Live wallpapers come to the iPhone and iPod Touch
Share:
According to Redmond Pie, the installation process seems very straight-forward. User feedback seems positive, except for the obvious battery drain of constantly running video. The app does appear to be a little much for past iPhone models which run on half the flash memory of the iPhone 4.
Considering the mixed reports on the iPhone 4's battery life, inevitably gluttonous live wallpaper might not be the best idea. But we also believe it's about time the iPhone got a taste of this wallpaper eye-candy.
If you feel like installing vWallpaper on your iPhone, you simply need to add "http://i.danstaface.net/deb" as a source in Cydia, and then look for "vWallpaper" if you're running OS 4, or "vWallpaper for OS3", if you are still stuck with OS 3, obviously.

Funny thing this has been available on Cydia for years. At least since os 2.x that's when I jailbroken my first iPhone and found it.

You do not seem to be able to interact with these like on Android. They are just looped videos playing in the background. How is this considered a live wallpaper?

And the Android live wallpapers do nothing but slow down the phone. They are just eye candy and static wallpapers function better.

These are not living wallpapers, its just a video playing in the background of the phone. Android wins again

Well although it is definitely cool - because your screen is always covered with icons (unlike in Android where it is possible to have 7 totally blank screens) - it's not too useful anyway..

You don't know much about the iPhone then. You can have as many blank screens as you want with the iPhone. Kinda look foolish posting when you don't know what you are posting about.

So, you can't get unlimited data on the iPhone but you can get an unlimited amount of screens? Wow...

I know almost everything there is to know about the iPhone - what about you? I obviously meant to say that in Android you can have 7 blank screens on your phone - because you can access your applications from the drawer. On the iPhone - you don't. The icons on your screen are the only way to access various applications. So - you can't have an entirely blanc screen on the iPhone - at least because the core apps cannot be removed. Even if you tucked everything in 2 or 3 folders on screen - that's still not considered blank. And I can't imagine anyone who buys an iPhone and doesn't install additional apps on it. So how bout you think first, and post afterwards - and not vice versa - if you are able to do the former activity at all.

You cannot have a totally blank IOS device blank icons are still icons taking up space, it may appear blank but in reality it is not.
