Hey everyone, i just got the iphone4 this weekend and I must say it's really nice. Since then I have been looking at some of your lock screens here on the forums and wondering how/if I can get this on my phone http://att.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=248207&d=1282722243

Could I use that theme with a picture of my choice?
Do I have to jailbreak my phone for that?

I'm very new to the iphone, so please go easy on me.

thx

Themes like the one you liked to do require jailbreaking and in most cases an JB app called WinterBoard. In most cases you can customize the wallpaper even if the theme has specific wallpaper, when jailbroken there are always ways to do things. Part of the reason to jailbreak. :D

so to jailbreak I would install Cydia? and it will work on 4.1? :eek:

There are a lot of threads on jailbreaking right now as two different jailbreaks for 4.1 have come out in the past few days. Take a look at those. Each of those will install Cydia as an end result. In Cydia you will be able to access and manage jailbreak apps.
