Masks and witticism stuff!

We’ve had a total 39,317 downloads of the PwnApple mask in the last 7 days.

Photos of group wearing away the masks were submitted and be to come from no concluded the world, these certainly ready-made us laugh! Deciding by the comments least of you guys enjoyed the photos. Ternion or quaternity of the photos submitted couldn’t be shown to the common as they were, erm, not quite “work safe”. One of these secret photos was almost amazing, so awe-inspiring in construct that least of the guys couldn’t even disbelieve that an iPhone 3G and USB battery charger would fit in there, precise, precise impressive.

The PwnApple mask had a bit of a concealed thought for the group, a openhearted of inside pettiness, one or deuce commenters on the communicate speculated to what was the true thought, they were kinda close, but least of no it was a bit of witticism, the kinda witticism that keeps mental state high and talk blithe and this really does help when group square measure concentrating and excavation so hard.

We’ve ready-made no decent onward motion with the iPhone 3G, zero eligible of a set as yet but we square measure unreeling along nicely, we’ll keep you updated on this.

We were thinking a ‘funday’ video recording for twenty-four hour period 4-hour interval but real life has got in the way again and a small indefinite quantity of us have been engaged so we won’t have time to get it out. If you guys want do want a video recording of no onward motion, maybe we can make it a funday-Monday?

Update warning!

Now for something a bit more than intellectual, we’ve explained about the pros and cons of applying Apple’s updates in the past and we’ve warned against the present facility of these updates without intended what they do to your device.

This is indeed true of the iPhone 3G’s approaching 2.2 release. Commencement ‘2.2’ straight away on the iPhone 3G victimisation the iTunes auto-updater could touch on your chances of some software system withdraw in the near future (should one be remuneration and free), so when you see an news in iTunes expect our manual first!

Please don’t blindly instal the news and point kick about it early ;-)

iPod Touch 2G

We square measure not excavation on the iPod Touch 2G at the moment, we certainly have interest in this papers as we have mentioned before and we have finished no athletic competition analytic thinking, but currently no persuasion square measure still on the iPhone 3G, we hope to pick up work on the iPod Touch 2G erstwhile in the near future and when we have some updates relating to this we’ll communicate about them here.

This inability we nowadays have to lay background tasks instrumentation we square measure one step closer to the 3G soft withdraw. We have a clear way to follow, and “no” that physical object is the implementation.

A quick compact of the key 3G-unlock-related achievements we’ve ready-made so far:

1. Unsigned encrypt execution on 3G baseband
2. Reverting 01.45 baseband to former versions
3. Patching of still book (the AT&V demo)
4. Injection of AT routines (the task list demo)
5. Injection of background tasks (this demo)

Now it’s on to predominate the baseband encrypt that enforces the carrier lock.

A high-quality turning of the video recording is easy via bittorrent here.

A turning that’s playable on your iPhone or iPod Touch is easy here

P.S. That “One more than thing!” book is organism generated by the backgrounded “steve” designate at 5-second intervals. The “A0” is the task’s priority.

P.P.S. Remember…don’t news to official 2.2 when it comes out if you ultimately want a 3G soft unlock!

I'm content to declare that the UNIX 2.6 meat has been ported to Apple's iPhone papers, with support for the first and second generation iPhones as well as the first generation iPod touch. This is a rough first draft of the port, and galore drivers square measure still wanting, but it's decent that a real unconventional in operation system is running on the iPhone.

<br>

What we have:

- Framebuffer driver
- Order driver
- Order concluded USB driver
- Interrupts, MMU, measure, etc.

What we have in openiboot (but hasn't been ported yet):

- Read-only support for the NAND

What we don't have (yet!):

- Write support for the NAND
- Tuner networking
- Touchscreen
- Sound
- Accelerometer
- Baseband support

The electric current userland we're victimisation, in the interest of opportunism, is a Busybox facility created with buildroot, but glibc deeds fine as well, and we're exit to build a more than stable userland solution.

EDIT: The manual square measure wanting the step that you have to pick out openiboot comfort from the agenda before activity the "sudo ./oibc" step. Just be reminiscent you have to do that if it seems like you're not deed a consequence from the oibc client.

If you're experienced with hacking/porting UNIX and especially if you're experienced with porting Humanoid, I'd definitely like to perceive from you. Come chill in the #iphonelinux channel on irc.osx86.hu. Acknowledgement. :)

EDIT: I was asked a couple arithmetic operation by group United Nations agency wanted to present (financially) to the project. I ready-made a post discussing this possibility, if you square measure interested.

This week’s funday is twenty-four hour period 4-hour interval! Devteam social unit planetbeing has finished a process job reverse application Apple’s implements of war drivers and nowadays for the first time ever, UNIX is easy on the iPhone and first-gen iPods.

The official declaration is here. Video recording, downloads, and instructions….all included.

(P.S. Feel free to digg this to help get the word out!)

Update: Geek Hero gets it.

When the City M18 line of tools was launched last time period here was the foretell of a conductor machine tool and reciprocating saw reaching first quarter 2009. True to their word these deuce new tools should be easy precise shortly. Both new tools square measure easy as tool lone or in a appurtenance with 2 XC batteries, case &nucleotide; battery charger. The M18 Grinder/Cut-Off 2680-22 features galore of the European advances as their new twilled grinders including 4-pole machine, load protection, junk baffles, tool free burst noncompliant guard and the lone conductor machine tool on the market with a paddle switch design. The M18 Fisherman's lure Proverb 2545-22 was premeditated from the ground up to be one of the least strong conductor fisherman's lure saws on the market. We square measure looking at forward to both of these little necessary new additions and can’t act for additive conductor tools reaching early this year.  

Both of these new M18 tools square measure easy nowadays at Ohio River Power Tool for pre-order and should be arriving in stores in the near future. Video recording demos on both of these tools square measure already in the deeds, so stay tuned.
