Zunda – SummerBoard Theme

Brooke — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:02:41 +0000

Zunda is a SummerBoard theme available via the ModMyiFone source. I saw this theme in the Installer yesterday and thought I would check it out. It turned out to be pretty cool. It is bright, clean and seems to have a decent amount of icons.

Buuf2 and SimpleBlack

Brooke — Thu, 29 May 2008 13:44:19 +0000

Here are two themes from the ModMyiFone source. Neither of these are new themes, they are actually themes that have been around for a while (or based off themes the have been around for a while). I really like Buuf2 and if you are looking for a simplistic theme, SimpleBlack might be just the theme for you (too boyish for me! ). I am on a theme kick lately, for some reason I have been changing my theme everyday! If you are like me and want variety, these might be two themes to add to your collection!

Custom Digg Theme

Digg is a theme inspired by Digg.com made by the famous Louie Mantia. Digg is by far my favorite theme of all the themes I have ever used or ever seen. It is just so clean and beautiful . It only comes with stock application icons but, I made a package with more custom icons in it. If you can not find the specific custom icon you are looking for, you can just rename one of the other icons I have provided. You can get the Digg theme from the AppTapp source. Check out the screenshots below!

::::INSTALLATION NOTE:
1. Install Digg Theme

2. Get the custom icon pack HERE

3. Download and Unzip the package.

4. Then SSH into your iPhone and place icons in: /private/var/mobile/Library/SummerBoard/Themes/Louie Mantia – Digg

Note: You will have to rename some of the icons to fit the applications you want to use them for.

iPhone Theme – SpaceCamtessa

Brooke — Sun, 11 May 2008 14:07:57 +0000

There was a new SummerBoard theme – SpaceCamtessa – that I decided to give a try. When I first installed it, I’m wasn’t sure I liked it. Well, after some tweaking, I decided I would keep it around for a while. Which means you guys get to see it too! I personally wasn’t big on the Theme’s Wallpaper or Dock. So, I turned off the Theme’s Wallpaper and Dock in SummerBoard and turned on the reflective Dock that I love so much (using Kate). Much better! However, there was another issue, the Text icon was still stock. So, I did the first thing I always do when a Stock app’s icon is not working in a Theme, SSH in and make sure they are labeled correctly. It was not. It was titled SMS instead of Text. So, I change the title of the icon to Text and resprung my SpringBoard. It is amazing what a little tweaking can do….much better! One of my favorite things about a jailbroken iPhone is that you can customize it to fit your own style. Even with this one theme, there are a ton of ways to customize to make it your own!

SummerBoard 3.2

Brooke — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:48:17 +0000

This is the version of SummerBoard Doug has been waiting for!! Version 3.2 fixes the issue where you were unable to install more than 80 apps on your 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 iPhone! So, upgrade and install away!

SummerBoard 3.1-2 Update

Douglas — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 21:21:09 +0000

SummerBoard has been updated to support 1.1.4. Brooke tried to update her 1.1.1 and got a warning saying 1.1.3 or higher is required. It updated fine on my 1.1.3. Let us know how it’s worked for you in the comments!

1.1.3 SMB Theme Fix on Installer.app

Jacob — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 20:09:30 +0000

iPod Touch Fans have added a 1.1.3 SummerBoard themes fix called “1.1.3 Theme Fix” to their repo. It can be found in Installer.app under the category “Tweaks (1.1.3)”. Install it once, then every time you add a new theme through the Installer.app go to the uninstall list in Installer and “reinstall” the 1.1.3 Theme Fix, similar to how you reinstall BSD Subsystems.

This is just a code application, you will not see anything on your Springboard!

Basically it just runs the script I showed you before every time you ‘reinstall’ this app. Nice, quick, and easy for those who are scared of running a command line script. Some screen shots after the break.

SummerBoard Update 3.1-1

Brooke — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 03:51:32 +0000

This is what everyone has been waiting for (at least everyone on 1.1.3!)!! The update to SummerBoard 3.1-1 updates the app to work on version 1.1.3!! YAY! Note: You are not able to install the new version of SummerBoard if you are on any other FW besides 1.1.3. If you try to install it, you will just get an error saying that you cannot install it and that it is only for FW 1.1.3. Below is the screenshot:

SummerBoard Update 3.0

Brooke — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 20:00:35 +0000

Well…after another quick update by the developers of SummerBoard, version 3.0 is now available in the Installer.app. So, we have been through SummerBoard 3.0a11, 3.0a12, 3.0b1, 3.0b1-1, 3.0b2 and now 3.0. Does this mean that SummerBoard is no longer in alpha or beta mode and is now a full fledge app! And, as far as we can tell here at AppleiPhoneSchool.com…there are no visible changes in version 3.0. Let us know in the comments if you notice anything.

SummerBoard Update 3.0b2

Brooke — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 18:04:08 +0000

There is an update to SummerBoard in the Installer.app. However, I got nothing becuase I can’t get the package to download. I don’t know if there is an error with the app or if too many people are trying to install it at the same time. As soon as I get it installed I will let you know what the update does. Everyone needs to stop installing it so I can get it installed!!
