How to set Hello Kitty theme on your iPhone – tutorial!
I’ve received lots of comments and e-mails askin’ me how to set Kitty-chan iPhone theme on your device… due I’m not a genius of technology, I made a lil search around the web to explain it in the easiest way possible!
I found out this complete tutorial (on IPhoneThemeGallery) that I’m sure’ll help you all!
The theme require your iPhone to be jailbroken, and it requires an intermediate knowledge of FTP/SSH, as you have to “install” the theme yourself!
First of all, please ensure the following is available to you on your iPhone and computer:
Steps to prepare your computer and iPhone:
- From your iPhone you will need to ensure that you have enabled SSH, as well as grabbing your WIFI network IP address. To view this you can go into settings, then into wifi. Click on the SSID of your network, and it will show an IP (eg: 192.168.1.103)
- Now you’ll want to open up your SSH app (WinSCP or Cyberduck) and enter in the following values in their appropriate fields
- File Protocol: SCP (WinSCP) or SFTP (Cyberduck)
- Hostname: Your iPhones IP address
- Username: root
- Password: alpine
- You may then press enter to log in, and then you’ll want to answer Yes/Accept for the key prompt.
- Once you have logged in, you will need to navigate to the /root/ folder.
- Then you will navigate to the /library/, then into the /themes/ directory.
- From there you will drag the folder of your theme which has the theme contents, into the /themes/ directory.
- To activate the theme you will need to open up Winterboard, and then look for your theme’s name.
- Once you select your theme, just exit the app and the springboard will restart, and voila, your new theme will be up!
