Best iOS 8 Themes for iPhone: Cydia Themes for Winterboard

The iOS 8 jailbreak lets you unlock the option to install new iOS 8 themes from Cydia. These iOS 8 Cydia themes can completely change the look of the iPhone in ways Apple will never officially support. With Winterboard themes you can change the look of iOS 8 including the app icons, status bar, dock and many other areas.

We’ve discovered the best iOS 8 themes for the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and any other iPhone running iOS 8. We tested these iOS 8 Cydia themes on the iPhone 6 Plus to make sure they look great on a large screen.

After you jailbreak the iPhone on iOS 8 you can find these Cydia themes in the default repositories that are a part of Cydia. These all work on iOS 8.1.2 and you can even jailbreak iOS 8.1.2 on Mac OS X [1] now. After the iOS 8.1.3 and other updates arrive these should continue to work as long as there is a jailbreak.

Inside these iOS 8 themes for iPhone you will find new wallpapers and icon theme packs to complete the overall look of the Cydia themes. You don’t need to manually set app icons on any of these iOS 8 Winterboard themes as they will automatically apply the new icon and new shape if it is part of the theme. There are also some iOS 8 themes that include connections to other iOS 8 jailbreak apps to further customize the experience.
