I almost feel like I should just for this reason alone. It's idiotic to handicap the phone just because people actually use the thing.Costanza said:

Yeah, got the majority of them from the Matte Nano theme - the rest I made using other existing icons, which I made into Matte Nano style icons.Operations said:

I can only imagine how much the service would suffer if everyone was using awesome streaming video apps over 3G. Sad, but since AT&T's the only provider of the device they've painted themselves into a corner over it.
Someone posted this article in another thread, and I think it's worth reading if you haven't:

The idea of stealing an official app has never crossed my mind.OverHeat said:
I've never even read about how it works but assumed it was possible.
Stealing cheap apps is beyond stupid.
Something more expensive like a navigation app is something I would invest my money in if I really needed it.
Also, Tobor is right. Your friend is a piece of shit.

So I attempted to jailbreak my phone about 5 days ago and that same exact thing happened. Was such a pain in the ass.
Ended up having to manually put the thing in recovery mode and restore it to original firmware and reload all my shit on it.
It's for this reason I'm not jailbroken right now.

yeah, this happened to me twice months and months ago on my old 3G. it's the reason I'm not jailbroken on the 3GS.
You may have to put it in restore mode and put everything back on.
jailbreaking has some risks (they're not huge risks) but they are risks. i didn't want to take any more of them with my phone so I stopped. (an ipod touch would be a different matter)
I still miss lockinfo/ intelliscreen sometimes.
Yeah, it happened to me once when I was installing fonts. I didn't do a retore though; I SSHed into the phone (or you can use of those apps that connect through USB) and replaced the faulty app. A reboot was then sufficient to bring it back to normal. I've never had problems with SBSettings before, it's usually one of my most stable mods...

For any Twitterers in here, what app do you like best? I like Tweet Deck because of it's look and UI but it's annoying that I can only randomly see my posts to trending topics and that I have to jump through hoops to see the trending topic list and can't make it a column.
I bought Tweetie thinking it would be the best like everyone claims but it's basically the same exact thing as the free Twitterfon. I actually like Twitterfon better because it highlights new additions in yellow, and you can refresh trending topics with the refresh button unlike Tweetie where you either have to hit the search bar and hit search to reload or go back and hit the topic again. No refresh.
Anyone have a better recommendation? I'm forcing myself to use Tweetie because I paid for it but I think Twitterfon is the champ.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

...hate me...
Yeah, thank you guys. I ended up turning it off and then when I tried to turn it on again it wouldn't boot.
I was fucking worried sick, my iPhone is 5 days old. I thought I would end up with the most expensive brick in the world.
But yeah, it is restoring now. What a relief.
I'm not so sure if I'll try to jailbreak it again so soon.

I think you have to install mobile substrate before you can install sbsettings and winterboard. The same thing happened to me, where it would show the apple logo, and then shutoff, and I had to restore. But then I just installed mobile substrate before everything else and it worked fine.
I also didnt know things were different from using 3g and wifi...should be interesting for the netflix application. I'll check that 3g unrestrictor out

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.

Bingo.
There's an order of operations when it comes to post-jailbreaking procedures.

When you guys say 'wouldn't boot', do you mean it doesn't turn on at all, or just gets stuck with the Apple logo (otherwise known as Apple Logo of Death)?
ALOD is related to the application map. My understanding is that significant changes (moving apps around, crashes, installing, removing apps) can cause the application map to be redrawn, or to target it for redrawing during boot.
Now when it boots, it starts redrawing. If you have a lot of apps, or large apps, or certain apps, this can make it take a long time. This is a problem because a process (mobilewatchdog.bundle), watches the reboot, and if it ever takes more than 2 minutes, it forces a reboot. This ends up being a perpetual process.
A forced reboot (hold home and sleep/wake) 3-5 times can eventually allow a reboot, but disables the non-default apps, until resync. I get ALOD frequently (or I did on 3.0, I didn't on 2.2, and have yet to see it on 3.0.1) and the best way to solve it wasn't actually a restore, but a forced reboot 3 x while connected. Don't ask me why.

WTF. I thought Cydia was supposed to solve the issue of dependencies when installing apps so you don't run into issues like the poster a few up did? Shouldn't it prevent you from installing an app that requires mobile substrate if you don't have it installed first? That's the way the debian-APT works (which is what Cydia is based on)DaCocoBrova said:

Jailbroke again...
Trying to install mobile substrate first this time then.
But, again, I'm stuck on a "reload springboard" screen for 10 minutes now.
I'll wait. How much time would be reasonable to do so?
If I have to restore again... then fuck jailbreak. I'd love to have it, but I love the iPhone anyway.

Whats the name of that theme/UI app or service?
It's like jailbreaking but not exactly?

I used Tweet Deck for awhile since I liked that it was free but it was very unresponsive from my experience. I do like the columns feature though -- I wish the others had that same functionality. Tried Twitterfon's free version but got annoyed at the ads. Saw a friend using Tweetie and fell in love so I bought it. I've heard Twitterator (sp) is pretty good too but it's $5. Tweetie's $2.99 is the sweet spot.jonnybryce said:
