iOS 4 & 4.0.1 Jailbreak Released - Page 4

The main repositories that are already predefined in Cydia should have pretty much everything you need.

Themes normally have a preview link towards the bottom of the screen.

I've just installed 'Remove Recent' which removes recently used applications from the task switcher (double tap the home button). So now it only shows applications that are 'multi tasking'.

Ah wow, I never knew that is what it showed!

Couldn't find TomTom or any of the istore apps.

Most Cydia repos are for homebrew apps, not cracked illegal ones

You could try apptrackr or something like that for TomTom

Will · 03-08-2010, 18:54

It's just an example, I have a tom tom so don't need it - just I remember Desmo showing me how you could download any istore app you wanted? Or am I mistaken.

I'm going to be concentrating on playing with themes at the moment.... Problem is there are TOO MANY!!! lol!

Blighter · 03-08-2010, 19:21

You can do - try Installous or AppTrackr

Will · 03-08-2010, 21:33

Well... I have no idea what I'm doing or what I can do with this cydia thing!

I might just restore it as it was as I doubt I'll ever get my head round how it works.

It's all too complicated for a simpleton like me.

Cool link and thanks for the info though

I used Installous once, ages ago, for TomTom. It crashed every time so soon got bored of that. Only thing I use JB for now is the little tweaks that make my life easier (SBSettings for one).

I could do without, and have, and will again if it proves more hassle than it's worth.

Worth mentioning, this jailbreak makes use of a PDF exploit that could be used to install root kits onto your iPhone. Be very, very careful when accessing PDF files. It's not Adobe or the PDF that's at fault but the way the iPhone presents them.

Some.. umm.. "dicks" for want of a better term have been going into Apple and Best Buy stores and filming themselves jailbreaking iPhones in store. Apple responded swiftly by blocking access to that website, which is fine unless the individual happens to have an Android 2.2 (froyo) running phone with a wireless hotspot or similar (like I do, and for the record find surprisingly invaluable)

Yeah, it's a worry because the mail application on the iPhone automatically renders PDF's when you open an email. So a malformed PDF could cause havoc even if you don't open the PDF itself.
