Title says it. I have a nice Nova Launcher setup on my S21 Ultra (TMobile), but every so often I would see a "Wallpaper applied successfully" while using an app and when I go back to the homescreen, my wallpaper changes to something else. The image doesn't even look like it's on my phone. I don't understand why it's doing this and I don't know how to stop it.
The dark themed image is what my display is intended to look, the other is what it'll change to. I thought Zedge was the culprit but no. I thought Samsung's wallpaper setting, doesn't seem to be that either. Any help would be appreciated. I'm willing to even factory reset my device
.
Do you have any other wallpaper apps installed? What makes you think it is Nova launcher applying the screen?
You might get logcat set up, and if you can make it reset the wallpaper, the log should tell you what is doing the reset.
I don't have that problem and I use nova launcher. I have a different wallpaper for the lock screen and another for the regular home screen
@GeekasaurusWrex what types of widgets are you using? I really like your setup.
I was using live wallpapers from Wallop and was having the same issue! But switched to a downloaded image and it hasn't happen since. I think it might be an all setting the wallpaper being the issue. Try to download it from the app and then let nova set it

I can't seem to get the wallpaper to change on the lock screen on cm6. If i use a live wallpaper its no problem but any downloads from my SD i use i end up getting a stock wallpaper like the grass or the colorful light spec, one only on the lock screen not the launcher. Its pretty weird and i can't figure out how to change it. Any ideas?

i am experiencing the same problem...
same here on the CM6R1 lock screen it has a green grass background. not the live wallpaper swaying grass, but a photo of grass. i dont see a place to change it.
If you're using a launcher like adw, that has happened to me before. To fix it, I cleared the defaults, and loaded into the default launcher, changed the wallpaper, changed it back, and it was fixed.
Then again, this is on cm6, and I'm not using cm so I wouldn't know. Just a tidbit.
Hello folks, today I decided to try ADW launcher on my GTAB. I must say there are some really great looking themes, and its quite smooth and nice to use. The only problem I have went through so far is that wallpaper doesn't fit the all screen when in landscape mode. I have tried to resize them with the Gallery App, and I have also tried to download new ones from interfacelift with resolution of 960x854 or 960x800 but nothing has changed, and even wallpapers downloaded from the Grallery app doest fit the all screen in landscape mode. So I thought it must be a bug in ADW. Is there a way to make them fit the all screen ??
Thanks
not sure if this will help as I dont have a tab, but go into the ADM launcher setting and check or uncheck the wallpaper hack option....maybe that will help

It's old thread but is there anything happened with that problem since December? lol
Im still strugling witht that problem and half an hour surfing on the net didnt help. I sent mail to developer but so far no reply.
So the problem is old does anyone solved it yet?
What exactly is happening? Are some parts of the screen not covered by the wallpaper or are you only seeing a part of the wallpaper. I use ADW and in landscape mode. I get the top third of a wallpaper fully covering the screen. A live wallpaper I use works perfectly. Perhaps reset ADW to its default settings?

Have you tried these wallpapers with any other launcher?
You'll find that its the gallery's fault more than anything. Try multi picture livewallpaper

I am experiencing this as well. Portrait mode there is no issue, it is just landscape mode.
The stock standard Samsung home screen doesn't have an issue, it is just when I am viewing the ADW Launcher EX home screen. It is zoomed in on a particular section of the wallpaper and is only displaying a portion of the picture.
I have a Samsung GT-P7510 running Honeycomb 3.1 and ADW version 1.3.3.1
I too have the issue with my galaxy note, and i started this thread and had no luck so far

ADW Launcher EX wallpaper rotation bug
Well, on my Nexus 5 using ADW Launcher EX :
I'm in portrait mode, I set a custom wallpaper (image fits full screen, sides as expected are scrolling left/right when I switch through the desktops).
Now, I just rotate the phone to go in landscape mode, the wallpaper rotates but is cropped top/bottom and left/right too. "Ok, whatever..."
Then I rotate the phone back to portrait mode : the wallpaper doesn't come back to its original state but is kinda "zoomed in" so cropped on the four sides... I have to re-set it to get my original picture back...
The only fix I found was to force ADW to be in portrait mode and not use the sensor (the default launcher sticks to portrait mode anyway).
So, there actually IS a bug in ADW Launcher EX...
I wish the developer would fix this...
This device continues to frustrate and confound me at every turn. I have tried many times to change the dreadful lock screen wallpaper and it just refuses to change it? I have tried both Go Launcher and the stock TW Launcher to no avail. I cannot wait for people to develop some better ROM for this thing. I think it really wants to be a great device but Samsung & AT& T just don't want us to be happy with it I guess.
settings>screen>screen display>lockscreen>wallpaper
I have done that multiple times still the stock bluish lock screen remains???

Might be a dumb question.....Did you click on OK in the top right corner after resizing the picture?
Did you try widget locker?

Dude, take a deep breath.
Go into Settings/Display/Screen. Do you see where you can change the font and homescreen wallpaper? On that same sub-menu there's another area for lockscreen wallpaper. Click it, it'll take you to the wallpaper cropper. Once you've cropped the image in the wallpaper cropper, be sure to hit OK in the upper right of the screen to save and set.
Alternatively, go into Gallery, find a picture you like, open the menu, it'll give you the option to set as either a homescreen or lockscreen wallpaper, then go through the standard crop process.
Lockscreen Wallpaper is NOT handled by the launcher code, it's an OS level action, FYI.

Croak,
I am by no means an expert but I have been messing with this stuff for a while and I have tried everything including what you mentioned. It does not change no matter what I try. It isn't the biggest deal in the world but I would like to be able to change that ugly lock screen background.
If you've done what I said, and it doesn't work, then something is borked on YOUR SPECIFIC UNIT. Lockscreen wallpaper changing is **** easy in Honeycomb, and it worked fine on both my Tab 8.9 LTE units, Bell and AT&T, both before and after flashing/rooting/overclocking.
If it really bothers you, backup and then factory reset, and if that doesn't help, move on to a reflash of the AT&T firmware. Guarantee that one or the other will solve your problem.
I take it you ARE seeing the option to change in Settings and in Gallery? If so, I suspect it's a permissions issue, and could be an artifact of the ADB fun you had when rooting and overclocking.
Can you fix permissions through adb?

You can, but we have no idea what exactly is fracked, hence the nuclear factory reset option. It's the only way to be sure.
I did a factory reset and can now change the wallpaper. But I lost root and everything else is setup previously what a PIA! Oh well guess I have to re-rooted and start over. On a good note the market seems to work better now was having issues with it loading slow and hanging.

Shouldn't have to re-root, just download SuperUser from the Market.

Yea factory reset shouldn't change the kernel
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Well it completely wiped everything. I did the factory reset from the UI not from recovery. No biggie I just reconfigured it from scratch. I found the problem was Quickpic which I like much better than the OEM gallery. But when I set Quickpic to default image handler it borked the lock screen wallpaper option. Once I cleared the defaults and used the gallery I was able to change the wallpaper no problem. Weird issue but I have learned that with Android nothing is surprising.
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
Some of you may be familiar with my typical home screen layout and custom wallpapers that I make on my PC. Well, I'm now experiencing issues with applying wallpapers to my home screen. Everything is slightly off, and not aligned properly. It appears that the phone is "zooming in" the wallpaper as it sets. Like, I'll have a border separating the notification bar area and my home screen but when applying the wallpaper that border is moved further up into the notification area. Like I said, the wallpaper seems to be "zooming in" as I set the wallpaper to my home screen.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. 12x12 grid. No dock.
I tried using Apex Launcher and ran into the exact same issue.
I've restarted the launcher. Restarted the phone. Used different photo apps to apply the wallpaper to the home screen. Nothing has fixed this. I'm not sure what else to try. If anyone here has any idea on why wallpapers are distorted (zoomed in a bit) as I apply them to my home screen, please help. Thanks!
ETA: Added two screen shots with a specific wallpaper that I found online to help show you what I'm talking about. When I see the preview of what setting the wallpaper will look like, it doesn't apply that way after setting the wallpaper.
Sweet, baby Jesus! I found the solution!
Please let this be a PSA for everyone who may run into this issue. The culprit was that stupid "Motion Effect" option while using the One UI launcher. You have to make sure when switching back to it from a third party launcher like Nova that you choose the "always" option so that it's your default launcher (stock launcher). Then when you do that and choose to apply a wallpaper, you'll see the "Motion Effect" option right under the image. Uncheck that stupid thing and your wallpapers will not longer "zoom in" like they did before.
Now, everything is lined up as it should!
