Step 1: You will first need to jailbreak your iPhone for this to work. Complete jailbreaking instructions can be found here.

Step 2: One you have jailbroken your iPhone, You will need to install Winterboard from Cydia to get this theme working. Start Cydia, search for “Winterboard” and then install it:

Step 3: Now go back to Cydia and search for “iBlank” and install it.

Step 4: After iBlank has been installed, go back to Cydia again and search for “OpenSSH” and install it as shown in the screenshot below:

Reboot your iPhone after installing OpenSSH.

Step 5: Connect your iPhone with your computer. Make sure iTunes is not running.

Step 6: Start WinSCP (download link given below) on Windows and enter the following details to login to your phone:

Step 7: Once you have logged in, browse to /Library/Themes directory on your iPhone.

Step 8: Download HTC Hero Sense UI for iPhone (download link given below). Copy iVillain.theme and WeaterWidget.theme directories and paste them into /Library/Themes directory on your iPhone as shown in the screenshot below:

Step 9: Now you will have make changes to configureMe.js file so that weather widget displays the weather for you city. Navigate to /Library/Themes/WeaterWidget.theme/Private. Right click on configureMe.js file and click edit.

Change the following highlighted line to the city, country of your choice:

Step 10: Now start the app “iBlank” that we installed in Step 3 and create 12 icons. This app basically creates invisible icons for you which you have to move across the first 3 rows of your main screen so that clock and weather widgets are properly visible.

Step 11: Start Winterboard app and select WeaterWidget and iVillain options in the order as shown below:

You must move WeaterWidget above iVillain if it is not over it. Exit Winterboard and you should now have this amazing looking Sense UI –like theme on your iPhone!
