How to Customize Your iPhone Using WinterBoard

These are instructions on how to customize your iPhone using WinterBoard.

WinterBoard is an extension for the iPhone that allows users to customize the graphics and sounds on their device. Recently, it was brought to our attention that iClarified doesn't have an WinterBoard tutorial. We apologize for the oversight and will release a few tutorials to help users with WinterBoard.

We will begin with the basic installation and usage tutorial.


Step One
Press to launch Cydia from the SpringBoard.


Step Two
Press to select the Sections tab at the bottom of the screen.


Step Three
Press to select System from the list of Sections.


Step Four
Press to select WinterBoard from the list of Packages.


Step Five
Press the Install button at the top right of the screen.


Step Six
Press the Confirm button at the top right of the screen to start the installation.


Step Seven
Once the installation has completed successfully press the large Reboot Device button.


Step Eight
Once the iPhone has rebooted you will notice a new WinterBoard icon. Press the icon on your SpringBoard to launch the application.


Step Nine
You will notice a list of features that can be turned on and off. We will take you through each feature and show you what it does.
