iPhone OS 3.0 PREVIEW

[Chris-Gonzales]

I'm hearing may people say "oh I'm gonna jail break 3.0 when it comes out!!!" First off why? No one knows the entire feature list of 3.0. We only got a preview, theres more to come. There might not be a reason to jail break this time around, other then themes, and even the themes arnt thaty great,

It's already been jailbroken for 1. And most people jailbreak it for Cydia and unlock it to use it on other subscriber services..

You seem to be against jailbreaking your iPhone.

My Jail break reason = Freedom.

If you Jailbreak the phone you get a whole lot of advantages and that's why you do it. Not to punish Apple, not to punish others but to enjoy your own freedom.

And go browse MacThemes Forum... there are many, MANY fantastic themes.

I am going to continue jail breaking my iPhone because there is no reason not to and plenty of reasons to do so (NES, Themes, SSH, etc.).

[Ji@nBing]

The real question is why wouldn't you? There are no disadvantages to doing so and countless advantages.

i have the ipod touch G1 and i jail break so that i can do other stuff. i dont pirate things on it at all its just the themes and stuff.

[leph555]

i only jail break to get some awesome ass themes and all other customization, graphical customization that is

[Chris-Gonzales]

I think you guys missed the point of this thread.

I hear many say that they will jailbreak 3.0, saying "3.0 wont have this, or it wont have that. All we got is a preview, we do not know the full feature list yet..

[Sam Symons Veteran]

I do get where you're coming from Chris, and I agree, we can't officially say that it will or won't have features. I only ever used to jailbreak for the themes :)

[Ji@nBing]

When I can set up my phone like this without jailbreaking,I'll stop seeing the need. I don't see that happening with 3.0, or anytime soon.

[Sikh]

^ OMG, Very VERY NICE. Now thats my reason. And Chris I understand exactly what you mean, but im pretty sure most can tell you, Apple is not ready to allow graphical customization. Thats why I would Jailbreak, also benefits like apps that you cant find on the app store. Theres a few I breifly saw on a friends phone that the app store doesnt have. Like a app that made it so his DVR was connected to his phone thru IP. Now, he could view any timers and create new ones and etc. I found that cool becuase I have a DVR in my room and would love to record stuff on the fly that I forget about.

Also, the above post makes me want to jailbreak for sure no questions asked.

So, Ji@nBing if you are kind enough to let me know theme, dock, etc. Whatever was used to create your iPhone layout like that, I will be greateful. I just want to adopt that workspace, ill probably end up finding another theme if its possible but those icons and the mac like desktop on the right side, perfect. Something I love about macs and on the iPhone that would be awesome. And press the Apps icon to get all your icons is a plus. Im also guessing the Apps screen looks nice.

[Ji@nBing]

Hey. Most of the icons I used are from the Oxygen icon theme. Just google "oxygen refit" and you'll find them. The folder icons are Maji SE. You can have everything moved over to the right like that by using the app "iblank" available on Cydia. You can make folders using "categories", also available on Cydia. I don't remember where I got the dock from, I think it was some Leopard theme.

Hope that helps.

Yes you can JB 3.0 beta2 already, however quiet few software doesnt work, cydia for one for example and sbsettings and few more. After i saw this two not working i went back to 2.1.1.

[Wannes]

Of course they won't work yet. A BETA is known to be unstable and its code could be changed in the future. Saurik would be stupid updating Cydia now as changes in the code could disable the application. Those applications ( Cydia, OpenSSH, ... ) will work once the software/firmware is released.

yeh i didnt complain at all just wanted to share what i learned :) i do understand concept of beta ;)

ps: oh and i meant that i went back to 2.2.1 ofc.

[leph555]

how about we just wait and see what happens

I hope they allow the changing of the sms sounds without having Jailbreaking being the only option to be able to do this.

[shockz]

Agreed. I've never seen a phone limit what sounds you can have for text messages, yet many of the useless ringtones would go good for sms alerts.

The only one that's decent is "electronic", and thats because its the only one I can hear when I'm out.

Unfortunately that also appears to be a limitation of the G1 and a lot of other mobile phones on the market as well. If they are going to limit you to built in message tones, they should make them a little less crappy IMO
