3G iPhone, Jailbreak, Cydia - Impressions?

Did mine on Friday, everything is running well. How much more modding is there? Seems like everything there is to do (that I'd want), I've done.

Intelliscreen app is badass, still on the 10 day trial but I think I might buy the license for it.

Is it time already to just enjoy the phone and leave it alone?

Haven't figured out how to SSH into the phone to do other stuff. What's the quickest and easiest way to change the background behind the icons?

Some screens:

That's badass. I'm looking for a decent deal for a 1st gen iphone for hacking purposes too. I'm usually against apple stuff but this thing is just too spiffy

got my first gen iphone barely used for $160 shipped

I could easily resell it for 300+ but i won't because i like it more than the 3g iphone.


I am trying to find a good shell client so i can ssh. Any suggestions? I don't care if I have to pay for it really..

Did mine first, then I jailbreaked my friend's 2g. Stock is just too bland for my tastes. When I had my Tilt, I was constantly changing firmwares and stuff.

Under "Latest Files" on the left side, you'll want to dl the correct firmware you're on and also WinPwn 2.0.0.4 if you're on a PC.

The tutorial on how to use WinPwn:

This works perfectly for a 3G on 2.0.1 firwmware. Itunes works fine, app store works fine, no problems.

I haven't gotten that far yet, haha. I just got the phone on Friday and have been playing with it non-stop.

I might know an answer in a week.

I had my first gen jailbroken, and I did my new 3G as soon as winpwn came out weeks ago

there aren't enough programs converted to the new 2.0 yet. it's taking awhile to port them over.

can't install stuff at work but will try when i get home. does it import ringers through itunes?

i chopped up the mp3 to 40secs then imported to itunes. right click>save as aac. go into folder where you're synced, find file, rename to .m4r. itunes now sees it as a ringer, sync, and then it's on your phone.

i think that is the gayest and longest way to do it, hahahaha. so yeah, i only did one ringtone so far.

how do you like intelliscreen? they patched it for 2.0.1 already. tons of stuff to dl on cydia but i guess there's more to move the 2.0 stuff?

the only thing i really cared about on intelliscreen is the sms/call alert, only because smsnotify wasn't on 2.0 yet.

but they just released it, so it just needs a few tweaks. only thing smsnotify doesn't do that intelliscreen does is wake up the phone and make the screen flash.

i modified my original smsnotify to alert me every two minutes with the glass tone since it's a loud ding ding noise.

i don't watch the news, and am not into sports, so i don't really want to pay for intelliscreen just for the alerts when smsnotify works fine

I've had my 3G for almost 3 weeks now. Coolest gadget I've ever owned. I was surprised at how fast and accurate the GPS is on it. It will show me walk from one side of my house to the other. Myself and neighbors all have wi-fi going so all internet stuff is really fast. Unfortunately no 3G in this part of the bay area.

Favorite Aps:

Loopt
2 across (crossword)
Labyrinth
Enigmo
Shazam (still can't believe how well this works)
GPS tracker (this is awesome for those wishing to track someone with or without them knowing.)

Word, it is a great gadget.

Shazam is pretty crazy, haha. Maps isn't that great and I haven't tried GPS tracker though. Might have to give that a go.
