Help Can't change wallpapers!

Ok I went ahead and did something that fixed my problem... My wallpaper has not locked up in over 2 days (since approx Wed night when I made the change). I also re-enabled Wallswitch to change every 30 minutes to get the best test I could.

Here's what I did...(Though I don't recommend it for everyone for obvious reasons).

1) Wiped the phone via RUU recovery to Evo Rom 1.47.651.1
2) Used the SimpleRoot application to root the Evo ([Program] SimpleRoot .1 ---- 3 Click Root w/ nand unlock!! - xda-developers)
3) Flashed The "official" 2.2 rooted ROM from this thread (HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed - xda-developers) Along with the 2 radio updates.

That left me with an up to date EVO with Froyo 2.2 rooted. Reinstalled my apps via a combination of Titanium Backup & Market and have everything back the way it was with no issues at all with my wallpaper.

I did notice one odd thing however, and I'm not sure if it's just 2.2 HTC's rom, or the version I installed but 'sometimes' when I navigate back home from say browsing for a while or other apps, the HTC Home app 'loads' up show the white/green HTC screen. It's as if perhaps HTC automatically is resetting. It only takes a second or two to finish loading the widgets, but I am wondering if that is why my wallpaper isn't locking up anymore.

Either way I'm happy :)
 
Here's what I did

OTA Froyo update

Done :D

Heh, but I just had to have root :) Otherwise same solution. I did notice today ONCE that the wallpaper reverted to the sense circles (even though I was using Launcher Pro) but it recycled automatically to my next wallpaper before I had a chance to look into it... I'm wondering if I used that photo in my wallpaper folder :P
