Hacker User Pages

Does anyone else think we should organize them so there is the piece at the top that says who they, what team they are/were in, and other basic info. Then have an Achievements section below it stating what they have found/released? Just a thought. --JakeAnthraX 17:14, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Something like this list? --http 18:10, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

I meant directly on the user pages, like User:pod2g and so on. So there is a uniform look to it all. --JakeAnthraX 18:30, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Processors

We have a single entry here for Baseband Device, but the three processors (S-Gold 2, X-Gold 608 and XMM 6180) are not listed. --http 22:24, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Looks like nobody wanted to discuss this. I went ahead and changed it now. --http 01:31, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Seas0nPass

Can we add it? --Balloonhead66 03:46, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Sounds fine with me; it is pretty notable, after all. :) --Dialexio 03:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Great, but I can't add it... --Balloonhead66 03:56, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I'm aware of that. :) I'd like to wait a little bit in case anyone has an objection, though. (That, and I'm reorganizing a page.) --Dialexio 03:59, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

iPod touch 4(G) and iPhone 4 CDMA

the iPod touch 4G is incorrect. It is iPod touch 4. Also, can we add [[n92ap|iPhone 4]] (CDMA). --Balloonhead66 04:10, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree with adding the iPhone 4 (CDMA model), but I don't see how "iPod touch 4G" is incorrect. It is the fourth generation iPod touch, and Apple has never referred to it as "iPod touch 4." The 2nd generation was called "iPod touch 2G," and the 3rd generation was called "iPod touch 3G." --Dialexio 04:18, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

My brother said they dropped the G as to aviod people thinking it worked with the 4G network, but he might have only meant the iPhone... --Balloonhead66 04:19, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Possibly. I should note that to my knowledge, Apple never actually used the "iPod touch 2G" and "iPod touch 3G" monikers, but the iPod community has used such names for a long time. --Dialexio 04:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Yah... --Balloonhead66 04:27, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Please add the iPhone 4 CDMA :) --Ryccardo 20:34, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Previous Jailbreak Tools

I lately have been dealing with older firmwares and I couldn't find anywhere with the programs I needed. We should dedicate a page to archiving previous releases of tools (e.g tools for 3.X). Anyone care to set it up? --JakeAnthraX 09:45, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, for 3.x firmware we still have the page Jailbreak. Also on the respective tool page it should be listed what firmware is supported. For a list of all tools, see Category:Hacking Software. But yes, maybe we should have a general jailbreaking tool overview page, like the one in my first mentioned link, but for all devices (including iPhone 2G) and all firmware (including pre-3.x)? Feel free to create such a page if you think we need it. -- http 12:38, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I was meaning more of a place to have link to all versions of programs since none of the developers add backwards compatibility. (e.g sn0wbreeze no longer works for 3.X, greenpois0n no longer works for 4.1)

Ok, now I understand. You mean something like this Where do I download greenpois0n?. This wiki cannot host binary files, but I can add all files to my site Jailbrak FAQ. As long as I don't get hammered with downloads, it should be no problem (currently hosted by a friend at home). -- http 21:52, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Please explain that it's currently not open to new sign-ups

Hi, thanks for helping me get an account here. I had wanted to sign up and found that it didn't work - without any explanation why. Eventually I managed to get in contact with one of the sysops via Twitter and was told that it was closed because of spammers taking over.
It would be nice if you could add a little note on this on the main page. There it still says that anyone can join. That should be changed. Maybe even with a hint at how someone could still sign up by contacting someone, if he can explain why he needs to be in.
--Tempelorg 13:03, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I placed a message on the user login page. That should do the trick. :) --Dialexio 16:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that should do it. I also noticed that you provided an email address now. Thanks a lot for the quick fix Tempelorg 17:17, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

HW Developer related stuff goes where?

I am working on a project in which I want to use the Dock connector's serial lines to communicate with an external device. Since Apple makes this very difficult (tried to get into the MFi program with no luck), I found that I probably need to jailbreak the device in order to use these lines directly.
Finding help in the www was quite disappointing so far (the one by Collin Meyer is quite outdated). So when I figured a few things out now, I'd like to share them. I'd post explanations on how to use these lines on the Dock and how to program them.
I wonder if this is the right site for such information. The main page claim to be about _anything_ iPhone, but all I find so far is Jailbreak-related. So, what is this about? Shall I post my findings here or do they better fit somewhere else, e.g. the iphonedevwiki? Sadly I can't sign up with iphonedevwiki, either. Gosh, why is it so hard to find a place to share programming on jailbroken devices? Any other suggestions, please?
--Tempelorg 13:41, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I think it is. This is more appropriate on the Community Portal, not the Main Page though --Balloonhead66 16:16, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Main Page Orange Bar

I'm getting kind of sick of looking at it, as those things will probably never be done. Anyone want to be bold and replace it with a nice colored jailbreak/unlock status for each device on the latest version(include newest jailbreakable/unlockable if latest isn't). I'd do it but I'm lazy and don't know mediawiki. --geohot 07:40, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

I just changed it. I hope this table's good. :P --Dialexio 16:06, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Good start. I would change this: a) iPhone 4 can be unlocked (mine is). This is not mentioned (requires baseband 1.59.00) b) I thought of having a table with one row and each column represents a device with its status (group some together). Maybe a second row for unlock. c) Instead of Firmware page, I would link to Jailbreak page (and Unlock page, but that's outdated). -- http 20:16, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Can you change the spaces on the first line to   to keep it on one line? Can you also change iPhone to device as the iPad 1G can be unlocked. Also change N/A to {{partial|iPad 1G only}} or similar --Balloonhead66 17:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks --Balloonhead66 21:07, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Is it just me or does everyone see it like this? I am on a netbook, so my small screen might show it different. --JakeAnthraX 22:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Google Chrome! It is because of all of the other stuff on the left two columns and your screen res. IF it could be summarized better, it world look better. --Balloonhead66 23:23, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

It's because your on a device with a smaller screen, with a low resolution you can't fit as much content, looks just fine on mine. --GreySyntax 23:28, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Yup, it's the screen resolution. To accommodate smaller screens better, I made a few more tweaks to the table, so it should look better on screen resolutions as low as 800x600. --Dialexio 23:42, 5 July 2011 )(UTC)

Checking... I got this (what is on the right). --Balloonhead66 23:57, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Main Page Revision 18845 (8:36, July 5, 2011 UTC)

1024x768 (2nd lowest (lowest is 800x600) my monitor can support) is fine.. --Balloonhead66 00:02, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

All right. I changed the cell widths to use percentages instead of pixels, and the table appears great on low-res and higher-res screens. :) --Dialexio 00:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Looks good now. My resolution was 1024x600, so that is why it didn't look right. Thank you. --JakeAnthraX 01:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Looks great at 800x600 also! Now only if it worked on the iPhone... I might have to check... Looks great also! Those percentages were the trick. --Balloonhead66 02:38, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Frameworks

I moved Frameworks to /System/Library/Frameworks. Can we fix the link? --Balloonhead66 20:42, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Done. --http 21:06, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
