Kryptonite is a really sleek theme for your iPhone or iPod Touch. I contacted Flybritn, the theme developer, to request a copy of the theme for an exclusive iYoshiblog review. He sent us the theme, and the next day I made a YouTube video review. Click “Read More” for screenshots, and the video review. Read more…

iWhiteboard by Andy Aude was recently released on Cydia through BigBoss, and it will be used in the creation of iFile 101.

As promised, Yoshi and I have been working on our future post, iFile 101. We envision it as a guide for those who wish to possess more knowledge and control of their iDevice. It is intended to enrich the understanding of those who have some, and open the floodgates for those who have none. It is our gift back to the community, our way of saying thanks to the all the Devs that gave the “special abilities” to our devices and especially to Carstein Heinelt, the creator of iFile. We wish it to be a trusted resource and intend it to be a work in progress. We will accept written and video contributions from those who wish to add content to iFile 101, upon approval of course, and we will take requests for updates to the guide. Read more…

Everyone has favorite apps. Those that they could not live without. But what about themes? There are so many visual masterpieces to chose from on Cydia and Rock. I personally like to change my theme all the time. I have also been known to mod and mash themes together. I was recently given the gift of Pwned Elite, by its creator, Daniel Meese (@dcmeese) for this review:

.

This developer has created something special with this theme. It is not the most overboard or dramatic theme available for Winterboard, but it is simple, artistic and pays homage to the Dev Team, the iPhone OS and our favorite tech deviance, Jailbreaking.  Why is it a paid theme?  It also includes a matching SBsettings theme, Voice Control theme, Pogo Plank theme, Categories add-on pack, one of a kind mod to Doodle Jump and many extras!  The completeness and coherency of this theme is definitely worth the $1.99.

The icons are square and mostly stock designed, with a few exceptions, and Pwned Elite uses an icon mask to auto create your app store app icons, this insures that every app you download and view in the app store is themed. A very special feature for me is the dock, specially made for five icons. It is so simple, its just a black bar with 5 glowing lights, but it is elegant and perfect for those that use a five icon dock or Infinidock. It also looks fantastic when stretched in landscape mode, thanks to SBrotator. This theme completes my iPhone (for now). I will probably mod this theme eventually, but it is very well done and my new favorite.

The only things that are missing from this theme can be easily overcome:

1. Springboard strings, or custom text in the “slide to unlock” bar and notifications, etc.  This can be accomplished with MyStrings or one could copy/paste an en.iproj folder from another theme into Pwned Elite.theme/ Bundles/com.apple.springboard and “overwrite” the folder.

2. Carrier logo.  Carrier logos can be downloaded separately, or use MakeItMine, available in Cydia.

If you enjoyed this review, please support @dcmeese and purchase this package on Rock, or in Cydia from ModMyI. This theme is a must have for fans of Pwnage Tool, Pogo Plank, SBsettings and Doodle Jump. For questions and review requests, find me on Twitter @xsn0w.

This is a question I’m asked a lot so i break why the jailbreak is better into a few parts

1. you have things apple can add but for some reason doesn’t like Pogoplank, infinidock, ifile, winterboard, fontswap which are all software which apple could have installed in a firmware update but no they couldn’t (i sort of understand why apple doesn’t allow winterboard and fontswap I’m guessing not enough people to go over every theme to make sure it’s perfect)
2. but then you have things that apple will never add but not fully illegal like android lockscreen,protapper,proswitcher and those kind of things which are ideas taken from other OS’s which apple couldn’t add but again in cydia we can have them
3. these are if not fully illegal pretty close appcake,instalous,crackulous,appsync,instal0us(btw puyo was asked to stop producing product and stopped for the time being) i would say safari dl is illegal cause its downloading insted of streaming but do correct me on that if I’m wrong
