    And I'm panicking over doing!!

    So where do you get your themes from Drew? Is that what Cydia is?


    Cydia is like an App Store with all themes, icons, lockscreens, status bars etc...so pretty much I may download three or four themes, apply each one, see what looks the best and make an entirely new theme based around those three or four themes. That particular one above, I think, uses a wallpaper from some website and the icons come from a theme called Normal. And I also use MakeItMine to change the iPod text to something else in the corner, as well as a tap-battery to tell me the percentage left or the battery icon - which I coloured black, rather than the red and green.

    I can't post a shot of my lock screen (don't know how, yet!) but it has a small plugin to show current weather and weather status e.g. cloudy, sunny, partly cloudy. That's another cool add-on. I hide apps with an app called Poof - that's actually integrated into a seperate module below as well as SSH, WiFi toggle and brightness.





    What Cydia looks like.






    My double-tap dialog for the music display:

  2. Its a lot louder than my Classic


  3. Is that even with the EU restrictions? It is a bloody loud thing - it uses a different audio chipset (Wolfson) than what the classic uses (Cirrus Logic).

    Yep mine is restricted but massively loud. As loud as my 4th gen.

    Found another more major fault. It skips when playing apple lossless files!!! Whats that all about

    Confirmed the first-gen doesn't do it. Possibly the new hardware they used for the second-gen has caused the issue and software isn't written to handle it properly yet (which you think it would). I hope it's not another early-adopter classic case.

    I was having problems earlier. Albums that fade in were coming out all static and full of dead noise. Turns out Foobar had been configured to rip MP3s as 8-bit stereo hybrid, and apparently the touch struggles with 8-bit lossy audio and so does my laughable computer audio setup, so I changed it to 16-bit stereo - all is well now.

    Luckily I had them as WAV files ripped already, just do them back to 192 MP3.

    Alright, I'll be back probably tomorrow - it's getting a bit late. Night all!
  6. Converting all that lossless is gonna be a bastard.


  7. Use DBpowerAmp, it has a feature to convert a whole folder or disk or whatever to whatever you want. I love it, it can convert 30 lossless shows into lossy in 10 minutes with my 4 processors.


  8. I could do with saving the space to though so might be worth the while
