Installing the Carbon Ovation Theme for the iPhone
There are a lot of themes available for the iPhone on Cydia. I’ve been using the iComplete Theme and the HD Apple theme and I was happy. Then I read about this Carbon Ovation. I’ve just installed 2 of them, Carbon Ovation [Blue] and Carbon Ovation [Red]. There are others available. There’s a pink and a signature theme as well. It takes a while to set up because it practically changes the way you use your phone. Here are some screen shots:
Anyway, To set this up, there are some prerequisites.
- You must have a jailbroken iPhone.
- You must have Cydia installed.
- You must have the patience of a saint.
A video guide (part 1, part 2, part 3) is available on YouTube thanks to RandomPhil86iPhone.
Here’s how it’s done:
You must first get hold of the following applications which are all downloadable from Cydia.
- Winterboard
- Carbon Ovation Theme
- iBlank
- Five Icon Dock
- Five Column Springboard
- Categories
- Springjumps
Note: If you already have Winterboard installed, disable all existing themes before proceeding.
- Open up Cydia, search and install all the applications mentioned above.
- Open Springjumps. Once open, tap on Jump Icons.
- Make sure Page 1 to 6 is On. Leave Page 7 and 8 Off, then tap on the Home button. Your phone will now respring.

- Go to Settings > Five Column-SB > make sure it is On. Tap on the Home button.

A window will pop up asking you to name the folder you are about to add. - You will be adding folders with the following names:

You’re all set.
