So....looks like blackberry messenger is coming to iOS devices at the end of April.

Can't wait

I wish, but sounds like an early April Fool's Joke, Crackberry had a little blip about this earlier

Dont call it total BS(as for the date IDK) there was a rumor not long ago that Androids BBM was close to being done and that ISO would not be to far behind. Let me see if I can find the page real fast.

Whats the best way to jailbreak iphone 4 on 4.1?

[Heavencloud]

]Also, enjoy your handicap.

So I just got my iPhone a couple weeks back (verizon), and I've sorta been looking into jailbreaking it. However, I don't really see what all the hype is about - is it much more then more customizable screens and the wifi hotspot thing? Those really don't entice me... Why do so many people do it in the end? I mean, I'd like to jailbreak it if it's worth the effort (and probably will if I find a reason), but I've yet to see something that sounds super awesome.

If 30 seconds of your time "isn't worth the effort", then honestly, I don't think I can help you.

[Ratatapa]

Ok then can you give me a link on how to jailbreak and all that stuff that represents it for a newbie?

P.S For Ipad

Jailbreaking

[DAKPluto]

If you mean iPad2, then no jailbreak available right now. If iPad 1, as long as you are not on 4.3(.1) then your best option is Greenpoison.

To the question on "why?" Spend 1 week with SBSettings, then trying going 2 days without. You will wear the top of your screen out trying to pull up your settings

[Nitsuki]

Btw tyche, w/ folderenhancer, is there any way of having a custom wallpaper per folder? And how did you change the folder icons?

I sorta did what you did w/ your theme and put the folders in the dock with everything, also what is the screen rez of a 3GS and a retina display, wanna custom make my own image. Sorry for all the questions.

While I do love my SBSettings, I couldn't live without my Lockinfo. If I couldn't see my email / weather / appointments from the lockscreen I might hate go crazy.

gd jailbreak really needs to come out for iPad 2.

[Heavencloud]

If 30 seconds of your time "isn't worth the effort", then honestly, I don't think I can help you.

The reason I said that is I didn't believe there was a jailbreak for the version of iOS that I have, and I was reading that a lot of people were having trouble with it in some comments. I don't wanna fuck up my phone, lol. I'll probably do it once I'm more confident that it'll work though.

You don't need folderenhancer to change the folder background image. I use a transparent background in folderenhancer though. You can find the .png for the folder background (and the folder icon) at the following path:

/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app

FolderSwitchBG.png (folder background)
FolderIconBG.png and [email protected] (folder icons for non retina and retina displays, respectively)

3gs screen resolution: 480x320
iphone 4 screen resolution: 960x640

Dunno about the Apple TV, but here are the questions about iPad:

1- Cydia is basically a "hub" for jailbreak activity. It is like an appstore and a whole lot more. It doubles as it's own unofficial appstore as well as a package installer, iDevice tweaker, etc. etc. It'll make sense once you boot it up.

2- No, everything on the official appstore/syncing/purchased apps etc will all work normally.

3- There are free apps and tweaks in Cydia and there are also paid ones, a lot of which are worth it. There is also a package you can install called Installous which will allow you to download most apps on the official Appstore for free. Obviously this is pirating.

4- There is a program that allows you to wirelessly sync from anywhere. Not sure about the movie question.
