Keeping Two different wallpapers for LOCKSCREEN and HOMESCREEN ( like lumia, Mi devices) isnt it??
IF yes, do one thing.. install a LOCKSCREEN from playstore.. give it notification access and device permissions so that it can work as your Default Lock screen, and Disable real lockscreen present on your phone..
if the lockscreen allows you to keep wallpaper, then keep it ..

S7 Edge Marshmallow custom Lockscreen widgets

So I can't seem to find anywhere if there's a way to put custom notifications on the lockscreen. I just switched from S5 on KitKat to the S7 Edge on MM and I'm trying to set it up to my liking, but it seems like so many things are missing from it.
I don't like the Good Lock app it looks bad to me. I had Chronus widgets setup on my lockscreen and I like to scroll to access more widgets as well. I think there was a tweak from Xposed to enable that on the S5 and then the setting was available in the Lockscreen settings, however now I can't find a way.
Is MM that locked down? Is there any way to get custom widgets on the Lockscreen at all??
You are going to try some 3rd party lockscreen apps. For example C Locker or WidgetLocker.

Mod a samsung s8 for what app only ?

Hi guys so i wanted some advice i have a old samsung s8 that i want to give to my old gran as she is not tec savvy i want to know is it possible to remap the system so all it has access to is whatsapp and cant do nothing else take all apps off the home screen and such apart from whats app
many thanks
Yes, it is possible to remap your Samsung S8 so that your grandmother only has access to WhatsApp and cannot do anything else. Here are some steps that you can follow:
Create a new user profile on your Samsung S8, which will be used exclusively by your grandmother.
Go to the Play Store and download a launcher app such as Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. These apps will allow you to customize the home screen and remove all unnecessary apps.
After installing the launcher app, set it as the default launcher for your grandmother's user profile.
Go to the home screen and remove all the apps that you don't want your grandmother to access. You can do this by long-pressing the app icon and then dragging it to the "Remove" or "Uninstall" option.
Add the WhatsApp app to the home screen and place it in a prominent position so that your grandmother can easily access it.
Finally, lock the home screen layout so that your grandmother cannot accidentally move or delete the WhatsApp icon. You can do this in the launcher settings.
By following these steps, you can create a customized user profile for your grandmother that only has access to the WhatsApp app and is easy to use.
Hello thanks alot for your help just to ask how do i go about making another profile ?
