This is exactly what did it for me. I was having huge problems with my keyboard until I shut all the screen gestures off (besides status bar ones for SBS)

I hadn't even thought to try that, but turning off the Lockinfo's Infoshade "swipe down to activate" made my home button is a lot more responsive to single clicks.

If you're using 4.3+ Apple changed the file format for pictures. Instead of .png or .jpg, they use .cbitmap. If you have a custom lockscreen that points to where the wallpaper would normally be located, there is no LockBackground.png anymore, it's LockBackground.cbitmap.

In order for a custom theme to change, you need to change the CSS or HTML in the theme to point to an image inside of the theme folder itself.

What the gently caress is apple trying to accomplish changing the format? That makes zero sense, I do not get them sometimes.

Wow, thank you for this... Seriously, I could not figure out what was going on with my home button. Seems 100% more responsive so far.

Switching to "double tap status bar" fixed all of my issues, and I still get to use infoshade since it's actually pretty handy for checking emails in other apps.

Just guessing, but a bitmap does not need to be decoded/decompressed into memory first. The same reason Windows used to make a BMP out of any JPG/PNG you "Set as Background".

I've got an old iPhone 2g that I am planning on selling but I want to be sure it doesn't have any of my old info stored on it before I ship it off to a complete stranger. Will a restore wipe it completely clean?

If not, what can I do? Right now it is not jailbroken with the latest firmware on it so it is stuck in 'emergency call only' mode. I hope I don't have to re-jailbreak it, I am having trouble figuring out how to do it on 3.1.3.

Yeah. The only place your data is saved is in your backup. Restore wipes the phone and puts fresh firmware on it. So just don't restore your backup when it's finished.

I was comparing my iPhone with someone else's iPhone today and I noticed that the text looks a bit different. Both iPhone 4s, I remember whenever I install winterboard, it messes up my text so I have to turn on white icon labels. The default is white and has a shadow. Is there any way to fix it so that it goes back to that?

I found another one on Cydia. Not sure how they compare (the description says it's a bit toned down compared to the default). How do you add themes into winterboard without installing it through cydia?

There is a program called iBackupBot that will read your iPhone backups and allow you to extract specific bits that you want, you could use this to get just the notes/texts/photos and save them to a separate folder?

I found it extremely useful when I updated recently because I didn't want to lose all my text messages but also wanted to start from a fresh backup, all I had to do was extract the texts from one backup and insert them in to the new fresh backup. Easy as pie.

http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm

I installed this and it runs and then hangs on "loading device information." Does it work with Win7 for anyone? Same thing with or without itunes running

edit: nevermind, it eventually made it through the problematic backup file. But it appears you have to buy the full version for $25 to get the SMS out.

Is there an app that will let me scp a file from my iPhone to a remote server? I was hoping I could do it from iFile, but it doesn't look like I can. The app will have to support private key auth as the server does not use passwords for ssh. Google only gave me results on how to scp a file from my machine to my iPhone.

I sure hope this fix the sound bug that has existed since the first beta and could be fixed with 2 lines of code changes.

edit: half fixed. Still double the sounds on SMS, still vibrating for everything - even when some apps aren't set up to vibrate.

I need a Mac.

Sure. I am almost certain this is the problem, but I've never been able to test:

https://github.com/peterhajas/MobileNotifier/blob/master/MNWhistleBlowerController.m

Comment out everything in alertArrivedWithData except for the [_delegate wakeDeviceScreen]; line. Even that I'm not sure is necessary since notifications should wake the screen regardless.

I'm fairly sure the entire class is unnecessary. What he's doing is causing vibrate no matter what the alert is, and playing a hard coded system sound (which is Tri-Tone apparently) for text messages.

Or just ssh into the remote server and use the iphone as the source.

The problem with that is that my iPhone won't necessarily be on the same network as the server (and I don't think you can get to your iPhone's SSH server when you're on 3G only).

Yep, it actually makes sense since it will save a couple of CPU cycles (maybe quite a few) at the cost of a negligible amount of RAM. And since no non-jailbroken enduser will notice this change, why not.

A few pages back, someone mentioned that the MobileTerminal in Cydia crashes on IOS 4, and that you'll want to get the one in the "insanely repo". That might be worth a google.

By doing this there was no sound at all... I'll play with this routine and see if I can fix it.

So here's what I've got:

code:

-(void)alertArrivedWithData:(MNAlertData*)data;
{
    // Check if silence switch is enabled
    CFStringRef state;
    UInt32 propertySize = sizeof(CFStringRef);
    AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); 
    AudioSessionGetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRoute, &propertySize, &state);
    if(CFStringGetLength(state) == 0)
    {
       // Vibrate the phone since silence is enabled
       AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
    }
    else
    {
       //This is what I need to fix
    }

    // Wake the device's screen
    [_delegate wakeDeviceScreen];

}

The problem is to actually get the settings for current notification tone and to use it require some hidden APIs and my knowledge of iOS is almost nothing. Got any resources I can read through?

# ? May 31, 2011 21:58

flyboi: Oct 13, 2005; agg stop posting; College Slice

Well, it now notifies and vibrates correctly but I can't figure out how to figure out what the system has the notification tone set to. Currently it will vibrate only if on silent and will vibrate if you have it enabled with audio on and not vibrate if you have vibration disabled while audio is on:
http://www.mediafire.com/?d14k48e67my5j17

code:

-(void)alertArrivedWithData:(MNAlertData*)data;
{
    // Check if silence switch is enabled
    CFStringRef state;
    UInt32 propertySize = sizeof(CFStringRef);
    AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); 
    AudioSessionGetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRoute, &propertySize, &state);
    if(CFStringGetLength(state) == 0)
    {
       // Vibrate the phone since silence is enabled
       AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
    }
    else
    {
       AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(1007);
    }

    // Wake the device's screen
    [_delegate wakeDeviceScreen];
}

I just installed MobileNotifier today to try it out.

Now when my phone is locked and I get a txt, it simply says "missed notification" and seems to lock the screen faster than before. I like seeing who txted me and the preview, do I really have to disable MobileNotifier on lockscreen and enable antique lock alerts?
