now im trying to figure out how i could change the background of my lockscreen with the pattern lock, anyone know an app that'll let me do this?

You don't need an app for that. Just go to the gallery, select a pic and select set as lockscreen wallpaper

Are you guys perhaps talking about how to customize the lockscreen? That's done with a few apps, WidgetLocker being the most popular (and probably most versatile). I got lost on the pattern lock description myself :)

The pattern lock from the stock lockscreens. He isnt using an app. He just wants a different wallpaper.

I don't have a selection that says "lockscreen wallpaper"

On a Samsung, you go to Gallery>open a picture>menu>more>set as>lockscren wallpaper.

If the above does not appear on yours, try this:
Menu>Settings>Display>Wallpapers>Lockscreen Wallpaper>Gallery>Select picture.

(not my phone, but this is what I use)

On a Samsung, you go to Gallery>open a picture>menu>more>set as>lockscren wallpaper.

Doing that only brings up "Set as Contact Icon" and "Set as Wallpaper"

If the above does not appear on yours, try this:
Menu>Settings>Display>Wallpapers>Lockscreen Wallpaper>Gallery>Select picture.

It worked till the end of the red. Under my display settings there is no option called Wallpapers.

I would use an app for my lockscreen but the problem I have with that is I would either get the original lockscreen or both lockscreens at the same time.
