Unable to disable pattern/password lock screen & have two different wallpaper on Lock and Home screens

[beavc]

Hi

I am unable to disable my lock screen i.e. i don't want to use a passcode or pattern to unlock and have two different wallpapers. Anybody have a solution? Is there a setting I am missing? I tried everything, the two wallpaper are always the same.

First of all, if the option for no passcode or pattern lock is disabled, you're most likely connected to an exchange server, where a policy that requires password is set.

Regarding the wallpaper/lock screen, open settings > display > lock screen > background to set a different background for the lock screen.

Hi Samuel,

Passcode - not the case. I got the selection for passcode back when I cleared the credentials settings. Then I am able to switch around.

Screen - noticed that with passcode on, albeit setting a different wallpaper for lock and home, I can't seem to have two different wallpaper. Only with the passcode turned off then the two different wallpaper appears. Any particular reason?

The lock screen wallpaper is active only when you have the swipe option enabled. When using pattern/PIN/password/face it will use the background image instead.

Since lollipop update I can't take password unlock off front screen, I wanted the swipe to unlock but does not give me that option.
