We all love to take photos and upload them in different sites. There is a wide array of applications that are meant for photos. Is it lovely to look at photos that seems alive as an accessory to your phone?
Not so long ago, we published a post about a jailbreak app called DeepEnd. This app gives the iPhone’s homescreen a cool 3D-like effect by moving the iPhone’s wallpaper based on its orientation. One of our readers commented that the app could be more impressive if the wallpaper has a live feed from iPhone’s camera rather than a static wallpaper.
Well, it seems that the developer of the jailbreak app with the handle limneomaster liked the idea. Limneomaster revealed plans to release a new jailbreak app called CameraWallpaper. This new app allows users to replace the static wallpaper with live feed from iPhone’s camera.
Users can also take photos right away even without launching the Camera app and set the photo as wallpaper via Activator enabled menu. iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G users will also be able to switch between front and rear cameras. iPhone 4 users will also be able to enable the torch from the menu.
It needs to be seen how the jailbreak tweak affects iPhone’s battery life, etc. The developer hasn’t provided an ETA on when it will be released or how much it will cost or if it will be available for free. As always, we’ll let you know as soon as it is available on the Cydia App Store.

Aaron Ash brought you Multiflow, which is a popular jailbreak application that has a Palm Pre Expose-like multitasking to iOS last November 2009. He released the application even before Apple revealed the multitasking feature in iOS 4. He also released the revamed version of his application that is compatible to iOS 4 as well as the latest version of the Multiflow (v2.1).
The latest version of Multiflow 2.1 brings back the WebOS Cards-style multitasking interface to the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Multiflow is an application switcher for handsets that are already jailbroken, which is a lot better than the default app switcher. You can close the applications running in the background by either clicking on the X button or flicking the app snapshot up or pulling it down.
The latest version of Multiflow 2.1 for iOS 4 comes with the following features:
- It can show up to 9 applications in the same screen for convenient task switching and much easier than Apple’s
- The applications can be dragged and dropped when you rearrange them.
- Multiflow can work alongside or totally replace Apple’s default task switcher by going to Settings –> Multifl0w –> Activation Methods –> Home Button – tap on Double Press
- It is also compatible on iOS 3.1.X (but you need to install the free Backgrounder jailbreak app).
You can also choose between Expose and Cards interface by going to the Settings app (Multifl0w –> Switcher Style –> Exposé or Cards). If you want to use the default app switcher with Multifl0w then you need to set Multifl0w’s activation method to something other than Double-Press Home. Multiflow is available for a small price of $4.99 on Cydia App Store.
