Homebrew Dynamic Background 2 guarantees fresh wallpaper for Windows Phone

Windows Phone Hacker as returned to an earlier project called Dynamic Background with some significant updates previewed in his latest video.

Of course like all amazing homebrew efforts, this one requires root access, not just a developer unlocked phone. That means only a small set of hardcore users will ever get to experience this feature. On the other hand, come early November you could just pick up some new Windows Phone 8 hardware and get the Microsoft solution.

We also know that the HTC 8X/8S will feature HTC’s own wallpaper sources too. Natch.

Dynamic Background 2 should be out in a few days and we’ll follow up when it goes live.
