Wasn't sure whether to put this is in Website Feedback or Computers, Gadgets and Stuff, but i thought it would perhaps be better here.

Anyway, i was fiddling around with my iPod Touch this morning changing the carrier logo to various different things and decided that all the ones in Cydia were rubbish so i made my own!



It's not very clear in the photo but you will be able to see up the top that i have the Pistonheads logo instead of the default 'iPod' text. I've inspected the resolution on my screen and it looks great, so pretty nice on the new retina displays.

My small modification should work on all iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone models, but you will need to have a jailbroken device in order to do it else things get a little bit more difficult. The only bit i have made is the logo, obviously not the actual tweak which allows the picture to be swapped.

If anyone is interested then let me know and i will post up the instructions and download link.

Cheers. smile

PS: And no posting stupid links this time, still haven't received a mature response in my last thread. rolleyes

Suggest letting PH Towers know before you distribute. The logo is copyrighted IIRC.

Has your iPod been hackered/malwared/virussed, or was it your intention to make it look that bad way?

That's a fair enough point, it actual home page looks terrible doesn't it? hehe

Well i've took that opinion into consideration and i have redesigned my dashboard so it's even more Pistonheady now! Looks much better and neater than before so i'm really pleased with that. Also managed to get a high definition screenshot uploaded as well so you can see all my hard work in detail! biggrin



The only problem with this now is that the weather widget is a tiny bit too high, because it's being overlapped by the status bar.

What do you guys think?

What the... laugh

Is that a genuine tattoo or a wash off one? Surely it can't be real can it?

I'm pretty sure it's the real deal.
