cant change lockscreen? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hey guys i cant seem to be able to change my lockscreen on my s7 running nougat. I installed acDisplay and it worked but would then go to the samsung lockscreen. Any one know how to disable or change it. On other phones there was an option for this in default apps this phone doesnt have this.
Thanks in Advance.

I have a related question: I have an app that changes my wallpaper every day, but it doesn't change the lock screen wallpaper. In previous android phones there was a setting to have the lock screen be whatever the home screen is, how do I accomplish this on Galaxy S7?

[Q] Lollipop Lock Screen: Can you change the background? Or make it opaque?

I recently got the AT&T OTA Lollipop upgrade. Everything is fine, but I have an app that rotates my wallpapers from an RSS feed. The problem is I use my phone at work, and some of the wallpapers can be NSFW.
Is there a way to make the lock screen completely opaque, not just translucent which lets people see my wallpaper? Or better yet, is there a way to set the lollipop lock screen background to something completely different to hide the phone's wallpaper?
I tried different lock screen apps, but that made me have to unlock my phone twice. I rooted and switched to Cyanogenmod 12, but it didn't do what I want it to do either. Any help?

Can the lock-screen date/clock widget be changed or removed without root?

Is there any way to change the default lock-screen date/clock widget? Can it be changed to a different style or different font size, or removed? I have the AT&T model. Not rooted or modded. Just stock since I've had it. Thanks.
no, even with root isnt possible to do that so without root is even more impossible! forget about that...wait for MM update, the clock will change to flat without that circle.
Thank you very much!!!
You can disable LG lockscreen in settings menu and instal another lockscreen from play store. I am using AcDisplay and it is much better than default and looks very minimalistic...
How do you disable lockscreen. Do you mean Setting > Display > Lock screen , and then disabling PIN? That kills Android Pay for me, so it's not an option. (Android Pay requires PIN). Nonetheless, It's still good to know, thank you!

[Q] How to disable lock screen weather

Hello all, I have a frustrating issue. I cannot seem to purge the weather widget from my lock screen. It's some sort of widget that auto-rotates the screen to portrait and provides a slide-out tab that displays my local weather (screenshot attached is with the tab slid out). It only started appearing recently (never had this happen before), however I don't know what triggered it. There are no lock screen system settings that allow me to enable or disable anything but the clock. I have removed every weather app from my device (even the stock app). I even froze TouchWiz (I use ADW instead) thinking that might have caused it. No dice.
So what app/widget is this and how do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance.

Lock screen widgets/info

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to to add some widgets to the lock screen but cannot see the option do so. The main idea is to display the alarm along with the native clock icon and see the calendar events without having to unlock the device. I treid next lock screen but the behavior seemed a bit weird and I would like widgets on the stock lock screen itself. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, no way to do that unfortunately. I don't think lock screen widgets have been a feature since 4.2

do u know of any 3rd party locker that would work perfectly with the fingerprint unlock and replace the stock locker?

How to display different wallpaper for Desktop and Lock Screen?

Hey all. Gosh I feel like an idiot for posting but cant for the life of me figure this super basic thing out.
Im on a S7 Edge, using Nova Launcher, and the Goodluck UI. Wanted to mention all that as I think that is why Im having so much trouble. No matter what app, or setting on the phone, it makes the wallpaper the same for both the lock scree and desktop. Can someone tell me what steps work with the configuration I have
Thanks!
Usually you would use the wallpaper setting in Android itself and tell it to set the Homescreen/Lock screen separately using the dropdown at the top of the wallpaper choice screen, but iirc, Good lock has its own wallpaper setting, I don't use it so not sure where it is, but I'd have a look in Good lock settings to start
You can set the home screen however you want, but the lock screen has to be done a specific way. Go into the stock Gallery app, find the pic you want to use then hit "More" in the upper right corner. Then "Set as wallpaper" and choose which you want to set it for, home screen, lock screen, or both.
It's annoying to have to use the Gallery app as it has no way to filter out unwanted folders like all my music folders with album art, but it is the only way I've found so far to set different lock screen and home screen wallpapers.
