Since I published the post about turning your iPhone into Blackberry Storm using PerformStorm theme, I got quite a number for positive emails about this theme, especially the keyboard:
“I love this theme, particularly the Blackberry keyboard!!!”
“The theme and the keyboard is really great!”
“PerfectStorm theme looks pretty good. But anyway to theme the keyboard only?”
Seems Rob Grohman has heard of your comments and released a Storm keyboard theme for iPhone. The Blackberry keyboard looks really cool on iPhone.
The Storm keyboard theme works with Winterboard. Once you can download it from Cydia, enable the theme using Winterboard.
For those who only loves the Storm keyboard of PerfectStorm theme, this standalone keyboard theme is right for you.

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 had that problem too and it went away after I got rid of the blackberry theme. That was annoying as hell.
What’s the source? I had this awesome keyboard theme and then I upgraded. I know that keyboard theming doesn’t work on 3.0 but I wanna have it downloaded so I can use it for when Winterboard gets updated ^_^
I have 3.0 software, is it any way I can get the storm keyboard theme on my iphone?
@joe, to use Winterboard, you’ll need to jailbreak your iPhone. For iPhone 3.0, you can use redsn0w for the jailbreak.
I tried to install this on my phone it doesn’t work. My phone is running 3.0 and is jailbroken
winterboard has to be updated for 3.0 first.
once that happens then the keyboard stuff will come back.
I have the latest jailbreak on the 3.1.2 software, when i try to install the storm keyboard, the default keyboard is still there, and when i try 2 install the perfectstorm theme the sms icon remains the same.
Cj were having the same problem. I’m on the latest jailbreak 3.1.2 with blackra1n and when I choose a theme for the keyboards it won’t show, it’ll be be the default keyboard. If anyone has a solution please reply or write to mike_monsalve21@yahoo.com
CK, Mike,
If you guys get an answer for this problem, let me know. I’m having the same issues. I installed 3gStormKB and the keys are still the default keys. I clicking should has changed and sometimes you can see a glimsp of the black Storm space bar when switching back and forth from emoji or numbers keyboard. Thanks.
Seems to not be support in 3.0? I have the same issue…lame

I’m pretty sure custom keyboards do not work in 3.x. I remember Saurik twittering about how they changed something, and due to a technical limitation, he couldn’t get it working.
(I authored the blog link above, too
)
dude, this sucks!!! i have jailbroke 3.1.2 and i can’t get these to work either and i came from the strom to the ipone and i totally hate the iphone keyboard. anybody got any ideas???
The only person that’s really ever tried on 3.x was Saurik, and he himself said that no, it was not possible.
Jailbreak 2.x if you really want it.
dude that sucks!!!
i have 3.1.2 jb 3g do not work
For the SMS icon however, I was able to find a somewhat lame way to fix it. If you SSH into the iphone, and copy the MAIL.png icon onto your computer, then change the name to MESSAGES.png, you can make the messages app icon the mail one, labeled messages. however, it looks the same as the mail icon…
Somw one shuld bring a 3.0 and above Fw version of the BBstorm KB for iphone. As the perfect storm keyboard works almost fine with 3.1.2 then why not bring a standalone theme??
yea it doesnt support it with 3.0 ….. anyone know when winterboard is gonna update so it’ll work?
Unfortunately, it won’t be.
Saurik twittered that it was impossible.
Uggghh…do u kno if someone could make another download like winterboard? That bypasses all that crap with updates?
i had mine jailbroken on 3.1.2 forever and i had it working in the beginning and then one day the keyboard was just gone, so somebody messed with something and screwed it up for all of us >:(
If you have a jailbroken iphone and are on 3.0 onwards… Add repo:
http://repo.beyouriphone.com
Then search for: iacces
Download that. Then seach for any keyboard theme that is supported by iacces. E.g. ‘iaccess Macbook Black’. This works and is the only way you’ll get it back.
Enjoy!
Thanks stu, im definitely gonna give it a try…
I spoke a little too soon. Its a little bit more involved…. You also need to download a file called ‘ifile’.
There are loads of tutorials on youtube. I cant find the one I used but have a good look.
Yeh it is, but it does work. I ssh’d the file into my phone. So thanks a lot stu…
