If you're using a 3rd party launcher and unable to change wallpaper / lock screen for whatever reason, try changing back to stock launcher and then change your wallpaper / lock screen then change back to 3rd party launcher of choice.
Credit goes to the person I read on en.miui.com
Thanks for the tips !
I actually figured this out it was really bugging me . I'm sure it's a bug on mi ui.
The ultimate reason is that Documents UI app is not part of MIUI system. A lot of Wallpaper apps are relying on the Documents app as content provider (since that's the supposedly exposed folder browsing API). File browsing implementation of MIUI's Lockscreen is too proprieatry.

I assume that this problem is common to all and it is still amazing that I haven't found any solution other then using 3rd party UI
The problem in simple words is happens when you long press the screen accidentally, then the object is widget is been remove or shift to other screen.
in Luncher Nova UI, this problem can be solve easily by locking the application after done editing
does anyone have any idea how can it be done in Samsung to Goggle original UI ?
Can't... Have to install a non stock Launcher like Apex, Nova, etc.
Hi,
so kind of a 2 point topic.
First is more of an inconvenience. As you know you can set the lockscreen wallpaper from the stock launcher. But if you happen to use another launcher (like probably many of us), there is no way to access that setting.
Second point, don't know if it has to do with the first, within the background settings there is an option to get "Shot on Oneplus 5" images changed daily as your background. I activated this setting, but it doesn't work, the background never changes.
Question is, is this a bug? Or does it not work because I run Nova Launcher instead of the stock one?
Has someone seen this feature in action?

On the first point, also found it a bit confusing, at the end I went through Google Photos gallery and did set the wallpaper that way (for both lock- and home-screens).
Hi - I've been looking to replace my launcher from touchwiz as I need landscape orientation for the home page.
Do any of the alternative launchers support split screen? Doesn't look like Nova, Action Launcher or Google Launcher do, and I cant find Samsung's Good Lock for some reason as I thought that might.
Any ideas? Thanks
Samsung doesn't want launchers to work in split screen. That is a design decision which makes sense when you think about it. The same reason that the launcher does not show in "Recent apps".
Fear not, there might be a solution.
A simple trick would be to get the apk that you want to try in split screen and then edit its AndroidManifest.xml file so that the app doesn't know that it's a launcher. (Not sure if you can do that directly but most probably you'll have to Decompile the app -> edit manifest -> Recompile the app.
If you have spare free time you can google how to do all this. And see if its possible. (Most probably it is.)
I found a great solution! I force landscape mode using an app and Nova in split screen - ie I have music on touchwiz one side, and nova on the other. That way I can run any apps split screen. Inside nova I can run maps which wont run on it's own in split screen.
Touchwiz allows this with launcher apps which are not set as the default home.
In fact it works fantastic. I use it along with a floating app launcher so I can press home and it wont take the whole homescreen home, just the nova launcher.

I recently downloaded the GalaxyS8_Dark_clock_noframe.apk and it is WOW! Although I only got to try out the trial version on a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 with android v6.0 (marshmellow) I noticed that in the gallery app the title for each album is white against a background of white and not black against a background of white or white text against a black background? See attached image.
Is there a freeware theme that is similar with the dark menus,notification window,etc as I don't have that much data so I can't google that much....
Thanks
I got this device for my parents. So I'm not going through trouble of rooting and flashing custom roms.
So I thought to debloat all the miui stuff.
By far I've pretty much been successful, disabling apps through adb.
What I can't get around is the fact that there is a custom mechanism through which lock screen is being shown. This app called Theme manager (com.android.thememanager) is enabling something called wallpaper crousel.
Now I've disabled both, but doing so sets a default static wallpaper. I want it to be same as home screen (rotating Goohle wallpapers). But there seems no way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated, just want to get to stock lock screen or at least set same home screen / lock screen wallpapers.
I have a rick that worked. go themes than go to live wallpapers set any one live wallpaper from the themes app on both homescreen and lockscreen now go to google wallpaper app and set a wallpaper on homescreen and lockscreen this will work on recent miui 10 roms.
Hello.
I have been attempting to use the super wallpapers ported from MIUI 12 since, as far as I know, the Note 7 does not support this feature.
I followed the instructions and downloaded the apks, installing them and then applying them through the Google Wallpapers app. While this does apply the super wallpaper to the home screen, the lock screen is left untouched, continuing to show whatever wallpaper was added using the stock Themes or Gallery apps. I did a bit of googling and tried to use an older tactic that seemed to work for some users on MIUI 11: set a video wallpaper from the stock Gallery app, and whatever live wallpaper that was added on top of it from Google Wallpapers would appear to overlay on top of the non-renderable video. This unfortunately did not work due to me having a system wallpaper installed, which appears to continue to exist under the gallery-applied wallpaper. This applies for any wallpaper added from the Themes app.
I decided to uninstall the Themes and Themes Module system apps using Termux and Debloater (Terminal Emulator) from Magisk. This seemed to leave the last-installed wallpaper from the Themes and/or Gallery app stuck on the lock screen, with no viable way to change it. After reinstalling the two system apps, the Themes app can no longer connect to servers, giving an error when trying to load wallpapers and crashing when selecting themes from My Page. I am essentially blocked from changing my lock screen wallpaper from the Themes app, and setting a wallpaper from Gallery also gives an error "cannot load wallpaper."
Aside from this, there are no other issues with my device. Any suggestions? Thank you.
My device has stable MIUI Global 12.0.1 and Orangefox Recovery.
