Quite honestly, the best feature to include would definitely be something to allow the changing of wallpapers for both the lockscreen and springboard without having to create/rename/move files. I'm not afraid of SSH and use it for configuring or messing about but I don't like the idea of having to create and remove files in the command line every time I want to switch wallpapers. This would be a priceless feature in Supreme Preferences.
When are you expecting it to be released (other than "soon") because I would like to get my hands on it and see how customizable we can make our iphones.

I tried installing, but it gives me this error message:
dpkg : error processing SupremePreferences3.0_1b8.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: SupremePreferences3.0_1b8.deb
What did I do wrong?
Thanks.

Sounds like you are not in the correct directory when writing the command.

Put it in /private/var/root
Open terminal and type:
login root
alpine
dpkg -i SupremePreferences3.0_1b8.deb
Exit terminal and enable Supreme Preferences 3.0 in WinterBoard.

If that's the case, do this:
Put the file wherever, just take note of the location.
Now type cd /private/var/mobile/ Or wherever the location was.
Then procede with the dpkg -i pacakagename.debAnd it will be like a taco inside a taco within a Taco Bell that's inside a KFC that's within a mall that's inside your dream!

If it's this hard for you to install the app I question your ability to use BETA software.

package? where and how?
Newbie here can someone explain to me how to install this?
I think I have copied the 1b8.deb file into the "root" folder but I have no idea where or how to run that package?
Can someone explain how and where I find this package to run it?
thanks
Any other steps?

Well this is the instructions I received.
OS 3.0
Mobile Substrate
WinterBoard
NO MMPFlip installed (this RUINS Supreme Preferences 3.0)
INSTALLATION:
Copy SupremePreferences3.0_1b8.deb to /private/var/root on your device.
Run dpkg -i SupremePreferences3.0_1b8.deb - exit Terminal and activate Supreme Preferences 3.0 in WinterBoard
I see no mention pertaining to these instructions?
thanks

Everyone can google on how to install a .deb file, there are many tutorials about it.

If you can't install a .deb, you shouldn't mess with beta software. Just sayin
