PogoPlank - Theme and Categorize your iPhone

PogoPlankPogoPlank, $1.99 from BigBoss on Cydia, is an awesome app that allows you to theme your jailbroken iPhone or iTouch down to one page. That’s right, no more swiping through pages of icons as they are all listed underneath folders on the home page. Almost all the PogoPlank themes follow the format of having the folders displayed in a wheel. See the Guinness theme on my iPhone to left. This cool theme was designed by Dogma at Sinful iPhone. The tiny glasses of Guinness are icons for the folders. Tap a glass and the apps within that folder are displayed as you can see in the screenshot below.  If you watch the step by step video you will see the folder icons are in a “wheel” formation that you scroll to display additional directories. Setting up PogoPlank couldn’t be any easier. There are two tabs on the bottom of the app. Themes is where you pick which one you want displayed. You just select any theme you’ve added from a dropdown menu. There are hundreds if not thousands of themes for PogoPlank from sports teams, movies like New Moon, TV shows like The Simpsons and many more. The Categories tab is where you name your folder icons and add whichever apps you want to each folder. That’s it, once this is done your iPhone or iTouch has just one page and acts just like your desktop. Setting up some PogoPlank themes requires you to SSH the theme folder into your iPhone. However, this is fairly simple and as I’ve stated before, if you’ve jailbroken your iPhone you can SSH. It’s much easier. To set up this Guinness theme on your iPhone just watch the video guide here. Creating your own PogoPlank theme for your jailbroken iPhone or iTouch is simple as well. Just download the folder and change the image files folder.png, list.png and wallpager.png. I recommend opening the images up in Photoshop or whatever editor you use to get the proper image size. Anyone think this will be a popular at the Irish pub on Saint Patrick’s Day?
