Most of people come to me asking for help about computer problem have their most problem is: DATA-LOSS.

The most reasons are:

They save all their data in “My Documents” folder and then Windows crashed. They have to install Windows again with Dish Formatted.
They save all their valuable data on the Desktop or C drive…which is the same problem as above.
Their laptop was stolen or broken
They lost their USB Flash device or their Cell phone/BlackBerry/iPhone…

Yes, there’s many other reasons for data-loss and I just can’t list them all here. What to do if you’re in this trouble? I hope I can tell you in another blog post. In this post I will show you how to avoid this from happening. (If you find this post helpful please help me to spread the words to your friends – there’s a share button at the end of this post).

Tip 1: Never save your data in the DEFAULT place.

DON’T SAVE DATA IN C: drive/My Documents/Desktop…which is belonged to unstable Operating System like Windows or even Linux, SAVE them in D: drive, E: drive or burn them into CD/DVD. This way is just a best practice to help data-losing in most cases.

Tip 2: Save your important data on the cloud with Email

Nowadays everybody uses good storage email services like Gmail, Hotmail. Yahoo Mail…

They give you a great amount of storage, eg: Gmail give us about 7GB for free with fast uploading.

Why don’t you send yourself an email contain the most important file? But please note that these mail service won’t allow any file type, so please use Winrar or Winzip to compress them. Also make a hard-to-guess email password.

First thing before you want to customize your phone or iPod without Apple control, you need to Jailbreak it. There’re many way to jailbreak your iDevice, but it’s not the main point here.

In second step, you’ll need Winterboard. Winterboard is an application that let you customize your iPhone/iPod. Winterboard allows you to customize Springboard of your iDevice. Using Winterboard you can change its icons, customize applications, status bar graphics, dock graphics, install themes and change wallpapers of your iPhone/iPod Springboard. You can even customize sounds on your iPhone. With Winterboard you can theme almost everything that comes to your mind. And now I will guide you with the installation.

Perquisite: how to install Winterboard on your device.

1.Launch Cydia from SpringBoard

2.Tap the Search tab located on the bottom tab bar and search for WinterBoard

3.Once WinterBoard appears, tap it. Then tap Install.

4. Then you should now see the WinterBoard being installed. Once installation is done, tap Reboot Device and wait for your iDevice to return to the lockscreen

Now you get Winterboard on your device and can start freely customize your device. You can do it by downloading your theme from Cydia or by the way that I prefer, downloading from sites and copy it to private/var/stash/Theme.xxx throught iFunbox. It’s common for theme, lockscreen, status bar… You just need to go to Winterboard, tick on Winterboard’s configurable options, respring and … boom … your iDevice now looks so fantastic.

In all part that Winterboard can change, I like to play on Lockscreen because it change your iPhone/iPod excellently in a so simple way.

All over these complicate steps I told you, the most important and hardest steps is how you can get the right Locksreen for Winterboard. Not all Lockscreen in Cydia n sites is at your kind. Ewww, it’s really difficult, right? But now, it’s the easiest and simplest stage, because I will bring you the most simply beautiful Lockscreen right now
