Android Setup Guide: Lock Screen Calendar Wallpaper

On Android, Lock Screen Calendar: Locka builds a calendar wallpaper image inside the app and applies it to your lock screen, home screen, or both. Unlike iPhone, you do not need Shortcuts — everything runs in the app.

Install from Google Play if you have not already.

1. Allow calendar access

When you first open the app, grant access to Calendar (and Reminders / notifications if prompted). Without Calendar permission, events cannot appear on the wallpaper.

• If you skipped permissions, open the app → Settings and follow the prompt to Open Settings, then enable Calendar (and notifications).
• Google or Outlook events only show if they sync on your phone: Android Settings → Accounts (or open Google Calendar and turn sync on).

2. Choose a style and set the wallpaper

Buying Premium does not apply a wallpaper by itself. You still need to set one:

1. Open the Home tab.
2. Swipe left to browse calendar styles (year, month, week agenda, sticky note, countdown, and more).
3. (Optional) Tap Customize to adjust colors, background photo, which calendars to show, and vertical position.
4. Tap Set as current (or Update if that style is already your active wallpaper).
5. You should see Wallpaper applied successfully.

Then open Settings → Wallpaper destination and choose:

• Lock screen (default)
• Home screen
• Lock and home screen

3. If you already bought Premium

Premium unlocks full customize options, more templates, and unlimited wallpaper updates. After purchase or reinstall:

1. Go to Settings. If you still see Get Premium, open it.
2. Tap Already Purchased? to restore.
3. Use the same Google Play account you paid with, and stay online so purchases can sync.

Then return to Home, pick a style, and tap Set as current.

4. Keep the wallpaper up to date

Editing events in Calendar does not instantly rewrite your lock-screen image. Refresh with one of these:

• Update / Set as current on Home — manual refresh
• Update when leaving app — refreshes when you leave the app
• Automation → Add time — e.g. every morning at 7:00

Tip: Automation always updates the style you last set with Set as current, not just the preview you are browsing.

5. Show the right calendars

If events are missing on the wallpaper:

1. Confirm Calendar permission is on.
2. In Customize, tap Refresh calendars and make sure the calendars you need are enabled.
3. On the Calendar tab, open Manage calendars and check that those calendars are not turned off.
4. Tap Update on Home again.

6. Widgets (optional)

You can also add Lock Screen Calendar widgets:

• Lock screen: long-press the lock screen → Customize → Lock screen → Widgets → Lock Screen Calendar
• Home screen: long-press the home screen → Widgets → Lock Screen Calendar

Available widgets include Calendar, Timeline, To-do, Habits, Today schedule, This week, and This month. Exact steps can vary slightly by manufacturer (Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi, etc.).

7. Foldables (Galaxy Z Fold and similar)

The app renders wallpaper for the screen size at the moment you update. After folding or unfolding:

• Open the app on the display you want to use and tap Update again if the layout looks cropped or off-center.
• In Customize, use Move calendar up/down or Dim background if the system clock or notifications cover your calendar.
• On Samsung, avoid putting the app to sleep under battery optimization so Automation can run reliably.

8. Quick troubleshooting

• Premium not unlocked: Restore with Already Purchased? and the correct Play account.
• Wallpaper did not change: Tap Set as current / Update, and check Wallpaper destination.
• No events: Calendar permission + sync + Manage calendars + Update.
• Automation never runs: Do not force-stop the app; allow alarms/reminders if Android asks; disable aggressive battery restrictions for Lock Screen Calendar.
