Though the jailbroken iPhones does NOT need Push notification, it can still be pretty much useful (and fancy!) in some cases and maybe will even bring new kind of apps on Cydia soon.

KennyTM (the same guy who created GRiP, Growl for iPhone) has developed a small extension to MobileSubstrate - called FakePushNotification - that lets developers add push notification to their apps using some simple code. To install the extension, simply get it off the googlecode page and the files in following directories using SSH.

• Put the .dylib and the .plist to /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries
• Put the executable (FakePushNotification) to /usr/bin and chmod a+x it.

After installing, running some simple commands from Command Line, like the one below can demonstrate the capabilities.

FakePushNotification com.yourcompany.pushEnabledApp -
aps={
alert={
body = "Hello world!";
action-loc-key = "Welcome!";
};
};
^D

Due to the simple coding, developers can implement it in their apps easily.

NOTE: This is not the final release and may have certain bugs.

You mean hacktivated phones? I don't think so as that's a completely different matter...

[Iman07]

ya this has nothing to do with getting push notification to work for hacktivated phones, i wonder when the dev team will fix this if they are even attempting to; im sure they are. the title confused me lol

Created? Is Growl for iPhone only available in Cydia, is it on the AppStore already (and i can't find it) or is this app still not developed fully? Have been waiting for it.

Growl for iPhone will never be on AppStore due to Apples RULES... Also, this is just a workaround for jailbreak apps to add push notification to them, nothing to do with hacktivated phones

i have been running grip for a while now but only give me email notes. The new one is off the hook but i yet have not upgraded. I really dont know how. they say you have to shh i deb file some where and when your done just reboot, But i seen it in cydia and i installed instead of shhing. it works ok but its a older version. i dont know how to upgrade. I dont know why someone wont just host this in there repo and do updates so this could be alot easyer for people and i bet alot more people will install it.

We are not talking about GRiP but FakePushNotification which is a MobileSubstrate extension...

If this is any help to you guys. I'm on the TMO network running 2G on the 3.0 OS, and so far all i did to get the push notification was installed Beejive 3.0 thru **********

[jasonm253]

thru lol????????????????????????? pm me

[DoocesWild]

This may be a silly question, but you mean on Jailbroken apps, not Jailbroken phones, right?

Jailbreaking my phone doesn't break push from AppStore Apps does it?
