    Default Installing i4 App on 3gs.

    I have an App called Photo Geo on my i4 and would like to install it on my 3gs. When I sync with iTunes I get a notification that the App cannot be installed because it is not compatible with this iPhone. Is there any way around this?

    Maybe it's an iPhone 4 app only?

    It is. But I have understood from others that they have been able to install i4 only Apps on 3gs and others. Just wondering how difficult that is to do.

    Yes they will. You just need to do some modding.. Like resizing all the images and renaming them.. Changing the apps it's required for...

    Kind of like what they did for iMovie, and that was JUST a plist edit..
