im always changing my wallpapers on my phone, but since yesterday, i cant change the lockscreen wallpaper, it always follow the home screen no matter what i try, even when i look up lockscreen and home wallpaper option, it shows the wallpaper i chose, but when i lock and unlock my phone, lockscreen keeps the same as home screen,
i did several reboot, change themes, reset to default, even when i only change the home scrn the lock scrn follows, nothing works, im resourceless...help me please.

i just remembered, it did all of that after i have removed GO LAUNCHER EX.

Welcome to Android Central! This is most likely a limitation of the stock TouchWiz launcher. Not all launchers allow you to choose a separate lockscreen wallpaper.
 
I have no problem setting different pictures as home and lockscreen. Long press an empty space on the home screen, then on the upper left select lockscreen, browse to the image you want and press Set and Lockscreen

Are you still having an issue? If you change your wallpaper from the gallery app you should have an option to differentiate home screen and lock screen
