SummerBoard
Note: if you have a 2.0 iPhone and have Cydia installed, try WinterBoard which is now the new version of SummerBoard for newer iPhone/iPod touch users.
Have tons of native 3rd party apps on your iPhone? If so you are probably running out of space on your iPhone springboard (your iPhone homescreen). The Summerboard native iPhone app that enables scrolling on the springboard for your iPhone, so now you have unlimited space for native apps. Download and install SummerBoard via either Installer.app or iBrickr depending on your OS.
Below is a video demo of SummerBoard:
Summerboard now supports themes and they are now available for via installer.app. Some of them include: Oren, Phiberglass, JrWallace, and two variations of Tiger. You can also develop your own themes. Here is another example theme called colorGrid iPhone. SummerBoard themes are designed to be easy to make and reside on your iPhone. When making a SummerBoard theme, you name the PNG by what the app name looks like on the home screen, so for example: even though Photos and Camera are theoretically in the same app, you name the files Photos.png and Camera.png. Here is what the folder paths look like in /var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes/. You have a folder per theme with the following structure:
ThemeName/StatusBar.png - Status bar image (optional, 320×20 PNG, no alpha)
ThemeName/Wallpaper.png - The wallpaper (320×480 PNG, no alpha)
ThemeName/Dock.png - The dock image for the large dock (320×91 PNG, alpha)
ThemeName/MiniDock.png - The dock image for the mini dock (320×37 PNG, alpha)
And your icons (optional, 59×60 PNG, alpha) go in: ThemeName/Icons/
Use iPhone mods and hacks at your own risk! Installing 3rd Party iPhone apps requires you to jailbreak the iPhone before installing the native software and apps. You can use Installer.app for Mac OSX and iBrickr for Windows PC to do this. Browse the full list of all iPhone and iPod touch native 3rd party apps filed under the software category.
Here is how to manually Upload New SummerBoard Themes that you find online:
- Install OpenSSH then install BSD Subsystem from Installer.app
- Find your iPhone’s IP address: Go to the Home Screen > Settings > Wi-Fi > [Your Wi-Fi]. Look for the DHCP IP address. (Something like 192.168.1.10 etc.) This depends on the Wi-Fi network you are connected to at the time.
- Disable Auto locking on your iPhone to make sure the device doesn’t fall sleep while you try to FTP to it. Settings > General > Auto-Lock > Never
- Open up any FTP program (FileZilla for Windows, or CyberDuck for Mac) and create a new connection to your iPhone.
Host: [THE IP ADDRESS]
User: root
Password: (The default for versions 1.0.2 and earlier is dottie. Default for version 1.1.1 is alpine - Browse to the folder /private/var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes/ and upload the entire folder for the theme you have downloaded to the Themes folder on your iPhone.
- Go to SummberBoard via the SMBPrefs button on the Home Screen. Go to Themes and you will see the Theme you just uploaded. Select it.
- For best results make sure settings for Theme Wallpaper, Theme Status Bar, Theme Icons and Theme Dock are all set to ON.
- Go back to your Home Screen. Voila! you will see the new Theme applied to your iPhone.
Get it via Installer.app or iBrickr

I was using DockSwap and I liked it. But once I installed SummerBoard, it screwed up DockSwap. Now the background image for the dock is not there. I have tried uninstalling SummerBoard and it is still not there. I have also gone back into DockSwap and selected what background image I wanted and it will not show up.
Anyone else have these problems and if so, have you been able to fix it?
i have a problem i am using ibrikr but now when i want to install or uninstal any apllication i can´t, and i dont know what to do….plaese y need help.
I found this app wonderful. Unfortunately I have experienced several major crashes since I installed it.
Problems: (Summerboard is armed and running on firmware 1.0.2)
When I tried to jump back to main menu from Ipod (horizontal) graphical album flipping screen, sometimes it crashes my ipod and I need to do a recovery reboot.
No crashes has happened when jumping back to main main from any other apps so far or even Ipod in SONG list, movie mode or other text based (vertical) screen.
Anyone experience the same problem as I do?
Richard, I have the same problem with Summerboard/Springboard crashed when returning from the horizontal album view. Is there a way to track these bugs with the Sumerboard dev team?
I would like to see a continuation of the topic
You can find a clear tutorial on how to install and configure the latest version of SummerBoard here:

my summer board theme will not change can anyone help? I am running a jailbroken 1.1.2 iPod touch
I love that Summerboard permits scrolling on homescreen. A common problem I’m experiencing, however, is that when I return to home screen from holding or an app. the screen sometimes turns entirely black except for the top line (the line that includes the signal, provider, time and battery). My only recourse is to restart the phone. It gets a little frustrating at times. Is anyone else encountering such issues or knows how to fix it?
Can i use this app to swap “icon”, is there any suggestion which app have this function?? many thanks
i just re hacked everything. i accidently upgraded t 1.1.3 and now im back to a jailbroken 1.1.2..BUT summerboard is not on the list in installer and it is not on the “instlalled” list either…HELP!!!!
I’m having the same problems! Can’t find summerboard in installer. I restored to 1.1.2 then jailbroke.
I have downloaded a wide variety of applications sources and SummerBoard does not appear ANYWHERE on my installer either.
It’s a cool app, but I’m wary of re-installing it because so many people have had crashing problems with it, including myself.

Instead of downgrading your firmware guys just upgrade to 1.1.3 and use ziphone to jailbreak it. It work great and it allows you to keep the cool features from the update as well.
hey can u get this to work with 1.1.4
I can’t install summerboard 2.11 thru iBrick because Installer 3.0 blocks the PXL. But at the same time i can’t uninstall installer 3.0? help!
i kept reading about installing install.pxl thru iBrick PXL install function, but it doesnt seem to work. is it because my Installer 3.0 is still therE? how can i uninstall Installer 3.0? it was installed orig by iBrick but it wasnt 3.0 at the time. i think thats why iBrick cannot uninstall it now.
hey, im currently using 1.0.2. i tried downloading summerboard from the site suggested by zaf. . . but it never seems to work . . .and so does the summerboard (old) on installer . . it there any other way i could possibly get this to work??

cant someone who has it just put it on a file hosting website so we can all download it?
Hello,
My name is Kyle, I decided to take the time and create my own Iphone/Ipod Touch Summerboard theme, The theme mainly reflects the Microsoft running system Vista… Now im sure that your thinking (if you actually read this) that there are already enough Microsoft Vista Themes out there, made, and published into the Installer. I also would agree with you, but, almost all of them don’t work and those that do in my opinion are awful. Not saying that the one I created is perfect either but I do think it stands out from the others.
Below are two screenshots of the theme.
If anyone would like me to send them this theme so they can put it on there Touch or Iphone (Via E-mail) hit me up with an E-mail entitled “Touch Theme”
Also help me get the theme onto the Installer so everyone can have it! Just copy and paste the picture everywhere you can think of!
Thank you very much…

sorry guys i cant send anything cause my comp got reformated and just this week my Iphone got stolen…sucks like hell.miss my iphone =”(
How can you leave your iphone unattended in public?? Everyone steals them. EVERYONE and immediatley. A nun would steal an unattended iPhone. You might as well leave an blank check unattended. Come on fellas wisen up.
I dont bother downloading apps that distort/reform your original display/system structure. Even if it works fine, there still may be code complications with existing software and conflicts with future apps. Just not a good idea in general.
My 2 fav apps right now are
Navizon and iLog, but I’ve just starting getting into it
I also have several sources for cracked apps that you would otherwise have to pay for. If anyone needs them I will email ya.
hey i m using iphone3g …can i install it without unlocking the phone
how do you get it?
no, you need to first unlock your 3G. use quickPWN 2.2 even a cave man can do it.
