Automatic Lock Screen Wallpaper

Post by jmckeejr » 03 May 2015 12:41

This is a slight modification to the Wallpaper changer to change only lock screen background from selected folder. Probably need to edit some links to point to your folder location and also select "I have checked the setting, I know what I'm doing" in the last part of flow. You can also select the time frame for the change.

This works great for me and was inspired by my Note 4's built in function. On my own device I've added 2 flows and 2 shortcuts that allow me to a) execute the flow whenever I don't like current wallpaper and b) disable/enable the flow when I want to stick with a certain paper for a while (pause and unpause).

Anyway here it is and this is my first time sharing a flow here.

And here is flow for pausing this flow when you like a certain wallpaper and want to keep it a while. You'll need to create shortcut for this. It will also change current paper when you unpause so by paying twice you can skip to next wallpaper.

Here's an updated version including a widget that a) shows current wallpaper and b) invokes the flow to change to next wallpaper. I wanted to be able to cycle thru the wallpapers if I didn't like the current one and not have to turn screen on/off to preview my paper.

I originally tried to use init variable system setting to update the widget but for some reason only get errors no matter how I do it. So now it updates the widget then changes the paper by reading the file path from widget.

Anyway here it is. And it might need altered for your specific needs/setup.

Not 100% sure but I think it is showing the last stored image and until flow runs again it does not update. Could add a trigger "automagic start up",or "boot" to counter this if you reset a lot.

Hi
It does not show the last stored image but only a specific image every time the phone is restarted...
