iPhone themes/icons

[styfle]

How do I change my theme or icons on my phone?
I have used ziphone to jailbreak it and I know how to SSH into the phone.
Do I just get some pix and replace the png's on the phone?
Do I need to install an app with the installer?

Thanks in advance

Summerboard is the most popular app for this purpose, and once you've got it installed there are a lot of good themes for it under the Themes (Summerboard) category in Installer ...

yeah if you just jailbroke your phone with ziphone, then you should see that blue icon to go to the installer

once on there you can go to install > all apps > summerboard
install that and reboot your phone
then go back to the installer and there is a section called themes (summerboard)

After that you can download themes for it and just go to Smbprefs to change them

Yeah before installing summerboard, your going to have install BSD subsystem. Just an FYI. Also make sure you reset your phone after installing summerboard. That way once you download some themes and change them in summerboard they show up on your phone.
