How to Change SSH Password on iPhone, iPod touch & iPad

By changing the root password from the default you are ensuring that only those who know the password can gain root access to your device. Jailbreaking leaves devices vulnerable because it allows users to access the device’s file system and changing the default password makes it much more difficult for anyone else to access all of the files stored on the device in addition to the protection against malware that uses SSH to access a device.

Changing your root SSH password on an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad is incredibly simple. Once your device is jailbroken follow these steps:

1. Install OpenSSH
2. Install MobileTerminal
3. In MobileTerminal type ‘su root’ and press Return
4. Type ‘alpine’ for the password
5. Type ‘passwd’
6. Enter your new password and press Return
7 Enter the new password one more time for confirmation

How to Theme iOS 6 Cellular/WiFi Signal & Data Icons

Articles, Hero Slider, iPhone Tips, Jailbreak, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Very few (current) themes modify the cellular and WiFi signal icons as well as themes that only modify these icons and I believe that this is because the names for these image files in the iOS file system have changed. Below you will find the names that your icons must have in order to be properly applied by WinterBoard on a device with a retina display. If your device does not have a retina display, simply remove ‘@2x’ from the images’ names.

Cellular Signal Icons

4 bars: WhiteOnBlackEtch_4_Bars@2x.png
5 bars: WhiteOnBlackEtch_5_Bars@2x.png

WiFi Signal Icons

2 bars: WhiteOnBlackEtch_2_WifiBars@2x.png
3 bars: WhiteOnBlackEtch_3_WifiBars@2x.png

Cellular Data Icons

3G: WhiteOnBlackEtch_DataTypeUMTS@2x.png
4G/LTE: WhiteOnBlackEtch_DataTypeLTE@2x.png

Notification Center Icons

For Notification Center, all image names must start with ‘WhiteOnBlackShadow’ instead of ’WhiteOnBlackEtch’.

Additionally, these images must be placed in the ‘UIImages’ folder inside of the theme’s folder.

‘Theme Name’ → UIImages

You can download a signal icon pack which I modified to work with my Verizon iPhone 5 on iOS 6 so you can see how each icon is named. These icons were made by MacThemes’ user Karoshi.

Quick Tip

With the help of WinterBoard, it’s actually extremely easy to figure out the file names of every image in iOS. In WinterBoard’s ‘Advanced’ settings, turn ‘Record UIImages’ to ON. Every image that is not themed will be saved as PNGs into /tmp/UIImages. For example, if you want to theme Phone.app’s dialer, open the Phone app to the dialer tab and those images will then be saved into the /tmp/UIImages folder. Simply SSH (or use iFile) into that folder and those images will be saved there so that you can find the images which you want to theme and use the same names for theming.
