BigBoss Releases BossPaper v1.0 for iPhone

BigBoss has taken BossPaper out of beta status and released v1.0 into the main Cydia repository.

BossPaper is a Wallpapers manager for your desktop that uses very little processor or memory. This is not a replacement for Winterboard. It is a separate enhancement to help fill the gap where BigBoss believes Winterboard leaves off.

Purpose:
You can already theme the wallpaper with Winterboard. So why the need for BossPaper? BossPaper provides a much more performance-friendly method to rotate background pictures of your choosing without Javascript.


Features:
- Rotates images you select. Select multiple folders or just a few images. (Winterboard only shows images theme maker selects).
- Rotation stops when iPhone is locked or an app starts. This is a critical point. Winterboard javascript rotation runs while locked and you cannot see it, or while you're running another app, such as a game, causing overall system lag. BossPaper does not! As soon as you load a game, app, or such the rotation timer is immediately halted and resumed only when you return to the springboard (desktop).
- Rotate with the transition you select from many available to get that cool look you want. Or randomize it!
- Rotate on timer, a duration you select.
- Totally customizable and controllable. You select what gets shown.
- Compatible with winterboard (just make sure you disable any wallpaper themes in winterboard).
- Very low RAM and CPU use. Almost no hit to standard iPhone performance. RAM use is about 1mb to load two pictures. Winterboard javascript rotation is a huge hit on iPhone performance in both CPU, Battery, and RAM (memory). Note: Winterboard, itself is not bad for system performance. Most Winterboard related performance issues comes down to some javascript type theme running.
