Welcome to iMod, your source for custom themes for both your iPhone and iPod. I'll show you how to install your themes, keep you up to speed on the current firmware jailbreaks, as well as create custom themes for visitors.
After a little bit of messing around lately, I have figured out a question that many people have asked me when I have sent them their custom theme: "Is there a way to install this without a computer?" Well, now the answer is a resounding YES!
EDIT: YouTube video is up, watch it here.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED TO GET FROM CYDIA TO DO THIS:
1. Safari Download Plug-In: available from the BigBoss repo.
2. iFile: also available from BigBoss.
Install both these files. iFile will show up on your springboard.
Now, open up Safari and go to your email account. Open the email with the custom theme attached, and tap on the zip file. A new window will open and give you the option to "Download" or "Play". Please make a note of the name of the file (you will be able to see it near the top of the screen, right under the address bar). Tap Download, and a progress bar will come up.
Once the file is done downloading, launch iFile. You will start off in the /var/mobile folder. Tap on Library, then scroll down to the "Downloads" folder. Find the file you just downloaded and tap it. From the menu that opens up, select "zip viewer". In the lower right corner of the screen there will be an icon, tap that and chose to extract all files. Tap Done, and you will see a new folder with the name of the theme you have been emailed. Tap edit and select the folder, then tap the icon in the lower right corner of the screen and select copy. Tap done, and then keep tapping the arrow on the top left of the screen to go back all the way to the "/" directory.
Once in the "/" directory, scroll up and select Library, then scroll all the way to the bottom and select Themes. Once there, tap edit and then the lower right icon again and select paste. Tap done, and go back to the springboard. Open up WinterBoard, and your new theme will be at the top of the list.
I hope this helps all those who need it. Thank you to all of you that have emailed me for the custom names, and I'll keep posting my theme updates and whatnot for you guys to check out.
