I doubt it...because my friend has the eternity and there is no way for him to change it...and both phones are very similar...so i think its gunna stay that way...only thing i can think of is to delete all the pics and maybe it will use one of ur own pics...but i wouldnt recommend it.

I don't know how it happened, but mine randomly changed from the bridge to the big yellow flower and back all on it's own. Maybe there's something behind this?

Update: It changes the image every time you press the lock, send, or end call buttons while the screen is off with the lock turned on. I've only seen the preloaded pictures though. There's probably a folder that has the images in it if anyone can browse their system files.

This is one of the things that I do not like about this phone. I have a Palm 680 before I got this one, and I loved the way I could customize that phone any way I wanted to.

Well Im sure it could be changed with TKFileExplorer. I found the stock wallpapers with the program. Now I dont know if you could delete them and replace them with your own but I dont know why not. If you uploaded them to your computer to save them and then replaced them with ones of your own using the exact same name just to be sure it should work. So If I had a particular wallpaper in mind I would make 7 copies of it and rename each to the 7 names of the stock pics and the phone shouldnt be the wiser.

I havent done it yet cause personally I hardly ever see that screen but it should work. That is if they can be deleted with TKFileExplorer.

Ok, guess it doesnt work. I spoke too soon. Was browsing on the behold site and they were able to delete locked images and applications so i figured we could too with TKFileExplorer. But with a little SEARCHING I found out we couldn't. Sorry Embarrassed

I've been doing some searching about this, and I have not found out why it is not possible to change these images. Granted, I did not look at any other forums...but I Googled the hell out of it! Maybe I missed something.

If I have access to the File System with TKFE, why cant I just delete them and replace?

Because there are 2 copies of those locked pics. ! copy in the file system that isnt used for the locked screen. And they cant be changed either because that folder is locked. The other copy is hidden somewhere and not in the file system.

if you can delete the preloaded screensaver pictures then all you need to do is take pictures put them on your computer change the file extension to .bmp and you should be good to go. NOTE i have not tryed this because i have not found a way to delete the pictures that samsung locked also i will try and add a .bmp picture file on my phone and see if it works i will let you know how it turns out. NOTE!!!!!!!!!!! disregard this it did not work. sorry
