While custom Wallpapers are not supported on an iPhone 3G, it is possible to add custom made Wallpaper to a jailbroken iPhone 3G running iOS 4. Here's how.
Following are the requirements (achieving some of the individual requirements is beyond the scope of this hint but can be easily be found on the Internet).
Name the .png file 127.png (or if you have multiple files name them 128.png, 129.png etc.). And make a copy of the file named 127.thumbnail.png, and then copy both files to the iPhone into this directory: /Library/Wallpaper/iPhone/. You can experiment with making the thumbnail images smaller if you prefer.
That's it ...
Following are the requirements (achieving some of the individual requirements is beyond the scope of this hint but can be easily be found on the Internet).
- An iPhone 3G running iOS 4 WITH jailbreak
- Wallpapers activated during the jailbreak process
- Some way of copying files to the iPhone (I used ssh access)
- A .png file with a resolution of 480 * 320 pixels (Preview can convert .jpg files to .png)
Name the .png file 127.png (or if you have multiple files name them 128.png, 129.png etc.).
