Change lock screen wallpaper?

[kssxs]

I've written a task to change my home screen wallpaper at various intervals (which I find get messed up since the phone goes into deep sleep, suspending my loop :/ ), but is there a way to change the lock screen wallpaper as well?  I haven't been able to find any mention of that being possible anywhere.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I don't think you can change the lock screen wallpaper but I wouldn't use a loop to change your wallpaper.  I would use a profile that is triggered based on day/time.

Actually, I do that so that I have some variation on my wallpaper at random intervals.  Can do that with a set schedule based on time of day ;) .

*Can't* do that, that is.

I am not sure I understand. 

 

Are you saying you cannot create a profile with a set schedule based on time of day, day of week, etc?  If so that is possible. 

 

If you are saying you cannot create a random interval, that is a little more complicated but can be accomplished.  First create a task that changes your wallpaper, generates a random time in the future by adding a random variable to %TIMES and saves it in a global variable say (%TIME2CHANGE).  Create a profile that runs every hour (or other interval).  When this profile runs, check if %TIMES > %TIME2CHANGE.  If it is then run the change wallpaper task again.  Otherwise end without doing anything.

 

Maybe I am missing something.

Hehe, yes, sorry, my fault for causing the confusion.  I already have a random time generator for changing my wallpaper, and it's working fine :) .

I still want to find something that can change the lock screen wallpaper, though.  Tasker doesn't seem to be able to do it.  It would be nice to find something that I can input an Intent to, to change the lock screen.

You might be able to do it by renaming files in a system folder.  Here are two links that show how to do this.  Never tried myself.

Yeah, it'll probably be better for me to wait for an app to support doing it.

Thanks for the links though!
