You didn't waste my time. This is what I do everyday! I'm still not convinced you followed everything to a T because some of your questions were about doing things that were not in the guide. Like I said, you will probably have success if you just forget everything you did and just start over step for step.

Hey so LOL i got it to work!
Sorry, i did follow the instructions, BUT i realized the BIG problem was that i didn't put ".theme" at the end of the theme name for the theme folder. LOL!

So i saw on iphonemodding, which i believe is your website?? That you will be added a tutorial on how to add screenshots.
Let me know when that's up.

I was able to put the picture where "depiction" goes and link it to a folder via FTP, but i wasn't able to add a section that they click on called "screenies" the screenshot just shows up where the version and everything shows up. LOL!

Thanks sooo much for all your help, you rock!

Yeah, iPhoneModding is mine.

I hope to get the other two tutorials up in a couple of days! Congrats on getting your repo finished!

Hello again, so hey, thank you for all your help the other day(s), i have uploaded two themes to my repo as of right now, but i'm stuck on the third one. In reference to the above message i was able to get the .deb file for my third theme, but for some reason when i go to do the second part in Terminal to create the new Packages text file, i get some weird message that says:

Unprocessed text form ./deb/BlackStyle.deb control file; info:

and then it lists all the info i placed on the control text file. I went back and made sure all my control files were similar other than the description, name and package part and it all looks right.

Have you ever seen this before?

Thanks in advance!

Post your control file for the BlackStyle theme.

Here it is:

It has a space at the bottom as well.

This is what i typed in Terminal (maybe this will help), i am using my fiancé's computer to do this stuff. So it says "David" and not Stephanie.

Hey

i put two themes in the upload/deb folder and i created a Package file and everything. But it isn't working. In cydia in my Repo just one theme of those two shows up. Why?
And can someone please tell me, where to put a space at the bottom?In which files?
Thanks.

[stephaniel26]

The reason it only shows one i believe is because you have to do each one separately and create a package file for each one. Unfortunally i dont think you can do them in bulk.

Try deleting the one that didnt show up and the deb file for it and then re add it and remake a deb file for it, then do a new package file. It should show up then. Good luck, let me know if it works.

Ok...i'll try later today....
But, if I create a package file for each one, then there will be two Package files. When I upload them on my server, i can't put them in the same directory...Where do i put them then????
Thx in advance.
