Blog-huh?

As promised, I will give a brief tutorial on how to customize iPhone by using DiskAid for Mac and this will also serve as my personal notes (for future references). There are also other work-around on customizing iPhones with the use of Fugu or Cyberduck. The process is almost similar, the interface is different. I personally prefer to use DiskAid, since it can connect iPhones to Mac, without the presences of Wifi signal.

So far, I have SSHed the following customization:
- Sprinboard Theme (Wallpapaer/Icons/ Font)
- Slider Bar (Unlock/ Shut Off)
- Sounds (UISounds/ Text tones/ Ringtones)
- Signal Bar (changing color bars)
- Carried Logo
- Wifi Bar
- Busy Loader

Before we start iPhone must be jailbroken and updated, and initial apps like Cydia (Springboard/ Winterboard ) and Installer must be installed. The themes, slider, loader, signal bars, and others customization will be mostly shown at the Springboard/ Winterboard apps, where most of the customization will be listed and selected to use.

Lets start first with the simpliest customization.

Your iPhone’s Slider Bar will look from this


To This


Changing the Slider Bar & Power Bar:


First things first, have a 48x47 icon in “.png” file in three duplicate copies ready. This will replace the default silver sliders of your iPhone.

Download one Slider Bar from Cydia. Any Slider Bar will do, or download the “Flower Slider”. This will help you make things easy as you can Copy and Paste the file names and also, you will be Copying the file “Thumbs.db” to make the Slider Bars Structure complete.


Take a look at the image below. This will be you your guide, like a map on where you will be working around/ adding the Slider’s structure in the HD of your iPhone.




Make sure that the “Media Folder”, located at the lower left part of the DiskAid window is selected in “Root Folder”. By selecting this, a pop-up window will appear – just click “Go Ahead”.

This is important: Make SURE that the spelling of the file names are exactly the same as the original file names, except for the “Slider Bar Folder”, in this case I will name mine “Cookie Slider”.


Structure:
Library> Themes> Cookie Slider (Slider Bar Folder)> Bundles> com.apple.TelephonyUI> 4 Files

4 Files: Must have the same file names as shown at the Image below


Thumbs.db


From your Mac, create a Folder and Place the three .png Icons and the “Thumbs.db” file. Change each of the 3 .png Icons into:
bottombarknobgray.png (icon 1)
bottombarknobgreen.png (icon 2)
bottombarknobred.png (icon 3)


Now, you are ready to Copy and Paste the 4 Flies in your iPhone with the use of DiskAid.

When Pasting: Always select the DiskAid (DiskAid must be the active window). Make your windows organizes like in the picture below. Drag the files One by One. Selecting all files and dragging everything will only copy one file from the Folder to DiskAid.

When your done copying all the 4 files:

- Disconnect the iPhone from Mac.
- Open Springboard/Winterboard App and select the Folder Name of the Slider by Checking the Slider Folder.



- Press Home button


Your iPhone will go into a “Soft Respring” Mode for a few seconds and after, the Slider Bar should change into your very own personal Slider Bar Icon.


Enjoy!
