    Yes. Via DisplayOut (a cydia package) for 2.99, or you can do it manually. I will tell you how.

    Step 1. Download iFile from cydia, there's a free trial with all the features you'll need.
    Step 2. Navigate to /System/Library/CoresServices/Springboard.app and scroll down all the way til you see something like N81AP.plst
    Step 3. Pen that file with property viewer. Hit the + and type in "display-mirroring" without the quotes. Under type hit Boolean, and hit where it says property list, and scroll down and hit the folder capabilities. Then go back and hit create.
    Step 4. Respring or reboot your device.
    Now, I know this works if you have a DV adapter that plugs into your tv, but it should also work with AirPlay. Hope this works for you.

    Think he is wanting the airplay type. The one that requires no connection and just wifi.

    I am currently wanting this for my iPad 1 too.

    Shouldnt it still work though? Because its enabling native mirroring. Like in the iPad 2. Because in the iPad 2 it's native for the cable and the apple tv AirPlay.

    It's sort of different because with A5 devices you can stream over wifi but with that tweak you only get to do mirroring over a cable.

    Yes I believe so. I use an hdmi adapter, do I'm not 100% sure, but it should work. Let me know if it does.
