Hi! I've jailbroken and modified my old 3G to run multitasking and wallpapers. Now I want to DISABLE wallpaper and have a nice clean black background. How do you do it without resorting to modifying plist? Search returns nothing.
I don't use winterboard. I use jailbroken and plist-modified iOS 4 on 3G. Solid black wallpaper doesn't make away the sluggishness and I find it strange you cannot actually DISABLE the wallpaper. I have turned wallpaper off in plist again.
I'm honestly kind of surprised that having wallpapers seems to effect it this much. Maybe it's the icon and dock shading that also effects memory consumption. Although, backgrounds without that are much more difficult to manage.
1) Open the camera app on the iPhone
2) Put the lens right up against your hand and snap a photo
3) Got to camera roll and set as wallpaper
That's actually quite sad that it has to come to that option to not have a wallpaper and stick to the utilitarian pre-iOS black background, non JB'd of course. Still a good idea that I didn't think of...

Go figure, people kvetch for years that we can't have wallpapers, and then when we get them, people complain we can't *not* have wallpapers. Ha.
You see, that's the funny thing about people. They all want different things. That's why there's something called options. They need to implement them. Like they don't even give us 3Gers a chance at the wallpaper, we have to jailbreak to get it. Sure, it slows down the phone a little bit, but some people can deal with that. And if they can't, there should be a "disable" button. How hard is that, really? But I guess that'd look bad to have one of their phones not running perfect, even if it was at the user's discretion.
