Step 1Install Summerboard

To do this you will first need a jailbroken iphone or iPod Touch. If you do not have one check out my instructable on how to do so here -->

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-jailbreak-your-1.1.4-or-lower-iPhone-or-iPo/.

First you need to install summerboard, an application that allows you install custom themes for springboard. To get to this go to installer, then to the install tab , then to the system folder to find it.

It's called Winterboard now. Us who jailbroke our iPhones/iPod Touches with redsn0w got Cydia, and we only have Winterboard. It's much better though.

So they really work? is it really free or do you have to buy other stuff?

first of all I like to say that your way of unlocking is the best I tried other ways and it never worked. but I have a problem after I install themes they do not show up when I try to choose it under the appearance and theme option, what could be wrong I have followed you instructions perfectly.
