GREAT app! Even though it desperately needs just some finishing touches...
For all of you who have NOT gotten it to work: it is probably related to also having the Ringtones.app installed. Explanation:
both apps need to have a file called "RingtonesHook.dylib" in the /Library/RingtonesApp directory, and copy it on install from their own directory. However, the files are different. The file size of the version that vWallpaper.app uses is 41.996 bytes, whereas the version used by Ringtones.app is only 21.364 bytes. Problems arise, for example, when Ringtones is installed after vWallpaper. In this case, remove or rename the smaller one (use WinSCP or similar), and copy the larger one from /Applications/vWallpaper.app into /Library/RingtonesApp and the the video wallpaper will work.
To do so, type (in a terminal, remotely - I'm using WinSCP again - or on the iphone itself):
Quote:
cd /Library/RingtonesApp
cp RingtonesHook.dylib RingtonesHook.dylib_BACKUP
cd /Applications/vWallpaper.app
cp -f RingtonesHook.dylib /Library/RingtonesApp/
|
And to be sure, set permissions correctly:
Quote:
cd /Library/RingtonesApp
chmod 0755 RingtonesHook.dylib
|
Reboot.
Skrew should make sure that this conflict between Ringtones.app and vWallpaper.app is resolved. Less advanced iphone hackers should not run into these problems...
PS: a tip for anyone in need of that great video wallpaper: check out
Blender for a nice free open source 3D animation program, you can make great 3D animated videos in exactly 320x480 easily with it.
And just another tip: conversion of video's can easily be done with QuickTime Player, use File > Export for Web, and use the iPhone format.
