Users may finally be able to set separate live wallpapers for the lock screen and home screen with Samsung One UI 6.0. For static wallpapers, the different wallpaper selection feature is already available, and Google is reportedly testing it for the new Android 14 operating system.
Samsung One UI 6.0
The Android operating system began to support the live wallpapers feature in 2009, and it continued to do so until the most recent stable version of Android. Using the Good Lock customization suite’s Wonderland module, Samsung also lets users use live wallpapers on Galaxy devices.
Good Lock’s Wonderland, like Android, can put live wallpaper on the “home screen” or “Home screen and lock screen.” The live wallpaper for only the “lock screen,” which Samsung may eventually introduce with One UI 6.0, cannot be selected.
Android 13 QPR2 includes several code changes, according to XDA, in preparation for enabling an “independent lock screen live wallpaper” feature. A new method called setWallpaperComponentWithFlags() is added to Android’s WallpaperManager class by a single code change.
System apps that hold the SET_WALLPAPER_COMPONENT permission, such as Android’s Live Wallpaper Picker app, can use this method to “set the live wallpaper [component] for the given screen(s)”, such as the home screen, lock screen, or both screens.
Please be aware that the company may have reserved the feature for the public beta program, which is why it is not included in the Developer Preview build of Android 14. Android will receive the separate lock screen live wallpaper feature via a firmware update as soon as the testing phase concludes.
In addition, Google is introducing a brand-new volume control panel based on the One UI with Android 14. Additionally, Samsung’s Android 14 update for Galaxy users should include a new Emoji Wallpaper generator feature in the upcoming operating system.
