Yeah thats fine. i just wanted to point that guide out.
I was just looking over the guides and noticed that in the "themes" guide it actually tells you how to change the SMS bubbles
Ok cool. Whats the dark bluish bubble that comes up when you get a text? i want to change that too cause personally i dont like it.

also does anyone here know how to get custom keyboards working on anything higher than 2.0?

I might as well keep going while im here. alidsl will show up eventually. Is there a way to make one app function and take over for another app?
ex. on android you have your built in sms app, but i downloaded a second app (handcent, any andrioders out there, get that crap) and instead of having to check two of the same messages, i chose handcent to take priority and the built in sms app didnt get any messages cause handcent handled all of it.

1. Dunno about that bubble, something might come up if you google "editing notification bubble on iphone" (or something to that effect)

2. Theres a payed app on cydia called "colorkeyboard"

3. Not sure what you're asking...

1 ok cool
2 sweet
3. ok. so say i have the normal sms app, and i download a second app that also does sms. i want the downloaded one to take priority over the normal sms app so i can send texts and stuff from the new app and not the old one. sorry does that make sense?

@bortzonator: go to cydia, catagories, repositories and install "SOSiPhone" then search for "multitap keyboard" and install it.

Once installed go into Settings -> General-> Keyboards -> International -> Keyboards -> Multitap.


Scrap that not compatible with os4

@alidsl i think you can get the same thing if you just turn on the kana keypad and hit options lol ive been searching far and wide for a T9 keypad with predictive text for the iphone, but there are none

izzzzz cool alidsl.
Ive kinda given up hope for one, even if i think it would make tons of people happy ( trust me ive read lots of forums with people complaining about the same thing)
I used one for android and the dictionary was very very limited. I dont think single or small groups are good at this stuff. I think it needs to be a project by a big corp. or something like the official T9 or motorola's version: iTap. oh well.



EDIT: Ok got my iphone. I freaked at first cause sound only came out of the right speaker. A quick google search clears that up. The right one is the mic. sheesh.
Ok so i get a

Code:
_abort() food.c:43
error with flash sites.

Also i have an iPhone 4. Do you have HD aspect ratios for everything under making your own theme? My SMS background is way too small and blown up. Now it looks all pixelaty.

EDIT 2 the correct aspect ratio for SMSBackground.png is 640 x 960 with ppi a 326. the problem im running into is that i think winterboard is scaling my images down when i throw the SMSBackground.png into Library/theme/folder

For 5.0 and later, you need to "stitch" together an IPSW with redsn0w. In redsn0w, you can stitch together an IPSW by going to "Extras" -> "SHSH blobs" -> "Stitch." Browse for the IPSW, then browse for your 5.0.1 SHSH file.

This is unreadable due to formatting in the first post, unfortunately. Update it or remove it really, a shame...


Hi satangel, ive been out of the loop a really long time. Obviously there has been a upgrade to the forum that broke my hours of formatting haha

Honestly Ive forgotten most i used to know about this topic which is a shame really. Probably best to remove this post at this point

Yessir, you're not to blame, a lot of my older posts are messed up too.
I was just looking for options to jailbreak an old iPad 1 I might get for free soon, else I would never have found this post. I'll figure it out without this just fine too, thanks :)

OpenSSh



A guide written by Alidsl and Slyakin

Transfer files to and from your iDevice
iphone_openssh.png


Warning:
Do not delete a file that you don't know about

If there is a theme you want to change of a deb file you want to install, this is what you wantWhat is "SSH"?What SSHing your iphone/ipod touch is, is the ability to copy/move files to and from your device, in this Guide I will explain how to use it and how to install it. SSH stands for secure shell and can be use for remote access and executing commands to a computer (or iphone/ipod touch) miles away.

Installation

Windows
There are a number of different SSH programs, personally I use WinSCP found here, installation is completely straightforward and all that is required to install is to run the file "winscp427setup.exe". When install is complete you can leave the program for now.
Mac
I don't own a mac but from what I have looked at a program named "cyberduck" is better than the already built in SSH client bundled with the mac OS, it can be found here
iPhone/iPod touch/iPad
For both windows and mac users
opne.png

Search on Cydia "OpenSSH", the program with the above icon will show up, download and reboot your device
I recommend having SBsettings as well to turn SSH on and off.

How to use



Windows

Run WinSCP. This screen will appear
winscploginguidepic.png
To find your host name go to settings -> wi-fi tap on the network you are currently using and copy the IP address into the host name box.

For the user-name and password boxesUser-name: rootPassword: alpineWhen you login you have succesfully SSHed your device

Important!!



1. Download mobile terminal (Use the beta for 3.2+ FW), search it on Cydia2. Type ‘login’ command (without quotes) and then press enter.3. Now type ‘root’ (without quotes) as your login and ‘alpine’ as your current root password.4. Once you have logged in as root, type ‘passwd’ command (without quotes) again and press enter.5. It will now prompt you to enter a new password (twice). Simply enter your desired new password (for changing mobile password) and you should be all fine.

How to get flash on your device



A guide written by Alidsl

picture003b.png



This will only work for the iphone 3Gs (with new bootroom), ipod touch 3g and Ipad

If you are getting an error that mentions arm7 then you are trying to install it on a older device.Current version: 0.02There are two ways to install frash
1. Add the repo-http://repo.benm.at/
benmrepo.png
2. When you've added the source and all the updating is done open the source and install "frash"
picture002.png
3. Reboot4. When the reboot is done you have flash on your device
This way should only be done if you are having problems with the first1. Download the frash deb file from filetrip2. SSh your device (if you don't know how visit the guide here)3. Go into "/var/root/Media" and create a folder called "Cydia", in that folder create another called "AutoInstall"4. Place the deb file in the AutoInstall folder5. Now reboot

TWICE

6. Flash sites will now work
When frash is installed it's recommended to test through this sitehttp://www.cristgaming.com/pirate.sfwCredits:>>Comex (Jailbreak and developing frash)

smile.gif
* Port LCD Driver (I'll probably have to do this one.. I have some good info already)* Verify the DMA driver works (again.. it's the same as the iphone2g)* Port the rest - at least we'll have the basic openiboot working by this point

Downgrading





A guide written by Alidsl


Requirements:
  • SHSH blobs saved for the target ispw using the firmware umbrella or on Cydia
  • The ispw for the firmware you want to downgrade to
Before I start I want to clarify one thing, the difference between DFU (Definitely F***ed Up) mode and restore modeRestore mode is probably what most people call DFU mode, but there's a differenceRestore mode has the "connect to itunes" picture but DFU mode looks as though the iDevice is off(here's a cool pic I found to explain the difference (minus the writing))
iphone-dfu-mode-screen1.jpg
Before you attempt to downgrade I recommend you sync with itunes and let it backup your deviceI also recommend you read the entire guide before diving in

The itunes side

If you have itunes open, close itnavigate to this file
CODE

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts


Or for mac
CODE

\etc\hosts


Open in notepad, if the file is on one line (and not clearly layed out) use wordpadEdit the file and add this address at the end (Saurik's server)
CODE

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com


and put a "hash" (#) before (to get SHSH from your computer)
CODE

127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com


so it becomes
CODE

#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com


my hosts file looks like thisCODE
# Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.## This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.## This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one# space.## Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.## For example:## 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host127.0.0.1 localhost#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
Now make sure that the file is set to "Read-only"

The Downgrade

First. Make sure your device is ON and itunes is openMake sure your device is plugged in (so you know when it has entered DFU)Now hold down the Sleep and the home button for 10 secondsafter 10 seconds (NOT when the apple appears) let go of the sleep button and keep holding the home buttonPlease note that if you see the "connect to itunes" picture you've held down the sleep button for too longIf you see the itunes picture just try againNow when you've entered DFU itunes should come up with this message
10141.png
even though the iDevices screen is blacknow on itunes go to your device and hold shift (option for mac) and click on restorenavigate to where you saved the ipsw you want and open ititunes should restore the device to the firmware and all is well

How to make your own theme





A guide written by Alidsl



Winterboard has not been updated for 4.1 yet, some aspects will not work


Requirements:
  • Winterboard (download from Cydia)
  • Image editing program
I will cover most main elements of theming, if I've missed anything out PM meand for the sake of this guide let's say your theme is called "theme"All of the pictures are case sensetive

Icons

speaker_icon.jpg
Under the \theme\ folder make a folder called "icons" (\theme\icons)1. Start your icon on a 60x60 canvas (you can change the size of an icon but the stock icons are 60x602. Make the icon (no real colour requirements)3. Save the icon into the /theme/icons/ with the EXACT name of the app (eg. for "iPod" the icon would be "iPod.png, this is case sensetive)4. Make more iconsThe "proper" wayFor a HD/Retina icon1. Make your 114x114 (With rounded corners)2. Create a folder under \theme\ called "bundles" (\theme\bundles\)3. Now in \bundles\ create a folder that corresponds to the appTo find out what you need to call this folder visit this google spreadsheet "icon"4. Now save the icon under you \theme\bundles\XXXXX\ folderTo find the name of the icon from the same spreadsheet as above (icon)5. This applies to 3rd party (unofficial apps) aswell

Wallpaper, lockscreen and dock

iphone-touch-dock.jpg
Wallpaper/Lockscreen1. Create a new image that is 320x4802. Make the image3. Save it into the \theme\ folder as "Wallpaper.png" or for the lockscreen save in the same place as "LockBackground.jpg"Dock1. Create an image that is 320x912. Make a dock (Transparacy DOES work)3. Save it into \theme\ as Dock.pngWant to get rid of dock icon shadows?Create a new folder in \theme\ called "bundles" under \theme\bundles\ create another folder called "com.apple.springboard"Just create a transparent 60x60 icon and save it to the new \com.apple.springboard\ folder and name it "[email protected]"Copy the file twice and name one "[email protected]" and the other "[email protected]" all in the com.apple.springboard folder

Sliders

slidetounlock2.jpg
in \theme\bundles\ create a new folder called "com.apple.TelephonyUI"1. Create a 79x96 icon (Should be transparent but you can change it to see a different look, this is not the actual slider)2. Save this as "[email protected]" into the "com.apple.TelephonyUI" folder3. copy this file twice and rename the copies to "[email protected]" and "[email protected]"4. Now for the slider, create a 142x94 image5. Make your slider6. Save as “[email protected]” into the \com.apple.TelephonyUI\folderNow your slider worksChange slide to unlock text1. In \Bundles\com.apple.springboard\ create a folder named "en.lproj"2. Open notepad and paste the following
CODE

AWAY_LOCK_LABELXXXXXXXX


3. Change the "XXXXXXXX" to whatever you want (There is a character limit so don't be stupid)4. Save in the \en.lproj\ folder as "SpringBoard.strings"

Custom carrier logo

bmw-iphone-vodafone_thumb.jpg
1. In \theme\bundles\ create a new folder, you can find what the folder for your phone beneathUS folders:AT&T: com.apple.ATT_US(Not sure about others, if anyone can point me to a list it would be great)2. Make an 80x40 image for your carrier3. Save under your carrier folder (com.apple.XXXX_XX) as "[email protected]" and "[email protected]"

Signal bars

1. In \theme\ create a folder called \UIImages\ (case sensetive)2. Make a 19x20 image and make one for all these:
  • "Black_0_Bars.png" (No Reception)
  • "Black_1_Bars.png" (hardly any recption)
  • "Black_2_Bars.png" (etc.)
  • "Black_3_Bars.png"
  • "Black_4_Bars.png"
  • "Black_5_Bars.png" (max reception)
3. Save all of these into the \theme\UIImages\ folder4. Now do the same thing (and the same pics) but change "Black" into "Silver" (eg. Black_2_Bars.png --> Silver_2_Bars.png)

Wi-fi bars

1. Create all four wi-fi icons at 21x212. Name them like so
  • "Black_0_WifiBars.png" (no wi-fi)
  • "Black_1_WifiBars.png"
  • "Black_2_WifiBars.png"
  • "Black_3_WifiBars.png" (max wi-fi)
Now do the same thing (and the same pics) but change "Black" into "Silver" (eg. Black_2_WifiBars.png --> Silver_2_WifiBars.png)

Custom Battery

BatteryBG_4.png
1. If you haven't already make a folder in \theme\bundles\ called "com.apple.SpringBoard"2. Create 17 528x258 images3. Name them [email protected] ("X" can be any number between 1 and 17, 17 being full charge 1 being empty)4. save them all in /bundles/com.apple.SpringBoard/

How to make a deb file





A guide written by Alidsl




The Control file

1. Make a folder (preferably one letter (can be renamed later)), for the purpose of the tutorial it's called "Y"2. Create a folder in Y called "DEBIAN" (case sensitive), in this folder create a text file and put this inCODE
Package: com.gbatemp.yourappName: Appname (No spaces alowed)Version: NumberArchitecture: iphoneos-armDescription: Small Description (this is just the line beneath the theme/app name)Homepage: Your WebsiteMaintainer: YourName Author: YourNameSponsor: YourWebSiteName Section: Theme/tweak etc


MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS AN EMPTY LINE AT THE END, IF THERE ISN'T IT WON'T WORK

3. Fill in the necessary info and save as "control" (NO EXTENSION) into \Y\DEBIAN\

Where does my app/theme go?
[title:D on't get this wrong]For a theme

1. Inside of \Y\ make a folder called "Library"2. In \Y\Library\ make another folder called "Themes"3. Finally in \Y\Library\Themes\ paste your theme folder (Plus a .theme at the end of the folder name ie. Megaman.theme)

For an App

1. In \Y\ make a folder called "Applications"2. In \Y\Applications\ paste your app folder (Plus a .app at the end of the folder name ie. iFile.app)

Creating the deb file

1. SSh into your device (if you don't know how to do this then follow the guide here)2. Navigate to \var\root\ copy/paste "Y" into this folder3. In the WinSCP terminal type this command (case sensetive and Y being the name of your folder)
CODE

dpkg -b Y


3a. Or in the Mobile terminal type in the command
CODE

login root


b. Then it should prompt you for a password, the password should be "alpine" (unless you've changed it)c. Now type in this command (case sensetive and Y being the name of your folder)
CODE

dpkg -b Y


4. Now the deb file is in the \var\root\ folder, be sure to delete it after you have copied it to your computer

*- I Recommend you use an Iphone 4 or Ipod Touch 4 For quality reasonsThis was tested with an iPod touch 4Also the text looks very pixely and unreadable but everything else seems to workP.S First Tutorial
yay.gif
Requirements:
  • an iPhone/iPod touch
  • iFunbox/SSh etc.
  • 7-zip
  • An iPad ipa
  • Some rubbish free app installed (I used Dice Match]
Current working games:
  • World of Goo
1. Unzip the World of Goo ipa file.2. In the "Payload" folder there should be a folder called "WoG.app" open this and copy all files inside.3. Open the folder that has your free app in, open the Freeterribleapp.app (freeterribleapp being the name of your free terrible app) folder.4. Delete all the files inside and paste the world of goo files into the *.app folder.5. Now from the original World of Goo ipa files you should be left with two files (iTunesartwork and the metadata)6. These should be copied straight into the folder containing you free app (overwriting it's iTunesartwork and metadata)7. Now respring. World of Goo should be on your springboard as a white icon (this can be themed on winterboard)

Here's a better looking version of it, I just ran it through an HTML to BBCode converter. It needs to be formatted a bit further, but that shouldn't take too long ;)
