you wont need the winterboard setting for wallpaper if changing the wallpaper in the phone settings does not work then it means you have a theme that is overriding the wallpaper, if this is the case use ssh or ifile to naviagate you phone go to var/stash/theme.xxxxxx in this folder you will see all your themes find the theme you have activated in and delete the wallpaper.png file from the theme, respring and it should be the wallpaper you selected in your phone settings

This should fix your issue.
 
It's as simple as that? In the reading i've been doing, it seemed like you had to add a new wallpaper to the themes folder and rename it, etc etc.?

you can do it that way also, but if a theme does not have a wallpaper.png file in the root of the theme folder the phone uses the one selected in the phone settings
 
theres just too much crap in there to know whats what so basically I deselected all the "themes" although the themes I had selected were not supposed to be wall paper related but that seems to have fixed the problem THANKS

Pretty self explanatory, with the screen shots and what not. If you dont get it then you dont. The point is quite clear, that particular 'theme' causes the problem disabling it solves the problem. :)

It doesn't make much since why that theme would cause the problem. The other thing you can do is try dragging the "User Wallpaper" theme so it's higher up that the voice control theme. That should give it a higher priority.

Did you try placing use wallpaper higher up? I'm really not positive if it will work, but it may be worth a shot. Selected themes that are higher on the list override selected themes that are lower on the list.

I tried but bypassing that ssh nonsense.. just used iphone explorer..

I put one in that folder.. didnt work... tried putting it in the disable voice control folder.. didnt work only way was to not use that theme disable voice control.

Guess that theme just has something about it that doesnt allow for user wallpaper or its own wallpaper no matter what.
