I'm trying to set up a Tasker widget to switch between a static wallpaper and a live wallpaper.

I have no problem with coming up with the action for the static wallpaper, but I am unable to change my wallpaper for the live wallpaper. Hope someone with experience could help me out here.

I am using the latest version of Tasker and the live wallpaper I wish to set up is Koi Live Wallpaper running on a rooted 4.3 stock rom Samsung S3.

Thank you in advance.

To set a LW the only thing needed is a task with an action of shell command and this command in the command text box:

service call wallpaper 2 i32 1 s16 "com.maxelus.poweroflifelivewallpaper" s16 "com.maxelus.poweroflifelivewallpaper.WallpaperService"

The first argument is the package of the LW, then the other one is the service.

For example, the shell command for AudioGlow is:

This command sets live wallpaper:

service call wallpaper 2 i32 1 s16 "[package name]" s16 "[class name]"

This command allows to get name of active live wallpaper:

service call wallpaper 4

And this command disables it:

service call wallpaper 5

  • Hi thanks for the response. So far, I've only manages to get the package name but not the service name. It's there a way to get it?

  • I would suggest you to use Rom Toolbox Lite as its very popular and very useful too. In it, Go to App Manger --> Click the App (AudioGlow) --> and choose Advance Freeze. Here you can see all the Activity name and service below it.
