Uploading SummerBoard themes 'How To' w/iBrickr

[soulthoughts]

************
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST INSTALL SUMMERBOARD FIRST!
************
ALSO IMPORTANT: THIS TUTORIAL WORKS WITH FW 1.0.2,1.1.1,MAYBE 1.1.2, BUT NOT 1.1.3.
************
I get a handful of PMs a week asking me how to upload a SummerBoard theme manually. Most of the PMs ask specifically about iBrickr.

So I created a 'How To' for iBrickr. Now I know there are other ways to do it, specifically with iPhoneBrowser, but this only addresses iBrickr. This tut assumes a few things. It assumes you are using Windows. It assumes you are using a firmware version supported by iBrickr. I made it a pdf.

I'm hoping this is pretty dummy proof. If you can't upload a theme after reading this please drop off your iPhone at the door.

Hope this helps.

Not a problem. I think there are a lot of people that needed a tutorial with screenshots.

I don't think it will but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

It will work fine for uploading. It will not work for Ringtones. It should work for PXL installation, if you need that.

If it's a zip or rar file then yes, all the images are in one file. You need to unpack the file in that case to get to all the images.

so every icon must have the same name as the folder of the app ?? for instance

weather.ico must be named Weather.png
etc etc ??

I'm not sure what you mean but here's what a SummerBoard theme should look like.

Theme folder

Dock.png

Wallpaper.png

Icons folder

Weather.png

Photos.png

Camera.png

....and whatever other icons you have.

I have a 1.1.2 iPhone 4.6BL. I can't find

"Scroll down until you see the
‘Summerboard/’ folder and
click it."

Summerboard is not there. Isn't it possible to upload themes to the new iPhone using ibrickr?

[stocis]

i meant the actual NAME of each icon.png.. should it be AppNameExactlyAsItsNamed.png ?

You probably haven't installed Summerboard then.

Inside the Icons folder, the way you need to name each png is related to the Display name of the App on the Homescreen. For instance, on the homescreen, the default applications are name Text, Mail, iPod, Safari and so forth. It can not be be named according to the actual Application folder, just the display name under the relevant icon on the homescreen.
