Hey guys i just got my iphone, and i want to put one of these cool themes onto my iphone, but the stick and the threads dont specify how i can download these into my phone. any help or instructiosn would be appreciated.

Download the .zip or .rar file. Get an FTP program like WinSCP or CuteFTP Pro and log on. Go install the FTP program. When it asks for the IP, go to Settings>Wi-Fi, then click the blue arrow and it will show the IP. In the username and password, type "root" for username and "alpine" for password. When you get to the system files, go to Library>SummerBoard>Themes, and that is where you put the folder of the theme. After you're done with that, go to SummerBoard and select your theme!

k i down loaded the WinSCP, under sessions, i put my IP as host name, left port as 22, username: root, Pw: alpine. Than do i put the zip file under private key file? and do i have to unzip the file before i put it in? because the zip file has all the .jpg in it.

You have to change all the .jpg to .png or the iPhone/iPod won't read it. Yes, you need to unzip it. The theme folder needs the folder...here are the contents in the theme folder:

1) Main folder (theme)
2) Contents (needs "Dock.png", "Icons" folder, "Wallpaper.png")
3) In the "Icons" folder, all the icons need to be .png.

EDIT: In 1.1.1-2, the folder is in the private/var/root/Library. In 1.1.3-4, it is in private/var/root/mobile.

k i am having problems connecting my the WinSCP to my iphone, i put my IP i am looged onto as the Host name, but my wireless internet has a password on it. So should i put my username as root and use my own PW? because it keep saying unable to connect to server.

[iFilipino]

No, it's "root" + "alpine".

he might not have open ssh installed

.... in that case open installer and make sure you have bsd subsystem installed and then after, install open ssh and then retry all those steps again....

Unzip the file and then upload it to the phone in SMB.

Here's what I did... I took the theme from my desktop

And have a look at my CyberDuck, I uploaded 2 themes, which I do not see in my SUMMERBOARD -

What should I do?

In 113 and 114 the Summerboard folder doesn't go in root it goes in var/mobile/Library . Make sure you set your permissions to 755.

Figured it out - I had to upload it in

PRIVATE / VAR / MOBILE / SUMMERBOARD / THEME

I uploaded a theme to this folder but nothing happens when I select it in Summerboard. I used ibrickr to do the uploading to the phone, does that matter?
