Foxkeh theme for the iPhone/iPod Touch

Intrepid iPod Touch and iPhone users rejoice. Michelle Vu (aka r3d vixen) has posted a cool Foxkeh theme to cutify your fancy gadget.

In good Apple style, you will need to jailbreak your iThing and follow a few instructions to happily mess with it.

As an absolute iPod jailbreaking and pwning newbie, I found that the hard part was getting all the appropriate instructions together, but once on hand it was pretty straightforward. Here’s what I did to get the Foxkeh theme working on my first gen iPod Touch (2.1 firmware) on Windows. Estimated time: 10 minutes.

• Downloaded and installed QuickPwn to jailbreak iPodTouch. During the setup I chose to install Cydia and Installer (both optional application installers), but I’ve only used Cydia so far. This should take about 5 mins.
• On the iPod, open Cydia and install the OpenSSH and WinterBoard packages. In whatever order. 2 mins.
• To upload the theme I used WinSCP and connected to mi iPod’s IP address (Settings/Wi-Fi/<network name>), with user name root and password alpine (the default set by OpenSSH). Download and all, some 3 minutes.
• WinSCP offers a graphical interface where you see local and iPod’s files. Just dragged the foxkeh theme from my computer to the iPod’s /Library/Themes folder and renamed it to foxkeh.theme (I think this is not necessary but recommended by Winterboard developer). 1 minute
• With the theme uploaded, I opened WinterBoard on the iPod and checked the foxkeh theme listed now. A few seconds later, Foxkeh is all around!
• Enjoy!
