Giveaway: Win a Copy of Doux, Beautiful Winterboard Theme

This is quite new for MacStories. I know that many of you guys have an iPhone, and I know that many of you have a jailbroken iPhone. There are many reasons to consider jailbreaking an iPhone, like multitasking, Cydia Store apps and graphical customizations.

For this reason, I thought it would have been nice to start giving away stuff for jailbroken devices. Today we start with a “premium” Winterboard theme you can find in Cydia at $0.99 and it’s called Doux.

Entering is simple. First, be sure that you have a jailbroken device and you know how to manually put a theme via SSH (using Cyberduck, perhaps)

Then:

Leave a comment here, telling us the theme you’re currently using. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, Feb. 10th.

Good luck!

Thanks to that amazing tool called Winterboard, you can download and install custom themes on your phone, which will change everything from icons and statusbar color to the dialpad and settings page. Be sure to check out my roundup about 12 best Winterboard themes if you missed it. Anyway, today I’d like to talk about a nice tweak I’ve just purchased from the Cydia Store: it’s called Iconoclasm, and it lets you arrange your icons on the Springboard in a whole different way.

Twidget Brings Twitter to Your iPhone LockScreen

You probably already know how many Twitter clients are available in the AppStore: a lot. Choosing a Twitter application is just your personal preference now, depending on the features you need and how much you’d like to pay to tweet from your iPhone. But you know, Twitter clients could be a lot better if only Apple removes all the SDK limitations developers have to fight with.

Fortunately, there’s Cydia, the amazing alternative store created by Saurik which is the main reason why people jailbreak their phones. I was browsing Cydia last week and I stumbled upon a great application, which has changed the way I read my timeline updates: Twidget.

Snappy and SnapTap: Two Great Apps to Improve Your iPhone Camera

I’ve told you last week how much I love the Cydia Store: it’s a great place to discover and download apps Apple will never approve in the AppStore. You know, SDK violations. And I mean applications like Orbit, Overboard and Multifl0w, biteSms, the reasons why many people decide to jailbreak their phones.
