DreamBoard Is Now Free On Cydia

Ever since the first iPhone was jailbroken, there was one clear strong reason to do so- themes. People wanted change, and so they wanted to change the appearance of their iPhone's springboard. There have been some really cool tweaks that you can download to change certain parts of the iPhone's springboard, for example, LockInfo, ClockHide, FakeOperator, etc. There are also many themes on Cydia that you can install using Winterboard. But, of all, I found DreamBoard the most easy, efficient, intuitive and it-just-works kind of theme-management tweak. And best of all, on Cydia, now DreamBoard is $0. Yes, it's free.

One of the themes that DreamBoard v1.1.4 comes bundled with is called "Endroid". In this post, I want to share my thoughts, and a tutorial for installing Endroid usind DreamBoard. Firstly, you have to have a jailbroken iPhone (here's another reason to jailbreak your iDevice). Open up Cydia, and search for DreamBoard. DreamBoard is part of the ModMyi repository. Install and respring your device. Below are some screenshots.

Now, it's very simple.  Just tap on the DreamBoard app icon, and, boom! What do you see? A very beautiful transition into the DreamBoard app, where you can see all the installed themes. You will find a default iPhone theme and a pre-installed Endroid theme.

Just tap on the Endroid thumbnail, and that's it. Endroid is running on your springboard. Of coarse, Endroid is just a theme. That means, you will not see full Android functionality, but just an Android cover on top of your iPhone. Below are some screenshots of Endroid in action.

Please feel free to comment. Let me know what you think of DreamBoard. If you have a jailbroken iPhone, you must definitely check it out. Even at $2.99, DreamBoard would have been worth it, but, now with a "free" price-tag, it is all the more hard to resist. What do you think?
