Seeing as how that theme was released in 2008 it is highly unlikely that it is compatible with 5.1.1, you would have to go through and manually rename all the icons in order for it to work. If you don't want to SSH you should use USB instead. You can access the phone's filesystem with USB file explorers such as iFunBox and iExplorer.

its not that i dont want to ssh. its just not working. everytime i open it it gives me an error that says invalid memory access. ill try the usb method. and what files do i have to rename? i dont mind doing that

ok ifunbox works perfect. i found the app folders and the themes folders. can someone point me to a walkthrough for 5.1.1 that explains what to rename exactly?

There are no walkthroughs, you just have to go through each app folder and figure out what the name and file structure is for the icon and then rebuild the theme

man that sucks. i have no idea wich icon to rename. theres like 5 in each folder and i dont want to screw it up

It's best to just use themes that are compatible with your current firmware version. If it was a 5.x theme and there were just one or two icons you would have to change, I would say go for it. But since it's a 3.x theme you have to change every single icon and it's just not worth it.
