Howdy, by request I'll be hosting my own Installer Source to see how things fare with my host. Theres only a few things there at the moment, but I do plan on putting more things up over time. Mostly the stuff I've previously released, icons etc, but with an easier way to install them
Note: All the hosted packages on my source are for 1.1.3 iPhones unless stated otherwise in the title and description.
Add this to your Sources:

Clean Springboard i.e. No Icons? Try Blank App
If you'd like to have a clean Springboard like the one pictured below, install Blank App. This blank app acts as a place holder so you can create what appears to be a blank page. Because it's "invisible" you'll have to tap around to find it at first, which is why I made a splash screen heh. If you're having trouble finding it, try tapping after the last icon on your springboard, or install another program after Blank App, so that the new app will show up after Blank app's invisible icon alerting you to it's location.
Simon999 (Garf Theme)
TTR Colors Theme

I'll be adding a VW theme next.

I'm saving my 999th post for something "in the air" so until then I won't be posting on x999x
I added this source to my installer
Are these even yours?
Before I started sleuthing around I thought I'd have a go at looking at the source of the modmyifone and polarbearfarm sources. After examining both for a while I started to see a pattern forming, and realized this is just a Plist renamed to XML.
If you're familiar with Plists, then you should be right at home here, all you're really doing is setting up keys and their strings.
Some important things to note is that Installer has a bit of a fail-safe, this took me about an hour to figure out, lol. This fail-safe is basically the byte size of your zip file, if the one you define in the Plist under <size> does not actually match the byte count of the zip file it downloads you'll receive an error in Installer, either a Download Failed! or a Main Script Execution Error! (or something along those lines). I recommend uploading your zip files, then using CyberDuck to "get info" on them, followed by copy and pasting the byte count from that popup window into your plist. Also, do not use a comma in your byte size value, it should just read a number like "118345".
Click the link on the Source thats listed above in Safari, then view the source code on the page it brings you to. You'll see my plist and the keys I set to get everything to work.

John -- There's a nice step by step guide over at MMI (that is, if you can get the page to even load...the load time on the site can be unbearable sometimes):

Thanks Enigmanic!
Also, I've just sorted out how to do more with installer and can now update files and then replace them with their originals if uninstalled. That said, I've added a new iAno and NES icon to the sourceI've got a few more NES icons to put up with different themes, but thought I'd start off with Donkey Kong
Your stock icons are backed up, and then restored when you decide to uninstall any of the icons hosted on my source.

x666x,
I love all the icons you've made so far (I currently use your iAno and TTR ones). You should definitely put more up on your source. I've been looking for better ones to replace Domino and PockeyMoney. (I hate it when the default icons arent square...it totally messes up my theme).
Thanks again Enigmanic,
And I totally agree on preferring the icons to stick to square shapes, the uniformity just goes in line with the clean aesthetics of the phone imho.
As for the other icons, I've moved to a different computer from when I first made most of the icons I did, so I'll be posting what I can find as I dig it up off the other machine.
I've got a Final Fantasy themed icon for NES on the way, as well as the TTR theme/icons from a while back also.

x666x - thanks for the theme and blank app icon. I learned how to use WinSCP and Putty trying to add these before you added them the installer app. Now I know how to add and move files around thatnks to you.
