Introduction

iMatte v5 HD will certainly be a theme remembered for a long time.  There is 5 months in the making (full-time work, I’m dedicated 100% to this, that is making the theme and supporting it).

I first made a complete version, with ColorKeyboard, SBSettings, etc, was going to do all the extensions I support, then I realized it wasn’t up to my expectations.

I threw everything I had to the garbage bin, and restarted from scratch, and here is the result.

How can I describe iMatte without having you read this for half an hour?  Impossible, so I’ll do my best!

If you enjoy and use iMatte, you can offer me a little coffee in order to keep me motivated to pursue my work! (If you don’t live in Sherbrooke, QC area, a little donation will do the same ;))

Requirements

Technically, you can run iMatte v5 HD without any extra extension, that is beside Winterboard and it’s dependencies.

For optimal use, I highly suggest you install the following extensions:

• (free) Wallpaper JPEGifier, this one is actually a necessity if you want to be able to easily change the wallpaper used for the springboard html layouts
• (free) WeatherIcon, this one is only needed if you want to use the Native Weather Springboard or Lockscreen theme
• (free) Bytafont, if you want to use the default font bundled with iMatte, or any other fonts
• (free) Zeppelin, if you want to change the Carrier Icon/Name to the custom iMatte logo or something else
• (free) SliderWidth, if you want a slim slider for the lockscreen (you can adjust to any size you want)
• (paid) Gridlock, if you don’t want to deal with iBlanks and make nice layouts with the PerpageHTML+ widgets, this is highly recommended
• (paid) PerpageHTML+, again, this is only if you want to use the many widgets that are made to customize your springboard beyond what Winterboard can do
• (paid) ColorKeyboard, if you want to have the iOS keyboard themed, this is needed

Package Summary

• Fully themed stock iOS UI
• Full Siri theme with most of the assistants themed
• Full notification center theme
• Static springboard/lockscreen theme with digital clock+weather widget
• Native weather springboard/lockscreen theme (original by Subywrex, modded by me)
• Springboard slideshow with the same digital clock widget
• 3 minimal lockscreen layouts (by Zooropalg and I)
• 2 linear date springboard layouts (by Zooropalg and I)
• 1 old school springboard layouts (made by fif7y, ported by zoo, fixed by me)
• 2 springboard pages theme (yay, it’s been a while, winterboard last supported pages on iOS3.x)
• 2 icon mask themes
• 45(!! yes you heard right) different sets of custom made fabric icons with glyphs.  Different colors, ribbons style and sizes, and without ribbons.  For now, the sets includes 59 icons.
• Many handmade wallpapers + lots of hand-picked pictures for slideshows
• Customized ColorKeyboard theme with Siri support
• SBSettings theme with 37 toggles
• Full Intelliscreen (with QuickSettings) and LockInfo theme
• Auto-generating icons for AppStore apps, and lots of icons for Cydia apps included (the auto-generate doesn’t work with the 45 glyph icon sets..)
• Custom loading screens for all stock iOS apps, + a few Cydia/AppStore one as well. A fallback loading screen takes care of the rest.
• Lots of paid and free Cydia tweaks’s settings icon and sbsettings toggle done
• Customized fonts included
• PSDs included for icons, loading screens and overlays and most of the ui effects, to allow you create anything that will look great with iMatte.

There is so much more, Tweetbot, WhatsApp, Instagram and Foursquare are also themed.

Plus a bunch of cydia extensions like: AndroidLoader, AndroidLockXT, Anicons, BiteSMS, CallBar, ColorBanner, -Deck, Dock, Folder Enhancer, FolderIcons, Firewall IP, iPodControls, Move2Unlock, MusicBarExtended, PowerCenter Pro, QuickDo, Scrollingboard, SlideAway, SnowCover 4, Twitkafly, WeeToolBox, Zeppelin

More??

Happy that you asked! Sure there is!

By now, you should already be downloading and installing iMatte!

And there is so much more to it…

*** TO ALL MODDERS, if you need anything that I didn’t included in the package to create a mod for iMatte, let me know. I will provide you with whatever you need to do your thing. Thank you much!

I’d like to thank @Zooropalg, this guy may have never released a theme of his own, but he certainly contributed to the success of many themes, iMatte included. If you would ever leave buddy, you would be dearly missed by many. I’m sure if you ever release a theme, it will be a monster success!

Hope you all enjoy iMatte as much as I enjoyed making it!

The changes are all in the background, but massive. It improves stability, memory usage and speed. The beta testers are all impressed how quick it is now, and you will be too.

Changelog 1.39:

- significantly improved speed

- reduced memory ussage

- improved stability (fixes for example an issue with Sonic Winter Games)

- new icon

This will be the last update for a few weeks (unless hot-fixes are needed). I’ve to prepare for exams. After that I’ll go back adding a few ideas to FiP.

Firewall iP is the only security app of it’s kind and offers many advance features like getting WhoIs-informations about the host.

Block outgoing TCP & UDP connections selectively

Shows you the hostname for the connection & can provide you with WhoIs information

Block connections of apps when you are on a cellular network

Block analytic providers / data collectors which PrivaCy can’t

Block unneeded content (ads ;))

Easy to use interface & control app

and many more…. yllier.webs.com/firewall.html

Firewall iP is available in the CydiaStore for only $2.49

Firewall iP, the first and only Firewall for the iPhone, got a new update to 1.35. This update brings you new features along with some stability fixes.

and many more…. http://yllier.webs.com/firewall.html

Firewall iP is available in the CydiaStore for only $2.49

new in 1.35:

- added Global allow/deny to popup

many users requested this features and here you go,  I hope you like it

- changed *host/*.host to *domain/*.domain

this has also been requested. for example: if the popup shows you static.google.com as hostname this         will create *google.com/*.google.com (instead of the previous *static.google.com/*.static.google.com)

- fixed a bug in 1.31

due to compiling with the iPhoneOS SDK 3.2 beta there was a bug in 1.31, which would cause to crash as soon as you selected a list. if you want to read more about the issue with the 3.2beta SDK: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2152321/weird-uitableviewcell-loading-exception

Firewall iP is available in the CydiaStore for only $2.49

new in 1.30:

- set rules in *host- and *.host-format in the popup

usually you would set a rule for a hostname like google.com. but if you choose *host you’ll set a rule for all hostnames which end with (in this example) google.com (xyz.google.com, …). *.hosts adds a rule only for subdomains.

- option to block connections of specific apps if NOT on WiFi

this will help you save you money. if you don’t want any app to access the internet while you are using 3G/EDGE just enable this option. (Note: there is a also a global switch for that in the (i)nfo view which will override app-specific settings)

- many improvements for UDP connections

this will fix issues with Skype and a few other apps which rely on UDP

Decide yourself, Security for your iPhone and iPod touch

Firewall iP is now available on CydiaStore for only $1.99.

Firewall iP allows you to block outgoing connections (TCP & UDP). It hooks into applications from AppStore and Cydia. Firewall iP will alert you if the app wants to establish a connection to a host and shows you the hostname. Then you have the options to allow/deny the connection once/always or allow/deny all connections for the application.

You can decide if the application will send data. Developers will no longer be able to collect stats about you (UDID, phone number, usage statistics…) or even collect personal data. With Firewall iP you can cover all app analytic providers which aren’t in PrivaCy and also custom analytics.

You can block some content too. Now you are the one who decides!

In the control app you can edit the rules for each 3rd party application as well as add new applications to the list. It also offers a switch to disable Firewall iP and a SBSettingsToggle for the same purpose.

Cydia itself is excluded for obvious reasons.

• Block outgoing TCP & UDP connections selectively
• Shows you the hostname for the connection
• Block analytic providers which PrivaCy can’t
• Block unneeded content
• Easy to use interface & control app
• Edit the rules you did set
• Add apps manually
• Low memory & CPU consumption

After installation and a respring it will start to monitor outgoing connections.
