Any changes from version 0.99 to 1.0?

That’s really remarkable.

Amazingly simple, and it works with beauty. Great icons, organization, and what not. Really surprised how well done this is.

Two things:

1) There seems to be a bug for me in changing the transition interval. I cannot change it to MINUTES instead of SECONDS. I change it, but it when I close BossPaper (and/or even respring as well), my wallpaper still changes after x SECONDS instead of MINUTES. (And opening up BossPaper, it still says SECONDS.) Same case with HOURS. I’m sure this is a little bug you probably know about. :)

2) PLEASE PLEASE add ICON COLOR as a feature in an update. The only thing I used in winterboard was “User Wallpaper” and it made the text white. With most of my type of pictures, a bright White is best. I would really like to just get rid of Winterboard (which I already just have done), but the icon color feature would be AWESOME.

Thanks Big Boss. Really well done.

how can i select images from the photos apps? (where all my pictures are stored)

thanks

Hey:

I have my usual springboard images in a folder on my laptop that I sync with iTunes and my iPhone. What folder do I have to search for through Bosspaper to find it?

Thanks in advance,
Rajiv Varma

It doesn’t show the photo folder that you sync with iTunes. It only shows the Camera Roll folder.

Okay thanks. That worked.

However, I am having a weird ‘bug’ right now. All I did was install bosspaper and uninstall winterboard, but this bug didn’t ocurr until just a few minutes ago. My iPhone 3GS is about twice as fast.

I can’t believe it. Just when you thought the iPhone 3GS could load games faster than the old one, mine is doing it almost twice as fast as before. It’s very weird. Now my games are too fast too. I was playing NFL 2010, then all of a sudden when I started a new game, everything is now really fast. Everything is like too fast. My safari now opens faster than anything I’ve seen before, which is all nice and stuff, but my games are too fast. Let’s just say minigore is now TOO intense.

I’ll reboot and see if that fixes it.

Installed and working Great Job BigBoss.

I want to SSH my own wallpaper is it only .png files or will it see .jpg files as well, also do they need to be in seperate folders or all in one.

Thanks,

Kev….

You didnt select any image(s) did you?

It is hard to see. But you can move your finger down without lifting it and move the slider left / right while seeing it.

i am having trouble finding out how to use a dock image in bosspaper…

How can I navigate to the folders in my
photo app? I don’t get all the ways to navigate like say mobile finder or ishare. Thanks man.

Is it only me or does the springboard icon sit lower than all the others

Definitely just you, the icon wouldn’t sit lower even if it weren’t standart size

Noticed that the youtube videos load 2x as fast as well; this is absolutly FANTASTIC!!!

If you have winterboard installed, it applies it as a winterboard theme. If not, it does a direct file copy.

BB, This is a great gift for us, thank you so much for making an excellent customization software.

Solid Colors Only – FTW!!! :)

Works great except I can’t figure out how to use iPhoto synced images!

Nice work! Looking forward to trying it out.

Great app!!! Keep up the amazing work. I have noticed on my 1st Gen iPhone that things load twice as fast!! However, I don’t know of it’s just me but it seems that my battery dies even faster than on JavaScript rotations. Please look into this because this is the best wallpaper app ever!!!!!!

Great job as others have said. I saw a small UI bug on my 3G. In the folder/image add/remove sections if you highlight a list item so it is blue, then click the ADD/REM button, the button disappears. It is still clickable and makes the change (it even flashes briefly when clicked), but disappears until you exit and re-enter the UI page.

Keep up the great work!

Same problem with me. Can’t seem to find the folder.

Does boss paper put all the images you select in a particular folder??? or does it just store the links. i selected a bunch of images from various themes and i was wondering if i can just see them all in one spot to copy the folder out for when i restore the phone.

iTunes sync’d photo folders are not currently supported (they are sqlite databases). Only the Camera Roll (also an sqlite db) is supported right now.

how can i place pictures into the above mentioned folder?

I’d still happily try this instead of Winterboard if it worked on 2.2.

:)

nevermind i found it…thanks

Is there any chance to implement an android-style wallpaper transition? I mean wallpaper splitted to many parts, moving when you switch screens ;>

I did that when I released 1.0

Great app, thx ! I was especially waiting for the one picture option. But i’m having trouble selecting it on the list. The Add/Remove button works randomly, especially when I have previewed a picture. Did anyone notice that ? Once it is selected, it works fine. Just email me if you need details.
Thanks again !

Can you change the color of the icon labels?

it only works with my camera-roll folder, or it should show my midia images ?!(the ones i sync with my computer folder)because it doesn’t shows that, so a had to creat a folder using iPhoneBrowser and put my images there to use as wallpapers…

sorry for my poor english, hope you understand my doubt…

See comment #8 and replies.

Ok this may be me not looking properly and sorry if this has already been asked, but how do you switch between haveing a fixed wallpaper or having them rotating, is there a button or toggle switch somewhere.

Thanks, Kev…

Hello!really great job ! sorry if I ask something stupid , but how to install winterboard themes (and event rotate them ?) after winterboard desinstallation?Sorry for my bad english I’m a french Iphone user.

ok thanks !!

so for the ones who have the same doubt as me, i give this tip:
using iPhoneBrowser go to var/mobile/media and creat a folder “BossPaper” there,then put all images there and you will be able to find the images on BossPaper app on browsefolders/media/BossPaper*

hope everybody understand the tip…

the app is awesome !!!

sorry…320 X 480

Any idea on how long till supporting Iphoto imported albums instead of just camera roll? Without SSHing? Love it anyways but would like to see more BossPaper Folders besides the landscape one I love

Please make something like this for the lockscreen. I really like bosspaper and would like to have a different set of rotating images on my lockscreen. Please consider it. Thanks

Grat work! Since I removed Winterboard my 2Gs Battery is still full in the evening where it was empty with WB. D’ont use different Pics cause of performance. Anyone has the same positive effect?

Thanks for this great app!

I am also looking to have a separate set of images rotate for the lock screen. Other than that, this works perfectly. Thanks.

BigBoss has done it agian! Thx from England!

@BigBoss

On my 3G, during a transition, the frame rate of winterboard goes right down. After a ‘fade’ transition, springboard speeds back up to normal again. However, during and after ANY other transition, the frame rate remains really low. Almost like the transition never finishes. I’ve removed winterboard to see of this problem goes away but it does not. I’ve tried everything but can’t stop this from happening.

This is not a complaint it’s a bug report :) I love this app and can’t thank you enough for it.

For dear life why are you not on 3.0 you should be ashame of yourself! Not but seriously you are missing so many features 3.0 offers and it takes you 10 min to jailbreak and upgrade

Hi there,

Thanks for all your hard work. I’m having trouble. Most likely me. I have 5 columns/rows/dock and winterboard just feeding separate pictures for each springboard page. I’m not using any of the winterboard themes. When I installed BP1.0 (I had .95) all hell broke loose. I would loose the docks icons. The status bar would disappear until I hit the sleep button (say that would be neat to be able to make the status bar go away when you wanted it to). I’m still (even after uninstalling BP, having trouble with my lock screen picture not always being there.

So, does that mean to use BP I now have to uninstall Winterboard? Is BP compatible with 5 columns/rows/dock? Can I still get a lock screen picture to work.

I’m not “that” interested in having rotating pictures but having pictures for each SB page.

Even after uninstalling BP, it shows up in the Winterboard control screen as an option.

I’d like to use BP, what should I do first to fix it?

Thanks (forever a newb I guess)

Dose anyone know if there is an app the you can get that’s like lime wire

Hi there,

This looks like a bug:
I use change on app close and change on timer (1 Minute). Sometimes when I unlock bosspaper gives me 2 transitions in a row. I see the “old” pic, tansitioning to a new one and directly again to another new one. It’s unlikely that I just lock at 59 seconds and then have the transition on app close and on timer just after unlocking because it always happens directly in sucession (2 transitions, without delay, meaning would I always lock at 59 seconds, never 58 or 57…) and it happens too often.

Great app – I love it.

Just go to pictures stored inphotos and press home key and power simultaniously and it copies to camera roll

Could we have video wallpaper as well plizzz!

I have a 2G iPod touch 3.0 firmware, and after I installed BossPaper, my lockscreen wallpaper no longer shows. It’s just black. I tried setting a new one but it doesn’t work. Ideas?

Can you make it support gifs?

Request: ability to specify keep aspect ratio of the image vs alwasys stretching/squeezing it to fit screen. Great app!

How is the random function working? I watched the phone for about 5 minutes and during that time two pictures showed two times. And that is the way it feels too, like some pictures shows often and some almost never.
Wouldn’t it be possible to make a random list with all pictures and when a picture is shown it is removed from the list. And then when the list is empty it will again be randomized and filled with all pictures? That way you would get all pictures once before the appear again.

I have BP installed on 3gs with fw 3.0 and it works perfectly
also I selected 3 transitions instead of 1 and works great.
I thought I’d mention that coz I haven’t seen a comment
like that, so ppl u can use multiple transitions. I have not
tried random. Much thanks BB for the wonderful software,
coming from Canada.

I don’t know how the solid colors work so I have it on and it shows the color I picked, so is that what it does?

I would really like if the option can be added to change/rotate the SMS background.

I have a iPhone 2G (8GB) running on firmware 3.0.
I listen to music when at work, and I noticed that when I have BossPaper installed at the end of the (work) day, I have about half battery life left.
Yesterday I just uninstalled BossPaper, and today I still have almost full battery life! (the batterybar is full)

Also (a side note) when I had asBattery installed it drains the battery from 100% to 95% during the night!

So maybe it just the 2G that doesnt work well with these apps

You can do that manually by adding pngs to your theme called page0.png, page1.png, etc…

Are you sure you’re speaking of BossPaper ?
I know this feature in Winterboard but I would like to get ride of it. I just want BossPaper !!!

Does any one know if I can download this on my iPhone useing just my iPhone?

Hi BiggBoss ans thanks for a truly sweet app, this finally allowed e to uninstall Winterboard!

A few quick comments on v1.0

1) Is there anyway to convince you to change the Add/Rem button in to a standard “option switcher” /radio button or whatever it’s called? The Add/rem button is really small and difficult to hit correctly and I typically tend to open the image for preview rather than Add/remove it!

2) I know I should prolly disable “Transitions on app close” but when an app closes it typically takes a few screen swipes/taps to get the Iphone to react again…

3) Pressing “Dock Images” and changingg dock appearance does nothing. I have tried re-installing BossPaper but to no avail. Do you store an error log somewhere which I could take a peak on? =)

Iphone 3G 16B on OS 3.0

Again, thank you for your contribution to the community!

How can I set up BossPaper to show a background based on the time of the day? I’d like to have one a night and another by day, and theoretically I could just set it to transition every 12 hrs, but everytime I respring or reboot bosspaper starts out of sequence. I’d much rather bosspaper checks the time and picks the wall paper I want (and I can set the intervals to check the time instead of the intervals to transition…)

I agree with iamse7en with the text/font color. Bright white works best (maybe with a slight shadow) else it will get washed out with most backgrounds. Better yet, create an option to set the color.

I would love to use this but I can’t see my app text! So I’m forced to use Winterboard (and recharge my battery every 2 hrs). :-(

SK

You’ve got to be kidding me! Such an awesome app as BossPaper with the huge advantage over winterboard and not having the capability to MAKE THE TEXT WHITE??? WTF!!! All wallpapers make the text dim in standard gray color, I have over 8 springboards, I don’t recall all of them by icons, I’m squinting my eyes to read the text when wallpaper is on. Please add this feature! Thanks!

Great app! I’m going to hold off using till iTunes synced folders are alllowed though
