Set wallpaper and lock screen's background as two different photos?

Question

Current when I choose a photo to be set as wallpaper, my lock screen's background is automatically changed to be this new one.

I want the lockscreen to keep its old background, how can I do that?

ps.

I'm using Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

What version of Android are you using? Android 4.0.4 and above should let you change both separatelly.
Indeed I have googled and see other users can have the option to set so but on my phone, I cannot find that

	On Android 4.1.1 you can set a different wallpaper without 3rd party apps. – Peter Feb 27 at 9:00

This is what you need to do, supposing you're on a stock ROM:

Open your Gallery app.
Select the image you want to set as background.
Hit Menu and you should see an option Set as, click on it.
You should end with several options in which you can find Home screen, Lock screen and Home and lock screens.
Select the option you want to set your wallpaper to.

If you have a custom ROM, you should check the forums of that ROM to see if its supports this.

	Sorry Peter, on my phone, after selecting the image in Gallery, I only have options: 1-set as wallpaper, 2-set as contact. No option for lock screen indeed. – Nam G. VU Feb 27 at 17:52
	Do you have a stock ROM or are you using a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod for example)? – Peter Feb 28 at 8:31
	I use the original phone without making anything changed related to the ROM as you call it – Nam G. VU Feb 28 at 17:07
