Jailbreaking Discussion - Page 23

Yes. Any sort of official update will kill your jailbreak. There's also no jailbreak for 5.1 yet so I recommend you to wait a bit.

So I have a 3gs, what steps do I take to jailbreak it?

Are you running 5.1? If so, use this guide. If you're not running 5.1, just do a Google search for "jailbreak iphone 3gs #.##" and you'll get your results. Jailbreaking is as easy as just download redsn0w, and letting it do all the work.

Settings ---> General ---> About

Or By hooking up your iPod to your computer then going to iTunes and checking there. Agua

Only if it is a tethered jailbreak. If you get an untethered jailbreak you won't have to do that.

Is there an untethered Jailbreak for 5.1 3GS ?

I've heard there isn't but I've seen on google a untethered redsn0w jailbreak...

just jailbroke my iphone, what aps should i get?

i am currently not seeing any benefits to this...

Most of the "apps" on Cydia are just tweaks. Things that enhance your iPhone, that probably should be available without a jailbreak.

If you're interested in Siri, there's multiple apps for that. SiriPort is a good one but hard to install, and there's also Spire. If you do get a Siri-inspired app, there's another app called "MyAssistant" that allows you to add custom commands and themes to Siri.

RingerX VIP let's you edit a contact, so you can adjust volume control, vibrate control, mute calls, etc. per each individual contact on your phone.

Colored Knob let's you change the "slide to unlock" button on your lock screen.

Zeppelin replaces your carrier's logo on the upper left-hand corner of your screen with pretty much any logo you want. Anything from the Batman logo to the Triforce from Zelda.

Slide To Mod let's you change the "Slide To Unlock" text. Enter your own custom text, have it so the date or time is there instead.

WeeTrackData puts a menu in your notification bar that let's you track your data usage, in case you don't have unlimited data. You can slide the menu to see your data usage for 1 day, 7 days, or the whole month.

Bulletin let's you pull down the notification bar from your lock screen.

Lock Sliderz let's you have multiple unlock bars and knobs (up to 4 bars, two knobs on each bar) that let you slide to unlock to a certain app. Very convenient.

Mirror Widget adds a "mirror" to your notification bar. Makes use of your camera primarily, but if you double tap the mirror, it switches to your front-facing camera instead.

I could go on for awhile. Google and Youtube for Cydia apps and tweaks. There's also some retro emulators and stuff, but we can't discuss that sorta thing here. ;D

Technically you can. Just don't give links to ROMs and BIOS (for those emulators that need them).

Oh, awesome. In that case, there's some nicely working emulators for NES, SNES, N64, GBC/A, etc. I haven't gotten much into them, and I know probably aren't compatible with iOS 5.1 yet, but I've got the GBA emulator to work.
