The iPhone Wiki:Community portal

This is the place to post tasks that need to be done on the wiki. Also this is the place for proposed changes. I heard about people wanting a favicon and arranging the main page into categories.

Deleting Firmware (keys) pages

One thing. A key page should never be deleted unless it is empty. They still have valublw info on them. --Balloonhead66 03:55, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Firmware pages shouln't get deleted. Missing information will get filled out sooner or later anyway. And we don't want to delete and recreate them. I'll delete firmware pages only if the page's name is wrong. If information on it is wrong, please just write it onto the page or remove the wrong info. If the page is empty (no keys) this still applies, but please don't create new empty pages. --http 08:26, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

VFDecrypt GUIs

I don't mean to sound like a dictator, but I'd like to request for no more VFDecrypt GUIs to be added here. There are more than enough of them, so I feel there really isn't a need to add any more. Whenever a new one arises, an argument spews over about its usefulness, as well as whether it belongs on this wiki. These arguments clog up the Recent changes page, making it tougher to keep an eye on things with the wiki. So, once again, I'd like to ask for no more VFDecrypt GUIs to have a place on this wiki. As of now, this is NOT a rule that will be imposed. It's just a polite request, nothing more. --Dialexio 19:35, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I'd ask for GUI's of all kinds, such as VFDecrypt, iRecovery, and so on. Anyone can make a GUI. It takes a real hacker to write a program. --dra1nerdrake 22:52, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

We only have 3 publiclly available ones + 2 in development --Balloonhead66 00:14, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I saw this coming when the new page for GiRecovery (Zeratul) first appeared some months ago. This Wiki is not intended to promote these tools. I didn't want to just delete the page though. One way we could go: Make sure all applications (including highly recognized ones and jailbreak apps like Limera1n) will get listed on an overview Tools page. It should be categorized by tool purpose and operating system. Maybe also by related iOS firmware. As soon as this works well, we just have to assure that not anybody adds new tools there. For example by having two users request a new entry (without the author). We can start this Tools page in any case. Initially we can include all these useless GUI apps already existing here also. -- http 07:38, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

We could delete the original pages and merge them with the page of the original app in a subsection. To be honest, though, I still don't see the point of having 4 softwares that do the same thing with the same features. --Ryccardo 09:22, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

All of them just decrypt. But mine will have 7zip integration to extract it for you and possibly look up the key automatically based on the Dmg name... --Balloonhead66 14:28, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ground_Rules#No_advertising_your_website.2Fforum.2Fwiki.2Fetc.Theiphonewiki is to help people understand the method and not just give people a GUI which can do those stuff.Take limera1n for example,they descibe about the software and their payload, method, explanation is over there which is what theiphonewiki wants and not just a GUI with the name over there and crediting their "own" team. --Whiteshinyapple.

To Balloonhead66:And dont undo the stuff I did. The sysops will decide and it is their decision not yours. --Whiteshinyapple.

A GUI is not a wiki website or forum apple dude --Balloonhead66 03:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Polls

I think we should have a page for polls, like this: Polls. I am requesting this as I need to take a quick survey, and I don't know where to place it. The poll does relate to the iPhone... --Balloonhead66 00:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

iPhone Compatibility

Well the wikis startpage (and maybe other pages) do not display really good on the iphone ;) -- M2m 16:11, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think it's good enough. Ok, it's not optimized, but it's ok. If we improve the startpage to have only one column, then that would look ugly on a PC. I work a lot in here from my iPhone. The biggest problem is the edit box. You cannot really edit big texts from your iPhone. But that's a problem of the Wiki itself (Mediawiki) and we cannot fix that just by changing texts or layout. -- http 22:25, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

On all textboxes, use 2 fingers to scroll --Balloonhead66 02:52, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Installing the extension MobileSkin would be something geohot would have to do. Also he would have to create a mobile skin as all that extension does is display a skin over the default MonoBook skin... --Balloonhead66 00:43, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Logo

New logo design	A new logo design	A new logo design with a By geohot
New logo design with a new name	A new logo with a new name	A new logo with a new name and a By geohot

The Logo should be updated as the wiki is no longer iPhone only but (I think) all iOS devices (or a larger part of it). Possibly also a new URL? theioswiki (but i know this is not as easy) -- M2m 16:09, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

A new URL would be something that Geohot would have to do. But although this is not only about iPhones, that doesn't mean we have to change the logo or the URL. At the beginning there was the iPhone and the iPod touch. Now only the iPad has come to the family. Nothing really new. -- http 22:25, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Isn't the new AppleTV said to be running iOS as well ? ;) --M2m 23:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes --Balloonhead66 00:07, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I could design a new logo that has all the iOS family on it including all generations of the phone and the ipod touch, ATV, and iPad if it is still wanted... --Locke

That won't be neccassary as I am already in the midst of creating one... --Balloonhead66 19:16, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Done... Please post content above the {{clear}} IT is therte to keep the next section below the table... When the text gets below the table, you may remove the clear template link. --Balloonhead66 23:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

If anyone wants, I can shrink the Red apple down from 32x32 to 16x16 so it looks better... I just downloaded The iPhone Wiki favicon aqnd used Convert ICO to make it a png and it came out at 32x32, so I used that. If anyone wants, I can shrink the apple to 16x16... --Balloonhead66 02:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Nice! Just a few things: I doubt the wiki will be renamed to "The iOS Wiki", and the "By geohot" line is inappropriate, as this wiki is edited/improved by all of us, he's just the guy who set it up. Nice though! Did you use GIMP by any chance? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by fike (talk) 18:02, 12 December 2010 (UTC). Please consult this page for more info on how to sign pages, and how to fix this.
