Each of the following mods use WinterBoard to enable/disable them. The first two I would like to mention are themes; Orange Burst and ubuntu. Neither theme seems to have a ton of icons but, if you are looking to just give your main SpringBoard page a new look, ...

Available In: Cydia Price: Free Backgrounder is “A Mobile Substrate-based extension that allows applications to run in the background.” Basically it is an application (similar to Insomnia) that allows applications to run in the background…meaning after you close the application it will continue to run.

Available In: App Store Price: $1.99 I’ve been waiting for this application for a while but I have to say I’m pretty disappointed with it.

It ...

The main reason is the directory path has changed to mobile from root. I’m also updating the link to convert the file to XML. It’s not easy, so be ready to spend a few minutes on this one: ...
