While we might not see a free version of SummerBoard, one of the most highly-anticipated jailbroken apps, iPhone customization-junkies are turning to an alternative: WinterBoard.
For those of you who don’t know what SummerBoard is, it’s an application that runs in the background of your iPhone and allows you to easily apply pre-made and custom themes that you can download directly from Installer / Cydia. The themes can have customized elements such as icons, backgrounds, title bars, docks, etc..
SummerBoard was created by a company named Nullriver (also the original creators of the famous Installer.app or Apptapp Installer, as well as the controversial Netshare App). Nullriver licensed the rights of SummerBoard, and Installer, to a new company called RIP Dev. RIP Dev has an application you can purchase ($45 for an unlimited subscription) that now has a more advanced feature-set of SummerBoard included (called FaceLift). The application is called Kate.
For those of us who have no money, and wish to have SummerBoard style theming anyway, Saurik (the creator of Cydia) has blessed us with WinterBoard. WinterBoard is an open source application that promises to apply any SummerBoard theme, as well as allow for some new amazing effects (ie. animated/changing backgrounds, theming batteries, sliders, etc.).
Here, I’ll walk through installing WinterBoard and downloading a theme from Cydia to apply to the iPhone Springboard. I’ll also show you a few of the different variations of theming that can be applied using WinterBoard.
Walkthrough
1. Download WinterBoard from Cydia
2. *** RESTART YOUR PHONE ***
In order for WinterBoard to work correctly you MUST restart your phone after installation. To do this hold down the power button until the “slide to power off” slider appears. Power off the phone, and then press the power button again to turn it back on.
3. Open WinterBoard
Tap the WinterBoard icon on the Springboard.
3. Apply Selected Theme(s)
WinterBoard comes with a few built in themes. One is Saurik’s own to show off changing backgrounds and other elements that WinterBoard is capable of. I say ‘Theme(s)’ in the title of this step because WinterBoard allows you to apply multiple themes at one time. For instance, you might apply one of Saurik’s themes and also want ‘Transparent Icon Labels’. You could select both, and elements from both would be applied to your Springboard.
4. Download Custom Themes From Cydia
Now that we’ve verified theming is working ok, let’s try a custom theme from Cydia. I noticed an NBA theme, so being a basketball fan I’ll use that for this example.
- Open Cydia
- Tap ‘Sections’
- Tap ‘Planet-iPhones Mods’
- Install ‘NBA Theme’
- Open WinterBoard
- Uncheck everything
- Check NBA-Theme
- Exit WinterBoard
5. Applying Multiple Themes
I mentioned earlier you could apply multiple themes to combine elements. Let’s try adding Saurik’s theme to the NBA-Theme. We should get Saurik’s Background and Dock and NBA-Theme’s Icons.
- Open WinterBoard
- Leave NBA-Theme Checked
- Check Saurik
- Press Home to return to the Springboard
Ok, I admit it’s a really bad example as these two themes look hideous together, however it does show the power of WinterBoard compared to the original SummerBoard.
6. Remove All Themes
If you want to return the phone to a stock look, simply open WinterBoard and uncheck all themes.
Summary
Though I think WinterBoard represents just the beginning of the functionality it will provide in the future, it is already a very stable and usable application. Saurik is updating it regularly, and as you can see above, applying themes is relatively easy and straightforward. You can install/apply any SummerBoard theme, as well as new WinterBoard themes.
If you are on a budget and don’t want to spring for ‘Kate’ ($45), then this is definitely the solution for you. As usual this requires a jailbroken phone, and a desire to have an original looking phone.
Happy Theming!!
We missed something? Having trouble? Let us know below!
Finally, a way to make my iPhone look bad! Sweet!
@Caleb: haha I side w/ you, though I have found a few nice themes. Personally I’m a fan of iGlassSol found in Cydia
Hey i’ve tried installing and re-installing winterboard dozens of times now and it still isn’t working. I’ve tried multiple combinations of themes and it still doesnt work. help!
same here man idk what the problem is im new at jailbreak exc but im learning fast, and as far as i can tell my ipod just aint working with winterboard whenever i try to start up a theme i close it and nothing at all changes…. tryed reinstaling and everything and nothing helps
I have downloaded winterboard PLENTY of times and it still wont work. i kno im new to jailbreaking but i kno alot about it. Evry time i install a theme and put acheck mark by it and wait a few seconds, click the home screen it goes to the lock screen i unlock it and it is the same boring them HELLLLLPPP!!!
Turn your phone off by holding home and power button. Then it’s sure to work, I had the same problem, didn’t know i had to turn off my phone until I read this post.
hey i downloaded winterboard and when ever I click on one of the themes and hit the home buttonit starts loading then locks and when I go back in its the same normal black background and screen. If I turn my ipod off I have to restore my ipod so I dont know what to do. what should I do??
Thanks Teka!:) it works perfectly!
I ended up installing a couple of the wallpaper packages but ran into difficulties. After I switched back and forth a couple of times between images, the wallpaper defaulted to my original wallpaper image and wouldn’t change. The original image I had was a photo in my library, after deleting it and restarting the phone I now have a totally black wallpaper. Toggling the settings or the winterboard “User Wallpaper” option doesn’t do anything. However, applying a theme still changes the wallpaper behind the icons, but not my lock screen. Any suggestions?
Great step-by-step guide. This is working great and now my iPhone doesn’t look like everyone else. Thanks!
@Brett
I had similar troubles with an application called Customize. It seems like using apps to alter wallpapers (both lock screen and springboard) generally ends in something like this for some people. If you are looking for an application that is good with wallpapers, I suggest Kate/RiP Dev. You can get it from Cydia. It’s a very simple app that installs a section to the bottom of your settings and offers some pretty neat customizability. Hope this helps.
@Shnorb
Thanks, I’ll check it out later today =D
@Brett: If it’s the same problem that was happening w/ customize then it’s likely an issue w/ permissions on the background file of the theme. Try installing mobile Terminal and running the following command
rm -rf /var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.jpg
The command is case sensitive
@Nic + Shnorb
Installed Kate (after many bad urls [needed to reset network settings to get it downloaded]) and attempted to change the lock background to no avail. Seems the only thing I can do is turn the background on (to the single non-changing image I’ve had for awhile) or off (black screen).
I navigated the phone using DiskAid and deleted both theLockbackground.jpg and some special Kate related lock screen that was also in that directory. Now all I have is a black lock screen, it’s incapable of being changed either by using Kate or the default settings panel. After deleting the file and then changing the wallpaper using the default method a new LockBackground.jpg appears but doesn’t appear to update. Perhaps this problem is more serious than I’m imagining.
@Brett: try removing winterboard and see if this rectifies the problem (remember to restart the phone after removing winterboard)
Removed both Kate and Winterboard, restarted many times, deleted LockBackground.jpg on several occasions and nothing. Looks like I might have to restore.
Reinstalled Winterboard and things surprisingly seem to be working. Thanks for all your help guys =D
@Brett: Glad everything worked out.. you had me worried. I hate when users have to restore based on trying one of our tutorials
How i can made my own Winterboard Theme?
@blumikus3d
SEARCH google.ca or browse some iPhone forum sites, there’s LOTs of tutorials! Good luck
hi, i have a problem,i have already installed cydia,but i can’t find winterboard in it, i have look for it in the search option and nothing, am really new in this, so it would be helpful if you give me a hand thanx everyone there.
The one thing you didn’t go into is how to delete a theme you downloaded from Cydia from your winterboard list. Is there a way to do this without having to download OpenSSH?
Try downloading iPhone Browser for windows and install it. Next launch the program and click Locations–>Wionterboard Themes. From there, find the theme to remove and delete the them. Hope this helps.
i installed iphone browser, i goto the loaction> winterboard themes , then it gives me a prompt that there is no library and asks if i have jailbroken it correctly, i thought i did, i can use all me cracked apps and uses the themes i downloaded directly from winterboard , but cant gain acess to that folder, any ideas ??
Can’t get winterboard to work :/
When I install it (& restart phone) I get an empty screen when I open winterboard.
DON’T BOTHER ASKING ANY QUESTIONS.
THIS @#$! WON’T ANSWER!!!
@ricardo: You may have selected the wrong kind of user filter for your applications in cydia. Select Manage at the bottom, and then Settings on the top left, and then select Developer, this will take out all filters. Search should then show WinterBoard (if you type winterboard it is near the bottom of the list.
@mto: To remove a theme you should be able to just make sure it is unselected in winterboard, and then remove the package from Cydia (manage, -> packages -> select the theme you installed from the list -> click modify at the top -> remove)
@Lio: Did you download any themes from Cydia? You may have a corrupt installation fo WinterBoard as well… go into Cydia, goto Manage at the bottom, Packages, find WinterBoard in the list, click Modify on the top right, Reinstall. Then restart the phone again (after it completes)
@Name: We have a great track record of responding to users questions, and comments, I’ve been out for the last few days moving, and haven’t got a chance to keep up. What was your question that was never responded to?
i tried reinstalling winterboard but it stills doesnt work..what should i do???
i tried reinstalling winterboard…and when i wanted to uninstall it..i couldn’t find it under cydia/manage…am i doing something wrong??
Im just installing winterboard now but its said (in cyida) “rebooting spirngboard” for the past two hours now. Should I Power my iPod Off? Will this cause any damage
@AJ: You should be able to hold down power+home for 10 seconds and have it reboot. It may take 5 minutes or so to reboot. If it gets stuck on the boot logo (pineapple) then you’ll have to restore. It’s an issue w/ apple’s SpringBoard and having too many apps installed at once, it has happened to me without jailbreaking numerous times.
@shhhh: when you search for winterboard does it come up in the list?
@jas: try restoring your phone, I’ve never seen it do what you’re describing.
when i open up my winterboard nothing comes up just a blank screen? What to do? Has anyone else had this problem?
@Mike D: I haven’t experienced this problem, sounds like an installation issue w/ winterboard, an update was released today or yesterday, try upgrading, make sure you restart the phone afterward. If this doesn’t work I can only recommend a restore as I did for jas up above.
i accidentally deleted the themes folder and now i dont have the default winterboard things like “User Wallpaper” can anyone please please upload the original winterboard themes folder.. please
Thanks
@yunus: You should be able to go into Cydia, go Manage -> Packages -> WinterBoard -> Modify -> Reinstall… That should download the winterboard package and reinstall everything it came with
How do I get this on my jailbroke iphone 3g?
I have cydia and Installer 4 installed on the phone, but when I nagivate to “featured packages > winterboard … I get this message:
“ the package winterboard cannot be found in your current sources. I might recommend installing more sources.”
Even when I do a search for it, there is not listing of this App under “All Packages”
Can anyone help me resolve this issue.
thanks
I also tried everything already and all I get is a blank winterboard, tried reinstalling it, restoring everything, and nothing…
UPDATE:
*MUST DISCONNECT FROM ITUNES BEFORE DOWNLOADING AND RESTARING PHONE
I tried to do it once I was away from my computer and it worked, I can’t believed I spent hours in the computer trying to figured it out.
@Edd: I have tested both connected to the computer and disconnected, and have had no issues. “RESTARTING THE PHONE” is important, but is also covered in the tutorial above (#2 in Red/Bold)
@Bernard: In Cydia make sure you install all available updates, restart cydia, and then goto search and type WinterBoard. Toward the bottom of the list in the W’s you will find it.
hi. I need some help. I have obviously jailbroken my phone and have cydia and winterboard and I am also using an application called customize. My lock screen is stuck on a picture that I can’t change at all. Tried everything but it seems to be locked on the one picture. I have read a few posts on the net and most people referred to something called openssh and then deleting sumtn called lockbackgroung. Can someone give me instructions in what to do as I am really sick of my picture that is on the lock screen, thanks.
Hi
I am trying to figure out the way on installing the battery icons. I have installed 2 icons from Cydia under the Themes(battery) sections. The two being 3D gauge and the other one NOS battery. They appear in Winterboard and checking or unchecking them makes no difference. They still dont appear anywhere on the phone.
Please help.
@Rajat: Battery icons refer to the large battery on the phone when you plug it into an outlet for charging. I tried installing the NOS battery and it shows up just fine for me. Plug your phone into the wall (and only check one of the battery themes in winterboard)
@Zoey: Please refer to comment #8 above for instructions on deleting lockbackground
I have the same problrm with black screen. How ti remove Winterboard manualy via SSH?

how do i get rid of the lock background picture???
I removed and reinstalled winterboard. It only came with BlackJainDim and Neurox Leopard but nothing else. I downloaded many other themes and none of them show up in it.
Has anyone solved the problem to those with the blank winterboard? I’ve checked blogs and this does seem to be an issue, but with no concrete solution, even with the newest winterboard update. After every step with reinstall and restart you come up with the same result. blank winterboard with no themes, and any added after install dont show up. Does anyone have a solution for this either through SSH or otherwise without having to do a restore?
me too… I could not see the theme i installed from cydia on my winterboard. Pls help…

I can’t see the winterboard install icon whenever i go under featured, or the search tab, i’ve even looked under section > System and winterboard is nowhere to be found. Is it bugged up or something ? Please e-mail me if you know the answer. Thanks alot !! I really want to get my themes up
I have downloaded a number of themes and tried adding them through WinSCP but only 2 actually show up. Does anyone know how to fix this. Could it be that they were from Summerboard or a different firmware and need to be updated or something?
Downloaded from modemyi.com or theme your iphone and I can only get Dew to work.
@Kimberly: What folder did you add them to on the phone? If you add the themes to the /Library/Themes folder they should appear in winterboard w/ no problem.
I downloaded winterboard and some themes and nothing I apply works. The only change I have seen is that slide to unlock button changing. Help plz?
You HAVE to restart your iPod/ iPhone thats what my problem was….
Same problem with me…. none of the themes i downloaded seems to work, not even the built in themes like saurik. Plz help。・°°・(((p(≧□≦)q)))・°°・
I too have downloaded winterboard, but mine came with no themes already installed.
I downloaded IGlassSol and have checked it in my winterboard icon, however it doesnt seem to have any effect on my iphone theme?
Have i done something wrong?
Hi there….firstly thanks for this wonderful tutorial….I am getting this msg on my desktop in small fonts…..
This doesn’t really do anything yet, but it did get loaded off the server ;P (Awesome, huj?)
Also, to let you know that I have jailbroken my iphone with 2.1 firmware…..Thanks
I have winter board, and its pretty cool but personilly i like customize 2.0 from when i had 1.1.4 WAY better!its so much more orgenized and u can see what your going to pick, it has a preview. in winterboard after downloading alot of themesit gets crammed; so u cant see what your installing. also some themes overpower others so you cant really fully customize it =( customize 2.0 (1.1.4) was the best!!! i wish winterboards’ set-up wasn’t a list; I wish they had the same set up like customize, each theme( summerboard,sliders,battery,ETC.) was in there own folder.well thats my thought .
everytime i try download winterboard from cydia from the all packages > winterboard, it downloads for a while, then i have to restart the springboard before it seems like it is done. after i restart my springboard, no winterboard icon is there. i restart my phone, still no winterboard icon appears. i then went to check to see if it actually installed through cydia management. no winterboard was listed…whats the deal?
im going to write back that i think i have resolved my issue by turning off my auto-lock on my keypad. it seemed that when my phone springboard locked it would try restart springboard and cancel my downloading and installation process. so theres a tip for some peeps that are trying to download winterboard on a 2.2 firmware jailbroken phone – turn off your auto keypad lock!
thNKA THt helped

What’s the source url to find the winterboard app on? It’s not showing up in my searches on cydia.
hi i am Using installer 4.0 i am new to iphone i want to know how can i installe theme in my phone… using installer 4.0
Does anyone know a source that contains winterboard ? Every time u try to install it it says I can’t, I don’t have enough sources? I added some but none work !
Help me
Hi there all, i’ve recently begun using winterboard, and am loving it, but i was wondering if there is a way to only apply portions of a theme. One that i am using i like but i hate what it does to the icons and lockscreen. Back in customize, you could choose to only apply certain aspects of a theme. Is that possible in winterboard?
hey for some reason it won’t let me see winterboard it says like in the beggining when
I open Cydia that its in it but when I search for it
its not there is there a source? Please reply
Hey, im getting the same problem as many people as i read the comments. Is there anyway to fix the blank screen on winterboard? i can get the icon to appear but the original themes and the themes i have downloaded do not show.
ya me too i have the same problem the winterboard is blank nothing in it
My problem with winderboard is that some of the pictures for my apps icons dont show up they r just boxes that either get filled in with a picture from the theme or they just stay a blank box is there a way 2 keep the original app picture??
same thing for me, i have read all 82 comments, tried uninstall, resinstall, restarting and still
Blank Screen.
Thanks
Experiencing same problem as “eatgg” and several others complaining above.
have tried the “uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reboot” method with no success. could the app “categories” be conflicting with winterboard? I imagine their are a number of apps that conflict with winterboard. Someone should really look into that aspect. One thing I’ve heard is that “customize” app conflicts with winterboard
Solution: Restore iPhone to factory defaults, re-jailbreak, download winterboard & theme first, then put back everything else you had.
this worked for me and only took an hour and a half to restore all my apps/ music. If you really want the themes, it’s worth the effort
where can i download winterBoard?
I need help!!!
i bought a $300 application in the app store. it’s called Lexi Complete from lexicomp… it’s a drug program for pharmacists and others. the interaction program, which compares medications to see pf there is any problems if you take them together, does not work. the seller said they don’t support jailbroken iphone… so as not to violate apple’s licensing agreements.
I don’t know how to contact cydia for possible help because there seems to be some incompatibility with winterboard, the program says the springboard is not compatible…
where do i get a fix?
ketzazu, that seems to be a no brainer. get rid of winterboard. $300 app > winterboard. you’ll just have to live without the customization
this is gay you know i tried to do this and it’s fuccccktup

Hey , I Installed Winterboard from my Computer as an ipa file
and i Installed a lot of themes but I tried them all and the springboard is
black , any Help ? plz
A solution that just worked for me when i got the “black screen” and couldn’t change back:
Black screen at the “lock-screen”, nothing mentioned that i read here could get it back to normal.. (read about half the comments on this page)..
Did not work to reinstall winterboard or anything, i did see my pic come up for a split second when restarting my Iphone but then it was black again which means it’s under there for some reason just with a black screen above it.. BUT as a last try i started removing the themes i installed one by one.. and when i got to the one i tried to mix with the most it came back just like that..
So if the methods someone mentioned above didn’t work then try this.. might work for you too
I love it when a 5 year old weiner slides in and out of my poophole while I check out my custom made winterboard themes!
Yeah like that really adds to the discussion here.

If you get the ‘connect to iTunes’ message, simply re-jailbreak your phone, then sync so that you can later restore with the new settings….
Sometimes, when my phone dies because I haven’t charged it, I will get the ‘connect to iTunes’ message again. I just keep re-jailbreaking through blackra1n.com …
when I try to conect w/ blac ra1n it wont let me.
dont use black rain use use redsnow 0.9.3 works great no problems even when phone goes dead

gee thanks! now it made me reboot mine again and i lost everything! THANKS A WHOLE FUCKING LOT!

hey, i have a 3.1.2 ipod touch and when ever i install winter board i cant see the winterbaord app when you press home like and on cydia it doesnt say winterboard anywhere, and when i plug it in it want to be restored and keeps going to recoevery mode constanly, and i have to put everything back on and the same thing keeps happening over and over again.
basicly wht am i dong wrong
ok, i know this is common, but what is it with my springboard? everything i mean everything works except that the springboard background remains black. i have tried multiple themes and i checked if the background.png is in them, which it is. once i installed winterboard, i did reboot my ipod touch. sounds. lockbackrgound, icons, colors, bar on top, u name it, everything works but the spring board background, which is dissapointing because the 2 coolest themes i have r a mac os x one and a windows vista one, and without the background it just doesnt look like a pc or mac. HELP!!!!!!!!!!
@everyone. if you have an ipod touch 3g 32/64gb, its a tethered jailbreak so instead of restoring after a shutdown, you have to rejailbreak it.
appadvioce.com, how do you do it?
