   that will mess it up my friend…

   

   William on May 31st, 2008 9:10 pm:

   If you wont mind, just update your ipod (it will erase every app you’ve installed) and through ziphone rejailbreake it in 1.1.4 .

   I appreciate the work that was put into making this. However I must say, it’s themes like this that make me realize how classy the original interface is from Apple.

   Ive been wanting a theme like this for a while, I also have grown to like the default theme tho. I dunno why but the blue just fits the bill the best XD

   while this is a great accomplishment by the developer, the default UI theme is much more clean and polished. I also do not like the optical illusion the button lighting/shadowing creates; they look like trapezoids instead of rectangles!

   Hahaha thats exactly what i was thinking.

   This mod will work for both 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 and it is for the iPhone ONLY. My appologies for not clearly specifying that earlier.

   The install/uninstall works flawlessly for me using 1.1.4.

   Allen on May 31st, 2008 3:59 am:

   Also.. 1.1.3 users must install manually via ssh since the package in the repository is setup for 1.1.4 only.

   

   John on May 31st, 2008 3:12 pm:

   Why do you say it is for iphone only? I have it in my ipod touch 1.1.4 and it seems to work fine. But I still want to know, will it mess up my ipod?

   

   Allen on May 31st, 2008 3:26 pm:

   Well I didn’t think it would work with the iPod Touch but it actually does. This mod is only replacing a bunch of images, you don’t have to worrry about it messing up anything.

   

   Sidetalker on May 31st, 2008 4:07 pm:

   It works for Touch

   Sorry for the confusion, Allen didn’t package this one

   I have a 1.1.4 ipod touch. When i tried installing the chromium keyboard, it didnt fully install and my installer crashed. When i went into my notes to see how the keyboard looked it was black with multicolored stripes running though. Now i cant see my keyboard and i tried uninstalling it but it wasnt there since it didnt fully install. Now whenever i try to type something the keyboard is black and ugly!!! I cant see my keyboard properlly! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   well done install/uninstall-coding and a great artwork. but i agree with TwistyValhalla and Brian. to the developer: i would take your work as a basis for a more leopard-style-looking theme (i think of the grey title bars, buttons ect.), but with the clear and plain “understatement” of the original theme of the iphone. “more less” should there be “more”…

    Hi everyone,

    I personally packaged this Chromium Artwork and I just wanted to let you all know a few things.

    1. I packaged it with if/then statements EVERYWHERE so that if you do not have a certain application installed (SummerBoard or mail if you’re on an iPod Touch) it will skip the installation of that particular component.
    2. That being said, this will work on all iPhone and iPod Touches!
    3. Also, I am updating the repository to allow installation on 1.1.3 iPhones and Touches so by the time this is posted you will be able to install Chromium Artwork on your 1.1.3 firmware iPhone or iPod Touch.
    4. If you’re still having trouble, make sure you have enough free disk space! This is quite a large installation and Installer.app is known to run into problems when you are running low on disk space (such as crashing during installation)

    I’m glad you are all enjoying it

    Oh… and Lucky… it’s def not ugly

    Hi, i got it and really liked it but just for curiosity i tried to unistalle it but i can’t. How can I uninstall it?

    

    Sidetalker on May 31st, 2008 4:51 pm:

    Why can’t you uninstall?

    

    Tim on May 31st, 2008 9:22 pm:

    Never mind, though it didn’t at first now after 3 or 4 turning on and off it did. Anyway I don’t really now why I couldn’t unistall it, all I remember is it starting unistallation and suddenly it stoped.. didn’t crash or froze just stoped and stood there as if I never clicked uninstall. I also tryed downloading the original images but that did crash my installer.

    Another update people. I have just added a more comprehensive Original Images package to our installer.app repository: http://planet-iphones.com/repository... This will completely eliminate all traces of custom images and bring you back to default. Currently it is only for iPhone though a seperate package for iPod Touches will be released as soon as I determine the file structure for iPod Touches. On a related note, if anyone with a jailbroken iPod Touch can chat with me on AIM or email me that would be great (Sidetalker10 on AIM or installer@planet-iphones.com).

    If Original Images or Chromium iPhone is crashing during installation it means you do not have enough free space left. It is not a problem with the packaging it is a problem with Installer.app not checking free space.

    I hope you all enjoy it

    This app is not showing up in my UnInstall tab.
    Manually removed the Planet-iPhones folder from Mobile Library
    but only some of the effects went away.
    Can someone tell us how to Uninstall it completely manually?
    I like it but I like options as well.
    Thanks

    Ah! I installed and now the keyboard is corrupt. Instead of displaying any keys, it just puts of a block of random pixels where the kb should be. I can’t get any app to run with the kb. Uninstaller is not showing it. How to I return to the default kb??

    Damn this thing – it doesn’t uninstall cleanly. Repeated install/uninstall cycles dont help.

    Does anyone have a recipe for doing this manually ?

    Damn, damn, damn.

    After the first install of this “theme” I ended up with corrupt images. It appears it backed up some but not all images. I removed some apps to make sure I had space then reinstalled. Then I could see the theme. But I no longer want it due to the problems I had and the low contrast with some text. I can not remove it without having corrupt backups as the install must have either ran out of space or the iPhone shut off during install.

    1. Allen check space and battery power before install
    2. Store some sort of crc or file check data that can be compared before restoring
    3. Provide UI to swap items or disable theme or other feature.

    Yep
    Jad reinstall it till we can get the original artwork from Allen.

    Allen can you repost the original artwork?

    Lots of us have corruption issues and I would like to not have to reinstall as I’m away from my main pc.
