Jason — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:30:33 +0000

Now that I have an iPhone 4 device running iOS4 I plan on in the next few days updating my custom Winterboard theme “Night Sky” to take advantage of the devices new high-res screen. This means updated icons, wallpaper, lock screen image, sliders, etc. etc. I’ll also be adding it to one of the major Cydia repos as well for easy access/install.

Stay tuned for more info…

Finally, if you want to download and install (or mess around with) the current version see this post: http://j.mp/b1SdKT

A while back I posted my custom iPhone theme called “Night Sky”. I recently replaced the icons with a new set and wanted to repost the download. The new icons come from the theme called “Deep“. I also updated the SMS “bubbles” as well (matte finish).

“Twinkle” App aka. iPhone Party Line

The iPhone app Twinkle was one of the better looking/working Twitter clients available for free when 3rd party apps were still new to the device. The app allows you to post tweets to your Twitter account as well as see others tweeting within so many miles of your location via the iPhone.

Cool right? Well sorta… Tapulous, the people who created Twinkle, also allow people without a Twitter account to post tweets via their own network/service. So, other than seeing my friends tweets (which is the point), I also have to withstand a constant stream of random idiots blabbing about all kinds of dumb shit and posting pics of things I really don’t need to see.

Basically you get a lot of “I’m bored – talk!” or “Hey, check out how sexy I am (pic attached)” etc. Oh, and let’s not forget about the occasional guy who sends me a pic of his junk and some creepy proposition. Even if I was gay I would still find it equally disturbing so, yeah, can we stop that now?

Not to pick on “kyri1″ but here’s a perfect example. As a matter of fact it’s the “straw that broke the camel’s back” and made me finally remove Twinkle and go with TwitterFon.

Custom iPhone Theme “Night Sky”

Jason — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 22:18:14 +0000

I have a 16GB black Apple iPhone 3G. I love it. What would make this awesome device even better? The ability to change the theme of the phone including wallpaper, lock screen, icons, etc… Currently this is not possible with a vanilla iPhone 3G and iTunes.

So, one day I was bored and I decided to “jailbreak” my iPhone so I could add custom/non-approved applications onto the phone. One of the apps I added was Winterboard. This app gives you the ability to upload custom springboard (aka. desktop) themes to the phone and replace the default look of your device. But, the majority of the pre-made themes available sucked or I just didn’t like them. So I decided to make my own.

I present my custom iPhone theme for Winterboard – “Night Sky”

What do you need to run this theme?

Jailbroken iPhone (up to date version)
Cydia App (kind of like installer app but way better)
Winterboard App (install via cydia)
Categories App (allows the use of folders on springboard)
My theme “Night Sky” (download below)

What doe this theme include?

Custom springboard wallpaper
Custom lock screen
Custom battery screen
Custom app icons

This theme was cobbled together from bits of other freely available themes. I added the custom wallpapers and did some other photoshop touch-ups. All in all a good looking theme. Enjoy…
