As you may know the 3.0 firmware has some changes in some of the Icon names.

You can do this from your Computer using SSH, or Your iPhone/iPod using iFile. Read the whole article for both ways.

Using your Computer:

When you use your computer you need a program called SSH. This can be done using any SSH program such as WinSCP or CuteFTP. Also, make sure you have OpenSSH Installed from Cydia. After you get SSH working, (For any help in SSH search Ty’s YouTube for the SSH tutorial) You can begin editing the names of files to make the icons work. Go into your Themes folder and find your theme. Go to the “Icons” folder and find the Icon you need to change. After that name it the way the application is named. NOTE: It is very important that you name it correctly or it won’t work! Ex: To change the SMS app name the Text.png to Messages.png. (Using Caps and everything)

Using your iPhone or iPod Touch:

Another way you can do, which i find easier, is to use your iPhone itself. When using your iPhone/iPod Touch you will need a Mobile Finder program. The only one, that i know of, that is in 3.0 is iFile. (For more information on iFile click HERE) After you have that installed go into the Themes folder and once again find your theme. Find the “Icons” folder and look for your Icon. basically the same proses as the SSH, just from your iPhone. Once again remember to name the files AS IT IS.
