WINTERBOARD FOR iOS 5

Posted by VdoCity Friday, October 21, 2011

http://www.iphonehint.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/winterboard.pngThe basic reason why people jailbreak their devices IOS because the jailbreak, and provides free device "walled garden" of Apple, allowing users to fully customize the way the device works and IOS looks like.
To change the way it works, you can install a variety of settings Cydia (call it the "App Store for jailbroken devices"), which we cover here in Redmond Pie regularly. However, to change the way it looks, you need an application called WinterBoard that, today, has been updated with support for iOS 5.

The news comes from iSurenix - a graphic designer who is a respected developer of settings and themes for jailbroken IOS devices - in a tweet sent a couple of hours confirming that the latest version of WinterBoard (0.9.3901) supports iOS 5.

From Twitter:

WinterBoard (0.9. 3901) is now fully compatible with IOS 5. Many, thank you very much to @ saurik for their hard work! pic.twitter.com/RB8rTRC7

For the uninitiated, WinterBoard is a third party application developed by Jay Freeman saurik that lets you completely customize your Springboard IOS. If you think you can change the look of a component in IOS, there is a strong possibility that an issue or set a user interface based on WinterBoard has you covered.

Although this post is actually supposed to focus on the 5-WinterBoard IOS compatibility update, I would like to mention DreamBoard - an alternative to WinterBoard. Both theming systems are, well, is supposed to customize the way your IOS device is, but they work differently. WinterBoard allows you to adjust the user interface component by component, as it applies DreamBoard all subjects but do not let you make small changes that can WinterBoard.

Anyway, back to WinterBoard: must be in an IOS device to jailbreak if you want to install it. You can follow our step by step guide posted here to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod touch in IOS 4.3. 5 Redsn0w using (or PwnageTool) or using IOS Redsn0w 4.3.3, PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze and JailbreakMe (the latter is easier). To jailbreak Redsn0w iOS 5 tied with (or Sn0wbreeze).

WinterBoard is a free / modify and can be downloaded from Cydia for free.
