How do I set live wallpaper on EMUI5? - Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers

I've downloaded the new Pixel Livewallpapers and I was able to set it on my homescreen. But When I try to set it on my lockscreen, it doesnt show the livewallpapers. Only the normal wallpapers.

as far as i know there is no way to run live wallpapers on the lockscreen without any third party lockscreen apps on the p9 plus.

Dual wallpaper?

Hi i'm wondering if any body knows if it's possible to have two different wallpaper for each launcher home screen for example.
the mix has the miui launcher and i installed nova launcher and i have a wallpaper on the nova that doesn't look good on the miui home screen, this is why i'm asking if any body knows and point me on the right direction. thank you
As far as I know, when you set a wallpaper in a launcher and switch launchers, the wallpaper you set will be kept; in certain launchers there's a default wallpaper that overrides what you've set on the first launch, but apart from that, in my experience when a wallpaper is set all launchers will use that wallpaper. It's not that big of a hassle to switch wallpapers manually every time you switch launchers, is it?
You are right that is not a hassle to change it but I would like it to be automatic, ho. well

KLWP & Nova Launcher - Wallpaper Scroll Issue

Hi guys
I am reaching out to you guys because I haven't found an answer in the world wide web and probably some others would have the same problem as I have.
I recently installed KLWP app to customize my wallpaper. Problem that I am facing is that with no used Launcher (Nova, Apex, Evie) I can make my wallpaper scroll. Option is always on and I also checked that I have the same amount of pages in KLWP and my home screen. Not even with the standard launcher of P20 it's possible.
Does someone of you have a potential solution for me?
Thanks a lot for your help and best regards from Zurich
No solution, but the same problem on a P20 (not Pro). Tried to set a picture as wallpaper in Nova Launcher, but scrolling doesn't work. I also tried to force scrolling in the nova settings, but this crashes Nova.

I have a potential solution for you. I have had exactly the same problems like, as it seems, a lot of other Huawei users and nothing seemed to work. I then installed a bunch of different launchers and I finally got it working with Action Launcher. It worked out of the box, even tho if I made changes within the action launcher the KLWP became static again. I switched betwwen stock launcher and Action Launcher until I had my KLWP set up with all the settings I needed. You have to play around with that a little I guess, but I really think it will work for you.
The Launcher is this one.
Kind regards from Germany!
has there been any solution or work around for this? as i have a pretty cool setup i used for my previous sony xperia z2 and want to use it form y p20 pro but wall paper scrolling is integeral to it.
When you choose wallpaper click on the scrollable icon so it turns blue, your wallpaper is now scrollable when you apply it
I did the scrollable option in the standard launcher and it worked but I'm more interested in getting it to work using nova launcher. That's where everything seems to break down on me. Using standard everything works the way I want, just to complete the setup, I need to fully customize my app looks and shortcuts.
Same issue with Honor 10. Force scroll option on Nova Prime crashes the launcher.
Do you have the ability to select live wallpapers through the normal stock launcher?
As I've noticed on stock launcher the only live wallpapers you can see are the ones through Huawei's Theme App and no option to use external live wallpapers, so I wonder if this is the problem. I've emailed them and just waiting for a response as they state you should click on 'more' and then get option for live wallpapers in top right screen of which I don't, it's only the huawei theme app
Wallpaper scrolling works for me using Nova. I can also select external live wallpapers using Huawei's themes app.
If I use certain wallpaper apps to apply the wallpaper directly from their app, it doesn't work. But I found that once applied, I can then use nova wallpaper selector to reselect the same wallpaper from its 'history' options and this forces the wallpaper to now scroll.

I was on 156 and now on Android Pie EMUI 9. Scrolling still works for me. Stock theme.
On my side, i try to disable the wallpaper scrolling because when i set a static "portrait" picture, it zoom the picture and it's a mess >_< (nova launcher set in static wallpaper)

So you are on a totally different model/firmware as not all P20 Pro's are the same, it doesn't work on the CLT29-8.1.0.131 (C782)
Update: according to Huawei 3rd Party Live Wallpapers are not supported.
In response, please note that Google live wallpaper, KLWP or any other non Huawei themed live wallpaper are not supported by the device

I've not gotten Nova Launcher Pro to work. As others have stated, if I select Scroll Wallpaper to On, nothing happens. Just a static wallpaper. If I choose forced, it crashes.
The Microsoft Launcher works fine however. Just set a regular wallpaper to scrollable in the Huawei Wallpaper app, then you can apply KLWP. This has worked for me at least. The drawback of the Microsoft Launcher is that it doesn't have the workaround for the 5 second delay which is a pain. I've reported the issue to Microsoft a few times, both on the Google Group and Twitter, but so far, nothing.
SOLUTION :_Wallpaper scrolling in klwp
Its simple.... If u have 3 screen klwp live wallpaper jst save it from klwp and come to home screen(hope you have nova) then hold the screen untill it arrives to add screens.
Add 3 blank screens and feel the magic of klwp.
U must also enable wallpaper scrolling in nova settings

Google "Wallpapers" app to change the lockscreen wallpaper daily

Hello,
I'm new to Android with my fresh new Honor 9 Lite, and don't know if my problem is EMUI (8.0) related or launcher (Nova) related.
I've installed Google "Wallpapers" app to change my lockscreen's wallpaper daily, but the app only changes the homescreen's wallpaper.
I've tried :
- Setting my wallpaper through Nova's settings, selecting the Wallpapers app, but I didn't have the choice to select a daily wallpapers (only a static one from Google Wallpapers), and it didn't change both of my wallpapers (only my homescreen's wallpaper)
- Setting my wallpaper through Google Wallpapers app, but it didn't change both of my wallpapers (only my homescreen's wallpaper)
- Setting my wallpaper through EMUI settings, but it didn't change both of my wallpapers (only my lockscreen's wallpaper) and I don't have the option to select one wallpaper from Google Wallpaper's app.
I noticed that if I changed my lockscreen's wallpaper with Google Wallpapers for a static wallpaper (not a daily changing), my wallpaper was weel set to my lockscreen. But I can't change for both the homescreen and the lockscreen at the same time.
Does anyone encountered that problem ? I've tried to search everywhere since two days, but I didn't find a lot of subjets related to my problem, and didn't find a single answer that works for me.
Thanks !

Lock screen

Is it possible for google music to show an album art cover as a background on the lock screen as it did on my previous phone (the old nexus 5x)?
Also, is there a way to change lock screen wallpaper? On my previous phone I had the app called APOD and it changed my wallpaper for both home and lock screens daily. On my Mi T9 Pro it can only change a wallpaper on the home screen. I also can't change lock screen wallpaper manually... I can only choose a wallpaper from theme app. Is it possible to fix?
Thanks!
umm, you can change wallpaper under settings>wallpaper choose the first option, select the pic, and apply to lockscreen only
or use a custom launcher? (nova FTW)
also, you can use retro music player, I think that allows an overlay, but music isn't much of a priority for me, so IDK
Miui is kinda broken when it comes to wallpapers. You can only set the lock screen wallpaper in settings and not in for e.g. google photos or a 3rd party wallpapers app. However you can change the home screen wallpaper from anywhere. Kinda stupid
