So its been fairly quiet then all the sudden a flood of “bug reports”, “security alerts”, or just “questions” on why SSH on reboot forces SSH to “ON” every reboot. First, this is by design and is not a bug. Please stop mailing me this as a bug report. Here are the reasons for the [...]

Update v1.0.6 (Nov 30, 2008): Made a couple small changes to the “more” app to hopefully address those that find it crashing as soon as it loads. Please try it out and let us know. If it crashes once, run it again. It attempts to do something different if it detects that it crashed the [...]

I have released an updated toggle pack that updates the Wifi and Phone toggles for FW 2.2. If you do not have FW 2.2, then you will find no change. For all of you that had issues on 2.2 with these toggles, I hope it helped. The toggles should behave just like they did on [...]

I have updated the quickpwn and pwnage guides as appropriate adding any differences for 2.2 and firmware links. I have a post for downloads of the 2.2 jailbreaks. I have updated the firmwares page adding the 2.2 firmware. I have updated BossPrefs and SBSettings toggles for 2.2. SBSettings toggles had to undergo major changes. I [...]

Pusher is RiPDev’s 2.2 version of a jailbreak. This should be avoided and not used. Instead use the dev team’s jailbreaks. RiPDev’s version will block access to / partition and make it impossible to install Cydia.  (They want you using Installer of course). It’s pretty much worthless since most the packages are in Cydia. The [...]

The Dev Team has posted its official Jailbreak for iPhone OS 2.2. Details from the dev team here. The current quickpwn and pwnage tutorials will work. Note that if you’re on Windows, your only option is quickpwn. Read Rule #1 below! Some release notes on it: GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and [...]

So for anyone that has not yet seen it, here is the reported changes for 2.2. Also, some preliminary tests have been performed on 2.2. Winterboard, Quickgold, and SBSettings are working (although every toggle has not yet been tested). Cydia has an update and is also working. Note, the 2.2 jailbreak is not yet out [...]

So iTunes 8.0.2 is out and FW 2.2 is out. This is a reminder: DO NOT UPGRADE YET. FW 2.1 is very stable. Hold off until a jailbreak is ready. It should not be too long of a wait. Also, if you are doing any unlocking, you definitely need to hold off on the upgrade [...]

Ok after a bit of sleep and some extra time, I debugged and got v1.0.1 out with working dock. Enjoy. I also released all the themes that were submitted. If you sent a theme to me and it’s not in Cydia right now, I don’t have it. Update: v1.0.3 is out fixing some user-reported bugs: [...]

SBSettings v1.0 is out. Make sure you get 1.0-3 (3rd repack). This release has the following features: 1) Brightness toggle 2) Themes 3) No longer launches at lock screen at all. 4) Home button can be used to close the window. What did not make it: Application launch dock.  I have been testing most these [...]

I have completed all major work on SBSettings v1.0 and am now just testing. The changes (that I can remember) are: 1) Brightness toggle / slider added 2) Themes added. We now have 8 addon themes. I have selected 2 of these (HUD and Tech Shadows) to be distributed with the core. The rest we [...]

So the themes interface is about completed in SBSettings so I thought I would give you all a preview of how it looks and works: First, when you load the “more” app, here is where you can select the theme. If you hit the little discloser, you can get a rudimentary preview of the theme. [...]

Are you an SBSettings themer? Then this news is for you! I have finished the SBSettings theme kit and posted it in the guides section here. The guide will explain what each element is that can be themed, where the theme folders are expected to go, and provides some screenshots. It also has a link [...]

Is your iPhone running slower than it did after you first jailbroke it? Do you have issues where apps are running slower or taking longer to load than they use to? Some of this can be caused by what you have chosen to install on your iPhone. Let’s take a look at some things that [...]
