How to Change Wallpaper on Android Tablets
Wallpaper is the background on the Home and lock screens on your Android tablet. You can change and set the image on all Android tablets. Just choose between traditional or live (animated) types. Traditional wallpaper can be any image, such as a picture you’ve taken and stored in the Gallery app or an image provided by the manufacturer for wallpaper use.
To set new wallpaper for the Home or lock screen, follow these steps.
Long-press any empty part of the Home screen.
The empty part is any place you don’t see a shortcut icon or widget.
For a long-press, touch the screen and keep your finger down.
A Wallpaper menu will appear.
You might be able to set wallpaper from the Settings app.
Choose Display, then choose Wallpaper.
If prompted, choose the Home screen or the lock screen.
Setting the lock screen wallpaper is not possible on some tablets.
You may also find an option to set both wallpapers with the same image.
Choose a wallpaper type. Three options are available.
Gallery: A still image from the Gallery app.
Live: An animated or interactive wallpaper from a list. (This option may be available only for the Home screen wallpaper.
Wallpaper: Choose an image from the wide range preinstalled on the tablet.
How to Activate Your Android Tablet
The very, very first time you turn on your Android tablet, you’re required to work through the setup process. It’s a must, but it needs to be done only once.
The specifics of the setup-and-configuration process differ from tablet to tablet. For example, some tablets may prompt you to sign in to services like Dropbox. Tablets on certain cellular networks may require you to run specific setup apps, which you’ll read about during the configuration process. Generally speaking, however, the process is similar on all tablets.
It’s a good idea to read through these steps first, and then turning on the tablet and working through them afterward — the process goes kind of fast, and the screen may dim if you spend too much time waiting between steps:
Choose the wallpaper you want from the list.
For the Gallery option, browse the albums to choose an image. Crop the image to select the portion you want to put on the Home screen
Live wallpaper features some form of animation which can often be interactive. Otherwise, the wallpaper image scrolls slightly as you swipe from one Home screen page to another.
For certain live wallpapers, a Settings icon may appear so you can customize certain aspects of the interactive wallpaper.

After each choice, touch the Next button, or large triangle icon.
The Next button might appear on the screen, labeled with the text Next, or it might appear as a triangle button, shown in the margin.
After the initial setup, you’re taken to the Home screen.
