vWallpaper Jailbreak App



So you’ve got your Apple iPhone handset and you wish to make it more pretty, so you slap on a static wallpaper image to help stylise the staid image on the Apple iPhone’s sexy 3.5inch multi-touch display, but are you satisfied with just the usual static image?


If not then you will be happy to hear that it is now possible to use video as the Apple iPhone’s wallpaper, and this is achieved with the aid of yet another useful iPhone 3rs-party application. With vWallpaper, Apple iPhone owners can alter any properly sized .mov video file into animated wallpaper; the video is then splashed behind the home-screens icons.

You will need to jailbreak your iPhone handset first and add the “i.danstaface.net” app repository to your “Source” list. Once done and you’ve edited your movie to the preferred format, you will need to SSH into your iPhone and add the video to the correct directory.

• Connect to your local WiFi network.
• Find your iPhone’s IP address by navigating to Settings>WiFi and hitting the blue arrow next to your WiFi network.
• Fire up Cyberduck on your Mac or WinSCP on your Windows machine and log into “sftp://xxx.xxx.xx.x” with username “root” and password “alpine”
• Put videos into these directories:
o /Applications/vWallpaper.app/Library/Skrew/Videos
o /Library/Skrew/Videos

Some biggners asked question like this "What video format does vWallpaper is belonged to? They are .mov, .mp4, or Motion JPEG (M-JPEG)? Could I create a video of .mp4 like vWallpaper for my iphone 4 with video converter which offer edit option for users? What I want to say is can I use .mp4 video as wallpaper just like vWallpaper have done.”

"Okay, I've spent a couple hours trying to figure out what the heck is going on, and no matter where I search for an answer, I get the same stupid walkthrough that is completely wrong.

Tutorials tell me that if I am an iPhone 4 user (which I am) that I can use 640 x 960 resolution videos as vringtones/vwallpapers. Well, they're wrong. I've tried five videos so far, using several programs to convert them. (Mainly Adobe Premiere Pro.) When I select it for use, the phone acts like it doesn't have retina display. It makes the video look WAY too big for the screen. Basically, it looks as if I'm using a 640 x 960 video on a 3G, instead of an iPhone 4, because it cuts off 3/4 of the video.

What is going on, and what secret does the world know that I don't to make this work? All I want is my Metal Gear codec vringtone... Jeeze."

Got response like this "I use ifunia iPhone 4 Video Converter Mac, works best for me, but i too cannot get an up scaled videos to display right."
