Hello Everyone,:)
I hope you all are fine...;)

Many of you must be annoyed because of the new wallpaper selection for the phone...
No LiveWallpaper for LockScreen, unless you buy it from Samsung Themes...:(

Well, I bring you the Solution as I tested it myself...:D
By Porting the Wallpaper Picker from my Note 4 and using it on my Note 7...
I have tested on a non-root phone and installing didn't work, tried through adb also failed...
You must have a ROOT Access in order to make this work...
Follow these steps:
1. Download the WallpaperPicker:
Wallpaper Picker
2. Copy the .apk to your system apps in my phone the path is '/system/app/' and reboot your phone...
Alternatively, Force install it as system app with an android application such as System Apps Installer [ROOT] - this is an example...
3. Now install this app from the playstory:
QuickShortcutMaker
4. Open QuickShortcutMaker and search for wallpaperPicker "one word"...
5. You'll see one result, click on it to expand, you'll see 'wallpapers' and 'crop wallpapers', click on 'wallpapers' then click try (you can create a shortcut to easily access it later)...;)
6. Looks familiar? Yes this is the old Wallpaper Picker, select "Home and Lock screen" and knock yourself out LOL...:p

"I will upload photos later":cool:

Please report whether it's working or not...:victory:
I'll do my best to help...
