    People said the jailbreak was slow - this was worse even without jailbreaking.


    I haven't (can't be arsed to pay £5.99 and then have to re-jailbreak my iPod) but my wife has it on her iPhone and has noticed it is slower. No wi-fi issues though. The landscape e-mail/SMS and MMS is cool though.

    I liked the new features somewhat, but when they come at the expense of your overly expensive device having looks over usefulness prior to an update, that gets me to thinking ''Thanks but no thanks'', you know? As if it wasn't a pain in the arse to jailbreak your iPod before, it just gets harder after this especially if you're replacing system files that used to work but not any more (I wish I'd had the same logic when I upgraded to Vista).

    Plus iFile and SBSettings doesn't work so that's a big thumbs-down as well for one of my critical apps. And it was $12.99 for us, so not only is that the price of 2 very good CDs plus a hot dog, it's an hour of work for getting worse performance. I say no at this point. I'm sure you remember 'early adopter pains' and things not working as they should.

    When people have got their shit sorted, then I might upgrade. Until then, no thanks.

    Get it but don't pay - you don't have to, and it's still the same thing as the one Apple are holding you ransom to getting (I know what you're thinking, but I'll be honest for once!). I did it as a test run, and if it was good I would have bought it by all means...for features that should have been there from the start, it's not worth paying a company for them saying ''Aye look, we finally found the copy and paste we were looking for, and, oh look, a search feature'', for them to blow their trumpet to have features and make it a big deal.

    I guess because you got yours recently, it's probably the latest version - that unlocks bluetooth and that sort of thing, but pretty limited. By all means upgrade, chances are you won't have the same problems but you never know. I'm getting annoyed with these companies telling us things are a-changin' but maybe things are a-stuffin'.

    I just feel so grumpy and shitty with this cold and wanted to let people know before they waste their time and effort, so if it's given you pause to a useless upgrade, then I feel a whole lot better having people waste their time reading this rather than them wasting their time reading support and help posts.
  5. Dim Settings for jailbroken iPod touch and iPhone

    I wrote this script to add a setting to Dim your screen with variable settings - I added from five seconds to ten minutes. I'm using 2.2.1 firmware so I don't think this will work on 3.0 or higher, as they have new strings which I haven't played with, so don't try it otherwise you may be forced into Safe Mode.

    Put Dim Preferences.theme in Winterboard (not the .rar file) in any order and then check out Settings > Brightness > Dim In...you should have a new setting called Auto-Dim and written below as Dim In... I haven't tested the higher than 60 seconds one for reasons of never needing it - if it works then let me know.

    I might make more of these eventually but not for a while until I get my head around it.

    I'll give this a try, I'm still on the 2.2.1 firmware too. I already use the Brightness option at its lowest levels.

    Well this is kinda like a screensaver. I'll be uploading my theme soon as well, it's about 60% complete.

    Oh yeah and a new keyboard layout too, which is pretty cool-looking and better than the Apple one.

    I haven't updated yet, as mentioned earlier, and it's mainly because there's a lot of cool apps for the 2.x.x stuff.

    I haven't used iFile, so I'm curious as to what it is. SBSettings isn't working? WHAT. THE. FECK. I think I'm not going to update my iTouch either.

    Also, has anyone seen the new iPhone? It looks pretty neat, though. Doing my research before selling my arms and legs to Apple. More to come
  9. Sorry if I am interrupting...I will selfishly just ask my question
    Could any of you guys refer me to a free and useful Adobe (Macromedia) Flash tutorial/guide? I mostly want to learn about making animations, but I am also interested in the other uses.

    One more thing, Drew...has iPod Touch 2nd gen been jailbroken yet?

    thanks guys!

    Don't know about the Adobe, but do know that the iPod touch 2nd gen on 2.x.x has been jailbroken, yes.

    It's OS 3.0 they're struggling with now...

    Sounds cool! I'll have to give it a look. I want to update mine soon, the Coldplay art (it appears only on the vinyl, not sure if I uploaded it or not) is getting old.

    Sweet.

    3.0 OS is jailbroken and so is the 3GS as of last week. Just make sure you update to the very latest MobileSubstrate in Cydia if you're running any one of those - but you have to use RedSn0w now or you'll get a black screen of death. QuickPwn as far as I'm aware is discontinued. Essentially the same hole used from the 1.x firmware right through to 2.2.1 is what allows the jailbreak to push through and let you install unsigned apps.

    iFile allows you to browse your iPod and edit system files and view PDF and other sorts of files - kind of like the most important app on there. All I know is until my core apps are working 100% and the battery isn't draining far too quickly, 3.0.1 comes out soon, then there won't be an upgrade just yet - chances are I'll have a new touch by then.

    Not at all Ali. There's some on adobe.com I think I saw, but none overly comprehensive. About your best bet is to join a Macromedia forum and use their tutorials. They know all about it far better than I ever could.
