Here are a few simple little mods for Christmas time. They change your slide from the unlock arrow to a candy cane, stocking, bulb, or star and changes the words “Slide to Unlock” to “Merry Christmas”. The star & blub ones also have backgrounds. You can use a program like iFile or SSH in and change the text to make “Merry Christmas” say anything else if you’d like.

Snowman Theme – WinterBoard Theme
December 15, 2010 by
Snowman theme isn’t your typical Christmas theme… it’s more of a subtle Christmas feel. The theme contains around 35 custom icons however it has an icon mask which means it actually themes all icons (except Web Clips). It also contains a lock screen background, dock, wallpaper, sms background, Folders mod… etc. You can get Snowman Theme via the modmyi source. I’m still looking for the perfect Christmas theme. Let me know in the comments if you have a favorite.

Christmas Theme by Chode4eve – WinterBoard Theme
November 30, 2010 by
Ok, now I know this is going to be too early for some of you but it is past Thanksgiving and I did make myself hold off until after Thanksgiving before starting the Christmas theme reviews. So here we go… the first one! Christmas Theme by Chode4eve is a WinterBoard theme that contains around 25 icons (just the basic apps), a lock screen background, a Messages Background, a Phone keypad background, some system string mods, badges and some UI sounds. I’m not going to lie… Christmas themes can tend to be a little cheesy but this one has well designed icons and the backgrounds are good quality. I’m not a huge fan of the UI sounds but, I just go into iFile and rename the UISounds folder to something like UISounds(nope) and then I no longer have the theme’s built-in sounds. Other than that… a decent Christmas theme… it just makes me all cheery! You can get Christmas Theme by Chode4eve via the BigBoss source. Check out the screenshots below.

Merry Christmas!
December 25, 2008 by
Merry Christmas to all of our readers! I hope you’re having a great day! We’d love to hear what you got for Christmas today, especially if it’s an iPhone, iPod Touch, accessories or iTunes Gift Cards. Of course let us know if it’s not iPhone related too. I got an upgrade on our video editing software so look for better videos from us in the future.
New Poll – How often do you use the YouTube application on your iPhone or iPod Touch?
December 18, 2008 by
Time for a new poll. The last poll was – Have you asked for or plan on buying an iPhone and/or iPod Touch (or accessories) for Christmas? Below are the results based on when we added the poll a week ago.
Have you asked for or plan on buying an iPhone and/or iPod Touch (or accessories) for Christmas? (Choose all that apply!)
I plan on buying at least one iPhone for Christmas (24%, 75 Votes)
I plan on buying at least one iPod Touch for Christmas (12%, 38 Votes)
I have asked for an iPhone for Christmas (15%, 46 Votes)
I have asked for an iPod Touch for Christmas (9%, 28 Votes)
I plan on buying iPhone and/or iPod Touch Accessories for Christmas (44%, 137 Votes)
I have asked for iPhone and/or iPod Touch Accessories for Christmas (34%, 105 Votes)
Total Voters: 311
We do not plan on buying any more iPhone’s for Christmas (at least I don’t think we do) though, Doug’s grandma and grandpa each just got one and Doug is trying to talk my dad into getting one too…which I think he might be pretty close to doing! Doug did get a Mophie Juice Pack for Christmas…which he loves!! You can check out our video review of it HERE. I apologize for not having an option in the last poll that said you were not buying nor asking for anything iPhone or iPod Touch related for Christmas! I will remember that for next time! :)
You can still vote on this Poll in our Poll Archive page. You can also vote/view all the past polls on the Poll Archive page as well. Below is the new poll.

Time for a new poll. The last poll was – How many times have you restored your current iPhone or iPod Touch? Below are the results based on when we added the poll just under a week ago.
* Between 1-3 times (30%, 539 Votes)
* Between 4-6 times (24%, 435 Votes)
* Between 7-10 times (12%, 207 Votes)
* I stopped counting!! (26%, 467 Votes)
* I have never restored my iPhone or iPod Touch (8%, 146 Votes)
Total Voters: 1,794
I will say that I was among those of you who have stopped counting! And, it is probably for the same reason too…installed and tested too many applications!! I think it is crazy that 146 of you have never restored your iPhone or iPod Touch…that is awesome! You can still vote on this Poll in our Poll Archive page. You can also vote/view all the past polls on the Poll Archive page as well.
For this next poll…we would love to get some feedback from you! I sure many of us would like to know exactly what accessories you have asked for and/or bought…include links!! Or even where you bought them from or if you got a good deal somewhere!
Loading ...WinterBoard Themes and Mod

We are getting closer to Christmas (16 more days) and to get into the Holiday spirit, we are seeing more Christmas themes in Cydia! Today, there were a few worth mentioning. These are actually not new themes, they were available last Christmas, but they have been updated and added to Cydia for this Christmas! The three Christmas themes are; XMAS, Simple Christmas and Christmas in Green (all via iSpazio). There are a few other mods available is Cydia as well; TABLET a themes via BigBoss and Blue Stars Dot a SpringBoard dot mod via iSpazio. The only issue is that in the TABLET theme the Calculator icon is spelled incorrectly in the package therefore it doesn’t change the icon for the theme. But, if you are comfortable with SSH you can easily go into Library/Themes/TABLET.theme/Icons folder and change the Calcolator.png to say Calculator.png. All the screenshots are below. [Read more…]
WinterBoard Theme – Flashing Christmas Lights
December 1, 2008 by

Available In: Cydia | |
Price: Free |
Flashing Christmas Lights is an interesting theme. It adds a string of Christmas lights around your icons. It does not mod your icons so, you are basically supposed to use it in conjunction with another theme. The string of lights will randomly flash in different patterns. In order for the theme to look exactly right, you will want to enable the Transparent Dock via WinterBoard. The theme seems to work very nicely, I did not have any issues with glitching. Though, I would image that it might drain your battery a little faster than normal.
