How to Install Whitoken on your iPod Touch or iPhone

You will need to first jailbreak, then install WinterBoard, and then add additional applications in order to install this theme. I will guide you through the process.

Part 1: Jailbreak and Install Cydia

In this part I will show you how to jailbreak and install Cydia on your iPod Touch/iPhone.

1. Download redsn0w, and check our guide on how to jailbreak your iPod Touch or jailbreak your iPhone.

Cydia

2. You should see the above Cydia icon on your  homescreen. Tap the Cydia icon.

Cydia - User/Hacker/Developer Mode

3. When Cydia first launches it will ask you to choose what mode you want to use.  Just tap User (Graphical Only). You can go back and change this later if you wish to.

Cydia Essential Upgrades

4. Cydia will now check for updates and present you with the above prompt saying something like 2 Essential Upgrades. Tap the “Upgrade Essential” button.

Cydia Upgrade - Confirm

5. Now Cydia will ask you to confirm your selection. Tap the Confirm button in the top right.

Cydia - Restart

6. Cydia will now start updating. Once the update is complete it will show a “Complete” message. You will need to restart Cydia, tap the Close Cydia (Restart) button.

    some problems i am having if you could please help me.. under each category folder home, media etc there is no background or wallpaper.. how do i get the ones from the theme? also for some icons they do not change to suit the theme such as crash bandikoot.. i tried to change the icons manually via ssh but to no avail (just looking for a totally clean interface).

    thanks in advance
