Custom Wallpaper for iPod Touch

If you want to to use a custom wallpaper on your Jail Broken iPod Touch, there are a few ways to do it. I will show you what tools I used to make a custom wallpaper made from my own photos. This is the end result, below I will give you the steps.




The tools that you will need are:
  • PhotoBoard - A multitouch photo browser available for install through the installer.app as a part of the Ste Packaging Source.
  • Capture - A screenshot capture utility available for install through the installer.app only after you install the Big Boss's Apps and Things Source - http://sleepers.net/iphonerepo
  • TouchRoll - Adds a camera roll link within your photos application; available for install through the installer.app only after you add the iSpazio Official Source - http://repo.ispazio.net/
Steps:
  1. Add all three applications.
  2. Open the Capture application and click the "Launch Capture" button. The program will exit but keep a movable pad available with two choices "Snap" and "Exit".
  3. Navigate to and open the PhotoBoard application. Arrange the photos the way you want and click the "Snap" button. I recommend rearranging the photos a couple of ways and snapping shots of these before you exit the PhotoBoard application. Once you exit PhotoBoard, all of your work will be erased. Also, you can not remove a picture once you add it to the board, so be careful before selecting a picture.
  4. Press the "Exit" button to exit the Capture program.
  5. Launch the Photo application and select the "Camera Roll" link.
  6. Select the picture you created with PhotoBoard. Click on the picture to bring up the links on the bottom of the screen. Click the curved arrow on the bottom left and then select "Use As Wallpaper".

There you go.
