Comprehensive iPhone Apps/Jailbreak Thread

[DAKPluto]

As for your redsnow/pwnagetool question, it's a question of what system are you jailbreaking on. redsnow = windows, pwn = mac So you don't have a choice.

above hit most of your other questions. As for the movie thing, there are some that will do mkv directly, but as of now they can still be choppy if anything 720/1080.

Ugh, I think I'm going to break down and just update my iphone. Are there any cydia apps that either don't work or are buggy with 4.3.1? I'm still on 4.0.1

[Pooky]

Upgrading to 4.3.1 now, then gonna jailbreak again. So glad I didn't have to go without a jailbreak for long :D

FYI, if you wasn't already aware, new cydia is out. It's a hell of a lot speedier. Also, just nabbed folder enhancer, which is a fucking amazing app. Folders are so much better and faster, as illustrated in the following pics. Been playing with my themeing. I get asked about the theme alot (or I got a few PMs before). I know it's a dbar theme meant for a non-retina display. I had to do a fucking ton of icon editing and some script tweaks to get it to work right on the retina. I'd love to help people set it up, but quite honestly, it's been sort of a work in progress for a long time, so I can't really recall all of the shit I had to download or change to get it to this point. I'm still on 4.0.1 because I don't want to upgrade and spend weeks figuring out how to do this again. That, in particular, pisses me off, because it's only after 4.1 you can squeeze retina icons into the status bar. That's they they're a bit pixelated.

Lockscreen


Homescreen looks like this. No other pages or icons. It's just what you see here. Phone, text, and safari are obvious.


When you click "Apps", this is where folderenhancer kicks in. It pops up all my apps in a transparent folder.


Then, you can slide your finger across the screen to go through the folder like pages on a non-jailbroken homescreen. Annoying thing here is the 5 icon SB I have installed and it clutters up some words. Not worth removing however.


Oh, and here's the wallpaper if anyone wants it.

Brief tutorial on how to get this setup?

Next Jailbreak questions (Sorry hehe)

Do you need itunes to jailbreak

What I mean is exemple I use my work MBP to sync my work Iphone4

Can I jailbreak it using my imac at home or do I need to use my mbp due to itunes?


Also what apps should i get for jailbreak?

I hear about Ifile open ssh shshblob and pkgbackup

[Tyche]

Sbsettings

And no need for iTunes as far as I know.

[DAKPluto]

Don't need itunes, but you do need the drivers/files from itunes to connect to your phone over USB. You can install itunes then uninstall it and those files will remain.

[DAKPluto]

Hate new Jailbreak days -_- cydia slows down like it's on dialup

[Boyiee]

Worth updating phone through itunes to 4.whatver from 4.0.1?

[nitsuj]

Worth updating phone through itunes to 4.whatver from 4.0.1?

Didn't 4.2 add folders/multitask, or was that just on the iPad?

IMO it's always worth updating, you're sitting on tons of security vulnerabilities if you don't, and this is assuming you changed your default root password from alpine to something else of course.

[Mrf]

I just finished updating from 4.1 to 4.3.1.

Not really much difference between them, the main reason I decided to update was to fix the DST alarm clock bugs.

[Pooky]

Just a heads up to those Jailbreaking to 4.3.1:

I'm pretty sure apple fucked around with a lot of file locations, a lot of shit isn't really working right atm. Its going to take some time for updates to trickle out on packages, if they come at all

Almost done tweaking my theme after digging through SSH, just a couple questions:

How did you get folderenhancer to load icons on only the bottom half of the screen?
And when tweaking the overlays, do I have to edit the PNG and the XML?

I use a cydia app called Iconoclasm to allow me to do 5x5 layouts and another cydia app called grid which allows me to put my icons wherever I like the easiest way possible. hope that helps

[Tyche]

First question was answered above, second depends on the overlay tweaking. But it's probably just a PNG edit.

Thanks :D

Now all I need is to find this last lock slider gradient, tweak my PNG's a bit, and get rid of the statusbar/dock reflections.

Here's what I've got so far, its a bit messy since I've still got a ton of work to do ._.;;;

I'm going to be messing with the overlays/text a lot, and most likely end up making a set of icons if I ever get around to it. But its a decent start for tonight

[AvidLoki]

So thankfully the new jailbreak came out and I was finally able to try it on my phone since I accidentally updated and lost it all...

Anywho I used redsn0w on my 32gb 3GS (4.3.1) and looks good. My only gripe is for some reason my signal strength took a blow and now it can barely pass 3 bars no matter where I'm at.

Does anyone else have this issue?

[Ratatapa]

I want to jailbreak my apple TV 4.2.1 (Latest version) When I receive my Micro USB cable but

I heard that Greenpoison has a WIFI problem after I heard there is a fix to solve this but I don't know what to do exept that it needs open ssh

Does anyone have a How tO from how to install the packages after the jailbroke is done till the end?

Thanls :D

For whatever reason, diskaid/ifunbox will not access my root folder on 4.3.1 ifile does. This needs to be fixed

edit: Fixed with afc2add
