How do I use Cydia to install different themes and what not ?
this is so damn confusing...
 
I'll offer help.

Make sure you install "winterboard". Then you open up cydia and install a theme from there. After that is finished go into winterboard and click on the theme stuff that you want to apply. Simple as that.
 
There are countless threads here about which apps are best... these will get you started:

OpenSSH (You will need this later, but it'll mean nothing to you at the moment)
WinterBoard (Theme manager)
Cycorder (Video recorder!)
MobileTerminal (You probably won't ever use this, but it's a good fail-safe in case something happens to Cydia)

Once you have WinterBoard installed, go back into Cydia and check the Theme sections. There are a gazillion of them. That will keep you busy for a long while.
 
i had the same questions, but figured it out and well i am glad i took the plunge. One question... I set my work email so i could get my work email on my phone.(duh) and since then it puts that stupid passcode lock on. An IT guy at work told me to jailbrake and there is a way around it. Anyone.

update: Found it, called 'killexchange"

Click to expand...

Can install themes/ ringtones / etc

Install 3rd party apps

Install free apps

it's just awesome, I was actually getting bored of my iphone 3g after 3 days, because there wasn't a whole lot I could do with it or customize it so I jailbroke it and now I have tons of options available to me.

Just search on the forums, and see what people are doing with it 🙂
 
i've had my 3G jailbroken for a few weeks now (just upgraded to 2.2) and it is really interesting.

I am not much of a computer nerd or geek or anything, but I find it very interesting to SSH. You can do a LOT with SSH, get emulators, customize themes (more then you can do with just a regular theme - see below, i combined 2 themes). One of the coolest things is changing the actual background without having to change the lockscreen image (it takes a little more time, but worth it i think) 😎

video recorder,
MMS,
ROM's,
winterboard,
cracked apps (the ones you find in the AppStore)
