Hey everyone,
This is probably an easy question, but I have just gotten my iphone, and I was wondering if there is a chance that I can have a picture on the screen where the icons are, when the phone is not being used. I am looking for something besides the black background that the icons are on. I hope some one may have the answer to this.
Thank you.

You sure can, but it requires a jailbreaking. Might be more than you want to get into but if you do, here's how:

Ok there freakydeaky, I have loaded the program that you have given me. I appreciate the help, but I must once again ask for your expertise, and guidance.......now what? Please think of me as a confused individual that needs very precise directions. In all seriusness, if you can help me from here, it would be very helpful. The winpwm program has been loaded and there is a shortcut on my desk top. I am using windows vista. I am not really retarded, (even though I probably come across as such), My goal is to have some nice icons, and nice backgrounds / wallpaper on the iphone. Thank you in advance as any help would be greatly appreciated,
Brian.

Did you jailbreak it with wnpwm? If not yet, then plug in your phone and launch the program. I've never used that one before, I used ziphone. I'm not sure what it looks like. But it should give you the option to jailbreak somewhere in there.

I think you should definately just use Ziphone if your confused because Winpwn has alot more steps with ziphone all you do is restore your phone/set up as new/ run ziphone/ press jailbreak

Add Fight Club to your source list and install Blank App from the Fight Club category. This will create a blank icon on your home screen. Press on one of the blank spaces on your home screen until the icons begin jiggling. You can then drag the unwanted icons to a blank screen.

If you just want to hide your icons, consider installing the dock application and Poof. Poof makes your icons invisible, while the dock application gives you a Leopard-like stack of your icons for navigation.

Thank you, but why?, and last but not least how, and then what...like I said I know that I resemble a rider of short school buses, but I assure you that I am not .....lol, I would just like to have a picture showing all of the time, instead of the insiious black screen that has the icons on it. Please get me out of this black screen hell..........

Ok this is really pretty easy Condor. Black screen of hell will soon be gone.

Just get ziphone, install it, and jailbreak your phone. Then when you see the installer icon on your iphone screen click on it. When that opens up click on the install button at the bottom. Go to "all packages" and scroll down till you find the summerboard application. Install that and you are set. In summerboard you can control the wallpapers behind the icons and on the lock screen. Let me know how this goes.

Oh and make sure you back up your phone contacts and any music and pictures etc. before you jailbreak.
