Dreamboard Extension FlowBoard Reinvents the User Interface on iPad

Posted by at 10:34 pm

FlowBoard-ss01

iPad users that have been patiently awaiting an iOS user interface redesign from Jonathan Ive can get a head start with FlowBoard, a new Dreamboard extension on Cydia for the jailbroken iPad and iPad mini. FlowBoard, a work of Falcon212, ditches the standard look and feel of the iPad home screen and replaces it with an absolutely gorgeous tile-based interface.

Forget everything you know about small icons in rows of four or five, as FlowBoard has large square and rectangular icons that are simple to navigate. Better yet, the tiles for Clock, Calendar and Weather serve as widgets, acting much like Live Tiles on Windows Phone. If you’re confused on how anything works, there is a built-in guide upon startup.  (more…)

iPhone Theming: How to Hide the Status Bar and Clock on Lock Screen

Posted by at 8:44 am

Lock Screen Status 2 Lock Screen Status 1

For those that like to customize their iPhone, a new jailbreak tweak called LockStatusHide was recently released to make theming a little easier for you. When coupled with Lockscreen Clock Hide, the tweaks work in unison to remove both the status bar and clock widget from the lock screen on an iPhone. The result is a fully visible wallpaper, which is great for those that prefer minimalistic lock screen setups. Both tweaks are free on Cydia.

Theme Tutorial: How to Add or Change Jaku Icons

Posted by at 3:37 pm

Jaku Icons

Jaku, the work of Canadian graphic designer William Szilveszter, is one of the most popular themes available on Cydia for iOS devices. Not only does Jaku have a pixel-perfect design, but the jailbreaking community has collaborated to release hundreds of additional custom icons for the theme. These icons can be browsed and downloaded from the Jaku Community Icons Repository. Instructions on how to add or change Jaku icons follows.  (more…)

Jaku for iPad Released

Posted by at 10:53 pm

Jaku for iPad

After several months of anticipation, Jaku for iPad has been soft launched on Cydia. This new WinterBoard theme, the work of Canadian graphic designer William Szilveszter, is inspired by the extremely popular original Jaku theme for iPhone. With a pixel-perfect icon set and other meticulously-crafted iOS elements, including the dock and notification badges, Jaku for iPad customizes nearly every aspect of the user interface.

“With the release of the new Jaku for the Retina iPad, I wanted to touch base with everyone that is flying it on their iPad,” said Szilveszter. “Firstly, thanks for the immense support. I know a ton of you have been waiting for this day and have stuck with me for over a year (flying the original Jaku for the Retina iPhone). You guys made all this possible.”

It’s important to note, however, that Jaku for iPad isn’t nearly as fleshed out as its iPhone counterpart yet. The theme doesn’t skin the lock screen, and there are custom icons missing for a number of popular apps. Nevertheless, Szilveszter is fully committed to his product — as he was with Jaku for iPhone — and will be working hard to release updates with additional icons. If you have a particular icon that you would like to request, please post its Bundle ID and icon file name in the comments section.  (more…)

iMIUI Theme Ports Popular Android ROM to iPhone

Posted by at 1:26 pm

iMIUI

MIUI is one of the most popular custom ROMs available for Android, redefining the look of the platform with an original user interface and improvements to over 200 software features. And while the iPhone is obviously incompatible with the software, several graphic designers have been working on porting the design of MIUI into an iOS theme. Last month it was Minimal MIUI, and now it’s iMIUI.

iMIUI is a MIUI V5 port on deviantART that promises to be better than the original concept on Android, or so its maker onehalfkiller claims. The theme remains a work-in-progress thus far, with the lock screen, clock widget, custom icons and Compass app redesign completed. All that remains is some work on the Phone dialer, and then iMIUI should appear on Cydia. We’ll let you know when it’s available. A video demo of MIUI V5 follows.  (more…)

Winterboard Spotlight: Sublimity Icon Set for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad

Posted by at 9:20 am

Sublimity 1 Sublimity 2

Inspired by the popular Jaku theme for iOS devices, graphic designer Richard Fayad (subywrex) has been working hard on a new custom icon set called Sublimity for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The icon set, which should appear on Cydia in the coming days, will include a base 50 customized icons and automatic app icons for other third-party apps. Fayad then plans on making biweekly or monthly updates to expand the icon set.

Sublimity will be available for all devices running iOS 6 or later, including those without Retina displays. Fayad had originally planned on having the icon set go live on Cydia at some point this weekend, but he is busy polishing off a few more icons and doing iPad testing. In the meantime, the designer has already released an iPhone wallpaper pack that will match well with this icon set. Sublimity will cost $2.00 on the Cydia Store.
