Where does the 'set as wallpaper' feature save your picture in Gingerbread (2.3)?

Question

I had an image from a website which I set as my background inside the browser. I am wondering now where I can find the image in the file system, because I can't find it online anymore. I already checked all the obvious folders including Downloads, but did not find it there. In fact there is an answer for a similar question on this forum, but that is for Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) and I am on Gingerbread, which is why that answer did not help me.

Answer 1

I have just developed an app that can save your current wallpaper to SD, share it, ect. Furthermore it automatically saves a copy of each wallpaper you set, so you will get a history of all the wallpapers you have been using. My app is called Wallpaper Saver, can be downloaded from Google Play and is Free! Download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.alroe.apps.WallpaperSaverFree
