This may have been asked but has anyone started a thread as to what programs work and what doesn't....other than winterboard?
TIA

You can always just hide it with SBSettings.

Nope. Just as fast as before.

Well, I guess I'm walkin to that giant cube of an Apple store on 5th ave tomorrow. Sweet!

I tried jailbreaking my 3g s, but it didn't work... do you have to use at&t sim card for jailbreaking? Because I got my phone through EBay and it doesn't come with the sim card...

Is there anyway to do it without at&t sim?

**TommyTree** · 07-05-2009, 11:50 PM

Is this just for 3GS? Or does it would for 3G too?

Worked great for me. Only app I've installed was Cydelete to delete freeze. But all phone functions work fine

**edssti** · 07-06-2009, 12:23 AM

sooo sick

**compilez** · 07-06-2009, 12:40 AM

sooo, if you're on a PPC Mac (like me) you're just S.O.L? Maybe Pwnagetool 3.1 will be PPC friendly?

im actually restoring back to factory. i might re-jailbreak when winterboard is working properly maybe. i guess i got to spoiled by the speed of the 3GS. initially when i first installed cydia things were still snappy but after i installed five icon dock and five column springboard. i totally noticed a bit of a slowdown. kinda felt like a 3g factory. i noticed the reboot took as long as the 3g and loading up games took a little longer. not a big deal just not worth it for someone like me who only used it before to background my IM applications. now with push i dont need it. i do like some other things but i can do without it for now... just thought i would share my experience if your like me and the 3GS has fulfilled all your needs than skip this unless you need ultrasn0w.

**absolutchrys** · 07-06-2009, 01:06 AM

wow that was ridiculously quick!... backed up my iPhone 3GS, made it ra1n, and DONE in about a minute...pretty hot...installing Cydia through Freeze now...rebooted the phone...and there's Cydia...perfect! I didn't trust Purplera1n at first since it wasn't the Dev Team's work but damn, Geohot did a great job!

**tattoojack** · 07-06-2009, 01:53 AM

So the only method to "hacktivate" for tmobile is still to pop in an at$t prepaid card?

**Garage Battle** · 07-06-2009, 02:05 AM

having mixed up icon issues. anyone else?

I have a purplerain JB 3GS, and Skype runs ON WI_FI just fine. When I launch Skype, I do get a "Doesn't work on modified 2.2 or 3.0" message. But I just ignore the message, which goes away when I start using Skype. Other than the alert, Skype functions ON WI-FI just like it did before JB. However, it does NOT work using Edge. :-(

I installed Cydelete but stopped short of deleting Freeze. Now I've just figured out the CyDelete settings business. The route is Settings > CyDelete > Non-Cydia Detection > ON. D'oh.

Below is a very short list of what I've discovered so far. I think the best advice I've heard is to wait until the dust settles before using too many Cydia apps. That said, I couldn't wait to see if Categories works, which it does!

WORKS
APT 0.7 HTTPS Method
AptBackup
AT&T Carrier Logo
Call Clear
Categories [thank heavens!!]
Categories v1 Icons
CyDelete
Cydia Installer
FindMyI
Flashlight
iPixel
MakeItMine [yea!]
Moon Phase
OpenSSH
OpenTTD

THROWS INTO SAFE MODE
WinterBoard [reported by others; I haven't felt the need to test it]
qTweeter
tricker3g
voipover3g
Tether
Veency

**EVILFRED** · 07-06-2009, 06:53 AM

Work like a charm. Just rebooted and saw Cydia there. Thanks Geohot's for the app and Modmyi for the walkthrough!

**rumcajs** · 07-06-2009, 07:28 AM

Jailbroke two phones using windows 7 and osx...works like a dream...thanks devs...waiting for winterboard fix...
