Esper customers have more control over device settings and appearance with the DevRel 46 release. Now, you can change provisioned Android device wallpaper and further configure which device settings you expose to end users.
Here’s a quick look at what’s new in DevRel 46:
- Added ability to change provisioned device wallpaper
- Device IMEIs now included in reports
- Added 3 new configurations for custom device settings
1] Change Provisioned Android Device Wallpaper
Users are now able to change the home screen wallpaper on a single provisioned device or device group.This functionality also extends to lock screen wallpaper.
Also, the ability to set lock screen wallpaper for a device or group is now part of the EsperAndroid provisioning template.

2] Android Device IMEIs Added to Reports
Previously, Esper’s reporting options only included device serial numbers. Now, IMEIs have been added to reports as another means to identify and track devices.

3] New Setting Configurations
Finally, we’ve added some new configuration capabilities to the custom Esper settings app. Now, admins can choose to let end users access the following device settings:
- Screen brightness
- Rotation
- Screen timeout
Admins can choose to provide end-user access to one or more of these settings from the provisioning template. But, keep in mind that keyboard and accessibility settings are only available on devices running Android 8 or below.
