Want to play ye olde LucasArts adventures on your iPhone? Here's a verbatim copy from the ScummVM forum post (obviously needs Installer.app):quote:To install ScummVM on your iPhone or iPod Touch: Once you've done that, be sure that you're copying the game files somewhere into /private/var to not clutter up the system partition. Not sure how it'll drain the battery though. Having tried it a little, I could feel where the ARM processor is located, though. Talking about that, when's the new Installer.app update due, that hopefully supports local installs into /private/var? I've been moving things there manually, but updates reinstall everything directly into /Applications.

Where are the replacement screen covers on the DLO site? I seem to be too stupid to dig them up. Where I'm going to use that thing, they're going to become dirty beyond repair in rather short time.

I'm getting a protection shell because I don't want to take any chances. Also, the environment I work in is pretty dusty. I've worn the iPod one day in my pocket without it wrapped in a plastic bag and dust already got in between the glass and the plastic border. The shell and protector would cover that up (I hope).

Kimli posted:I received my DLO case yesterday. It's pretty cool, but I came down with a massive case of the stupids right before I went to use it and ruined not one but THREE protective films for the front of my 'pod. The case itself looks really snazzy, but I won't be happy until I the new screens I had to order come in. I've ruined the single one, because trying to reapply it the first two times (loving air bubbles), it caught dust on the adhesive layer. And even if it would have worked, I tried to get the sticker of it, part of it kept stuck on it and would have ruined anyway. I put the iPod in the case and use it without film. Maybe I find some films around here, I'm not gonna order again overseas.

Any of you guys encoded videos for the iPod with tools other than lovely Quicktime? I'm done experimenting video quality with MEncoder while hammering everything into the profile the iPod supports. I'm hoping for B-frame support in the next gen iPod though. My video pass options look like this, doing two passes with turbo mode on first pass: code:

If you want to use your iPod for personal finance management, there's actually a decent solution out. Actually, it's a website called Moneytrackin, which doesn't look like Web 2.0 rear end anymore since a recent update, offers a web service API and their creators are also working on an iPhone/iPod application that looks pretty nice and is more powerful than the MobileMoney poo poo. Obviously, you need an account at that site, and things like accounts and periodic transactions have to be setup using the site, the rest can be done on the iPod. A first version of the application's found in Installer.app as iMoneytrackin.

There's a pretty  unit converter on Installer.app now.What I however still need is a scientific calculator. There's some HP1x calculator emulators, but these things are completely unintuitive in real life, as such the emulators are the same.

A lot of fence sitting will be involved here, I suppose. The UIKit is basically reverse engineered headers to the code libraries, right? The official SDK wouldn't be too different. I wonder how the 3rd party application landscape will look like some time after the SDK has been released.

I'm using manual media management now. But there still doesn't seem to be a way to hammer wallpapers into the iPod without using synchronisation. So, anyway, if I leave manual management on and then subsequently activate photo sync seperately, iTunes won't gently caress me over and delete all manually added songs when I hit Sync, right?

Now that the iPhone SDK key leaked, I sure hope that means Installer.app and most applications will make use of it, not requiring jailbreaks (well, until a key change or whatever).

Question: Manual media management is nice and all. But trying to add podcasts manually seems to make them go under in a blackhole, I can only see them on the Recently Added list. Pictures and wallpapers cannot be transferred manually at all. What if I enable automatic sync for Podcasts and Photos only, leaving the music sync alone, would it blow up my music collection if I try to sync?

How much of a battery draining effect does the EQ have? I was considering to enable it because the low frequency reproduction on the iPod seems to be a bit strange. Songs that have a rather strong bass line on my soundcard with neutral settings and regular headphones sound a little meager on my iPod with in-ear phones, which are supposed to have stronger bass.

What's this with SSH draining battery? That's not true. SSH doesn't even run if there aren't any active connections. launchd listens on port 22 and starts SSH when there's activity. SSH closes when there's no more connections.

kevdude posted:There's no way that's true. On holiday for the past few days, I've gone through 2 charges of my Touch. When I turned SSH off for the second run, the battery lasted TWICE as long, at least. This is normal movies/music usage, wifi has been off the whole time too. sshd does NOT run until I'm actually making a connection, and when I close the session, sshd disappears. This is with the package installed as is. NUDE GENTLEMAN posted:Did you guys install the SSH from the jailbreak program you used, or from the installer after you installed the BSD subsystem?

Does anyone even know if the upgrade fees stack? I'm still at 1.1.1, if I were to upgrade to 2.0.0 for its fee, would the other five apps come with it?

Anyone using in-ear headphones with their iPod? Which ones do you use? Do you also notice a godawful loud noise floor with them? Until right now I've used some Sony MDR-Whatever. When paused, you can make out a little noise when it's silent. When I've gotten my new laptop, it came with some Creative EP-630 ones. Trying them, there's a considerable noise floor. The difference between the in-ear phones is however that the Sony ones need more power to get to the same subjective volume level, which might explain the lesser noise. Does the DAC of the iPod introduce all that noise? The only other current testing option I have is the laptop, which is noisy, but I don't think an integrated sound chip on a crammed board like a laptop mobo is a nice reference.

I bought an used car radio from a friend (Alpine CDE-9850Ri), that has an iPod connector and predates the iPhone/iPod Touch by a year or two. However does my iPod work just fine with the radio. Can I take this as blanket evidence that any other accessory may work (safe complexer things like e.g. Nike+, which carries software)?

Seeing how there are various applications drawing on their own and doing sound playback, that there aren't any attempts to port a FFmpeg based media player to the iPhone/iPod to avoid conversion every time.

UnclePlasticBitch posted:I'm not sure if this is what you're asking about, but I went from jailbroken 1.1.4 to regular 2.0, and it was completely fine apart from losing my Jailbreak apps and related data. Just make sure you backup and sync before you do the restore and you should be fine.
