iPhone

I’m not sure about anyone else, but I am addicted to my iPhone. It is probably the center of everything I do. It’s also made running TPO a lot easier.

I’m a proud jailbreaker, and with the help of Winterboard, I’ve started to trick my iPhone out with custom Buckeye themes I’ve created. I’ve seen a couple of good ones in Cydia, but I want more!

I already have a TP SMS theme that I made back in the spring, and now I’ve started tinkering around with lockscreen, battery, dialer, and other assorted Ohio State-related themes for the iPhone.

So far, I’ve got a pretty cool OSU lockscreen featuring a running Brutus on top of a helmet background. You use the real helmet to unlock your phone by moving it along some grass. Instead of the standard “slide to unlock” text, it reads “Go Bucks!”. And after you slide, you’ll hear O-H! from the cheerleaders. Pretty cool, huh?

I’ll put my Buckeye iPhone theme creations right here. I’ll probably end up publishing them to some repo (so you can install them directly from Cydia) as well, but for starters, they’ll be right here.

With some downtime in between the regular season and the bowl game, it’ll keep me busy since news will probably be scarce.

So, in the meantime, if you’re looking forward to my work, and haven’t jailbroken or don’t know how to install themes, I’ve included some recommended reading links at the top of this page.

I’ve gotten the process down so that it only takes me 10-15 minutes to make a battery theme. I have made an Ohio State helmet battery theme as well as an Ohio State logo battery theme. I’m going to attempt a TP-specific one as well just to see how it works out. These are vertical batteries instead of the stock horizontal style. I think it looks pretty dope. You’ll see!
