Iphone 3g 4.1 or 3.1.3?

[vinceqt]

Well the title sort of says it all but I'm running on an Iphone 3g on 4.1 (8B117) with 06.15.00

Should I downgrade to 3.1.3? Would it be significantly faster? and what would I be losing if I switch if there is anything?

[iPittsburgh]

Well some say 3.1.3 works best on an iPhone 3G but its really up to you. If you feel its running abnormally slow then you may want to consider downgrading to 3.1.3 but I think the only trouble you may have when downgrading is that you have the iPad baseband and may need to use a custom firmware.

[vinceqt]

Would I be losing any features by downgrading to 3.1.3?

[iPittsburgh]

Some apps from the appstore require 4.0 or above.

3.1.3 is the best for iPhone 3G. But if you want to be able to stay on 4.1, disabling multitasking and wallpaper should improve performance very significantly. Also removing unused language packages will help a lot for a speed boost.

[vinceqt]

is there a cydia app to remove the language removal yet?

[i.Annie]

No, you would have to use a combination of mobileterminal and SSH (or iFile if you've got it) to run the code for removing the language packs. Unless you want to manually SSH in and delete all 3000 of them one by one lol.

YouTube it, it's easy. If you search "remove unease language packs" and watch the vid by dr jailbreak, it will help you. He also has included download links to the language pack files that will remove the ones you don't want.

[vinceqt]

oh alright, should i remove the daemon launchers too?

[i.Annie]

Up to you. I don't mess with those. One time it crashed my phone

Then again I probably deleted something incorrectly. You should find a launch daemon disabler app on Cydia for that. Be sure it works with your fw though.

[vinceqt]

Yeah.. I just crashed my phone a few hours ago. Took me an hour or so to finally fix it now I just re jailbroke it and installing everything.

What useful apps do you use from cydia if you don't mind me asking? Stuff such as sbsettings, openssh etc?

[i.Annie]

I use SBSettings, OpenSSH, Backgrounder+Multifl0w (for multitasking), MyOS to disable native multitasking, Bytafont, mobileterminal, iFile, My3G, MyWi, NoSpot (turns off spotlight search), Safari download manager, YourTube 2, unlimtones, probably a ton more lol. But that's most of it. Oh and notified pro for alerts. Some are paid apps but they're worth it.

oh okay, I'm in the process of adding all my contacts again because I was silly and didn't think I needed to back up my contacts =[
