How to activate homescreen-wallpaper and multitasking on the iPhone 3G


















You may have noticed that there are a few major things
missing on the iPhone 3G: Desktop wallpapers and
multitasking.




You can enable this hidden features with this guide:

  1. Open iPhone explorer, if you haven`t downloaded it already you can find it here: iPhone Explorer 1.1.8.3
  2. Navigate to „System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app“ and copy „N82AP.plist“ to your desktop by dragging it there.


  3. Download PrefSetter to edit the .plist here: PrefSetter 2.0
  4. Start PrefSetter and open the „N82AP.plist“
  5. Click on „Capabilities“ and choose „add new key“ in „Actions“ on the top
  6. Name the new key „multitasking“, choose „Boolean“ and „true“
  7. Add a second key by choosing „add new key“ in „Actions“ again
  8. Name the second key „homescreen-wallpaper“ and set „Boolean“ and „true“


  9. Save the file and add it back to your device by dragging it back into iPhone Explorer by overwriting the original file. Wait a few seconds and restart your iPhone

That`s it, desktop wallpaper is applied and multitasking is activated, you can start it by pressing the homebutton twice.
