Step 1: Install 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.

what theme is used above?? whats the name?

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.

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.
