I am very confused! I want to change my signal strength icons, and I see what is posted above, but "SpringBoard.app" is an app, not a folder. How can I place the images "inside" "SpringBoard.app"??

In the file path's above they are folders just that are named *.app. That isn't the actual extension, just the name. You should be able to navigate to them like normal.
