HD Video wallpaper for iPhone

Up till now I have not even considered having an animated wallpaper on my iPhone. I remember all my old Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones have those cool animated wallpaper features. As I got to find out from Redmond Pie, Android has built-in support for the animated wallpapers ever since version 2.1 of their OS. Well, iPhone fanboys, no need to envy as there is now a solution for you too so that you can show off your iPhone 4 on the retina display with an animated wallpaper. Behold the vWallpaper jailbreak app. Yes you heard me right, you would first have to have a jailbroken iPhone. For the rest of the story, follow this link to Redmond Pie on how to install it.

Why I think the iPhone iOS4.01 firmware sucks

Recently the official Jailbreak for iPhone iOS4 (firmware 4.0 and 4.01) has been released (go to http://jailbreakme.com) and I decided that it was time I upgraded by iOS 3.1.2 firmware on my iPhone 3Gs. Prior to upgrading, my phone's specs were these:

  • iOS 3.1.2 (iPhone 3Gs with old bootroom)
  • Jailbroken with Blackra!n. 
  • Installed Cydia software that make my iPhone Springboard more simple to use:
    • SBSettings
    • Winterboard
    • Lockinfo (with Twitter and Lock Weather plugins)
    • Backgrounder
    • Circuitous
    • Five Column Springboard
    • Five Icon dock
    • Infinidock
    • Pogoplank
    • OpenSSH
    • BiteSMS
    • AppSync 3.1
    • Activator
    • Multiiconmover
