i want to change iPhone 3G Home Screen Background

Go into your settings>wallpaper then select the picture you would like to have as your home screen.

Wallpaper and Lock Screen Photos

You can display a photo in the wallpaper background of the Lock screen and Home screen. You can choose from several wallpaper pictures included with iPad, or you can use a photo of your own.

Set a photo as screen wallpaper:

1 Choose any photo and tap , then tap Use As Wallpaper.

2 Drag to pan the photo, or pinch the photo to zoom in or out, until it looks the way you want. Keep in mind that the image will be displayed in both portrait and landscape orientation but won’t rotate.

3 Tap Set Wallpaper. Then tap to use the image as wallpaper for the Home screen, on the Lock screen, or both.

To choose from several wallpaper pictures included with iPad, go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper.

The iPhone 3G can only use wallpaper/photo on lock screen but not on Home screen.

The Home screen wallpaper came later in iPhone 3GS.

I have an iPhone 3G with the Version 4.2.1. Is there any hope to change the home screen? Because, before I changed to Version 4.2.1. I had an older one and there I could change my home screen with Winterboard. I tried to load Winterboard again, after I change to Version 4.2.1. But I can't. I don't know why. Is there any hope? Please, help me. :'(

Thx.

Oh, and I forgot : I don't have the "set as home screen" button either. :'(

I have already explained. See my post above yours?

No you can not change the homescreen background on the 3G. The processor the 3G has just does not support it. Yes you could jailbreak it but most people have found that it slows their phones down and opens them up to exploitation from hackers. The 3G is slow enough with 4.2.1 on it and making it even slower would make you want to throw the thing out.

Ok, but thank you anyway. 🙂
