How to Customize an iPhone Springboard
Many iPhone users want to modify their iPhones to reflect their personal tastes. The iPhone only provides a wallpaper option for customizing your iPhone springboard. The lack of customization options is one reason to jailbreak your iPhone. By jailbreaking your device, you can install third-party applications and themes to customize your phone. The iPhone springboard is the home screen that contains your most popular applications and the iPhone dock.
