How to change lockscreen wallpaper on kindke fire HD 10(gen 7)? - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So after I removed the special offers on the lockscreen, it shows some (around 5 I guess?) stock wallpaper on the lockscreen routinely. I know the wallpaper can be changed in display > wallpaper, but I can't find the place to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Is there a walk-around to achieve it?

I've got the 6th gen HD 8, but in mine, I browse photos using the Prime Photos app. When I see one I want to use, tap it so it displays full-screen size, then tap the 3 dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the pic. One of the choices is Wallpaper. On my 8 HD, choosing and confirming this will set it as both the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper.

Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it. I was looking for the content related to "lockscreen wallpaper" and I didn't know that home screen wallpaper & lock screen wallpaper are changed at the same time.
Also, I can confirm that using your method and going to display > wallpaper have the same result.

There is a video which shows you how to do this

Totally unnecessary. Dragonfire1024 has demonstrated the way to change internal lockscreen wallpaper in his thread. As far as I know, that's the only way to customize the lockscreen wallpaper in a rotational way without using Amazon's app.

So...
What am i missing here? I've just changed my wallpaper, but my lock screen is still blissfully rotating pics from the folder of stock images that came pre-installed
EDIT found the answer in another thread. I mistakenly used Google Pics to change my wallpaper, not the control panel setting, which doesn't change the lockscreen.
On the other hand, this is a good work around to have different lock screen\wallpaper images.?

Sorry, but this was a year ago and I have no idea where I found it. Like I said in my comment though, my solution was to use the control panel. Also, did you pay to bypass the "sponsored" tablet? If not, you will always see the ads and never have control of your lock screen.
Other than that, I really can't offer much help. To be honest, I barely notice what my screen looks like these days. I use my Fire so infrequently I just open it, use it, and shut it off. So I don't know if the interface has changed.
Wish I could be of more help.

Disable the unwanted lock screen. Can you use Kustom Lock Screen Creator from Google Play Store

[Q]CM7 Wallpaper display issue

I have been happily running CM 7.0.3 (with the default ADW launcher) for a month now and it was only now I thought about tempering with the wallpapers (hah !). Anyways, whenever I load a 1200 x 1024 wallpaper, it really zooms out in portrait and appears with two black stripes in the Landscape mode. Have gone through all kinds of solutions but to no avail namely:
- Apps like "Wallpaper set and save", Flickie etc. - all of them suffer with the same issue
- Restarted 5-6 times
- Saved the 1200 x 1024 .png files in EMMC / My Files / Wallpaper but doesn't help since CM7.0.3 doesn't have a "Home Launcher" or Settings > Home > Set Wallpaper or a direct Homescreen "Wallpaper Chooser" app like my Samsung Galaxy Pro for example.
Will be grateful if anybody can help me out - am also surprised I did not find this exact problem mentioned in the forums at all - I can't be that unique !
Thanks,
Ranjan
You can't just long press the home screen > Wallpapers > Select wallpaper from " " ?
Worked on every Android device I have owned, including my Nook Color. Perfect wallpaper size would be 600x1024.

No, CM7.0.3 doesn't give an option to "Select Wallpaper from"...Did you have a CM Nook color or stock-rooted one ? Wallpaper size I am sure of 1200x1024 works the best - have gone through multiple posts on this forum and others .

Running CM7 nightlies. Have been since they were first released. Been setting wallpapers the same way for months now, even on regular android devices. It does give that option when you are holding down your finger on a blank spot on the home screen. It has too.

That sounds like the behavior of the built-in gallery app. At some point when you set your wallpaper are you selecting Gallery? Or is Gallery the only picture viewer on your device?
QuickPic works a lot better for portrait mode, it lets you adjust the cropping. Iirc, it doesn't work well for landscape, because it puts in the black bars. Wallpaper Wizardrii is a little fiddly, but otherwise works well with both portrait and landscape.
This problem has been mentioned in the forums atleast once. I know because I asked it. lol No worries though its probably not tagged. Anyways like the poster above said Quick Pick does a much better job.

Dunno why its missing on my device, it only gives me option to set "Cyanogenmod Wallpapers" / "Gallery" / "Live Wallpapers" - both Gallery and Cyanogenmod suffer from the issue I laid out above.
@akaCat, IFLATLINEI: Thanks for the help, doesnt help me though , want good landscape display. I think the issue is somehow the Wallpaper is not scrolling in portrait mode as well (it used to earlier), even though the option is enabled in the ADW launcher settings. Since it is not scrolling it is essentially showing a 1 portrait page image which it rotates in landscape and hence the black screen. I wish this could be resolved !!
Ok I'm going to bring this one back because the same is happining to me now. It worked before! Is there a definitive fix for this anywhere? I see a lot of pleas for help but no answer???????
I started using the free app in the market: Wallpaper Set & Save. Goes in at the correct aspect ratio and resolution (assuming your wallpaper file is correct ahead of time and saved in png format).

Why can't you set a whole picture as your wallpaper!?!

Has anyone noticed what happens when you try to set a wallpaper?? It only lets you use a portion of the picture, WTF. I went and got some wallpapers from the "show your homescreen" thread only to find out that I couldn't set them properly. Was it like this before 3.1? Also does anyone know a way around this problem??
Yea.. it is annoying.some say it is possible.
Tried and failed.

It *does* let you set the whole picture as your wallpaper -- it just doesn't show the entire wallpaper at once. That's by design, and for good reason.
Think about it for a second. When you rotate the tablet, you don't want your wallpaper sideways, so it has to rotate too. Unless the wallpaper gets stretched when it is rotated or has black bars at the edges (neither of which you would want), then there's no way around the fact that the tablet has to crop the wallpaper to fit it to the screen.
It's slightly complicated further by the fact that when you swipe between home pages, Android moves the "window" into the wallpaper slightly to give a sense of motion, thereby visually reinforcing the change between home pages. There's a setting to disable visual effects that *might* change that; I've not done so because I quite like it, so I can't say for sure whether it can be disabled.
It's easy-peasy to make good wallpapers for the TF, though. All you need to do is confirm the overall size, choose an image that works well for both landscape and portrait modes, and size it appropriately. (I don't remember the size offhand, but it's been mentioned in these forums before, so a search will find it.)

I have the same problem. I have tried it on the Xoom and the New Sammy 10.1 at the store...same thing. If your trying to use a picture from the gallery that you downloaded no matter the resolution it won't display the whole pic. To get a picture in the larger resolution I find one on the internet and long press and choose set as wallpaper. That's about the only way that works. I think it's a bug in Honeycomb..if it's not then its a poor way to do wallpaper from the gallery. I'm a photographer mostly for fun but it's not hard to see that it's only able to expand to a part of any resolution and then it is grainy looking because it's zoomed up too large on screen. I've even had it show the smaller crop as a smaller picture at the correct resolution on the screen with the black background around it...still not the whole picture. Sorry IMO ...BUG.

If you make it the right size, it *will* work. I know it will, because I made my own wallpaper and it fits perfectly.
If you set a picture as wallpaper using gallery it will ask you which part of the pic you want as the homescreen background and such. If you're thinking of stretching the picture, forget about it.

Here is a example of what I'm talking about.. The first is the original pic. The second is a pic from another thread where you can see it set to full screen. The third is my attempt to set that pic to full screen.

It works great.
I wonder if you can make a system folder that lets you add wallpapers to it so that they show up along side the stock wallpapers. I did this with notifications I made three folders on my SD card each inside of the next media/audio/notifications and that let me add sounds so that they showed up along side the stock ones. Another way would be to use the app Rings Extended.

Yeah, I load it into paint shop pro and increase the canvas to much larger. Ie, say the picture is 1280x800 i expand it to say 4000x4000 - then i can pick the area i want when cropping on the tablet

do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:

how to change lockscreen wallpaper

How do you change the lock screen wallpaper. It has the option but it doesn't even work....
I am trying to set it from a picture and have it stay that way. Seems like a bug unless I'm doing something wrong.
Same here, I've changed the lock screen wallpaper but it didn't seem to work.
Anyone else?
Just tried ...
Indeed there is a small glitch ...
i tried to change the Lockscreen background first to "Glaze" but i cancelled and take a pciture from my gallery.
And it worked - but for curiosity the "glaze" picture have now a checkmark on it and let me believe this is the one i have choosen.
But watching the lockscreen itself prove that it is my picture that is an the lockscreen

Can you elaborate
Solution kind of... Go to your lockscreen and swipe up from the bottom. There should be three options. Choose lock screen settings. Click on "wallpaper for today." Then click the plus sign in the bottom right hand corner. This will allow you to add a picture from your gallery. Once you have one saved in that list with random ones, go back to your lock screen. Swipe right until you find the picture you just saved. Then swipe up from the bottom and choose lock this wallpaper. It only lets you choose a max of 1 month but this will work. Pain in the a** but works.
sorry for beeing late ...
As you have your solution - still need a step by step?

it didn't work on me or i couldn't. any other advice?
I've got a similar problem. I somehow managed to change my lockscreen wallpaper at some point, but now it's stuck. My device is a A2017G B05 on the latest OTA Update. Using Google Launcher.
I was having the same problem. I saw some advice on this recent Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Axon7/comments/5fyyji/cant_change_lock_screen_wallpaper/
...that included setting the lockscreen wallpaper but NOT choosing to set that as homescreen when it asks you (just do that separately with the same image). I tried that at first and it didn't work, but I rebooted my Axon 7 and tried again and then it DID work. Hope that voodoo continues to work, but thought I'd pass it along here to see if it helps anyone else as well.
After so much time with the phone, it worked. I'm shocked tbh.
Before it was the default one but in settings it showed the one I chose. I just re-did it and it worked. Woohoo!
For anyone having this issue: Try rebooting.

How to download the changing lock screen wallpapers?

I never thought I'd like this ZTE feature with the constantly changing lock screen wallpapers, but they actually use some fantastic photos.
Twice I have found the process to properly find and download these wallpapers on my phone so they can be used as home screen wallpapers. Twice I've forgotten how to get there.
Anyone know what section/area this is in? It's not in the standard "themes and wallpapers" section of Settings.
I have no fingerprints set, use swipe to unlock. In this setup to download pics you like from dynamic lockscreen you have to swipe up gently this small indicator in the bottom on the screen and menu for dynamic lockscreen appears. Tap settings section on the right and go to headquarters of awesome photos
