New iPhone themes have always generated interest amongst iPhones enthusiasts. The iNav theme is a breakthrough development for the iPhone world, as it promises to go beyond what any other theme has ever offered. iNav will also be the first ever paid theme.
The iNav theme is available as of now; however, installing it to get the desired feel, can eventually be a little risky proposition. Given below is a step-by-step guide on how to efficiently configure and install the iNav themes via Winterboard.
Install the iNav themes via Winterboard
Step 0: If you want to install the iNav Theme, you need to download this file (special thanks to http://www.benm.at/) to your computer. You also have to install Categories and Winterboard on your iPhone (Cydia) and the ability to SSH into your device.
Step 1: Open Categories and make 2 folders: "Games" and "Apps". Now sort your apps. Put all games into the games folder and all remaining apps, except Phone, Safari, iPod, Photos, Mail, and Settings, into the apps folder.
Step 2: Install webclips: SSH into your iPhone and navigate to Private>Var>Mobile>Library. Replace the Webclips folder with the Webclips folder you downloaded.
Step 3: Put 10 Webclips (hold an app and you will see them) on every springboard page. The 11th icon will be one of the apps you left out of the folders.
- Page 1: 10 blank icons (webclips) and then the Phone icon.
- Page 2: 10 blank icons (webclips) and then the SMS icon.

Step 3: Thereafter, launch Categories and create two new categories: Apps and Games

Step 7: Thereafter, exit from Winterboard. Put at least 10 blank icons and then the application icon, after the re-spring in each Springboard page.
Step 8: You can then set 3 blank icons in the dock, followed by the Settings icon

nice. it works relatively well. i am having trouble getting the settings app to appear on the homescreen, and i think the theme has been updated since the screen shotsbecause the time is different or is the side you have added. anyways it is verry cool
why does ur theme look a little diff then mine..like in urs it has the time at the SB like on the wall paper but mine doesnt and the font on ur clock is different and ur settings is on the left and not the right...i like the way urs is set up more then mine can u tel me how u did it?
iNav seems to work pretty well, for the most part. Setting it up, to get it just right, is a lot of work, and the same amount of work to get rid of it. Hopefully this will be some how automated in the official release. I don't see people paying for this, if it's so complicated to set up.
In the end, I preferred the original iPhone layout.
can anyone tell me the name of that font
i say it the last time. credit me if u directly link to a download of mine.

it worked! great! thanks! the only problem i have is that my APP and SETTINGS icons are different from what is shown above.. please help me on how to configure and change the icons.. thanks! ^^
Does anyone know where to get the categories icons that are shown in the above photos?
my suggestion: wait until a better version of this theme comes out. If you dont do it correctly, it only completely messes up your ipod. For some really cool ipod and iphone stuff go to http://technomac.tk
You also have to install Categories and Winterboard on your iPhone (Cydia) and the ability to SSH into your device.
plz tell where i can find these things i have 1.1.5 firmware ipod touch 16gb and it is jailbroke by Ziphone
