Just off the top of my head some of the Apps/Features I use that make JB worth it.
-User background
-Faded Icons
-Dr. Pepper battery charging image (I love DR. P)
-TomTom GPS (I have a Garmin in my car but still its worth it just to have it)
-MLB At-Bat App (Big time app use it everyday)
-Kijiji (100x a day app)
-Beejive IM (MSN and AIM and all that on the phone sick app)
-Future Gas Prices (I think its only for some of Canada but I'm not sure, its sick)

Those are just the ones off the top of my head that I use everyday multiple times, check into them!

[SgtM]

I have an 8gig iPhone 3G. It came with the headphones that answers/hangs up the phone, and controls the iPod features.

I'm talking about the 3rd gen Ipod Touch.

[redlinegts85]

Ok I didn't read the thread but I have a few questions. I have an iphone 3gs 16gb with the newest software installed (3.1.2)

1. Is it worth jailbreaking my phone?

2. Is it possible that jailbreaking my phone will cause damage that I can't fix?

3. What are the negatives of jailbreaking?

4. Can I go back to an un-jailbroken phone if I want to?

5. How do I go about jailbreaking my phone?

Thanks.

[SgtM]

1. Yes
2. No
3. Voids warranty, but you can restore
4. See 3
5. Blackra1n

[redlinegts85]

Alright I just jailbroke my phone, now where do I start? Do I go to cydia or to the app store to get apps? I thought all the apps were free now? When I went to the cydia store it still shows them costing money.

How do I change the way everything looks on my phone? Basically I just want to know where to start.

[SgtM]

1.. the app price is there because that's what it costs in the app store.
2.. search the themes

Anyone know what lockscreen theme this is?

[platour22]

those using the 3g phones if it didn't work try this. Save the blackra1n program in your C:/ drive. Then open task manager and close anything that says itunes or apple. Then right click on the blackra1n and run administrator. then make is ra1n. I had to do it several times before it work but finally got it.

[redlinegts85]

Anyone know why my tethering usage under "settings: general: usage" disappeared after jailbreaking? What exactly does tethering mean? I don't want my phone to be tethering without me knowing or something.

[bygbyrd]

I believe thethering is when you use your phone to gain internet connection for your computer.

Whats the difference between blackra1n and redsn0w?

[platour22]

i think the programmer. I don't don't believe redsn0w has one yet for the 3.1.2

[redlinegts85]

blackra1n is the jailbreak for the newest software (3.1.2). redsn0w is for previous ones I believe.

Took me like 1 minute to jailbreak my phone with blackra1n

[bwhitfield24]

get installaus
goto cydia, click on manage
click on sources
click edit
click add
type cydia.hackulo.us
install "installaus"

NOW YOU HAVE INSTALLAUS
you can now get any app you want for free

to make your phone look diffrent
use cydia to find themes
and winterboard to select what theme or
whatever else you want to run
like i suggest getting "the best clear lockscreen"
then checkmark it using winterboard

[AssDragginSdime]

i am on vista 32. Unfortunately i dont have access to a win7 machine. I heard this is supposed to work on all versions of windows tho. Only thing i can think of is, maybe i need to disable autosync on itunes. Maybe its interfering with the program. its restoring right now for about the 5th time. So as soon as thats done ill give that a shot. see if it helps.

I would make sure itunes is NOT running.
make sure blackra1n is in your c:\ and not on your desktop.

heres a huge thread where tons of people were having probs.
might help you.

yea. i just reinstalled itunes today so there must be a seting checked that i need to uncheck, but when i run blackrain, as soon as it connects and goes to recovery mode, itunes boots up automatically and says it found an iphone in recovery mode, and that it needs to be retsored, And from there blackrain just hangs and doesnt do anything. i just switched over to a different machine, i am going to try it on xp. i am waiting for itunes to download so i can get the apple mobile device drivers and shit. hopefully it will work this time.

hmmm......make sure you have got 3.1.2, and update your carrier settings as well then

just do a control alt delete and goto task manager and end itunes.

also I read that you should disable "bonjour" if it's running

start
right click my computer
click manage
expand services and applications
click services
highlight bonjour service
right click, properties
change from enabled to disabled

[AssDragginSdime]

Fvck this.. As far as im concerned this blackra1n shit is garbage. i want to punch the dude who wrote this shit in the face... Everyone on all these ipod forums is suckin his dick because he wrote some shitty program that only works on like 1 10th the devices.. I tried everything. on 2 different computers, under 2 different operating systems, under different usb ports, Tried everything listed on every forum i can find.. I lost count at around 35 or 40 attempts to jb my shit.. Im pretty pissed an on the verge of putting my phone in a vice.

[AssDragginSdime]

SON OF A BITCH... as soon as i posted that ^^^^ i ran it thru like twice more and it randomly worked.. Not bad for about 3 hours worth of trying.. and about 70 attempts.. ****in lame.. shit definitely needs alot of work.. I thought redsnow was touchy cus i had to run that 3 or 4 times sometimes.. this shits crazy.

[Ragged97]

dude.....

well after I couldnt do it on my work pc, like I said I tried it on my laptop
and it worked the very first time. I swear it was only 30 secs, and then
wham.......my phone rebooted and it was the easiest jailbreak to date.
I thought everyone who who was lucky was just kidding. I got the itunes/usb
thing twice at work, but my laptop worked perfect. sorry you got stuck so many times. what phone do u have

With blackra1n, you can. The only problem is, it's tethered, so if you want to restart the device, you have to run blackra1n again.

If you're having problems with blackra1n, read my post:
http://weirdandwhacky.com/blackra1n-...-help-is-here/

[AssDragginSdime]

i dont know how it worked. I did literally nothing differently. the first 3 or 4 times i tried it i had the carrier update installed. Then a read to not do anything at all after updating, so i did id mad times witout the carrier. The last time i did it, i installed the carrier, ran blackrian, and it actualyl cycled all the way thru, and said it was done. The phone restarted, but there was no blackrain icon. And the gay picture of frodo didnt come up. So i said **** this im gonna try it one last time, did the exact same thing, and it worked.

[cpolaris502]

Six Icon dock! if you have 5 id already you will need to uninstall it first and then install 6.

And I am also JB now on 3.1.2 with black rain. It wasn't hard for me at all.

[Diablo]

Any of you used iCall yet? I use it with 3g unrestricted. You can make phone calls over the internet, and if your roaming you can use it and free calling!! Works great, and has the key pad just like regular dialing!! It's an excellent program!!!
