Well i talked to one of the reps. I have 2 defective iphones. One the speakers dont work at all brand spanking new, and mine doesnt fully charge. Told her about the problem and she said just bring it well exchange it.

hmm cool

**laz305** · 07-21-2007, 03:59 PM

3 ?'s 1. Do you have to drag the file from the phonedmg folder or can i drag from anywhere?
2. Do you guyz think it would be possible to come up with an app that would let us store several themes on the iPhone at once? That way we can change themes on a whim like any other cell.
& 3. How do you move around the icons? and if it too diffucult nm hehe

**JakeyBoy** · 07-21-2007, 07:47 PM

1. Anywhere if using manzanana or whatever its called.
2. Not with what we know. All we know is pictures and files. We dont know where the actual code is yet but soon.
3. There is this file called displayorder.plist you need to edit look at this thread. http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=962
Havent found much of a way to edit it in windows that i know of but its easy in mac.

If we can figure out the file that dictates which images are used in the skin, and then create an app that would just change that to change skins.. it'd be possible. I can see it in my head...

Ya I know. I was thinking about that Poetic. Thats my next project lol

**tharepairguy** · 07-24-2007, 04:14 PM

I can't tell you how thankful i am that poetic linked this thread to me. I spent so much time (5+ hours) over and over again trying to add icons and with nothing to show for it. Now with the specific directions i'm sure it'll work now. Thanks Again

You know.. Theres a program in the downloads section called manzana that allows you to drag and drop your stuff! no more typing in dos. lol.

**Kyle Matthews** · 07-25-2007, 01:31 AM

**LoringStudios** · 07-25-2007, 08:48 AM

For realz? I thought mac had a drag and drop too? Man. no joke.. takes me less than a 45 second to throw a whole skin on my phone with manzana. wow. I remember typing. ugh

**Kyle Matthews** · 07-25-2007, 01:47 PM

Pshaw. Takes me 3 minutes, no big deal.

**LoringStudios** · 07-25-2007, 04:24 PM

**Kyle Matthews** · 07-25-2007, 07:37 PM

**trupimp714** · 08-05-2007, 11:57 AM

Ok I have a couple questions, when I am changing the icon on the phone, what the hell is Field Test, and Demo App, all of these theme packs have these icons on it! Also how the hell do you make 5 icons on the bottom row instead of 4?

**itb165** · 08-05-2007, 04:59 PM

how would i load the display list for the theme icecool

**Kyle Matthews** · 08-05-2007, 05:00 PM

cd /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/
putfile /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/DisplayOrder.plist

**itb165** · 08-05-2007, 05:14 PM

it worked thanks man but what about al of the other icons that were not explained in the tutorial such as the green yellow and red buttons etc

**Kyle Matthews** · 08-05-2007, 05:23 PM

They're in the pack in the correct folders they need to be uploaded to, and I believe he includes a readme in each of his packs which tells you exactly the commands that need to be entered to install it.

readme=Read me.
