8 Unexpected Things You Can Do With The Motorola Razr Plus’s Cover Screen – SlashGear

The cover screen is the first thing you’ll see whenever you pull this phone from your pocket, and as such it has to be something attractive to look at. From the clock to the cover screen to the panels, Motorola lets you customize most aspects of the experience. Moto has ten different clocks to choose from which display when your phone is locked and dozens of custom wallpapers to choose from when you unlock the phone.

Of course, if you don’t want to use any of Motorola’s custom wallpapers, you can make your own by importing any image to use as a background instead. You can import a photo from your photo roll, or an image captured by a previous phone from Google Photos. You can also download images from the internet and use those if you want. But there are some limitations.

First, you can only have one custom photo in place, meaning you can’t have a photo of your kids and a photo of the beach in Hawaii saved and switch between them. Every time, you need to relocate the photo and set it. Also, you can’t use animated GIFs. If you try, you only get a static frame, which is a bummer. Both of these limitations are software limitations of course, so that may change in the future, but right now, those are the rules you have to play by.
