How to Rename Applications on Your iPod Touch with Cydia's "Rename" App

Hey guys, how's it going? It's Brandon here from BB's iPod Touch help, and today I'll be showing you how to rename any of your applications that you have on your iPod Touch. First generation iPods should work with this method, but if you have a second-generation iPod with Cydia installed, it might not work. Don't worry, though - I'll show you how to get Cydia up and running first.

To start, open up Cydia and wait for it to load up. You'll see the Recently Added section, which is where you can find new tweaks and apps. Type "rename" into the search bar and click on the result that says "Rename". This will take you to a page with more information about the app.

Clicking on the "Rename" app will give you a brief overview of what it does, but since I've already explained how it works, let's skip that part. What you'll see is an icon like this, which appears on your screen when you open up the Cydia app. Now, if you want to rename one of your applications, simply click on the "Rename" icon.

This will take you to a page where you can modify the name of any application you have installed, either from Cydia or the App Store. At the top of this screen, you'll see an option that says "Modify". Clicking on this will allow you to rename your apps with ease.

To use the app, simply type in the new name for your app and click "Install". This won't restart your springboard, so don't worry about having to reboot your device. Instead, it will simply return to the Cydia main screen. From there, you can navigate back to your home screen by clicking the Home button.

Now that we've covered how to rename applications with Cydia's "Rename" app, let's take a closer look at some of its features. One of the coolest things about this app is that it allows you to make multiple changes all at once. For example, if you want to change the name of several apps at once, you can simply type them out in one line, separated by spaces.

I tried this out with a few examples and was impressed by how easy it was to rename multiple apps in one go. This feature is perfect for people who like to give their apps cute nicknames or abbreviations - it's a great way to keep track of your apps without having to manually change each one individually.

Of course, the "Rename" app isn't just useful for renaming applications. It also allows you to make other changes to your home screen, such as changing the name of icons like Winter Board and Stocks (or whatever names you've chosen). This is a great feature if you're looking for ways to personalize your iPod Touch without having to jailbreak it.

Overall, I'm really impressed with Cydia's "Rename" app. It's easy to use, powerful, and can be customized to fit your needs. Whether you're looking to rename just one or two apps, or make several changes at once, this app is definitely worth checking out.
