I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this update (ok, I really wasn’t that impatient Sean but, you did tell me you would look into it!). However, all I was expecting with version 2.0 of Wallpaper was a fix so the app would work with firmware lower than 1.1.3 (the last update, version 1.6, made it compatible with only 1.1.3 and above) instead I was greeted with some very cool new changes! The first change I noticed was a new icon…which totally threw me off, I was like…where in the world did the Wallpaper app go!! I seriously looked for it for like five minutes…then I had Doug look! But, I like the new icon!

The initial pop-up when you open the app has changed and now allows you to view the Wallpapers without sharing your Wallpaper! When you tap on a Wallpaper you would like to keep…you will see a few new options. You can set the Wallpaper as your Wallpaper (like before) but now you can add the wallpaper to a gallery, View Gallery and Flag a wallpaper. I love these new options. When you select Add To Gallery it keeps that wallpaper in a Gallery that you can then go back into by selecting View Gallery. In the Gallery you will get a thumbnail of all the Wallpapers you have added to the Gallery. You can then select a Wallpaper out of there and set it as your the Wallpaper on your iPhone. So, it is like a little storage area for all the Wallpapers you like!

The flagging option is pretty cool too. Flagging a wallpaper marks it as inappropriate and when you flag a wallpaper it actually makes the screen go black until it loads the next wallpaper. Even though you can no longer save the wallpaper to your Camera Roll…you can still get it off your iPhone if you would like. The wallpapers are located in the var/root/Library/Wallpaper folder for 1.1.3 and below and in the var/mobile/Library/Wallpaper folder for 1.1.3 and above. Wallpaper is available through the iApp-a-Day source. Below are the screenshots.
