If anyone gets the instructions how to install this...Please add one to this exciting news.
EDIT: So its actually easy to do this...just back up one of your .app and than replace it with hello world..renaming the hello world with the name of the .app.

I can't get it to work because I renamed the hello thing MobileTimer.app. so when i try to add it using terminal when I putfile MobileTimer.app it says "AFCFileRefOpen: 9 "Any help?

I used Manzana....a gui app to transfer the hello app to the iphone and did not experience any problems. Note: Manzana is a windows application.... Try to google that "AFCFileRefOpen: 9" error....there are some answers as why some users get the error.

I used Manzana and deleted the old MobileTimer.app but where exactly do I put the new one? Do I create a new directory or just drag it into /Applications?

EDIT__I tried both and when I start the application its just black and it goes back to the homescreen after about 10 seconds...

LET THE PROGRAMING BEGIN!

oh opps, didn't see this thread first

Thats what I did....but with Calculator...so you just replace Calculator...and ofcourse you put hello in the same directory...Now I tried opening up the hello.app with hexeditor....and did some changes to see if I could add to it...and now I too am having problem...even replacing the original Calculator wont do a thing. I might have to restore everything.

MobileTimer got totally screwed up. Gonna have to restore.

I think it would be easier to simply install the app in the /Applications folder and just edit the DisplayOrder.plist file. Has anyone tried this?

I tried it. Didn't work. No icon, no noting.

People,
if you are gonna repurpose an existing app in /Applications use the DemoApp.

You won't break anything of any use this way. MobileTimer? Really?

I did this and it works fine, tho quite useless.
Still cool that code was compiled for this thing.
