it works great if you follow the instructions. also, a lot of the programs REQUIRE that you installed the BSD subsystem. have been using this since it was released, with zero problems.

what's the Steve Bobblehead program called?

My only question is where's the best place to go for reviews/recommendations of which apps to install. There are so many out there. My tiny little brain is reeling....

I just installed this on my touch this morning and it works great! It took just a couple of minutes and I was running apps in no time. After downloading the apps, I had to power off then on to get them to fully run. Where can I find games for my emulator?

I tried it yesterday. The first try my phone locked up. Restarted then tried again. It worked and I had Installer on my phone. The only problem I encountered was my phone was really slow. I restarted my phone, and everything worked perfectly and has since!

@rndmideas: what's stopping someone from going into an apple store or best buy and installing this on all the iphones/itouches on display?

---- Nothing. I did this to all of the phones and touches after they told me that all of the Leopard copies were reserved (B.S. - went across town to the other store and they said they don't even do reserved copies.)

therepoman — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 21:01:55 EDT

Worked like a charm for me. I had previously jailbroken my 1.1.1 phone and was having problems with it (youtube was not working and safari would crash), but this method works perfectly with no crashing. Here's what I did:
-Did a fresh restore to 1.1.1 through iTunes
-Made sure my auto-lock option was turned to NEVER
-Visited the site, clicked the link, and waited about 5 minutes. Installer.app crashed the first time I ran it, but I did a hard shut down (home and power) and it worked fine after that.
-After installing third party apps, I did have problems running them at first, but then I installed BSD subsystem and everything works (no clue why this works, but it does).

Hope this helps - thanks GizModo!

amazing downloading the installer app is extremely easy had a little trouble getting some of the apps to work but with a little time everything seemed to work seamlessly. this is truly impressive and makes the ipod touch a must get item. without it not so much.

Narual — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:48:18 EDT

Ouch. I installed Customize so I could clean up the icons and put the transparent/reflection dock I used in 1.02 back up... and it crashed. When my phone restarted, it has an ipod logo in the upper left corner, the time in the middle, the battery and my alarm clock indicator in the upper right... and that's it. Nothing else.. Black screen. I can call myself from anotehr phone and get into contacts and from there into email, but nothing to get into fix it... guess I get to do a restore. Yippee.

Maquero — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:13:57 EDT

So, is this thing compatible with 1.0.2 or is it strictly 1.1.1? Also, I noticed yesterday Installer was gone from my menu, so this thing would get it back up there right?

I don't care about the warranty issues because I already voided it, but if it's of any concern I suggest don't install it, it will more than likely void yours too.

anyone use it on a touch? I conviced a coworker to put it on hers, now installer is crashing, only the summerboard options work, everything else jumps out after trying to open. She wants to get rid of it cause things aren't working, but she can't open installer to remove anything!
also, iTunes is trying to download an ipod update, any news on what's in that release?

Its supposed to crash after you hit the link. After the crash your bsd is openned up to allow installs. Olt of the apps dont work but most still do. Ive had to do a hard restart to get some to work but then they do.

If you have never unlocked your phone via any unlocking means it will not brick. If you run an AT&T card on a locked phone all you have to do to fix any problem is Restore the phone. Jailbreak and installer don't touch the baseband which is what caused the problem in the first place.

So far I have tried three times. The first two times Safari closed immediately and I waited at the home screen for about 10 minutes before trying a gain.

The third time it stayed at the safari screen for about 10 minutes. I hit the home button and it took about 30 seconds to go to the home screen. I've waited about 10 more minutes and nothing has happened yet. Anyone else having issues?

@MANYOU07

yeah, right...

- Maybe people will NEVER write a malware for iPhone, cos' Jobs and everybody else are soooooo cool.
- Maybe we're creating some sort of a parallel new society (only with Apple fans, course) where things are just like they should be, everyone is a nice, selfless acting person, and we'll never be subject to crime and bad people again...
- Maybe, if I could wait longer, Santa would come up with a totally free iPhone on my socks, by the end of december...

OR, MAYBE, it's just a suplly/demand matter. Don't know what's up to you, but if I was a "virus developer" (no matter what it's means), it would certainly be hard to choose between a platform with hundreds of millions of users OR the other one, sooooo cool an with a dozen of altruistic, good nature people. gush....

P.S. don't get me wrong, By now, I'm almost an apple fan guy....

@OpenIntro:
That was a legitimate question. If it voids your iPhone/Touch warranty and some component of your device later fails, you aren't going to be very happy when Apple won't repair it.

Apple would say so, but all you have to do to remove it is run a Restore on your iPhone/Touch and it's back to normal again. So no.

Maybe the root of the whole Apple vs Microsoft security debate is due to a fundamental difference in usage of the two companies' software: people exploit Microsoft's security holes to run malicious code, but people exploit Apple's security holes just to be able to run non-malicious software! It's a good thing no one has ever written an iPhone virus, otherwise someone migh accuse Apple of writing a buggy OS with huge security holes...
