Own a Macintosh - Trying to install SummerBoard Themes??

**alanmpoulin** · 03-19-2008, 01:15 PM

Does any one know how to install SB themes onto my iPhone?

Also, does anyone know where I can download iSwitcher for my Mac so I can get iSwitcher Themes onto my iPhone?

Thanks!!

i use cyberduck to do this it works good

install summerboard from installer system folder to change themes

where can I download cyberduck and is this an app that gets installed on my Mac or on my iPhone?

just install afpd on your iphone and access it throught the "Connect to server..." menu option. Also you can download themes from installer but sometimes they go to the wrong place.

So I answered my own question. It looks like you download CD to your Mac Desktop which I have done. I guess the next step is to click on the icon in the left corner that says Open Connection. What do I do from here? What do I select for

Protocol

Server

Username?

PW?

Do I check the 2 boxes below?

What port should I use, it defaults to 21

So once I get connected, am I going to search on my desktop for the Summerboard Theme and upload to my phone useing CD?

Sorry for all the questions - FIRST TIME USER

What is afpd?

**abujala** · 03-20-2008, 12:10 PM

protocal ..it drop box on right and select ssh file transfer

server is .. ip address of iphone< in iphone go .. settings ...wifi..press the blue arrow to find ip >
user name is <root>
password is <alpine>

i dont have the box checked
port 22 is what mine defaulted to
and place the themes in the folder we talked about above

good luck

if i helped .... u know where the thanks is

**alanmpoulin** · 03-20-2008, 10:37 PM

I am almost there friend, thanks for all your help. So what I type the word root for user name and alpine for password? It looks like it wants to connect, then times out

Thoughts?

can you instant message me at AIM or .mac address > alanmpoulin

**abujala** · 03-20-2008, 10:42 PM

do u have ssh installed on ur iphone

it is in system folder in installer

**alanmpoulin** · 03-21-2008, 12:37 AM

Yes, it is called OpenSSH, I uninstalled and re-installed it. Is there supposed to be an SSH icon on my iPhone screen? If yes, there is nothing. I actually got logged into cyberduck just fine and I can drag themes right into the folder, now I am stuck with how do I get the Themes copied over to my iPhone. Do you know the proper steps and should I just be able to fire up SBD and see the new theme in my theme list or do I need to copy it from installer first?

This is where I am stuck at this point, but I think I am REALLY CLOSE!!

Hey i'm on a Network at home.

The iP address on my iphone is: 192.168.1.101 & router: 192.168.1.1
user: root
port: 22
pass: alpine

Any thoughts?

THANK YOU SO MUCH......

Ok, final question, where do I find all the "COOL" stuff like games, themes, wallpapers for someone who has a Mac with iPhone???

**desepticon** · 03-21-2008, 08:54 AM

add the source: ride4.org/shai.xml and install ALL SOURCES from installer

you should now have access to a lot of cool stuff

**alanmpoulin** · 03-21-2008, 11:44 AM

When you say add, do you mean add on my iPhone or on my Macintosh? What would be the exact step by step instructions to get to this vault of goodies and how to install them onto the iPhone?

Alan

I am looking at the catagories in Installer and done see ALL SOURCES????

**abujala** · 03-21-2008, 11:54 AM

**alanmpoulin** · 03-21-2008, 12:11 PM

YOU ROCK buddy, thanks so much!! last question since you seem to know a vast amount of info on this stuff. Have you heard of iSwitcher which is guess is another Theme app? If yes, where and how do I get it?

**abujala** · 03-21-2008, 01:41 PM

what do you do if summerboard shows up on iphone, along with the themes, but the summerboard and theme folders are no where to be found on cyberduck?
