Apple iPad Theme for iPhone

Apple iPad Theme for iPhone

The iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad all use the same operating system although the iPad when launched will run version 3.2. There are a few differences in OS 3.2 which can now be put on to the Apple [AAPL] iPhone.

To achieve getting the 3.2 functionality on to OS 3.0 on the current iPhone you need to jailbreak your phone first. Once done you can simply install a number of apps that replicate the functions of the iPad such as a new iBooks Store, iWorks suite etc...

Full details of how to do this are included in the video below which goes through a step by step guide on converting your iPhone over.

A list of the apps can be found just below which you will need to install to get things working...
* Winterboard app via Cydia
* 'Simple iPad Theme via Cydia
* MakeItMine app via Cydia to Change the Carrier logo to iPad.
* Shrink app via Cydia to reduce the size of all the icons on the springboard.
* ProSwitcher via Cydia for Multitasking.
* NYTimes The New York Times app for iPhone via App Store
* Classics The iBooks lookalike app for iPhone via App Store
* Kindle for iPhone via App Store

    All looks great in the video – try jailbreaking a 3.1.3!
    First you have to down grade firmware to 3.1.2 – then jailbreak begins – if you can find the right link for download, all I seemed to do is click one link then to another and before I knew it had about 5 windows open. When I actually found the link to download it gave me a zip .exe windows file – there was no choice or description before downloading! – and as I have a Mac running 10.5.8 an .exe file isn’t much use!
    Anyone got any pointers – mini iPad sounds like a great idea, but in the attempt to bugger my iPhone in the process – not so great – unless support or a human can advise ;-)

      Try blackra1n.com. Not 3.1.3 compatible yet but will be soon. You will probably get tethered boot though.
