am I missing something or did the themes get removed also when the app was removed today? Damn shame. I just did an update and wanted to do it the easy way. I have the zips.

(I did it the hard way though since they seem to be gone)

wow thats tight we were the beta testers he could at-least giv us a code or somfing for the sdk version

It was a server error, I had the file pointing to the wrong place. They should be back up now, but I can't get them to work with 1.1.3+ for some reason. Wont properly put files into the folder. Eh?

Donators will get something along those lines, since we consider them customers. But since we don't know anything detailed about the SDK, YET, we can't make promises. There is additional testing that needs done as well, and some people will be invited to that, again once we figure out the SDK details today.

They've never directly worked with 1.1.3, so no new disappointments.

You just D/L them, Open your SSH, and drag them into mobile/library, and chmod to 777 and you're good to go. It's so easy to do I never even considered it a problem. Assuming since you designed the program you should be able to redirect them to the right spot in the future.

I think we can quit giving Pat sh1tt about the SDK ........ for now



(I just wanna alpha test this iPoker for ya )

Yeah it works good manually, the game was programmed "correctly" to take user's home directories into account. Just Installer is having permissions issues when I place files into the /var/mobile/ folder instead of /var/root/

But 1.0 will allow you to put the files into ~/Media/ so you don't have to jailbreak to install themes, you can pop them into place with anything that reads the iPhone as a digital camera. Programs like MegaPhone work great to do this.

We may support OTA downloading as well, depends on what the SDK restricts as far as data downloading and storage.

I'm not bad at hacking, but I'm a poor excuse for a dev........ so the question on my end is "what determines the permissions of a folder?"

If it is the application I figure you'd have whipped that one by now, so I am guessing it is the firmware (OS).

I ponder the query of whether or not a program can be written as a zipped folder that extracts with preset permissions.

..............and in the likelihood that answer is no, that's why I do better on this side of the table

When I went through EE all I had to learn was a little C+ and BASIC to program PLC's

[McCarron]

The OS is a Unix OS and has it's own file permissions. I was having problems loading the Themes via Installer into the /var/media partition (for users on 1.1.3 +). i can manually via SSH but Installer was being problematic.

I need to brush up on some UNIX........

Inevitably I believe I'll end up developing, but probably not for apple. If I can whip out an Electronics Engineering degree (which I did in 03), I can figure out how to write a program for a phone. I was just always more interested in the hardware side. Now the hardware advances so fast and depends on so many other factors (read: other hardware advancing at a different rate) that unless you do tech work with PLC's or something the likeness it's best you learn the software side and ignore the hardware until you can't ignore it anymore.

It took me 12 days to program a 30 unit Allen Bradley PLC network for my final exam in college years ago (I'm 31 now) so I figure I should have the iPhone OS learned within 3 months of whenever I decide to start that journey. Being a troubleshooter/tech by trade I think I'll hammer out issues faster than most once I know what the heck I am doing.

I guess for now you'll just have to depend on apple's SDK to have a solution for integrating the programs into the OS.

Patrick, thanks for the replies. Looking forward to the final version.
