Yes, I did both. Worked fine for me.
Doesn't show up for me either, not in apps folder or Cydia. Must run in the background.
According to the command window when I unpacked it, it worked.
Got a tip for us?

Lesson learned. I just installed Bosspfres via SSH but that doesn't load in safe mode either.
Does anybody know the command to uninstall a package manually? I'm googling ATM but not much luck.
I have SBsettings and assumed I can use that in any emergency. But I didn't realize that even that wouldn't work in safe mode.
Seems to be working for most everybody but you. Sorry but you can always restore, re-JB/UL if worst comes to worst.
Phew I just took a plunge and deleted Winterboard.app. That easily fixed it. Time to try again
Ok guys, dumb question. I followed the instructions posted above, everything is unpacked, no how do I get this thing running?
When you restart, they should run as iphone boots up
Does it open when you tap the icon ?
Also, Go to Cydia/manage/packages and see if Winterboard lists the new version you just dropped in. If so, it's working.
This totally worked for me-THANKS!
I am so SERIOUSLY STOKED about this-I just got the 3GS today and already have my 3G sold for $175. *So life is good

MAKE SURE THE COMMAND IS EXACTLY CORRECT. Cut & Paste if need be, spaces are critical.
That's what I did last time. It said unpacking but then froze on "setting up winterboard." How long should that step take? Also, you just stick the deb file in any directory, right? Since you are deleting it afterwards.
If it matters im using WinSCP.
EDIT: oh, do i need the new mobilesubstrate first?
So you just place the new deb winterboard file into the temp folder along with the new mobile substrate....restart phone and presto?

Only thing on this is-the .deb files in my temp directory were ALREADY gone, I didn't have to delete them.
Is this okay?
Took about 3 seconds or less for each file.
I used cut and paste so I don't screw up command.
Don't forget to get Cydia out of Categories first !!
No you have to install them either using a terminal program on your mac/PC or type the commands directly from mobile terminal on the iPhone (assuming you have installed that).
Either way will work. Doing via SSH allows you to cut and paste the commands.
I suggest installing mobilesbstrate before winterboard since it is a core component for winterboard.
i have no icon for Winterboard on my springboard, am i suppose to? However, when I browse packages it is there along with the Winterboard settings package i just installed. Where do i go from here to get themes on it? Thanks for the quick reply.
Yeah I meant tmp not temp-old habits die hard (recovering windows user here).
Anyway, they were not there after installation but all is working fine.

Did you reboot the phone after installation?
I'm having trouble with this. After unpacking the .deb file with terminal on the iphone (which I've put in the tmp directory via DiskAid).. i don't see the winterboard icon. So i respring (restart) the iphone. The winterboard icon shows up now.. however, I'm stuck in safe mode. What am I doing wrong?

That's a whole other course. There are some themes in Cydia, you can import them thru Cydia, then open Winterboard and tap them to a checkmark.
Sorry, too late tonight. I have to watch my Grandson early in the AM.
Yes, after I unpacked the .deb files, I deleted them from my temp directory. i then used SBsettings to reboot. After Reboot i searched for Winterboard, only option was to delete. so im assuming its there, but I have no icon and it did not start running after reboot. Did i miss something along the way?
That is quite alright. Thanks for your help. I seen some tutorials bout using SSH to put themes in. I think i can figure it out for the most part. If I don't ill look to you guys for help.
Im just wondering where my icon went?? hmm...
