How to add themes to my phone.

[dunkhype]

sorry that i might ask the same questions over and over as a noobie would but how would you add themes to your phone? i cant find a guide to do it and i searched on all the how to add themes and nothing that i need pops up. i want to add anythemes that are in the skinning/theme area. If its ok if some one teaches me how to do it step by step please?

You will need to install "Winterboard" on your iphone which will allow you to change your themes easily. You can install it from "Cydia". You can also download themes from Cydia straight to the phone.

If your wanting a theme thats not on Cydia....then you would have to manually SSH into the phone and drop the theme into Winterboards "themes" folder.

Do a search for SSH if your not familiar with it...and/or Winterboard if you dont already have it. Both simple to do.

i tried doing an ssh. i dl'd what i needed to dl but it didnt seem to work.. i got to step 5 and it didnt go as the guide showed. any ideas?

If you can tell me exactly what you did....and where it stopped I could help.

Its fairly easy....you need a client depending on whether your on Mac or WinPC...Im on PC so I use "WinSCP"...just install it. A few settings thats it.

And then install "OpenSSH" onto your iphone from Cydia...thats it.

Login and go.

hey can I pick your brain on WinSCP? I use Iphonebrowser-

Any pro's or con's to either?

I always liked the interface on WinSCP a little better, but they both work great and will do what you need.

hey cpjr thanks for helping.. im i dl'd winscp and ssh on my iphone. once i installed it and everything, i got it running and then started to open the application. I started to type in my ip address and press ok. But another error messes that says try again or reconnect pops up instead of the one shown in the guide.

^^Have you installed OpenSSH to your phone and rebooted?

In WinSCP you need to setup the IP address (must be connected to WIFI)

Login: Root
Pword: Alpine

hey cpjr i got it to work, what do i do next?

Install Winterboard to your iphone.

Drop themes into /Applications/themes/

Choose them in Winterboard. Or you can download themes from Cydia and they will be put there for you.

what about applications? such as widgets and stuff, when i create a folder where would i put it?

[dunkhype]

hey i dropped everything into the correct folder.. its still not working. i dropped it in /private/var/stash/Applications/themes AND private/var/mobile/applications/themes and both ways didnt show up in winterboard when i put themes in there.. anyone help?
