This is from the old thread. It's a terminal script that will make a .txt file of every package and program installed on your phone, and after you update and jailbreak, you run the rest of the script and it will automatically download everything you had on cydia and reinstall it. It's a lot better than any of those backup programs.withak posted:Before the update: Also, DataDeposit should be added to the OP, because it allows you to save any of your app or game data to dropbox and when you reinstall a game, you can update it with your saved data.

E1M5 posted:I'm kind of tempted to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS, but I'm wondering - how much of a hassle is it to keep jailbreaking when the newest software updates come out? For example, we've gotten 4.3.1 - 4.3.3 in just a few weeks. Or do you not have to even worry about updating until a major one comes out? Just like what withak said, it has become really easy, especially with the packages.txt trick. The only pain in the rear end is if you rely on an unlock, then you really have to be on top of firmware updates. I used to be really leery about jailbreaking as well, but it's fun and really usefull to me. I'm not heavily jailbroken and really on jailbreak for BiteSMS, themes, and other small miscellaneous things. Try it and if you don't like it, you can always go back.

Knives and Hot Dust posted:I have winter board but do I download the teme from my computer or my ipod and where do I go? You can instal OpenSSH and use your phone like a server and transfer things that way. If you're on a mac there is a program called "iPhone Explorer" that will let you see the filesystem of your phone and you can transfer stuff that way. Either way you decide, your themes will be under Library > Themes. Once you put something in there, it will show up in Winterboard for you to select.

LamoTheKid posted:Get WinSCP, find out your iphones WiFI IP address, create a new SFTP connection in WinSCP with your iphones IP as the address, root as the username, and alpine as the password. And you have a regular filesystem you can explore (If you're not familiar with BSD or Linux it might be a bit confusing). Just to elaborate a little bit. To find out the wifi address of your iPhone/iPod go into Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the arrow next to your network and your IP will be the first entry. LamoTheKid pretty much said what to do from here on. Just make sure you put everything into Library > Themes.

There's an app called Cloud Browse that let's you view flash. It basically connects you to a computer and you're seeing what the computer sees, but if flash is an absolute necessity, it would work.

I've had zero problems with Winterboard. As long as whatever theme I'm using has the correct image files with the correct file names, it runs perfectly fine. I discovered a program called Bigify. It's free, and the exact same thing as shrink, but instead of only making the icons smaller you can make them bigger, rotate them, and change their transparency. It's pretty neat.

FloatingPoop posted:Odd issue that I only recently discovered... A few days ago I changed my wallpaper AND lock screen picture to one that I had in my photo gallery (hit the "set both" button) and now themes in winterboard are unable to change the lockscreen picture. Any idea what's causing this? 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.

Is there any way to fix it so that it goes back to that? Add this to Winterboard and activate.

flyboi posted:So I'm a little confused about SHSH blobs. Why are these so important? I was able to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.2.8 on my Verizon iPhone by just creating the .ipsw and flashing it using iREB. I was under the impression you need SHSH blobs to be able to downgrade but that seems to not be the case. Can someone clarify this for me please? The OP does a pretty decent job of explaining it. OP posted:Here are a few quick pieces of information taken directly from the Tiny Umbrella FAQ: Because 4.2.8 is what Apple is currently signing for Verizon, you didn't have to worry about having your SHSH saved for that version. If the current firmware for Verizon was 4.2.9 and you wanted to go to 4.2.8 from 5.0, there would be no possible way to do that without having your SHSH saved for 4.2.8. edit - ^^beaten.

Luckily it did eventually boot into the springboard and everything is hunky dory. From the OP, this little terminal trick works wonders. If you restore from a backup, and restore your jailbreak apps this way, all of your settings will remain.

Is there a way to disable theme wallpapers that I'm not seeing, or is the best way to get my wallpaper to show up just SSHing in to find and replace Suave's wallpaper image? If you SSH in, just delete the wallpaper or lock background (whatever it is named) file from the theme and you can use your own background again.

I just decided to ditch the jailbreak for a while and try to get used to the stock OS again, because I definitely want to upgrade to iOS 5 when it's released. I miss the hell out of BiteSMS, and other than theming the lock screen (removing the gloss from the clock and unlock slider) I don't really miss the jailbreak too much.

GhostSeven posted:I know MacThemes is listed in the original post but I am wondering what other sites people use for finding winterboard themes or more relevantly for my case Lockscreen themes, especially if the site(s) are listing if items are iOS5 compatible. I go to a site called digitalvanity.me, it's pretty decent. The guy that runs it scours all kinds of places and finds some decent looking stuff. He posts it with a link to where he got it, so you can get whatever theme it may be. http://www.iconpaper.org is also good, they don't update too often, but if you find something you like, you can probably track it down on MacThemes to see if it's updated. Most themes from iOS 4.3 will work on 5. Modmyi.com forums have a big section for themes, but just like MacThemes, you'll have to move through the garbage to get to something decent.

You'll get the text message and it'll look like default for iOS 5, but when you swipe to open, the Quick Reply box will show up instead. Also, if you put the notification center down and tap the text message, that will open Quick Reply.

BiteSMS will work just like iMessage as far as sending iMessages. You may have to reboot your phone to get it to work though, it's a minor bug in the current version, but it works perfectly once it starts working. OnceIWasAnOstrich posted:I just installed an iOS 5 version of Suave HD, and it works perfectly, all icons either included or automatically suavified, except for jailbreak apps. My Cydia, BiteSMS, etc, apps all are the stock icon, and they have a Cydia.png/Cydia@2x.png in the theme icons/ folder. Anyone happen to be familiar with the solution to this? If there is just an icons folder with a ton of images, make sure Summerboard mode is turned ON. If it is turned on and they are still screwed up, then they aren't named correctly and you'll have to go through the applications to figure out what the app is calling itself. (ex: Twittelator Neue is the name of an app I have, but the app name in the folder is called simply Twittelator, so I needed Twittelator.png and Twittelator@2x.png) PunkRockTuba fucked around with this message at 07:15 on Jan 22, 2012 |
