I just downloaded a few video wallpapers through cydia but now the phone wont autolock. I have it set on 1min to do so but wont unless I unselect it from winterboard. Does anyone have any soulutions to get it auto-lock with video wallpaper i hate doing it manualy?

Its been awhile since I have Jailbroked (1.1.4) but back then autolock didnt work for video wallpaper either. Your phone thinks there is a video playing so you have to hit the button to make it lock.

Oh ok i see thanks for the heads up Styfle. It does look pretty cool to have that video in the background but i dunno if its worth it to hit that top button every single time. I guess i'll just leave it off then. It probably waist a lot more battery life to.

Yeah you'll either 1) get tired of it and use a normal picture or 2) keep it but learn to always hit the sleep button.

These things look kind of cool, but IMO, they are more for occasional use, like when showing the capabilities of the phone to friends. Some of them even state that they will cause performance issues in the "more info" tab. I just avoid them all together.

Yea thats what I was thinking already. Ill just turn it on when I'm trying to be a show off but I bet ill forget to put it to sleep and by the end of the day the battery will be drained lol.

Yeah, that's what I'd do. Otherwise, it probably won't perform as well and it will have quicker battery drain.
