OS7 Theme Demo

I can’t create my Current theme. The BackBoard’s trying to update something.
Pop ups are annoying.
agreed
I have beta 2 with no pop ups it’s so much better with no pop ups 😉
from where did you get that!!!
Restore your old theme, delete OS7 theme. Then, just re-download the theme, then apply it.
The look and functionality is fantastic, but every time you start an app it pops up asking if you want to donate. I quit using it after 5 minutes. Dump the pop-ups, and give me a way to move the panels on the home screen around and I’ll both use it and donate.
How can I get the original theme back? I haven´t saved it
that hard to follow instructions ?
I’m in the same situation, I followed instructions elsewhere that did not tell me to back up my current. I don’t want to be stuck with this win7 theme. is there any way to remove it?
Hi guys I had same problem but I found the only way is to reload apple OS back on, it was a right pain
if you have SBSettings, go to Add-ons under system settings and toggle os7 off
>> Easier uninstallation (If you have trouble go to SBSettings->More->MobileSubstrate Add-ons -> Turn OS7 OFF.
just create name and click + then you will see the current..just click and install
mine didnt work please help
i have an iphone 4 with the latest os
annoying Pop Up
backboard says unable to download or extract..
no changes! who can it be
well my iphone 3g is really messed up i cant evn do nuthn with out goin into safe mode i need help
I had the same problem. I assume u r on 4.2.1.
I downgraded to 4.1 and the problem stopped
dont work with downgrade
I had iOS 4.2.1 and it worked fine. I had to restore my iPod (since it went into a bootloop), downgraded to 3.1.2, then upgraded to 4.1. Both times it went into safe mode. I guess what I’m trying to say is that 4.2.1 should work.
mine didn’t work IPhone 4. The link doesnt open Backboard
awesome good job im working on one too
it looks great and works great as well. tip of the hat to you my friend. anyone notice that he doesn’t open any of the apps? thats because every time you an app there is a pop up telling you that its a beta and to donate no matter what apps you open. dont be fooled
It is not working for me on Iphone4, IOS 4.1 – crashes to safe mode every time when i try to install it in backboard. Any solution? Maybe it is not compatible with something from cydia? Help
dude im having the same problem too!
Even I am having this problem…..
i cant install it when i hit the link it starts to open in backboard and then crashes im on ipod touch 3g ios 4.1
Check that you have written the address properly. Make capitals where needed.
iphone4 with os 4.1 crashes to safe mode whenever I start an application and those words pop up…
Great idea! Thanks for app. I did notice that the camera feature does not open the camera ,but opens the photos? Multiple homescreen changes seem to cause respring other than that great app
I have the same issue where on 4.1 iPhone it just crashes to the springboard. I pretty much uninstalled everything in cydia that would likely cause a problem so not sure what else to do. Gave up on it for now.
Thus why it’s called BETA! Don’t use this crap, it will just fuk up your jailbrocken phone and is nothing but a pain in the ass….. But hey, do what you like, it’s your phone.
how can i get rid of it ? please help i tried changing my theme but nuthing happen. i have uninstall backboard still nuthing happen
The worst made theme ever seen
hey i really wanted this to work but it doesnt, i mean i got no problems with it its downloaded and backboard comes up but every time i install it and respring it seem like winterboard chooses invisidock and applies that :S, im got 3gs 4.2.1
any ideas??
backboard not working on my i4 4.1 and 4.2.1
any solution ?
Doesn’t work. After respiring it just goes to my normal theme
same would really like solution, when i was trying to downgrade kept coming up with error 1600
So yeah, whenever I feed Safari the backboard:// link (I even tried moving the OS7Beta.zip file to my web server and trying it that way) SpringBoard crashes pretty hard. (iPhone 3G, iOS 4.2.1)
Does anyone happen to know where BackBoard stores its files? I could just FTP OS7Beta.zip onto my device.
the default theme that I saved appears to be stored in /private/var/mobile/Library/Wynd/iSetup … I opened the contents of OS7Beta.zip and it looks like the directory structures were a bit different. Hrmm. Ideas?
was working fine… after change to normal and get back again to os7 theme is not working!!!
check this for more update…

thanks …..os7 theme is good…thanks again
Great Theme.Is there any tutorial for making iphone theme
How about someone posting a normal theme! or altering the instructions to say make sure you save your normal state first! nice app but uninstall does not work and it is a real pain the but to get back to normal.
I am running a jailbroken iphone 3GS on 4.1
The theme downloaded and installed perfectly. It does not theme lockscreen (if it does, the winterboard theme i have installed must override it) but the live tiles and scroll screen work just fine. I have no errors, crashes or pop ups.
Only issue is the weather tile does not display in celsius (i live in canada). And seems to be set to only one place. Even after changing the weather apps settings it wont display local info and wont display celsius. But its not really important and this is one of the best themes ive come across for simplicity but uniqueness. Love it
It says its the end of OS7. Goodbye. on a pop-up but it still adds it, & when I install it, it just goes into safe mode? Please can someone tell me how to sort this?
Did you ever find a solution to your problem? mine did the same thing too
i am on software 4.3.1, i istalled everything it says respring then it resprings but nothing happens it stays the same as before!!
??
DONT USE THIS I HAVE A IPHONE 3G 8GIG ON 4.2.1 AND IT INSTALLED FINE BUT AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF AWESOME USE MY IPHONE CRASHED AND THEN RESTARTED AND RUNS SOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW THAT YOU CANNOT UNLOCK THE PHONE BEFORE IT CRASHES AGAIN AND AGAIN TRIED TO DO A RESTORE AND ITUNES CAN NO LONGER RESTORE THE DEVICE. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PIECE OF SHIT SOFTWARE AT SUCH A HIGH RISK IT ISNT WORTH THE LOSS EVEN IF IT DOES WORK FOR OTHERS DO YOU REALLY WANT TO RISK YOUR IPHONE OR IPOD?
Well I don’t have annoying pop ups, because I am awesome. ;D
Well this theme shouldnt be instlled via backboard anymore, get a legit copy of dreamboard and google the dreamboard store and install that, then dor]wnload it from the dreamboard store and apply it in dream board, i have a iphone 4 ios 4.3.1 running it beautifully
Last time I used dreamboard I got stuck in a reboot loop. 😛 Stupid ipt2g MC…
