[Q] app that launches with an image already loaded by default

As the title states, does anyone know of an app that I can launch and load a specific image file without having to navigate to or choose a file every time? Or maybe a script (dunno if you can put a script in a slider shortcut though)
I have my contact info in a QR code and I want to be able to display it from a lockscreen slider shortcut quickly. I want to choose the shortcut and have the QR code display on-screen without further user intervention.
This is the best way I could think to do it, without requiring multiple touches after selecting the unlock shortcut.
Please don't ask me to code it myself, I'm not a dev.
thx in advance.

[Solved] Cant disable lockscreen

I've downloaded a lockscreen app called dodol lock and in settings disabled the default locker and yet it appears every time I unlock the device using the dodol one.. after I Swype to unlock and then insert the pin then the HTC's lock appears.. any ideas?
Edit: if anyone is interested I just solved it using the app "No lock"

Hmmmz do you have root access?
If have you can try add .bak on the htc lock screen apk
using an file explorer.

Magazine pictures

Hey guys,
do you know if there is a possibility to add my own pictures to the magazine? If not, is there any app in which is that possible?

On my phone I use tasker to change my wallpaper every hour (if the screen is off). In settings>display>wallpaper you can select to have your lock screen wallpaper the same as your home wallpaper. Now, when tasker changes my home screen wallpaper, they both change. I don't know how else to get magazine wallpapers to randomly select from my own pictures.
Edit. I'm stupid, there are wallpaper changing apps so you don't need to use tasker, then use the setting option I mentioned. Ofc, these methods will change all your wallpapers, not just the magazine wallpaper :/

Just checked on my phone and there is a MagazineUnlock folder, have you tried just deleting and putting your own pictures in that folder?

Thank you, at least something

I copied some of my own pictures into the MagazineUnlock folder and they display perfectly on the lock screen.
Go into Wallpaper settings and at the bottom there is "album to display" you can check that MagazineUnlock is ticked or even choose another folder if you have another location you want to use.

Thank you, "Random change" was unchecked in my device so i was unable to see "Interval" and "Album to display" options. Now it works, thanks again ?

Restricting app access to folders - how?

How can I restrict an app to NOT be able to access a specific folder ( not in /Android) ?
A messaging app always scans my internal storage and makes its image picker almost unusable because another app is storing many image assets in plain image format, and these images pop up to the top of the image picker.
I want to hide these from my proper album photos while using the image picker so I want to not allow the messaging app to access a specific folder. Is there a way to do this via adb or in an app?
A quick google search didn't have much luck, maybe I searched the wrong phrases? I guess it's the latter, but please give me some guidance.
Android 9, not rooted, no bl unlock

Go to the folder you want to hide and rename it with a period in front of the name to make it a hidden folder. Example: ".Pictures"
Set photo app to ignore hidden files.
Or ditch the trouble app...

Though the app which actually makes use of the folder won't work.. I could've made a toggle to add/remove the dot in the folder name and just use that toggle between using image picker and said app.
