Hi everyone

does anyone know how to change the lock screen background image and wallpaper on Samsung TAB A's ?

i know there are no settings in soti to do this so i've been trying to do it with scripts and file sync

using file sync to copy the jpg to the device, then running this script: set_wallpaper %sdcard%\wallpaper1.jpg

works on android 9 & 10 devices but not on android 11

file copies ok on android 11 but the script does nothing

any help would be greatly appreciated

"set_wallpaper" script command is only for home screen after the device has been unlocked.

For lockscreen wallpaper,  I think you can try 

    writesecureprofstring LockscreenOverlay WallpaperPath "%sdcard%/wallpaper1.jpg"
    apply LockscreenOverlay

Hello Shaw,

I would like to follow up on this post and ask if you had a chance to try script suggested by Raymond?

The provided script might not work on all types of devices as OS versions differ.

However, in MobiControl version 15.5, there is a possibility to add wallpaper for your home screen and your lockscreen. You can do so by navigating to Profiles -> New Profile -> Wallpaper.
I tested and it worked perfectly on my Android 9 device. Attaching screenshot of the Profile.

Please kindly let us know if helps to resolve your issue.
