How to remove Lock Screen Wallpaper!

[matteosaeed]

So, I was looking for a while how to remove the wallpaper on the lockscreen to match the one I have on my homescreen automatically. Some apps that apply wallpaper don't give you the option to select to change the lock screen, and the only way is to go through the touchwiz system wallpaper chooser, and it will prompt. Otherwise, I might have found a solution??

The trick is very simple, head over to the galaxy store and install good lock, then from the good lock settings uninstall it, and it will remove the lock screen wallpaper and it will match your homescreen if you change your wallpaper a lot. I also found if you changed the theme, you'd have to re-do the process over again. Make sure to select your favorite theme first before you do this.

Did anyone find a simpler solution? Please share if you have one!

Interesting... I was trying to figure this out to use with Muzei. I'm wondering why note 7 doesn't have the ability to choose lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper the way older galaxy's did.

Anyway will try this and report back

Um, all you have to do is go into your gallery, choose pic, choose set as wallpaper, and then select lockscreen..

Yeah but that only selects the wallpaper, it doesn't do anything else. It doesn't match. The objective is to match the same screen. I'll try with live wallpapers and repot

AND IT WORKS! Nice bug find!

I can finally set my Muzei homescreen to match my lockscreen.

I wonder why Samsung took this simple feature away

Um, no.

You can only choose wallpapers from your gallery but no third party option for wallpaper apps like Muzei or other live wallpapers

Awesome, glad to hear it worked for you. For a while, it was bugging me. Here is a funny thing. As I am using the phone now like that, sometimes after unlocking the phone, I see flashes of what appears to be stockish android before the tw launcher comes, barely noticeable and very interesting.

You're missing the point of Muzei... It's about having it automatically cycle.

Ohmigah.. stop I can only get so erect.

On a serious note, that is very interesting... A Galaxy device with stock Android UI plus unique Samsung features would be a Android fan's dream.

When I uninstall good lock my lock screen just reverts to the default wallpaper. Am I doing something wrong?

What I did was took a picture of the wall with my phone flat up against it in low-light with my screen darkened. Then I edit picture in gallery (darkness down, contrast down). I did that twice then saved it as a perfectly black picture then I set my wallpaper (home screen and lock screen), using TouchWiz.

Thanks for the tip. Now my live wallpaper is also now on my lock screen.

Works great, thank you. Nice to have again live wallpaper on lock screen.
Currently "good lock" app is not available on Galaxy store, but it is available here:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...lease/good-lock-24-0-12-android-apk-download/

Don't try other apps with the same name from Google play because it will not work.

There is also a way to do it. Download and set a live wallpaper as background on both desktop+lockscreen. Then unistall the lwp. There, both desktop+lockscreen should have a blank (black) background. Then when using an app like QuickPic that doesn't give an option to set wallpapers in both desktop+lockscreen, becouse all are blank, setting only desktop wall then lockscreen will also have the same (because it is transparent now)
Maybe some developer could make an app that removes the background wall from both desktop+lockscreen, that way it whould be much easier to do it.
