PLEASE HELP! Need 4.2.1 Multitasking/Folder BG Fix??? (iPhone4)

[PoEtikly]

Hey everybody, like 4.1 you cannot change the multitasking/folder background (by downloading the change from Cydia and changing in Winterboard) without going into iFile or ifunbox, etc... and deleting some FolderSwitcherLinen files. Like 4.1, 4.2.1 has FolderSwitcherLinen files only there are 4 of them. FolderSwitcherLinen0, 1, 2, and 3 (4 different files) and I have tried deleting all of them and tried deleting them one by one, in combination, etc... and I cannot get them to work no matter what I do. I have googled this topic and I have come up with nothing. I have seen something on how to use custom backgrounds by downloading your own png's and stuff but nothing for the cydia installed multitasking and folder backgrounds, like Dark IOS4 or Blackline Multitasking or Digitized Multitask BG. Can anybody please post the fix for this. I know myself and many many others will be very grateful to have a fix for this issue. I'm close to going to back to 4.1 and rejailbreaking with greenpois0n (iPhone4), but I love the animated bootlogos you get with 4.2.1 greenpois0n RC5. Please Help All of Us Out!

try fswipecache from cydia

[PoEtikly]

what exactly do you mean? is this an app/program that i need to install and if it is what will i do with it?

[PoEtikly]

No this program did not work at all for any of the BG themes. Any other ideas?

[PoEtikly]

Actually I take that back, fswipecache works but only with the multitasking and folder extension BG but it doesn't change the folder when it is collapsed and just sitting on springboard. Any ideas? Maybe these themes are lacking certain files? I know they canbe changed iAluminum changes the folder icon and everything. This is so frustrating!!

try changing the name in ssh from "FolderIconBG" or on iphone 4 from "FolderIconBG@2x" and add "~iphone" to the end of it. no ""

I've never actually went in through ssh and I'm not sure how even. If you have a messenger or something I could meet up with you on or IRC I'd be truly grateful for your help and knowledge. If not it's understandable, but if you do feel free to PM me or something. I have went in and seen that all those files are there only without the ~iphone extension. Some full themes work like iAluminum so I guess I should see what files they have, save the 320x480 png's and save them into the directory or install the theme I want like dark ios4, save the png's to my desktop and save my own theme, there is a tutorial on YouTube for doing that, but I still want to learn how to fix this issue in whole.

if you would like i can try and make a youtube video on it.

[PoEtikly]

That would great!!! Yeah just post the link on here if you would please! That'll be great. Are u going to do it on just using ssh or the whole deal of how to add the deal with the multitasking/folder BG's?

[PoEtikly]

Have you found a fix yet? I'm getting anxious to fix this issue. I messed around in open ssh and copied the default iPhone folder icons, folderswitchers, etc... Files (12 in all) to pc so if I messed up I could add back and not have to restore, but I ended up having to restore because even after I messed around trying to take the BG's from other themes and couldn't get it to work I added back the defaults and I hit fswipecache and n e time I tried to open a folder the springboard crashed and I couldn't fix it, even through open ssh. So I'm back the beginning of 4.2.1 GP JB hoping u can help me.

[UltimateCydiaSource]

i know the fix just haven't had time yet. upload the theme here and i'll fix it.

[PoEtikly]

I found the fix. After looking at the default themes files, they all had ~iphone attached to them right before the extension (.png). Ive installed many BG themes and just add the ~iphone and they work after restringing and clearing the cache or folderSwitcherLinen files. Btw, I posted the fix on this forum.
