iPod Touch Tricks & Hacks

.
.



Many of you must be complaining about the price of App Store applications.Obviously who would like to pay for applications...Was it not enough that we spend so much already on buying the iPhone or the iPod touch??But there is always a way out.And that is what I am going to talk about.

Now you can download and install App Store applications for free.Thats right....You don't have to pay a single penny.That is as good as getting access to a free iTunes App Store.

This is how we are going to do it...

PART I
1) Make sure your iPhone/ipod Touch is jailbroken /w 2.0 and iTunes 7.7
2) Open Cydia and install any recommended updates.
3) Install Open SSH.
4) Restart your phone.

PART II
1) SSH into your phone, navigate to the folder: "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework"
NOTE: MobileInstallation.framework is a FOLDER!
2) Backup the file "MobileFramework" from the directory above.
NOTE: Rename it to MobileFramework.bak (keep it safe)
3) Download this patched file - http://rapidshare.com/files/133118635/MobileInstallation
4) Copy the patched MobileFramework file into the "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework"
NOTE: MobileInstallation.framework is a FOLDER!
5) Set permissions to that new file to 775
Note: CHECK AGAIN! VERY IMPORTANT!
6) Navigate to "/private/var/mobile/"
7) Set permissions to the folder "Applications" to 777
NOTE: make sure reclusive is checked (meaning it sets all files within the folder to 777)
8) Navigate into the "/private/var/mobile/applications/ folder
9) Create a "Documents" folder in the "/private/var/mobile/applications/" folder.
10) Set the permission to 777
11) Navigate to the root level.
12) Navigate into the "/applications/" folder.
13) Create a "Documents" folder in the "/applications/" folder. Set permission to 777
12) Reboot your iPhone - IMPORTANT! Otherwise Apps will not install!
13) Restart iTunes
14) Download one OFFICIAL App from the app store, if you haven't already.
tip: it can be a free app are fine. Just needs to be an OFFICIAL App.

Part III
1) Simply double click, or drag and drop the .ipa files into iTunes.
2) Sync them with your iPhone!
3) Reboot your phone if the apps do not show up.
4) Enjoy!
