Customizing the iPhone's background

Look friends, an iPhone with a pretty pic of a butterfly instead of the original all-black flavor. The folks at modmyiPhone have posted up a detailed -- 15 steps of detailed -- how-to if you want to express yourself in a new, more colorful way -- of course, as with any involved bit of fiddling, be warned that this could potentially tank your phone, so customize at your own risk. A couple things that we noticed right off about this mod are that the calendar icon seems to be falling off the display and the icon text is missing -- the author notes a few other issues in the article. This is still listed as a work in progress, so if you aren't brave, you may want to sit on your hands and enjoy the oh-so-slick blackness for a little while longer.

Custom backgrounds on your Sidekick 3

Where there's a will, there's usually a way. Sidekick 3 owners miffed about being trapped inside Danger's walled garden of content will be happy to know that some resourceful peeps have managed to drop custom backgrounds and themes on their units -- and it appears to be a pretty simple process, to boot. Modify a text file, drop a few images via USB, and you're good to go. At least until Danger decides to patch to get you non-conformists back in line, that is.
