Current Wallpaper location - Android

slipd · 17 Jul 2016 at 18:00

Hi guys,

Just about to flatten my Z1 Compact but before I do Im trying to find my current used home screen and lock screen wallpapers... any ideas? I can't find them anywhere using conventional methods, using file explorers etc.

They are only internet pics that I set as desktop but I'd be unlikely to find them again

Thanks.

If you did not download them as a file mate I don't think you can, I might be wrong, you could always try saving a back up to sync droid but then again I think that only saves your photos.

The internet says:

For Android 4.0 and below:
Once in /, go to /data/data/com.android.settings/files.
For Android 4.1 and above:
Once in/, go to /data/system/users/0/.

or take everything off your desktop, take a picture of the desktop then google image search

For the wall paper on the home screen you could use Nova launcher, set the notification area to hidden, and hide the bottom tray then do a screen shot to save it.

Or screen shot them, and post here if they are safe

and see if OCUK can find them.
