    Unfortunately that aspect of vwall is formatted for the iPhone which doesn't rotate but you could set up new widget which does
    Here's how:
    1. Go into ifile create a new folder "wallpaper" within the webviews folder.
    Var/mobile/media/vwallpaper2/webviews/
    2. Place desired pictures in this folder and name appropriately
    3. Open vwallpaper2 goto webviews>add local widget
    4. Tap on "URL" field and point it to
    Var/mobile/media/vwallpaper2/webviews/wallpaper/picturename.png or jpg
    5. Scroll down further and set width to 1024 and height to 720
    6. Scroll down further and switch on "show behind icons"
    7. Set wallpaper to on
    Note: make sure your ipad wallpaper and widget are the same pic otherwise you might see a delay of widget showing up when closing apps similar to how the htc weather widget reacts when closing apps.

    If wanting perpage wallpapers then repeat steps 3 thru 6 and then add:
    8. Tap on page# field below URL field and enter desired page.
    9. Set wallpaper to off
    Then I think it will respring.....this should now rotate. Also set wallpaper to off. Hopefully that works since I'm doing this from guessing...I'm on my iphone 3g model# POS ATM.



    Update: that really didn't work the way I hoped....but I did find this on developer website
    Note: This version are not tested on iPad. Please wait for the next update if something are wrong / bad display (resolution / rotation of screen).
    So for now all I did was rotate the wallpaper 90degrees with any photo editing app. PS express or photo gene will do.

    I tried this out a few months ago, and while it's not bad, it's still in its infancy (at least it was when I tried it). It was too complex, explained too little as to what each tweak did (you had to respring, of course, after enabling every tweak, which meant that if you wanted to know what a tweak did you'd have to go through them one at a time and enable them/respring... which sucks) and it simply did too little while not exactly playing nice with things like going online to retrieve information.

    Hopefully it'll get better in time.

    with version .5 came the ability to place the widgets behind icons and also enabling panoramic wallpaper. While you did have to respring when turning on certain options. You didn't have to respring when choosing different graphix under those options. For instance...when turning on "magic fingers", you do have to respring but you don't have to when choosing different graphics under "magic fingers". The same goes for other options as well. I mainly use it for widgets at the time....until it's updated for iPad so as to rotate for some of the options.

    I am sure the developer will update this tweak to run on iOS 5. The key here is - it won't work on stock iPads. You must be jailbroken... So, if iOS 5 is jailbroken, and if the developer updates this tweak to run on that version AND you jailbreak your iPad, then sure, you'll be able to use this tweak.
