Hi all,
I've been looking for some time now for an app that would be able to change both wallpapers - home and lockscreen - automatically at the same time.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find one. All they did was changing homescreen wall only. Ticking ROM option to set lock wall same as home also did not worked for me: at the next scheduled change home wall changed, but lock remained the same.
And this morning, to my suprise, I've found a way around this problem.
I've set lockscreen wall to animated windmill one. And then I've cycled wallpaper from within Wallpaper Switcher - not using system settings. And suddenly it changed both walls at the same time!
Lockscreen wallpaper remains somewhat dimmed, as the windmill animated was. But the thing is that as long as I won't touch the system wallpaper settings and use only the external tool to change home wallpaper, the lockscreen one will nicely follow.
I hope this will hope someone with the same desire: to have lock and home walls the same, and be able to change them both at the same time using app with scheduler.
ROM: stock LRI XEO with NoteCore 12 OC Kernel
try multipicture wallpaper in playstore...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

works for me... you have to use the stock apps only. use album app to select and crop and then it will work.

I have my lock screen set up for the Magazine unlock, with several subscriptions checked, and set up for auto-update over WiFi. But I've never seen any new photos added, they're always the same ones that came with the phone. Is there some other place that you have to set up a subscription to get access to new photos? In reviews of the phone last year, I read that these were supposed to auto-update, but mine never have.
same here, I didnt payed attention to it until saw this post, not sure what else need to be done to have these updated.
Same for me, too.
Even worse, it seems you can't even re-download the original wallpapers from the lock screen settings menu, if you have deleted them (which I did, thinking they could easily be restored).
I admit that I do not miss them severely as I now simply use one of my own wallpapers as a fixed lockscreen wallpaper. But I'm quite curious though, if there is some hidden subscription setting to get the original (and new) lockscreen wallpapers back.

silly question maybe but how do you do that? I've been trying to change the lockscreen wallpaper without no luck
@ilbambino:
1. Open the picture you want to set as the lockscreen wallpaper in the stock gallery app and tap on "More" --> "Set as" (any other app which allows to set an image as a wallpaper should work as well)
1a. Optional: You might get a selection dialog first which allows you to choose how to set the image as your wallpaper. Here you should tap on "Wallpaper(Gallery)" to get to the stock Huawei wallpaper assignment function.
2. Make sure that "Scrollable" is not activated (i.e. not written in blue, but in white) and move the image to show the part you want to have set as the lockscreen wallpaper.
3. Tap on the hook in the upper right corner. You should now get a dialog asking you wether to set the image as the wallpaper for your "Lock screen", "Home screen" or "Both".
4. Select "Lock screen", so that your homescreen wallpaper remains unchanged and your lockscreen wallpaper gets set to the new image.
4a. Optional: You might want to make sure that the wallpaper shuffle function of the magazine unlock style is disabled if you only want your lockscreen wallpaper to be displayed.

Vielen Dank!!!
Sometimes, if you apply the default Theme with Magazine Lock and wait awhile, you'll get a download.
I got several in the beginning. As soon as I switched to another theme, even with Magazine Lock, I never got anymore updates.
I haven't tried going back to a default Theme...I like mine too much now!
By the way, you do realise you can build your own series of magazine Lock pictures (upto 500!) by just adding them to your cover pictures?
It's excellent. Just build your own library of high res wallpapers from any source at all, and add them. It's even much better than the original.
There is also a security issue here! If you flick up the menu from this screen and select the gallery icon on the right and then press the home button it unlocks the phone!

I like the magazine and have added several pictures of my own. I have also deleted some of the pictures in magazine I did not liked.
As for the security "issue" from my lock screen I cannot get past any screen without the unlock code or fingerprint.
It's not working here either. I have a couple images (30) added manually, but the phone never cycles through them. I can however swipe left and right on the lock screen to see the pictures.
does anyone know why you can't install those live wallpaper in newer versions of Android anymore? I've noticed many people lost them when you'd upgrade your Android version to lollipop but i might be wrong, i suppose it must be something in the code that is currently outdated?
Here’s how to do it in Android 10 or Android 11.
Download a wallpaper from the Google Play store.
Press and hold on any home screen.
Tap the Wallpaper & Theme icon at the bottom of the screen or Wallpaper & Styles from the pop-up menu.
Tap Live Wallpapers.
Select a live wallpaper from the list.
Alternately, just tap on the Wallpaper app icon and follow the prompts to adjust the settings.
If you’re using a weather-based app, be sure to enable your location.
Tap Apply or Set to set the live wallpaper as your background.
Hello. I am new here. if there was any way I could upload a custom animated wallpaper and use it.
