The answer

The matter is one of two scenarios:

1. Taking a picture with a mobile phone and setting it as a wallpaper: There is no harm in this, as mobile phone pictures are less problematic than photographic ones, and their permissibility is apparent. 2. Drawing a picture and then putting it on the phone: This is based on the differing opinions regarding cartoon images, and it has been previously stated that drawing them is forbidden unless there is a recognized benefit. It is preferable to use drawings of natural scenes that do not include animate beings.
