Why should i jailbreak???» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Introduction: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
So you have your iPod touch and you can install thousands of apps from AppStore. What’s all this commotion about jailbreaking? Why would you need to jailbreak? What does it offer? In this post, I will cite some of the most compelling reasons to jailbreak your iPhone.
Risk Free:» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Jailbreaking is not unlocking! It is risk free. Everything that works before jailbreaking continues to work after. Jailbreaking only adds features. Jailbreaking is risk free and cannot void your warranty. You can simply restore in iTunes at anytime to get back to a factory state. You are not alone, many people are doing it. Several hundred thousand people are jailbreaking!

Reason #1: Winterboard + Customization» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Winterboard allows you to do this:


Reason #2: Jailbreak to fix Apple’s bugs» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
There are bugs in iPhone OS. Jailbreakers can fix some of these. Some examples:
1) Mail app crashes after restoring backup from iTunes. Apple’s solution is to not restore your backup. That’s right. Lose all your contacts! If you jailbreak, bossprefs “fix user dir permissions” button solves this.
2) iPhone will not boot after installing too many apps and you have to restore. There is a way to fix this problem by editing some files in SSH. Soon the entire issue will be solved.
3) Camera fix as described here.
4) You are limited to 9 pages of apps. After that, your appstore installs just don’t show up and there is no way to run them. If you jailbreak, you can use QuickGold, Categories, or other launchers to launch your apps. You can even put them in folders (more on Categories below).
Reason #3: Launchers» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
There are now some fantastic springboard add-ons for iPhone. These are OS level enhancements and are therefore, not allowed on AppStore. Those that do not have these are really missing out.
Quick Gold - This is an amazing app that is just like QuickSilver on OSX. You tap home once at springboard and type in your search and it instantly finds what you are looking for. The search is type-as-you-go and fast. In other words, if you type “B” it will bring up all the results with B. If you now press “o” it will filter to “Bo” etc. You can search apps, contacts, web clips and more.

Dock 3.0 - This is an app switcher that is always available. It is hard to describe, so check out the video link for a demo. This is also a mobile substrate plugin so there is no extra daemon running on your device.
Stacks - If you’re an OSX user, you probably already know what this is. But it’s a neat way to put items onto your dock that you want to get to quickly and have them pop up in a cool menu. Check it out.
Categories - So I cant write this whole article without at least showcasing one of my own contributions. So here is Categories. This allows you to make folders on your springboard and move those pages of icons into folders. Think Games, Apps, Networking, etc. Reduce 9 pages of apps down to just 1!
Reason #4: Backgrounder» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
There are severe limitations imposed on AppStore apps. One of these is “no background processes.” This means that if you have an app, such as an instant messenger app, every time you press home to go to something else, the app is closed out. You are disconnected. You get no messages, no notification, nothing.
Backgrounder is an attempt to fix this. Backgrounder allows you to select an app that you want to allow to run in the background. Then when you press home, that app will keep running. Perfect for an IRC app or such that you do not want to get disconnected everytime you tap the home key. This adds critical functionality that you cannot get unless you jailbreak!
Reason #5: Cydia» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Jailbreak will install a 3rd party application server called Cydia. There are many other apps available only for jailbreakers. These are apps that Apple has either declined from Appstore for one reason (usually they break one of their ridiculous rules) or the developer doesn’t own a MAC or doesn’t feel like paying $100 to distribute their app. For a list of what’s avaiable in Cydia, load Cydia. Many of these apps offer functionality that is just not available in Appstore. For example:
Flashlight - Better than Appstore’s many flashlights because it makes the screen brighter. What good is a dim light? Sheesh.
BossPrefs - Hide unwanted icons on your springboard. Dont use stocks or iTunes? Hide it so you do not need to see it. Access quick toggles to handy features such as bluetooth, wifi, EDGE.
Macman - A pacman like game only available on Cydia.
Reason #6: Take Control of Your System» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Would you want to own a PC where only Dell decided what you could do with it? Jailbreaking opens your device up to you deciding what to do with it. You can install a BSD unix subsystem and SSH. You can use a mobile terminal. It’s just like a real mini computer!

SSH» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Part I: What is SSH?What is it?» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Accessing the filesystem of your iPod from your computer, so you can see the files over the internet. It stands for Secure Shell.
Why you need it?» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Not everything is available in Cydia. Many theme creators release their themes on a forum rather than submitting them Cydia. Some beta testing can involve SSH, and sometimes if there's a problem with your iPod, SSH can work for you. If you need to put some files on your iPod, then you need SSH.
Part II: Getting it on your iPodSTEP 1: Jailbreak your iPod.
STEP 2: Find your IP Address
STEP 3: Installing OpenSSH from cydia
Part III: Setting up your ComputerDownload one of the clients below. If you have a Mac, choose one of the Mac clients. If you have a PC, choose a PC client.
