Help Recover Wallpaper Image?

[TrypWyr]

Okay, here's a fun one for you!

Last summer I went on a wonderful camping trip with my five-year-old, our first time out just the two of us. We went on nature hikes and climbed sand-dunes, and I got great pictures.

Then I proceeded to lose my microSD card.

I had one picture which I set as my lockscreen background and it's still there. I'd like to get the original image back, but I have no clue where it's held in the file structure/cloud. I could take a screen shot I guess, but it would have the clock and everything on it... not so good. Since this is the only remaining picture of that trip, I really want it back. Any thoughts?

TIA!

I'm not sure where it's saved but you can turn the clock, etc off in settings, lockscreen, lockscreen options

Save it as a screenshot. When viewing the picture just crop the notification bar out of the shot.

Hmm.. it must be saved somewhere on the phone.. hope someone knows where. Was the pic named?

Have you looked to see if it is saved in "/data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper"?

It could also be in "data/system/users/0/" depending on what version of Android you have. If all else fails, try this app called Wallpaper Saver. It looks to make backups of your current wallpaper and keeps a history of all future wallpaper changes for easy restoration: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.alroe.apps.WallpaperSaverFree

Good luck!

Oh my gosh, you saved my life. I lost my photos (all of the important ones were backed up except the one photo I decided to use for my background). That app worked!
