Hello everyone.
I'm using a very bad Android device. It's very bad.
I just want to set one picture as lockscreen wallpaper, but I find it is impossible. On this device.
The gallery apps doesn't support 'set as lockscreen wallpaper'.
I checked the system settings. It's broken. while tapping on the 'wallpaper settings', nothing happens. It's broken, it's very broken.
Are there any other 3rd app could help me setting lockscreen wallpaper?
(Also know that there are not any other roms for this device, so don't suggest me to change a rom)
use wallpapers app by google inc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.wallpaper&hl=en
or you can use any third party launcher like nova launcher

anyone know how to do this? i thought it was simple but i can't seem to find it in any settings
you cant. the lockscreen background is the same background as your homescreen wallpaper.
This is a small glitch but if you use a some replacement and change the live wallpaper it will appear in the lockscreen.
actually, found a great third party app that does it. Lock 2.0. Does a few other useful things as well. so while there is no "native" way to do it there are options...
I installed the GO Launcher EX that came with the Google Apps RAR in the developer forum and noticed that I am unable to set my own custom wallpaper. I am only able to set a Live wallpaper or the default one that comes with GO Launcher EX. Anyone else have this problem?
When I attempt to do so, I go to the gallery, select my picture, crop and size it, then try to set it. It does the whole "Saving" thing but when returning back to the launcher, nothing has changed.
I've tried both from the Wallpaper option on "Menu" as well as under Theme Settings in GO Launcher EX.
Also, anyone know of a way to change the Amazon lock screen? The Amazon lock screen is still present after installing GO Launcher EX and will change the wallpaper to one of the random lock screen ones after turning off the screen and locking the device anyway...
Thanks in advance!!
EDIT: I should also note that I am rooted.
I have the same problem but am not rooted. I would love to disable Amazon's rotating wallpaper in favor of one of Go Laucher's.
I was planning on going into the system files and locate the folder its pulling the wallpapers from. Hopefully all we have to do is replace them with the wallpapers we like. Go launcher wallpaper doesn't shift left and right for me either when screen moving.

the problem seems to lie in the Fire's own stock lock screen. given the fact that it is rooted, see if you can disable the stock lock screen (using No Lock from the android market) and replacing it with something like Go Locker or WidgetLocker (though some say WidgetLocker doesn't work well)

The wallpaper for the launcher is located in the launchers apk. The wallpapers for the lockscreen are in framework-res.apk the standard place for an aftermarket launcher to pull wallpapers from is framework-res.apk (correct me if I'm wrong. The rom would pretty much have to be custom to fix this. Therefore it would be best for us to get a working recovery(twrp or clockwork using short presses to move through menus and long presses to select) then focus on ICS or HC(probably better off ICS) so we have a soft home, menu, back button.
Then changing wallpapers would be a breeze.

I got no lock to work. Same solution used to get Android Market to work. Get Titanium Backup installed (need the paid version) and you can use it to change the installed No Lock app to a system app. Reboot and it works fine. Will need to have your Kindle Fire Rooted.
Ok, Now I have No Log working, but how do I replace the Lock Screen?
GO Launcher EX wallpaper, make it stick
It's not a question of disabling the locker; regardless of whether the phone locks or not, the default Kindle slider screen appears on wake-up, and after sliding, the default Kindle wallpaper is there instead of GO Launcher's wallpaper.
I, too, am greatly annoyed by this.
If pyrostic is right, then regrettably there's no simple way to fix this. Which would suck. (Many of us are not developers.)
Widget locker works well for changing the lockscreen wallpaper at least..

It won't stay after you restart.
Benjyp's procedure worked for me. I posted more specifics about what you can do about them.

OK. I've got the wallpapers to not change back to the Amazon ones by changing permissions on the /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper file, but I can't get scrollable wallpapers to work. I'm using the long rainbow one that came with Go Launcher but it's fixed and won't scroll. I've tried changing the settings in Go Launcher to the Default setting (to allow scrolling wallpapers) but that didn't help.
Anyone else having this problem?
Would you mind sharing how you changed permissions? I.e. what app used and changed from/to what?
My mom downloaded a live wallpaper and like the others, it keeps getting changed back.
so to stop it from changing wallpapers you have to root it?
yea gotta root to stop it from changing wallpapers. I feel like a solution will come out that doesnt require root...hopefully
Solution

Thanks, that solution works for me.
Hi, I've been looking all over the settings for a way to change the wallpaper on my lockscreen but can't seem to find anything of the sorts. Any suggestions. I'd rather not use a 3rd party app like Widget Locker as they just cause bugs as far as I know.
Hi,
I'm pretty new to android, but after some searching I can't find this application.
I am after an app which will change my lockscreen image after "x" minutes. I have the "Wallpaper Changer" app which works well for the wallpaper, but it doesn't affect the lockscreen.
What app's can anyone recommend? is "LockerPro Lockscreen" worth a try?
Thanks
You can use: "go locker ex" . Multiple background for everything you want. I can also recommend "Go launcher EX", which is an app where you can download multiple themes for your app, like IOs, glass, maya and uncoutable others (btw automaticly changing pictures or moving backgrounds will drown your battery VERY fast, just sayin

There are so many apps in play store but Go locker is best safe and trustworthy.
Go locker, smooth and customizable

Ok Thanks I'll try GoLocker.
You mentioned auto changing lock screen images drain battery. My plan is for just 2 or 3 changes per day. Would that affect the battery much?
Go Locker and Lock Screen Pro don't seem to have the option for time lock screen image changes. Am I missing something?
Ok so I've got Go locker and Lock screen pro but none seem to have the option for time lock screen image changes. Am I missing something?
Hi,
Is there any way to personalize the lockscreen (withou installing a new lockscreen app)?
I'm having issues with the meteorology app, beacuse it is always requesting GPS.
Or is there a way to stop the meteorology app from using GPS and just use a city choose by me?
I don't want it accessing the GPS all the time. I've already took it away from the homescreen but I haven't found a way to take it from the lockscreen.
Question 1, no not without installing another launcher. The icons on the LockScreen are the ones on the Dock.
Question 2, I would check in the Meterology App Settings, something along the lines of Location, Default home or something like that. Hard to tell when no one knows exactly which app you are referring to. Most likely look in Settings.
Hi,
Thanks for the answer and sorry for not being explicit.
I was talking about the weather app that comes with the phone.
If I add a new widget from that app to the homescreen I can choose a specific city but the widget on the lockscreen keeps updating using GPS.
If i use another weather app on the homescreen, the one on the lockscreen will not change and it will still be the one that came with the phone.

Basically the same applies. Go into Weather app, Menu(3 dots), Settings and unclick Auto detect my location.
It was the first thing I did!
