Rumour has it a new firmware is coming out tomorrow v1.1.2 (09/11/07) . According to some new european iphone owners there shipping new iphones allready with 1.1.2 and the only new feature spotted so far besides fixing the Tiff exploit is the addition of supporting 12 new languages out of the box. This doesn’t sound particularly great to us and it’s going to take alot more to convince us to upgrade our lovely jail broken ipod’s! & so the saga continues..
More news as it comes….
MapIdle is an iPhone application that simulates “Push Email” with your IMAP server. It’s in its early stages but the current features are:
- listens in the background waiting for new IMAP mail even if you are in sleep/standby mode
- notifies you via a popup and/or sound. You choose how to be notified. Sound notification should use the same method your mail client uses (ie: if you have vibrate on, it’ll vibrate as well)
- popup notification allows you to choose whether the mail client should check for email right there. NOTE: Don’t choose this if you are in the mail client as it will exit (you’ve been warned). The popup will disappear after 20 seconds and if you miss it the iMapIdle icon will show you how many popup notifications you have missed
- supports SSL connections and special support for GMail IMAP
If you have jailbreaked your ipod touch and run out of space installing apps this guide will show you how to change it so your only limited by the space left on your drive.
Following the instruction herein mmands below will remove your application space limitation so that you’re only limited by the device’s drive.. Your apps will share the same space available to your media files.
WARNING : Allthough this method is verified as working, you do this at your own risk!
SSH into your iPod touch using an SSH client. If you dont have one allready we suggest you use putty.
Now you need to move your applications folder to the /private/var folder by entering the following:
mv /Applications /private/var/Applications
Change the directory to “/” by typing:
cd /
Then create a symbolic link to the Applications folders new location:
ln -s /private/var/Applications Applications
Enter the following to list the directory of “/”. This is to check the symbolic link was created correctly:
ls -la
In the list that comes up, you should have an entry similar to this one:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 17 Oct 11 08:15 Applications -> /private/var/Applications
That should be it…all you have to do now is restart your iPod touch!
