Me personally,I'm a tweaker. I JB'd my phone to enhance certain aspects of it,[[messaging,NC,functionality,etc.]]. My home screen,aside from gridlock & dashboard X,is the same as before I JB'd it.

But ik some ppl JB 4 winterboard & dreamboard,& to completely change the look of iOS. I just wanna know who's like me and who's a themer :)

P.S. Got pics? Feel free !!
 
Both.

Used to be really big into theming, but stopped messing with winter board and themes all together now. I have made a couple permanent changes though, like changing out springboard badges and the media controls in the multitasking app switcher.

Now I only use tweaks I see as necessary like activator, springtomize and infonifolders.

Hate the word tweaker, but I suppose that is what I would be classified as now lol
 
A mixture of both. I love theming but that doesn't give my device the functionality that tweaking will.

I originally jb my iphone 4 to put spire and Siri onto it as Apple said I couldn't have it !

After playing around with themes I settled on tweaks and left theming behind.

That iPhone was stolen so I'm now on a stock 4s and loving it ,with only missing the various tweaks for a couple of weeks !
 
I'm both. I jailbreak for the tweaks, but I do replace the occasional system image I get tired of, and ugly app icons and in-app images as well. I don't bother with winterboard, five row this and three row that and such. It will only make things slower, and iOS seems fine to me with its understated black white grey blue interface, black on white text, and 4x4 icon grid.

what did you use to get 5 icon rows?

i forget which program i used (i deleted it), but when i did it, the icons didn't line up with the 5 row dock.

so for instance my homescreen icons looked like so:

1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
. 12345

You were probably using Iconoclasm? I'm using Springtomize 2. One of the best tweaks out there. Definitely recommend it.
 
I found all the tweaks I needed to make my iPhone more like a smartphone should be. I get bored with the UI from time to time and change icons, just like on my apples at home. Icons have become so slick and professional looking that I really don't worry much about that anymore. I've found a good balance of functionality, dependability and clean smart looking interface. And just leave it at that. I will probably not change anything and will upgrade to iOS 6 and iPhone 5 first, but will be hoping to jailbreak the iPhone 5 in a few months and using it stock until that happens! lol
