What's the point of using BiteSMS on an iPad? Serious question, I don't have a clue.

Don't they have the service that lets you create a number and buy packages to text through the web? If you always have your iPad with you, and always have a data connection, might be worth it to have all of your communication on the tablet. I wouldn't, but I can see the case.

That's why I'm asking. I didn't realize so many people would use biteSMS with their iPads. You can jailbreak 4.3.3 fine with the other tools on any other device and biteSMS works.

I don't have an iPad at all but I used the new jailbreakme to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 4.3.3 and if it won't work, that's kind of a pain.

Diabolik900 posted:Because it's easier? Why would you use redsn0w or pwnagetool when you have Jailbreakme as an option? Redsn0w and pwnagetool are better tested, and don't have oddities like BiteSMS not working. I understand using jbme for an iPad2 where there's no existing jailbreak but it's not like redsn0w is very hard to use.

Yeah, I hate to bandwagon this, but redsn0w and pwnagetool are both very easy to use - tedious? Yes. But there are very clear and easy to follow instructions so it is not difficult.

The reason I used jailbreakme was pretty simple: My iPhone had been working just fine running 4.2(.2 I think) so I never bothered to research or stay up to date on new jailbreaks. Along comes old reliable Comex/MuscleNerd/jailbreakme.com so I figured why the hell not and updated/restored last night. Sorry for trying it the easy way I guess?

What is my best option for a tethering app? I have an iPhone 4, 4.3.3. I won't be tethering very often, and it'll mostly be my wifi iPad2, and the occasional laptop. I've never tethered, and I don't really understand the difference between using bluetooth and wifi, except I think I've read that bluetooth is easier on the battery? With the addition of the native wifi hotspot, I'm leaning towards TetherMe, along with a SBSettings toggle for the hotspot. Does MyWi offer anything that TetherMe doesn't in my case? With TetherMe, will it end up being as simple as SBSettings->toggle hotspot->iPad automatically connects to wifi?

Here's about the best explanation I've found as to why BiteSMS (and limited other apps) aren't working correctly: http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=12895815&postcount=49 I'd imagine those jailbreak applications that aren't working because of the new type of jailbreak--and especially BiteSMS because of its active developers--will all be updated fairly shortly and begin working. In the meantime, if you jailbroke with JailbreaMe.com and absolutely can't live without BiteSMS, just follow the how-to in the op and install redsn0w. The potential for better performance & fewer stability issues with a UnionFS-type jailbreak seems like it's worth putting up with BiteSMS not working until the developers fix it though.

I can live with Messages.app for a few days.

I bought retina pad on my ipad2, did the device authorisation and all that jazz since it was my first purchase, and it still thinks i am unauthorised when trying to launch applications that can use it. for lovely software. I dont know how people put up with this poo poo after using a non-JB idevice and how everything works beautifully as is.

MyWi also does normal wifi hotspot-tethering like TetherMe and has more options: you can set the transmit strength, so you can trade of battery usage for wifi transmit distance (30% power uses about 1/3 the power of TetherMe and goes a good 10 feet.) And you can set it to use a status bar icon when on instead of TetherMe's giant throbbing blue bar which (1) uses way more battery and (2) fucks up some apps so you can't really see all of the screen on the iPhone when you're tethering. It's like that red "return to call" bar you've probably seen, but you can't turn it off as long as any device is being tethered, and it kind of sucks. But it may not be an issue for you if you don't care about tethering battery usage or plan to use your phone much while tethering.

Weird, never had that issue and everything was perfect for me. Sorry you had a bad experience, but don't let it end the best thing that ever happened to your iDevice.

So a late 'reply' to the "People excited for Jailbreaking only want to Pirate" argument, as well as something that I think NEEDS to be recommended Jailbreak App 101... Browser Changer. Nothing gets my goat more than having and using iCab Mobile, only to have my Youtube shortcut, anything I open in Mail, etc... all open in Safari. This allows you to pick your default browser that EVERYTHING opens to. It is glorious! One thing I'd like to ask of anyone who has used this app... can you make it so when you open something it does NOT hijack your existing tab? It should create a new tab, but it doesn't. It changes the tab you left your browser on.

This hasn't been working for me on my iPad with iCab. Kinda bummed since I love it on my iPhone. I assume it works fine for everybody else?

It was only one folder, too.

To answer my own question, this in fact worked, although some of the stuff doesn't seem to apply. I managed to install XBMC and get that working, and performance was ok at best. Definitely worth it for a second bedroom, but I'm not sure I could stand it as a full time HTPC. Can you do anything else cool with a JB'd Apple TV?

I would recommend Seas0npass and the XBMC installation directions here. Also, the AppleTV thread is more useful for ATV2 jailbreak questions.

Display weather in an otherwise wasted piece of screen, as well as the ability to move the menus around and remove stuff you'll never use. And obviously SSH access. Like I've said before what would make JB ATV2s even better is if there was a tweak to allow MLB.tv to run thru a proxy to avoid blackout BS.

And no, I just installed whatever version it pulled with the apt-get command. I'm gonna let him screw with it over the weekend and see what problems he has. He didn't seem to notice or care about the sluggishness I saw, and the less support I have to do on it the better.

For me it does not. It's like I'm not even touching it. I've tried everything and the only thing I can do is respring or do a search for whatever app is in the folder.

Retinapad is loving sweet. It is seriously lame that it's not just built into iOS. Also, the Awful app is quite readable on iPad with retinapad blowing it up to a readable size. Perhaps a bit too big on the text size, but very easy on the eyes.
