I can´t change my lockscreen now.
I´m not sure what I did, but now when I press the wallpaper option in settings, it only opens the themes app. It used to open a different menu where I could choose the wallpaper for the lockscreen or the homescreen.

Is there any way to change the Desktop Visualizer icons without having to delete them and re-create them? This is somewhat of a hassle.
Replace the image files on your SD card with the image you want to change. Then reboot.
LOL! I don't know why I didn't think of that... THANKS!
If you open the app from your launcher, hit menu then refresh widgets. Choose edit mode. Now when you click on a widget made with Desktop Visualizer you go to the edit screen instead of launching. When you're done editing, tap the notification and it will change to normal... or you can do the same thing you did to edit, just choose normal mode.

Sweet! This will come in handy.
Is there any way for me to set my own wallpaper for my homescreen and lockscreen without using ICS's crappy cropping tool?
I know there's an app for your homescreen, but when it comes to lockscreen I can only go into the Themes app and set it from there. Even then, it is majorly zoomed in and blurry.
If it still like GB MIUI, go to lockscreen wallpaper in themes app and hit menu button, choose from gallery and there bam!

OK, now it won't even show a crop tool. It just automatically does whatever it wants for the lockscreen wallpaper. When I try to change my homescreen wallpaper through this method it still uses ICS cropping.
Try the free app QuickPic- when you go to set your wallpaper, it should come up as an option alongside Gallery or whatever. It has its own cropping tool and recognizes your setting for wallpaper, i.e. non-scrolling (fixed) or scrolling (scaled across homescreens) and allows you to crop accordingly.
edit: I am on an AOKP-based ROM and the lockscreen option lets you choose which cropping tool to use- not sure if your ROM will allow this...
Since I couldn't find any answer, I'm posting here my question:
There is any chance to add back the weather animations on homescreen and on lockscreen?

For lockscreen you must enter to the Settings>Personalize>Lockscreen and choose the Weather
I know that, thanks, but there's no weather in there . I know how to add it (I still have the Htc One X too), but there's no weather animation (the one from sense 4).

Set Wallpaper to Weather... After in lockscreen style choose wallpaper...
you have 2 choices at wallpaper (current) lockscreen: press settings, and "use home wallpaper" or "use custom wallpaper";
- if you choose 1st, is the default one.
- if you choose 2nd, you have to select an wallpaper.
so, where can I find that option that you are talking about?

as first you must change the Wallpaper section. Personalize > Wallpaper. select Live Wallpapers. and select weather here.
in Lockscreen select Use Home wallpaper.
Thx mate! so I can use that animation weather only when I'm having the live wallpaper weather, right? It can be done without live wallpaper? ...anyway, thx a lot!

your welcome. yes you'll have live weather wallpaper. I don't know any way without live wallpaper.
I am using google launcher and when I try and change my background it does not change the lockscreen background too.
When I go to change the lockscreen background in settings it does not offer the same options to choose from as my normal background...
Not Sure why you are posting this in the Galaxy S6 forum since the question is about Google Launcher. It's not a Galaxy s6 question but, a Google questions.
However, it's been a while since I used Google's Launcher. But, when you choose a wallpaper, it should ask if you want to use it for either the Home Screen / Lock Screen or both.

Easiest way to take care of that is to go to your gallery app or whatever you use to view the image, select "More" in the upper corner, then "Set as wallpaper", then select "Home AND Lock Screen". Profit.

i use the google now launcher too, and i have no problems with this. after you choose wallpapers in the home screen. slide all the way to the right and choose wallpapers again, there you can choose where you want to change your wallpaper, home screen, lockscreen or both.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has an ideea about how to create a shortcut to the Set Home and Lockscreen Wallpaper section in Personalization. Currently if you want to change the wallpaper for these 2 at the same time, you have to go and click like a million times through the Settings to this section. I tried using Activities feature from Nova Launcher but no luck, the Personalization activity shortcut doesn't seem to exist.
