If you’ve been desperately waiting for Summerboard to be ported to firmware 2.0, you’re not alone, a clever iphone dev has replaced Summerboard with WinterBoard. Just like Summerboard, Winterboard gives you the ability to change the home screen (springboard) wallpaper, home screen icons, status bar, everything else Summerboard was able to do.
To Install:
- Fire up Cydia
- Tap on Sections
- Scroll down to Themes
- Find Winterboard and Install it
- Reboot your iPhone
In addition, Themes can be SSH’d to your iPhone to /var/mobile/Library/Summerboard/Themes. If you don’t know how to SSH into your iPhone go Here for a quick tutorial from our forum mod, killacam13.
if you need additional help ask on our forums Here.
Thanks Chunk for the tip!
Thanks for the mention. I’m slowly building my theme :D
is there a place where we can see pics of each theme so we don’t have to install theme one by one to see what they look like?
Thank god for this app. Customize was a big mess of half finished software that was pretty hard to work with. – Not that Winterboard is finished, but it works right the first time and didn’t require me to use terminal to command line hack my iphone to make things happen.
To preview, click “More Information” when viewing the theme in Cydia, just before you click install.
Most themes have a preview there.
winterboard currently does not seem to let you change the statusbar.

How do you do this. I have installed it. Rebooted my phone but for some reason – I cant get it to take. thanks

I can’t find were to download winterboard in cydia.. it’s not even on the system…wat seems to be the problem? I need help pls..
Hello, need some advice….
while updating Cydia, i got some updates… 2 actually, some app and a “mobile substrate” and I update them at the same time… and then all the iPhone was “substrated”… and have to take it to a technician friend of mine to fix it…. and he told me “don’t update anything from cydia, but if you do, BE CAREFULL”….
Now, the thing is my iPhone is back!, and im tempted to install Winterboard, because I want to have a “different look” on it!. When I press “install”, takes me to the “confirm” page… in “Modifications” appears “Mobile Substrate Winterboard”. As you can see the nightmare is there….!
Can I install the Winterboard app? or my phone will crash again, and go again to an “I.C.U.”????….
PLEASE HELP!
