If you’re bored with your current Winterboard theme, you may give a shot on PerfectStorm. It’s a cool theme that makes your iPhone look like Blackberry Storm. The designer of PerfectStorm theme has demonstrated the power of Winterboard to the full. Unlike most of Winterboard themes that only modify the iPhone icons and wallpaper, PerfectStorm theme comes with other changes that makes your iPhone look really like Blackberry:
- Lockscreen is changed. Just tap (not slide) to unlock
- Calculator theme is changed too
- iPod’s Media Player skin also changes
- Camera skin is changed
- So as the Dialer
- Safari skin
- And most importantly, the keyboard
As always, to use the Perfect Storm theme, you need to first jailbreak your iPhone. You can download the theme from Cydia (Simply search for “Perfect Storm”) for free. After installation, launch Winterboard and enable the theme. If you’re new to Winterboard, check out how you can use it here.
To best work with Perfect Storm theme, it’s recommended to install iBlank (create blank icon) and notifier via Cydia.
A few screenshots to show you what Perform Theme will bring to you… Probably you’ll like this theme.

I’ve been using this for weeks. The problems I have that you might not have are:
1. Weather icon doesn’t work for me. So I’m still stuck with the standard weather icon. I don’t really know what causes this problem. Re-install might work.
2. The date in the top-middle of the screen doesn’t automatically update at midnight, except if I manually restart the phone.
3. It appears that the theme eats lots of memory on my phone.
Seeing too many problems I have, I still like the way it looks and it’s just different. I like the layout, especially for the sms, safari and calculator skins. However the lockscreen is ugly.
Anyway, nice write up, Simon.
Hi.. When I try to install Perfect Storm, I get an error saying ” MD5Sum mismatch ” , which stops the download.
Can you tell me what to do ?
Thanks for your help
Is it possible to just install parts of the theme? I just want the keyboard.
@Fernando
I had been trying to update my perfect storm too just now. I got the same error download. But I kept trying and finally managed to get it downloaded right.
@Simon
The 1.1 update fixed my weather icon and added few other icons as well.
The keyboard is terrible. Try writing this: I am supposed to try and understand this?
Not possible.
I really like the theme! But, Does anyone know where I can find more icons ( I have about 20 unthemed
)? Or, do I just have to wait for the creator to release an update?
any way to just get the keyboard????
I had my iphone hacked 2.x and used the instructions on this site to go back to native mode. But I noticed after I did that, a winterboard themed app that had “ghost” icons (for the blackberry theme), that allowed for the top row of the main springboard page to show the big time, were left afterwards. Now I have a factory phone with these “ghost” or invisible icons that won’t go away and when accidently touched take me to dezign999.com. My question is, how do I remove these?! Sorry for the post here but could find a way to contact directly and couldn’t find information online. Thanks!
I really need the 1.0 theme. The icons refuse to line up in the 2.0 theme
Ive been researching themes for the past month from what ive found this is in the top 3 (out of about 100.) However, my calendar icon is blank for the date. Anyone know a fix?
And yea the lock screen is ugly, I really dont want to see that message bubble every time I look at my phone, it is not needed.
This does not work for the 3.0 OS!
I do have factory unlock iPhone, which I upgraded easily to 3.0
do I still need jailbreak to install perfectstorm?
Thanks.
@elie,
Yes, to use Perfectstorm theme, you need to jailbreak your iPhone. By jailbreaking, you can then install Winterboard and PerfectStorm theme.
Does the key board work with 3.0
I downloaded it and the SMS app doesn’t change. Neither does the keyboard… When I tap the lock screen it doesn’t unlock. It requires VERY LITTLE motion to unlock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :]
Yeah, what’s up with the keyboard not working, and the calendar and sms icons? I’m using an iPhone 3G running jailbroken 3.1.2 software. Hopefully a new update is due out soon because I love this BB interface on my iPhone. Otherwise it’s a GREAT theme!
On the 3GS the icons are too big that it covers the time on the top of the screen also didn’t get the keyboard. Needs fixing!
Use categorise app. I use this theme in iPod 3G. Merge Music app and Video app with MediaMusicplayer. filp. But I don’t get the keyboard. Please make a keybord for iPhone Os 3
I have a problem: I downloaded the perfect storm theme from cydia. So I used the theme and I wanted the keyboard so I selected the sure-type keyboard, excepting it to work but it didn’t work. How do I make it work? The sure-type keyboard came along with the perfect storm theme. Help would be awesome
hey man, thanks for the recommendation
I installed the theme, I like it, but I have a small problem… I still get the default taskbar of the iphone in the upper side of the screen, so i have the iphone clock and underneath it, I have the skin’s clock (and i don’t like that)
