iPod Touch Tricks & Hacks

This is specially for those who have recently bought an iPhone/iPod Touch and are hesitating before jailbreaking it.First of all let me tell you that although the iPhone/iPod Touch is a pretty amazing device,it is not half your money's worth is you don't jailbreak it.

And now for the technical aspects.Well that is not very complicated.When we jailbreak an iPhone/iPod Touch only the firmware is modified.And we know it very well how to restore it.So the matter is as simple as that.According to Apple policies if you tamper with the firmware,the warranty becomes void.

And if you need to do any repairs on your iPhone/iPod Touch you can restore you firmware to a non jailbreaked version and your warranty stays intact.But if the problem in your iPhone/iPod Touch is hardware related and there is no way to restore it to the previous state than you can be in a spot of bother.So only thing you need to watch out after jailbreaking is that you don't inflict any kind of physical damage to it so that it becomes unrestorable.

So there is nothing to worry about in jailbreaking.Go ahead and jailbreak your iPhone/iPod Touch.

Winter Board

Much like its predecessor Summerboard.It is used for managing themes.It can manage summerboard themes as well.The new feature is it has the ability of combining multiple themes.

Boss Prefs

This is services/settings app replacement.This is a all in one settings tab for your Network Selection,WiFi,OpenSSH etc.

Boss Tool

This is used to move hard disk space around to allow space for more applications to be insatalled.It moves your fonts,ringtones and other stuff to a different location and makes the root directory free of some useful space.

Customize

Gives you the power of customizing your iPod Touch/iPhone.Everything starting from themes to sliders,wallpapers,icons,bubbles etc can be customized with this application.

OpenSSH

This is the only way you can access the filesystem of your iPhone/iPod Touch.You can copy things like fonts,wallpapers etc.This allows you to crack other applications by changing the file permissions.Changing file permission is very important.When I had jailbreaked my 1.1.4 iPod Touch,I had to change the file permission of the Customize application in order to make it run.

asMailFix2

To fix the Mail.app issue after 2.0 installation and Sync.
