here.. it.. is.. i’ve finally managed to finish this mod.. all the keyboard images have been modified and i really like the way it has come out..
this mod is absolutely necessary if you have NeoTech as the system font on your iPhone.. the default keyboard just looks wrong.. this one.. just right..

i’ve included all the keyboard types. standard, azerty, qwertz and qzerty..

the phone number pads will be released later on as an update.. i don’t have a timeline for that as yet..
i do plan to make NeoTech mods for all the artwork on the iPhone including the dialer and other stuff.. this will happen gradually as WinterBoard does not currently support *all* the artwork.. i’m sure that Saurik is working hard to change that though..

i would like to thank Saurik for making WinterBoard happen. otherwise i would never have done this mod. somehow extracting, editing and packaging .artwork files seems like a lot of work to me..

all in all.. i hope you enjoy using this theme just as much as i did making it..
bugs if any should be reported in the comments..

so.. i can’t believe this just happened to me.. but anyways.. here’s what happened..
i plugged in my iPhone to the pc with the cable to sync and windows gave me an unrecognized USB device popup.. which was strange.. i tried to reconnect a couple of times but nothing helped.. then i noticed drops of water on the connector and immediately removed the cable from the pc and the iPhone..
but i guess the damage is done.. cleaned and dried both the connector and the iPhone port with tissue paper but phone doesn’t detect the charger anymore.. all it says is “this accessory is not made to work with iPhone”.. which sounds really really baaaad….
i don’t even have another cable to try with.. will pick one up from a friend in a whle.. i so hope it’s the cable that’s fried and not the iPhone..
OMG i’m so screwed….

UPDATE: well the phone lives again.. it never was dead actually.. i borrowed an iPod cable from a friend and the iPhone is charging right now.. i can concentrate on finishing that keyboard theme now..

wow.. i’m starting to think that i’m obsessed with having the NeoTech font all over my iPhone…. it’s almost 5 in the morning and i’ve been working on this mod non-stop for the past 10 hours.. i dint know it was this hard to make this particular mod.. it still isn’t finished.. only a third of the images have been modified.. still a long way to go..

anyways..
here are some screenshots for you to feast on while i get the theme ready for release..
