I am searching for the wallpapers on my device running v1.17s and do not find it.
I do find some files including wallpaper in their name, but they are all empty? Show hidden files is enabled.
Also everything with launcher or background in the name…
Oddly when I search for wallpaper in the (e stock) file manager it doesnt find anything unfortunately. so maybe theres another topic to be found here as well…
Please help me!
Thank you @AnotherElk !
So no chance to get them on a non-rooted device it seems!
Which is crazy for me, why is that so?
Strange I didnt this other thread, which is much more actual…
On /e/OS you can use Rooted debugging to access system directories.
This is not rooting the device, this only enables root for ADB in connection with a computer.
Thank you @AnotherElk
I was just going to try but found that I dont have the root adb otpion in my develper options on my Xperia Z5 Compact suzuran running v1.17r (Android 11).
So it gives me time to ask: can I make some critical damage to the OS or phone via adb root?
The setting itself is called “Rooted debugging”, this isn’t there?.
If enabled, and if you use ADB to access the phone from a computer, this would give you the possibility to run the adb root command on the computer side, to then have access to all storage via ADB commands.
What do you mean that it’s in “/system/app/” ? I don’t see it mentioned on the XDA thread.
All I see there is folders of APK files.
What I know is of a general solution, to set the wallpaper and then perform a backup of it.
In the past it was possible using “Get my wallpaper” app, but it’s not available anymore for many devices as it wasn’t updated, so I’ve created an app for it myself, which can backup other things:
Yes. All the walls were in /res/drawable-nodpi-v4/.
I still have the apk but no idea how things are done today; I don’t really get involved with those sort of investigations anymore. I don’t have /e/ on any device.
