1. They have a crack for the 2nd Gen now. The night I first installed QuikPWN I was shitting bricks. Crashed the iPod a couple of times. Wasn't helped by the fact I have an issue with putting the iPod into it's special memory mode (DSM or something like that) as the new MacBook has it blocked. So I had to become an App Developer for Apple to get the old download and use that to set it up (then convert back again).

    Once installed though, it's a breeze with Cydia and Winterboard (both on QuickPWN).

    I've cycled through about 4-5 in the last week. This one suits the moment though.

    if I source a step by step guide i'll certainly be giving it a go
  3. you guys and your touches.....



  4. don't get me wrong....i want one, but given that my video ipod is working just fine (3.5 years later no less!) and the fact that my Dell laptop just died, I'll have to put off the ipod touch.


  5. Very nice. Welcome to the bright side!
  6. So, now that I'm gonna buy a new laptop....the question comes up: Is Vista as bad as everyone says it is?

    Also, I still have my installation disc for XP from my old laptop. Can I install that onto the new one?

    I'm perfectly happy with Vista, not entirely sure what all the fuss is about but I've adapted without any issues.

    All you lot yacking on about your various iPod majiggahs...the screen for my Zen Nano Plus died so I've turned it into a 30GB portable memory stick and bought a Sansa 8GB jobby for £40 from Currys', there's a bargain for you


  8. any chance i could use that too? looks amazing!!!!

    Vista's not bad with Service Pack 1, but some things make you wonder why they weren't fixed - and most things are much different to XP. The Control Panel is a case in point as is the start menu.

    The XP disc from your old laptop can be used, but you more than likely need to find drivers because most laptops with Vista have drivers only for Vista. You need to ask whether the laptop (at wherever you buy it from) supports downgrading to XP. Considering its official support period is extended for another four years, I see no reason as to why a shop or a company wouldn't allow some sort of downgrade.


  10. At the moment, you can have a tethered jailbreak, which means in order to restart the iPod, you're gonna need to connect it to your computer to make the jailbreak take effect again. The 2G should be done in maybe a month or two - the last bit left is a simple 8 bytes of code, which is taking a little longer than expected.

    Dan, have you checked out macthemes2.net? They have all the themes and upcoming plug-ins. Frostbite is an interesting one coming through, which allows you to have your charging battery on a background as well as HomeScreen2.0 for viewing appointments, weather, timezones (and possibly a TV guide) etc on your lock screen - which I currently use.

    And in Cydia, some more essentials you gotta check out: hClipboard, SBSettings and Supreme Preferences. All wonderful shit.

    How's your theme going Steve?
