Could somebody PLEASE take a minute and start from the very BEGINNING and tell me which mods and apps are usable on my G4 iMac? I don't know what most of the acronyms you guys are using even stand for, let alone which mods I can do. I'm decently Mac savvy, but have very little experience in programming language or even Terminal. A brief glossary would help, i.e what "skinning"means and what each iPhone hacking program specifically does.

It would be nice to share the fun you guys are having... you're discussing things like possible video conferencing and I don't even have custom ringtones yet!

Thanks in advance for the help!!

I was hoping that someone would put together PPC guides when I started this thread, to answer your questions for PPC users I know that you can do the following:
Ringtones
skins
NES
Installer.app
Launcher.app
Doom
Finder
there's probably much more, but I can only speak on what I've added to my phone. Before PPC users throw in the towel, try this link. it helped me so in the spirit of this thread I want to pass it on

I think that this may be a little easier for people to follow, it worked for me twice (had to reinstall after updating firmware, big mistake). Just make sure if it works for you that you come back and post here so that others can get it too. keep trying everybody!

Definatley worked, just cant get their ringtone tutorial to work. Good post nontheless.

what method were u using to add the ringtones, i use cyberduck and have no problems.

[orgnl]

Cyberduck as well, but when i go to connect using my iPhones IP it just doesnt connect.

[lilscrappydew25]

is this your settings
1. protocol: SFTP (SSH Secure File Transfer)
2. port 22
3 server: are you looking in your wifi settings on your phone for the correct IP address
4. username: root, password: dottie
5. when connected to cyberduck are you adding them in:
sftp://Your IP/Library/Ringtones
i bookmark all the places i in cyberduck where i add files for convenience
try that if you still have problems you can try Fugu, its like cyberduck, just google it.

After many weeks of trying every PPC fix available, the Installer.app from Nullriver worked like a charm. SSH through Cyberduck was also a breeze once I reverted to dynamic IP. Huzzah!

I'm still having SSH connection issues. I've installed open ssh and all via the installer.. but I just can't seem to make a connection via fugu or cyberduck.. if anyone would mind helping me out I'd really appreciate it. email=jujubeanser@tampabay.rr.com aim=jujubeanser

and how exactly would one go about doing this...?

[poetic_folly]

The binaries are available as a pack in our downloads section. You can put them on using your favorite iPhone file browser...

[lilscrappydew25]

you can try iFuntastic 3 now.it may work for you, as it's ppc-friendly and pretty simple to use. I think I still like cyberduck, but it's still early.
