i don't understand why NOONE can find this to manually change this via SSH...

anyone know of a mac app to extract .framework or .artwork files SUCCESSFULLY for 3.0?

i tried a few different ones i've found for previous iPhone OS's but, none worked for me

there is a program that extracts the keyboard.artwork files so you can change them manually....but the problem is that apple changed the way that the files are accessed on the phone.....people are thinking that they must be cached somewhere....noone has found the change yet

in previous iPhone OS when you changed the artwork images and imported them back in the keyboards would change no problem... but like i said something has changed in the way that the phone gets the images ....and before winterboard was created unpacking and repacking the .artwork files were the only way...

im sure sooner or later someone will find it

search for iphoneshop3.0 by massimo23, it will export and import the .artwork images for you....(the thread is actually in the section scroll down and youll see it)

ive used it with no problems...but the images dont change for me like they did in previous firmwares

Ice9812 is correct. While it is possible to extract and recompress artwork files, the modified files do not seem to take effect. As I wrote in the other thread about iPhoneShop, the big question is whether we are actually modifying the artwork files correctly. The Keyboard-Latin.artwork file is 17 MB in size. Extracting the pngs results in a folder of 1.7 MB. What else is in that artwork file? A duplicate set of keyboards?

i found that thread minutes after posting here, downloaded it but, i was WAY too tired to try anything... I'm at work now but, when i get home, after i wash my car i'll play around with it...

i wasn't knocking anyone by saying what i did earlier, about how noone could figure it out... i just find it strange that EVERYTHING else can be skinned but the keyboard *shrug*...

i don't know much about this, i haven't even had an iPhone for a month yet... wait, a little more than a month, i'm SLOWLY learning my way around the file system...

i appreciate your response Ice, and will be giving iPhoneShop a run for its money this evening!!!

Thanks submitted!

Good Luck! I am really looking forward to seeing neo Tech Dark Keyboard for 3.0!

I checked the keyboard file, analized it and the images tha the iphoneshop extracts are the only ones present in the Keyboard-latin file.
It is wrong to assume that the size between the sum of all the extracted png files and the artwork file are similar.
For example if we take the image "kb-std-url-alt-transparent.png", which is 320x216 in dimension, we have the png extracted is only 15.7 Kb while the png in the artwork file is actually 44 Kb
Why? Because every pixel in the artwork file uses 4 bytes so if we do some maths: 320x216x4 = 44 kb
So at the end the artwork file is a lot bigger than the sum of all the images extracted.
remember that png images are compressed too.
Apple have changed the way it processes the keyboard images...hopefully we will sort it out!!!

Massimo, I have the suspicion that there are more keyboards in another file. So I first deleted the Latin file, rebooted and keyboards still worked fine. I then deleted the Common file and that removed the globe key for multiple keyboards, but otherwise the keyboard remained functional.

There is another interesting file in the same folder as the keyboards and it's called "UIKit". When I delete that file, apps crash, so there is no way telling whether or not it holds keyboards. It's 11 MB and has portions that look like images to me. Can you take a look at that file?

armadillo....when i was messing around awhile back trying to find the emoji names ....saurik told me to run a strings command on the UIKit file and it would dump a bunch of information from it ...i saved it to a text file ill send it to you if you want it...i dont know what any of the stuff means.....but its from 2.2.1 ..i never got it to work on 3.0...let me know

New UIImages Download (includes keyboads.):

To use existing keyboard themes, rename them to the new 3.0 ones.

@Wyndwarrior, exactly what files do you rename? Do you have them working?

Rename the old keyboard images to the new ones.

The names you provide are the same as those that iPhoneShop gives. They are the same as those we already had in FW 2.0. Still, the keyboards with those names do not work in WinterBoard. Neither do the modified artwork files.

[Pablo FBB]

So we still can't change our keyboard

[MaVerick!]

I'm interested in the evolution of your researches. My keyboards do not work either in 3.0 and it is
I read many pages without finding anything. I hope that it will soon be found.
