Report this Bug Fix to Apple:
Do your Part: These are user-to-user forums. Apple rarely reads these forums on their own time as it is. So, provide Apple with feedback on this. Apple wont get back to you directly, but the more they hear of this, the more they will know what is going on, and what needs to be fixed. Apple will know nothing if this, if you don't report it to them.
To Provide Feedback:
Solved for a short time. Tried different suggestions that worked temporarily. Home Screen black wallpaper still an issue.
