Third Party Apps can't change LockScreen Wallpaper - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I am using tasker, auto Dark theme ( awesome by the way ), but there is a problem with Emui, all of those apps got a feature that consist in changing wallpaper automatically, but it only changes the home screen, not the lock screen, and of course I've selected the both to change.
Any ideas how to solve this problem ?
Thanks ?

Same, have to use the stock wallpaper changer

Yep
It's a 'mess'.
Same behaviour/pb with alternative launcher like nova.
I could change the walls in it, but they're soon replaced by the ones configured in stock launcher/theme app.
I'll try to play with some settings and system file access allow/deny.. With no win.
Good luck
Edit :
Don't know why.. But
Just allowed nova to local storage in system application autorisation.
Reboot
And now my screens settings (both home and locked) stays.
'Cherry on the launch', the sliding home background back too.
Hope it's help on your side.
Ps : of course the magazine lockscreen auto update is off

After reading your post I checked permissions on Nova Launcher, and the setting that allows it to change the lock screen background is "Write System Settings" from the info page for NL, no need for reboot

Hasn't that device just got a black background? ie, no wallpaper at all?

The problem is that i've changed it with the app made by maranell0 ( to change the wallpaper in all the tabs ), and now if i go in the settings tab and tap " Wallpaper " it sets the one that i've installed. I wouldn't make an hard reset cause i've just reinstalled all the apps.

No, cause it has been subscribed by the wallpaper .cab generated by maranell0's app. I need a new one.

It's not an image that could be found in the album, it's in the Windows folder, but i don't know the name.
In your windows folder
wallpaper_default.png
When you have wallpapers on all tabs and you want the same background on your home screen you need to change some key in the registery.
I don't know witch one
So if you don't want the same wallpaper you need to change the key back.
looks like a completely black wallpaper to me..the white is reflection to make it look more shiny

LauncherPro: Change dock icons size?

Hey guys,
i'm having a "problem" with launcherpro. Is there any possibility to change the size of the dock icons? I'm using the same icons as on the home screen but they are displayed smaller in the dock and i can't seem to change it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

LauncherPro resizes icons on the dock.
You can create a dock with your icons and use a transparent png.
But then i won't be able to use stuff like the new message counter right?

Well of course you'd be able to use it.. Why wouldn't you? :S
You do the exact same thing you normally do.
- Create a dock in Photoshop, like the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Apply it (Menu > Prefrences > Apperance settings > Dock background > Custom
- Add the shortcut you want (example) I want the app-drawer to show up when I press "APP launcher" on my dock
- So I long press "APP launcher" on my dock and choose appdrawer from Applications
- Choose custom icon and use a transparent PNG.
You don't lose any functionality. I don't see why you'd think that.
Thanks a bunch for the help!
What i ment was the positioning of the counter. It will be at the top right of the transparent.png and not on the top right of the custom docks logos. Thats what i meant. But i guess it should work fine
Thanks!
*edit*
Oh and one more thing. Is it possible to change the icon of a folder? Or is it only possible in the pro+ version?

[Q] wallpaper resize itself ?

Hi
I tried to use this wallpaper pixel (480x800) but somehow it always resize to 240x400 but when I do a screen capture this is the size I have (480x800) of a blow up picture. Please advice how I could get the full size image display on my i9000. Has anyone notice this ?
Thanks
This is what I would like to have and the size is 480x800
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is what I got and when I do a screen capture the size is actually 480x800
Anyone has similar experience ?
Thanks
Have you tried the app Wallpaper Set and Save? That might help, its a free app from the market just search "Set and Save"
Thank you for your replied, before I'm going to try any apk, just want to know if this happend to others i9000 as I'm using custom ROM, theme and kernal that may have cause this problem.

Yes, it does happen to me on EVERY launcher except for the default TouchWiz UI. I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro and GO; all with the same result. Is there a solution to this within the launchers themselves?
EDIT - I tried Wallpaper Set and Save, but it's not a good solution. it loads the image a bit better, but the zoom is still too great. Also it doesn't provide options for vertical or horizontal area selection on an image
Hi
What I found is by using ADW EX launcher as long as I set my image dpi at 72 less then the it works.

How To Set Wallpapers Correctly? (Tried WallpaperWizardrii and PicSpeed)

Anyone know a way to set wallpapers correctly?
I've tried WallpaperWizardrii which used to work well for me before I hid my notification bar (Apex Launcher). Ever since I hide my notification bar, it seems like WallpaperWizardrii doesn't realize that I hide the notification bar so it doesn't cover that part of the screen with my wallpaper leaving a black bar at the top where the notification would be if it were not hidden.
I've also tried PicSpeed which does correctly cover the whole screen but the problem is that PicSpeed seems to have some problem with gradients in wallpapers. For example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This wallpaper's (and many others) gradient looks fine on WallpaperWizardrii (but doesn't cover notification bar) but looks like crap on PicSpeed.
Right now my temporary solution is to use this app called Zedge which is a wallpaper stash app kinda thing. However, there is no option to set a wallpaper using Zedge so what I have to do is download a bunch of wallpapers in the Zedge app and then connect my phone to my computer and go to the folder where Zedge keeps it's downloaded wallpapers and replacing those wallpapers with my own by renaming my own wallpapers with the names of the downloaded Zedge wallpapers. That obviously is a hassle and the wallpaper thumbnails and previews in the Zedge app are still those of the old wallpaper's so that makes it hard to keep track of which wallpaper is which.
Is it really this hard to set a wallpaper right?
Once you download wallpapers from Zedge (or anywhere else I imagine, including transferring files via USB) they should show up in the Gallary app. Go there and find what you want to use. Using the expand button there should be a "Set picture as" option that lets you use it as a Wallpaper or a Contact's picture.
Try "quickpic" from playstore. I had the same problem and quickpic worked for me.

Wallpaper zoomed in with Nova Launcher

Hi, it's not really a S10 related problem, but the Nova support isn't answering my E-Mail for a week so I wanted to ask here if there's any solution for this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
https://imgur.com/TgDymT6
The wallpaper on Nova's home screen is getting zoomed in, no matter with which app I set it.
On the lockscreen of One UI it looks good.
It's both the same file in 3040x1440.
Wallpaper scrolling in Nova settings is disabled.
Is there any solution for this?
Nova stiil has support on Google+ until that goes away on April 2. Nova also has a Discord community where you can ask, https://discord.gg/sVg9j4J
That would be the best place to ask as this obviously isn't an S10 question.
I talked with the Nova support and they said that this is a Samsung issue and they're not able to fix this at the moment.
Samsung did some changes with the S10 and One UI and it seems that nobody know what they did exactly.
I'm wondering that I'm the only one who noticed this.
Try to add 2 or 3 homescreen and delete them...
One thing I noticed was that you can pinch to zoom while setting the wallpaper in Nova. Had one paper get applied zoomed and that was the reason, accidentally zoomed it myself. Otherwise, it doesn't appear to be doing any automatic zooming of my wallpapers.

Did you compare it when you set the exact same wallpaper for lockscreen and homescreen?
With some images this may not be easy to see but I tried different images and everytime it's zoomed in.
I also tried to zoom out on wallpaper selecting, but it is completely zoomed out. I can see the difference immediately when I set the wallpaper.
The Nova developers are sitting there with S10 and S10+ and can reproduce this issue and don't even have a clue why this is a thing on those devices.
Hi -
To solve this issue, swithc back to your Samsung ONe ui launcher, then set the wallpaper you would like UNTICK the motion effect box, and then switch back to novalauncher, it should be fixed!
