I almost hate to ask this, but you do have SummerBoard installed, don't you?

And the themes are in /private/var/mobile/Library/SummerBoard/Themes, are they not.

If all that checks out then it should work.

Good luck

Yes, I have summerboard installed,and yes to the next step, the problem is when I go into smb prefs and go to themes, it shows, when I click the theme I want to install, it doesn't load for some reason.

And you recycled the power?

I hate to suggest this, but you may have to restore, and rejailbreak.

A bit of advice, you might want to save your existing themes, and simpley upload them after you rejailbreak. I've incurred this before, and it saves a ton of time.

damn, i had to do all of that yesterday because of snapture, all of my themes are on my hard drive I was just trying to install 1 to make sure it worked, and of course it didn't, I've done everything that I was told to do,and the themes just won't work, checked to make sure the themes were set right,wallpaper and docks outside the icons folder and all, this is really frustrating. I'll try again, have you ever used iLiberty? just asking because that may be my next try

[michael180]

I know nothing of iLiberity. I've been where you are many times. I try many things on my phone, and as a result, I often lock it up. What I've learned is to throughly research each and every app I install.

Restore your phone as a new phone, jailbreak it, and install the basics; BSD, OpenSSH, SummerBoard, etc.

Then once you can write to the phone via OpenSSH, start uploading your themes. And pay particular attention to the apps you install.

Good luck

Okay, this is all I have loaded into the phone:Bsd subsystem v2.1, Installer v3.11, Open Ssh v4.6p1-2, and Summerboard v3.2, I hate being a pain, but like I said this is very frustrating. Can you think of anything i should add? I also added your source, the one you told me to install.When you have the time, could you please explain step by step how to d/l and install a theme. I would like to put 1 on my phone.

There's two methods of installing themes. You can install a theme from the installer. That will give you the theme exactly as it was created.

The second method and the one I prefer is to manually install the theme from your computer. With this method you can mod the theme as you wish.

I would recommend the first method until you get comfortable is OpenSSH.

Try it, you can't screw up anything. The worst you can do is lock up the phone, and you can always get out of that.

Good luck

You open Installer, and go to Install packages. You can look for the theme you want, or you can do a search if know the name of the theme. Simple.
