Many users have been asking around on the forums how to send themes over to a device, and how to delete themes from them. So I'm posting these tutorials with hope it clears it all up.

Section A

Method 1, PC/Mac (wireless, easiest): The CodeThemed iPhone app
You can download the official CodeThemed app through Cydia from the BigBoss repo. It lets you transfer themes wirelessly with just a couple clicks. Best for the novice user.
  1. Installing the app video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2r21yvZjMs&feature=player_embedded
  2. Using the app video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvYfFIbjvk4&feature=player_embedded

Method 2, PC/Mac (USB): iPhone explorer
  1. Make sure you have iTunes 9.2 or later installed.
  2. Install 'afc2add' from Cydia, reboot device.
  3. Download & install iPhone explorer to your computer, from: http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/
  4. Run iPhone explorer, then plug your device into your computer and some folders will appear in the left menu. Navigate these folders to: Root > Var > Stash > Themes.
  5. Skip to Section B

Method 3, PC (SSH, wireless): WinSCP
  1. Install 'OpenSSH' from Cydia, reboot device.
  2. Download & install WinSCP to your computer, download link: http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
  3. Run WinSCP, select 'New'
  4. Fill in the following details. Username: root. Password: alpine. Host name: Your device's IP address. (On your device, go to Settings > WiFi > tap the blue arrow next to the network you're on to find the IP). You can save these settings so you dont have to input them again.
  5. Click Login and once it's connected some folders will appear in the left menu. Navigate these folders to: Root > Var > Stash > Themes
  6. Skip to Section B

Method 4, Mac (SSH, wireless): Cyberduck
  1. Install 'OpenSSH' from Cydia, reboot device.
  2. Download & install Cyberduck to your computer, download link: http://cyberduck.ch/
  3. Run Cyberduck and select 'Open connection'
  4. Fill in the following details. Username: root. Password: alpine. Server: Your device's IP address. (On your device, go to Settings > WiFi > tap the blue arrow next to the network you're on to find the IP).  You can save these settings so you dont have to input them again.
  5. Click connect and once its connected some folders will appear in the left menu. Navigate these folders to: Root > Var > Stash > Themes
  6. Skip to Section B


Section B

Once in the Themes folder of your device using one of the above methods, from this point you can transfer to & delete themes on your device.

Transferring theme onto device:
  1. Extract your theme from the .zip or .rar file you downloaded it in. Open the folder 'theme' and inside you should see a folder with your theme's title.
  2. Drag & drop that folder from your computer into your Themes folder on your device.
  3. Open WinterBoard > Select Themes, and tap your theme.

Deleting a theme from your device
In your Themes folder on your device, simply highlight & select delete on the theme you wish to delete.

Having problems?
For the wireless methods, your computer may block the software. If this happens, open your firewall settings and add the software of your choice to the exceptions list. Or, run your chosen software as admin and try again.
If when you login to your device and the only folders you can see in Root are Media & Library, it is because you are in the wrong Root folder. You are in Root>Var>Root. So go back up one directory to Var, there you can continue in the right path.

@iphonethemes123 Yes, ATM that is the easiest way to theme your phone. Although there are some work arounds, that do allow you to do that.
