Add Some Cardboard Flair To Your LockScreen

Guest Author ∙ July 15, 2011

Jailbreaking your iDevice has many benefits. One benefit is the ability to customize and make it your own by changing your lockscreen.

Jailbreak tweaks, such as Winterboard and Dreamboard, break free from these restrictions, and as such, these avenues of customization have spawned an underground community dedicated to providing beautiful, awe-inspiring themes and modifications for your iDevice.

One such example is Cardboard Cutout HD, created by tadad1. As the title of the theme suggests, the lockscreen is given a beautiful cardboard appearance...

DreamBoard for iPhone Now Free

Guest Author ∙ June 30, 2011

DreamBoard, the popular iPhone theme solution, has gone free on Cydia after previously selling for $2.99. Dreamboard is a popular Winterboard alternative that can mimic the looks of Android, Windows 7 etc.

Dreamboard works differently than Winterboard, because it doesn't require you to respring each time you switch themes, and it can achieve deep UI customizations without having to install other jailbreak applications...

Achieve Notification Nirvana Using Notified Pro and GriP Plugin for iPhone

Cody Lee ∙ May 26, 2011

In the shadow of intuitive notification systems from Palm and other competitors, the iOS push notification system is certainly lacking. Luckily there are some great utilities for us jailbroken folks to change the look and feel of your iOS notifications.

Although tweaks like MobileNotifier look promising, they don't seem quite reliable yet to handle the daily grind. But don't worry, there's still hope to bring a revamped notification system to your current device...

Forget the White iPhone 4… Here is the Blue iPhone 4

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

All this talk about the white iPhone 4 might have gotten you a little desensitized about it, no? Besides, why would you want a white iPhone 4 when you can have an even rarer deep blue iPhone 4?

As you probably have guessed by now, this is not an official color offered by Apple, but a conversion kit straight out of China. Not only this kit is original, I think it's gorgeous as well, but it obviously depends on your tastes...

Springtomize Goes Live in Cydia, Brings Extensive Customization to iOS

Alex Heath ∙ March 14, 2011

The anticipated jailbreak tweak to rule them all, Springtomize, has gone live in Cydia and is now available for purchase. We showed you a detailed preview of this awesome tweak several days ago, and now you can install Springtomize and play with it yourself.

Most jailbreak tweaks focus on one specific aspect of iOS (whether it be the status bar, dock, icons, etc.). Springtomize aims at being the one-stop shop for your tweaking needs. As far as customization is concerned, Springtomize may very well be the king of jailbreak tweaks.

‘Springtomize’ Brings an Insane Level of Springboard Customization to the iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated September 22, 2011

Okay Mr. Bigarella, you've outdone yourself this time. That's the only phrase that popped into my head upon installing Springtomize and discerning how gaudy his latest jailbreak tweak is.

There's simply no better description for Springtomize -- a jailbreak tweak that takes about 50 other jailbreak tweaks, and rolls them all into one.

In fact, there are so many options here, that it could prove to be a bit overwhelming for those just looking to add slight customizations to their iPhones.

But that's not who Springtomize is aimed at. It's aimed at those who want absolute 100% control over the look and feel of their iPhone; it does a pretty good job of doing so too...

Here is a jailbreak app that will sure make iPhone themers happy. Masks, a new application that lets you quickly and easily customize the look of your wallpaper and icons.

Up until now, the best way to customize your springboard was by using WinterBoard. While a great application, WinterBoard can be a bit cumbersome: you have to search for a theme, download it, activate it in WinterBoard, and respring. Masks takes all that away by bringing to the table a new way to tweak your iPhone springboard...

How to Make Your iPhone Look Like Windows Phone 7

Alex Heath ∙ Updated September 20, 2016

Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 platform is a step in the right direction for the industry titan. The announcement of the Windows Phone 7 OS was like a breath of fresh air after the antiquated and sluggish years of the Windows Mobile reign.

The Windows Phone 7 interface is quite unique. Microsoft had some very creative ideas when they designed the vertical, tile-like navigation in the OS. Windows Phone 7 live tiles display realtime information from apps for things like social networks and weather services.

Wyndwarrior, a jailbreak theme creator, has created a Windows Phone 7 theme for iOS. While there are other Winterboard themes that try and mimic the interface and features of Microsoft's mobile OS, Wyndwarrior's "OS7" bears a striking resemblance to the look and feel of Windows Phone 7...
