iOS 7 comes with a pretty sleek new look, but you need to be a developer to actually check it out before this fall. Thankfully, you can get the look and feel of iOS 7 really easily with a few jailbreak tweaks and themes. Here’s what you’ll need.
We talked before about getting the best features of iOS 7, but that didn’t really cover a lot of the new look. iOS 7 sports a dramatically different look than previous versions. Everything from the homescreen to the Notification Center is completely different looking. We’re not going to be able to create an exact replica on iOS 6, but we can get it pretty close. Other than a iphone-the-always-up+to+date-guide-[ios-61]">jailbroken phone, here’s what you’ll need to do it.
Get the iOS 7 Home Screen
First things first, let’s skin the icons and home screen to get the right look. For that, you’ll need Winterboard(check out our guide to customizing your iPhone with Winterboard if you need some help with the basics) so you can install themes.
The theme we’re going to use is the iOS 7 Theme by pw5a29. This includes: app icons, the settings interface, messages, signal bars, the lockscreen, and more. Once it’s downloaded, go into Winterboard and enable: iOS 7 StatusBar, Springboard, Siri, Notification Center, Messages UI, Lockscreen, Icons & UI, and Folders. This gets you really close to the look of iOS 7, but we also need to update the font. iOS 7 slightly changed the font throughout the operating system, so, download and install this iOS 7 font. Once it’s downloaded, open BytaFont, and select iOS 7. When your phone reboots, you’ll have a new system-wide font that better reflects iOS 7.
