Builder 2.1 - Now Available!

iPhone 4, iPod touch 4, and iPad

We're proud and excited to announce today's release of Theme Builder 2.1 with so many additions and upgrades. Our previous two week beta period has been quite a success, and we thank you all who contributed.


So what's all in this release?

Retina + iPad: You can now theme your iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4 and take advantage of their gorgeous, HD Retina displays. Not only are we adding these devices, but both iPad 1 and iPad 2 are also now supported.

Double-Sizing: Use the new 2x button to see Retina display-enabled and iPad HD themes full size. You'll see just how truly finely-detailed and beautiful HD themes can be. Now available on theme view pages and on the Theme Builder.

New Add Icon: Change the icons of thousands of apps with just a few keyboard taps. We'll find the app you're looking for and automatically match it up with its ID -- this way, your icons will work internationally and in all languages.

Compatibility: Add your devices to your account with My Devices, and instantly see what themes on the site work with your specific device and generation. Link devices to your account either manually or by signing into the CodeThemed app (which adds them automatically).

New presets: We've worked with designers to provide new HD presets for icons, docks, and wallpapers. Use them in your Retina and iPad themes.

Stay tuned, we already have more updates and features coming to the site which will be released soon! More details on that will be announced later. Follow us on Twitter, and Like us on Facebook for instant updates.

We'll soon be hitting 100,000 users since our original launch in April 2010. We'd like to thank you guys greatly for the support you continue to give and for helping us build this community.

That's all for now,

- CodeThemed Team

    hi. do you have theme maker for iphone 3G? sad to say that i was made my own theme but it was not fitted for my phone. :(

  8. Malajac posted 2 years ago

    It doesn't work if you want to make your own theme with your own photos!!!
    Photo will show on your lock screen but it won't on your iPhone pages!
    CodeThemed guys blame WinterBoard for it, WinterBoard blames CodeThemed.....however there is a BIG bug which needs to be fixed long time ago, and still waiting :(

    Kinda sad that these features aren't working properly anymore, and there's no word from the devs about it. So who knows when or even if an update is coming. It's been what 5 - 6 months since the last update? Sad. Very sad. And to think this site used to be a very useful utility.

    Im using an iPod Touch 4G iOS4.2.1, After choosing iPod Touch Retina I tried to create a theme and when I clicked the Lock screen and status bar tab nothing happened. It wont allow me to do anything, am I doing something wrong. Before the update I had no issue with creating a theme. Also the backgrounds I created in the theme aren't showing up on my iPod as well. my email is babyboy040684@yahoo.com, if someone has a solution to this issue. Please and Thanks.

    cool

  31. Cosmolin posted 2 years ago

    Short term pains eh? Well now that you've explained the logic behind making the system more universal, I'm a little more content.

    Thanks for continuing to work on my reported issue and keeping the lines of communication open on all your social media outlets. Especially on a weekend.

    FUCKING SHIT AMAAAAAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i made a theme but it did not work on my ipod touch 4g why

  34. Jonathan posted 2 years ago

    Of course, you have some very valid points. Although, the old "icon system" was very bad as it didn't work cross platform (retina for example), as well you would be required to have SummerBoard mode on. We are currently working on a database system to gradually build up the lagest Bundle ID database of accurate information, allowing people to search for their own IDs and add them. This is something we decided to add now, reason being it should have been done long before.

  35. Cosmolin posted 2 years ago

    Fair enough Johnathan, if its winterboard that's not working the search. Then explain why we still can't make our own icons as an option anymore.

    I understand the need to improve existing software but it's mute when you take away the original icon making while its replacement upgrade does not work.

    Transitions are a process not an event.

  36. Jonathan posted 2 years ago

    Any of the recently posted concerns are not connected to the new release, this builder is as updated as possible as far as naming icons/images go. The real issue here is WinterBoard, which unfortunately at the moment Saurik is not tending to. We are looking in possibly trying to improve WinterBoard ourselves although that will not be at this very instant. Thanks.

  37. aa5015 posted 2 years ago

    there's already problems with the builder T.T
    i try to put my own icons but now they don't work anymore.
    also, the dock and status bar background bug has not been fixed as they don't appear on my iPod 2nd gen.

  38. Jami678 posted 2 years ago

    every time i transfer themes some icon pictures are missing and pictures are enlarged. Can you put v2 of codethemed on the site so i can make themes again. if you put an option to click on what version you want then everyone is happy

  39. kburd posted 2 years ago

    Amazing search feature but I agree on being able to still add your own.
    Other then that.

    I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! Finally a place to share what I, myself, have made. Keep up the great work!

  40. Stiani posted 2 years ago

    minus a few issues getting the lock screens to transfer correctly (probably user error but just saying) generally easy and great, but I also do not like the forced "must be found in search" app adder... I have five apps easy that you dont have in your data base.. Please fix?

  41. Cosmolin posted 2 years ago

    Also still waiting on page indicators which is only 8x9 pixel (regular) 16x18 (retina)

    The option to move and rearrange icons on the editor to actually see how it would look would be nice since not everyone puts stock on the first page etc.

  42. Cosmolin posted 2 years ago

    3rd post under 500 gonna copy this just in case
    take out the + sign in the middle and let us make our own icons like b4
    the search is not accurate showing ebay as ebay mobile etc

    iphones don't have facetime app icon so leave it in the ipod4 section
    stop taking out our custom phone icons, and forcing the facetime icon on us

  43. Jami678 posted 2 years ago

    sometimes i cant find some of my apps which is anoying please change it so you can change if you want app search on or off so i can add some of my apps

  44. Ioku1 posted 2 years ago

    Thank you for the new update but you can't put cydia apps you have on there like backgrounder,rock,loader,and etc Please change this

  45. Jonathan posted 2 years ago

    @cxr2t When you actually save the theme, it doesn't show that.

  46. cxr2t posted 2 years ago

    Remove the "+" PLUS button on the middle of the screen for ppl.that do themes for "sharing" to use REAL previews.

  47. Jonathan posted 2 years ago

    @Pointboy318 That is wonderful to hear, thank you!

  48. Pointboy318 posted 2 years ago

    The themes are great! I finally can download themes that work on my lockscreen and they look crystal clear. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work.
