My first question is regarding Themes (Complete). Anybody have any suggestions for a regular neat theme that uses almost all of the applications as icons in the theme? Has anybody heard of iElegence Pro which costs like 2.99? Any opinions on that theme?

Also, I just read that by doing a restore and then going back to your backup, things might look fishy like you jailbroke your phone. Is this something to worry about if I ever have to take it into AT&T? What I usually always do is restore, then restore from backup.

On themes - I can tell you this; just about all of the themes that you can find in Cydia are junk. They're nothing more than some "icons" that are just images found via a Google Images search, and perhaps a cropped version of an OS X wallpaper being used as the theme's background. If you want real, complete, and nicely done themes, look here (http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewforum.php?id=24).

On the backups - certain things that you can do when jailbroken are written into parts of the phone that become part of your backup file. The most common example of this is changes to your status bar - if you change your carrier logo, for instance, to say something like your name as opposed to your carrier, that change will be reflected if you restore the phone from the backup. If you have to take the phone into Apple or AT&T, it's always best to restore and not use the backup.

Thanks for your help and advice.

So, to make sure I am correct on this, you are saying to restore iPhone when I take it into Apple or AT&T without the backup? And, when I bring it home I can restore as backup?

Yeah, that's what I'd do. Of course, there's always a slight possibility that they'll trace a jailbreak even without the backup being restored, but it's rather unlikely.

I Personally Know Cydia Themes Are All Junk But I Like The BMW Theme.. If Your A Car Fan.. Its Nice But Slows Down The Phone A Little But Hey.. Its The Only Good One I Can Find.. Hope You Like It If You Try It Out..
