    I have Glaskart too, but I just really liked the effect of this one, especially with the album release. No doubt I'll change it again soon.

    I do wonder why Apple don't let you do this stuff officially. It's not like they stop you changing the wallpaper on your actual Mac is it?




    Apple won't let you do it officially for four (supposed) reasons: copyright (isn't MP3 the same thing), battery life (yeah right), support (too slack to help) and lack of development (copy-paste, MMS, all that crap).

    When you go for the SSH route, make sure in Cydia you install OpenSSH, SBSettings as well as Veency and Processes. That makes turning off and on SSH and WiFi and killing stuff that gets stuck, a whole lot easier. I wouldn't use a jailbroken touch without it ever.



    Originally posted by RistoYou can install it, the biggest problem you might find attacking you is the SATA drivers. Basicly you need to create a floppy disk with drivers. Then you can load the drivers during the setup. Without these drivers XP can't see your harddrive.

    Now the problem with laptops is that most of them don't have a CD and a floppy drive. In these cases you need to create a XP cd yourself.

    I don't know exactly how. But I'm just trying to give you the heads up

    Vista is not that bad with SP1. Works pretty good and I don't have any complaints. Speed is just a little bit slower than XP on my Dell laptop (D830).


    Better than I could have ever explained. We got a real tech-head in here.

    It's called slipstreaming, you add the drivers to the CD, compile it and then use that to install. Kind of a custom job. I have one for XP but no decent drivers for video cards, sound, USB2.0 etc. There's heaps of articles around, sites like arstechnica and Gizmodo and Engadget have them in more detail.



    And what my touch looks like:







    I ended up removing the play icon in the status bar as well as the iPod Now Playing button, because it looks odd and out-of-place (plus no need), and no cover-flow because it looks horrible and just adds more memory leaks, which ain't good.

    I also changed the font and used a lot of transparency and pale blue effects.
  2. Browsing the web with my iPod Touch. This little machine kicks ass!


  3. Safari doesn't crash for you yet or at all? They are great little devices.

    How sweet it is I can download an album or rip a CD and have it on the iPod in a good few minutes, without having to use or buy another stack of CDs.


  4. I've never really had too much trouble unless there's a load of content (my bank site for example).
  5. Touch looks good Drew. What's this about memory leaks with Coverflow?


  6. It never seems to run out of space. At present, 6.21GB worth of audio and growing by the minute, but still 7.54GB worth of space left.

    Touch looks good Drew. What's this about memory leaks with Coverflow?


    I had a starfish background before. The touch (1G) has 64MB RAM; if I went into coverflow with a modest 39 albums, the RAM went down in about two seconds to 14MB. That was running nothing else and with Winterboard switched off. That's the other reason I didn't like it.

    The worst thing Apple have ever introduced to any mobile platform.
  7. anyone having problems with youtube recently?

    it's always taken me quite a while to load a vid since a few months and today I couldn't reach the site at all. it's super annoying and I have no idea what the problem is is it the site being funky or my internet connection (arcor, dsl 6000 flat)?
  8. I know that iTunes took the digital licensing stuff off their audio files recently....does anyone know if they did the same with their video files?

    I think so. If it has a + next to it, then it's free from restrictions.
  10. no school tomorrow....perfect opportunity to work on my ipod and stuff, any suggestions drew?

    another question....cover flow is bad why?
