How to Fix Cydia Crashes

A lot of people who recently jailbroke their iPhones are having issues with Cydia crashing when launching it. There is a quick and dirty fix for that and it requires to either SSH into your iPhone or use iPhoneBrowser and delete a few files.

Apparently the problem is caused by some corrupted repositories that make Cydia crash within the first few seconds of loading it.

To fix this, simply navigate to /var/lib/apt/lists and delete all the files in this folder except for the folder called “partial”.

Then reboot your iPhone and launch Cydia. It should load without crashing.

How to install apps through disc without dependency errors in Linux

This is a very common issue which Linux users face when they try to install any package from a CD or DVD they always have dependency errors as the package manger only tries to install the package you selected and if there are dependency issue it will not look for the required file either on CD (even if they are presnet in the disc) so to resolve this issue there is a Hack we can make the disc which contains package looks like a online repositry to the package manager. In this case we are doing it with YUM.

First you need to reate a dvd.repo text file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the following content:

[dvd]
mediaid=1170972069.396645*
name=DVD for RHEL5( if Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 is Your Operating system if you are using any other OS please change the name)
baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_5%20i386%20DVD/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

(*) The mediaid= value comes from the .discinfo file located in the root of the DVD.

For example, to install the dovecot package using the new dvd.repo file, run yum with the –noplugins option so yum will not try to communicate with the online repositry server for dependencyinfact will look in the drive for other files.

# yum install dovecot –noplugins
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Resolving Dependencies
–> Running transaction check
—> Package dovecot.i386 0:1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 set to be updated
–> Finished Dependency Resolution

Dependencies Resolved

=============================================================================
Package Arch Version Repository Size
=============================================================================
Installing:
dovecot i386 1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 dvd&nb!
sp; 1.5 M

Transaction Summary
=============================================================================
Install 1 Package(s)
Update 0 Package(s)
Remove 0 Package(s)

Total download size: 1.5 M
Is this ok [y/N]:

If problems occur while trying this procedure, run yum clean all and try running yum install again.

[dvd-cluster]
mediaid=1170972069.396645
name=DVD for RHEL5 - Cluster (type Fedora in place of RHEL5 if using Fedora same goes for if you are using any other flavour)
baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_5%20i386%20DVD/Cluster
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[dvd-cluster-storage]
mediaid=1170972069.396645
name=DVD for RHEL5 - ClusterStorage (type Fedora in place of RHEL5 if using Fedora same goes for if you are using any other flavour)
baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_5%20i386%20DVD/ClusterStorage
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[dvd-vt]
mediaid=1170972069.396645
name=DVD for RHEL5 - VT (type Fedora in place of RHEL5 if using Fedora same goes for if you are using any other flavour)
baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_5%20i386%20DVD/VT

Add cracked apps to iphone

This tutorial will show you how to install cracked .app applications on your iPhone. Although very easy and convenient, this is not the best way to add cracked apps. Given that most cracked iPhone apps are .ipa files, I recommend you have a look at my guide on how to install .ipa files on your iPhone instead.

If you like this post, please feel free to digg it, or subscribe to our RSS feed, or follow me on Twitter, or all of the above

I assume that you’re on a jailbroken 2.X iPhone and that you have installed OpenSSH from Cydia.

1. Download cracked application.

2. Unzip the cracked application folder to your desktop.

3. SSH into iphone.

4. In WinSCP, navigate to /Applications.

5. Drag the cracked application folder over the /Applications folder and drop it in there.

6. Right click on the cracked application folder and change permissions to 0755 and select the box beside “set owner group and permissions recursively” (or go inside the folder, select everything, and set properties to 0755 as well), then hit ok.

7. In the /Applications folder, make a new folder called “Documents”, with a capital D. Change the permissions on the “Documents” folder you just created to 0777.

8. Navigate to /var/mobile/ and make a new folder called “Documents”, with a capital D. Change the permissions on the “Documents” folder you just created to 0777.

9. Reboot your device

Note: Some applications require you set permission to 0775. It seems to be kinda random so if 0755 doesn’t work, try 0775.

4 Ways to Create Bootable Live USB Drives (For Windows, Linux and Mac OS X)

1. Using UNetbootin (for Windows and Linux)

UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD. You can either let it download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.

UNetbootin has built-in support for automatically downloading and loading the following distributions: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, Linux Mint, Sabayon Linux, Gentoo, MEPIS, openSUSE, Zenwalk, Slax, Dreamlinux, Arch Linux, Elive, CentOS, Damn Small Linux, Mandriva, SliTaz, FaunOS, Puppy Linux, FreeBSD, gNewSense, Frugalware Linux, NetBSD but can work with others too.


UNetbootin can also be used to load various system utilities, including:

Parted Magic, a partition manager that can resize, repair, backup, and restore partitions.
Super Grub Disk, a boot utility that can restore and repair overwritten and misconfigured GRUB installs or directly boot various operating systems
Backtrack, a utility used for network analysis and penetration testing.
Ophcrack, a utility which can recover Windows passwords.
NTPasswd, a utility which can reset Windows passwords and edit the registry.
Gujin, a graphical bootloader that can also be used to boot various operating systems and media.
Smart Boot Manager (SBM), which can boot off CD-ROM and floppy drives on computers with a faulty BIOS.
FreeDOS, which can run BIOS flash and other legacy DOS utilities.


Installation & Screenshots

If using Windows, run the file, select a distribution, floppy/hard disk image, or kernel/initrd to load, select a target drive (USB Drive or Hard Disk), then reboot once done.



If using Linux, make the file executable (using either the command chmod +x ./unetbootin-linux, or going to Properties->Permissions and checking "Execute"), then start the application, you will be prompted for your password to grant the application administrative rights, then the main dialog will appear, where you select a distribution and install target (USB Drive or Hard Disk), then reboot when prompted.





After rebooting, if you created a Live USB drive by selecting "USB Drive" as your install target, press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, or backspace) while your computer is starting up to get to your BIOS boot menu and select USB drive as the startup target; otherwise if there's no boot selection option, go to the BIOS setup menu and change the startup order to boot USB by default. Otherwise, if you did a "frugal install" by selecting "Hard Disk" as your install target, select the UNetbootin entry from the Windows Boot Menu as the system boots up.


To create a Live USB using UNetbootin, download an ISO file, select it under UNetbootin's "diskimage" option, and specify your target USB disk under "Drive:". After pressing OK, wait as the ISO is extracted to your USB drive; once done, you will have a bootable Linux Mint Live USB drive.
Requirements
1 GB or larger USB drive, formatted as Fat32 (most USB drives come formatted as FAT32 by default, but if you need to format it, on Windows, go to My Computer->right click your USB drive->format, or on Linux, use GParted or another partition manager)

Supported operating systems: Windows 2000 and above OR a modern Linux distribution

Additional dependencies (Linux Only): You will need the packages syslinux and p7zip-full installed (no dependencies on Windows)
2. Using Win32 Image Writer (Windows only)

Graphical Interface



Download the desired .img file
Download Disk Imager from https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download

Insert your flash media
Note the drive letter assigned to your flash media
Start Disk Imager
Select the downloaded file and target device, and click "Write"
Remove your flash media when the operation is complete
Command Line Interface

Download the desired .img file
Download flashnul from http://shounen.ru/soft/flashnul

Attach your USB drive
Run flashnul -p

Note the physical device number for the USB drive
Run flashnul -L \path\to\downloaded.img

Answer "yes" if the selected destination device is correct
Remove your USB drive when the command completes
3. Using usb-imagewriter (Ubuntu Only)

Graphical Interface



Download the desired .img file
Install the usb-imagewriter package
If your release does not include this, download it from Oliver's PPA

Open Applications -> Accessories -> Image Writer

Insert your flash media
Select the downloaded file and flash device, and click "Write to Device"
Remove your device when the operation is complete
Command Line Interface

Download the desired .img file
Open a terminal and insert your flash media
Look at the output of dmesg | tail -20 to determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/sdb)

Run sudo umount /dev/device/node

Run sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/device/node bs=1M

Remove your flash media when the command completes
4. Using Diskutil (Mac OS X only)

Download the desired .img file
Open a Terminal (under Utilities)
Run diskutil list to get the current list of devices

Insert your flash media
Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2)

Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN

Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m

Want a Custom Carrier Logo?

First, If you would like a custom carrier logo, there are a couple rules that you must follow first.
Code:

-The image must be 44x20
-Must be a .png image
-One black and the other white.

I am sure there is a guide that gets deep into depth of this somewhere. If not, i will put mine on here.

Anyways, you take the 2 logos that you would like to use, and make their names spelled EXACTLY as they are below, Where is your carrier. Normally, it's just ATT:

(White Image) - FSO_CARRIER_.png
(Black Image) - Default_CARRIER_.png

Now, as you have both images, you should SSH into your phone and go into the /System/Library/Carrier Bundles section and find your carrier. Place the images into the correct folder and apply changes. Restart your Iphone and when its back up, you should see your custom logo.

If you are not using ATT or Tmobile and would like to use a custom logo as well like me, then you can put both your logos in the "/System/Library/Carrier Bundles/unknown.bundle" folder, with your carriers name being the (mine would be Centennial). Restart Iphone, and should work...but if all else fails...there is a 3rd contingency plan.

Final plan, is follow everything from step one. Then, download MakeItMine. After applying the new carrier logos to the ATT folders in your SSH, restart your Iphone. Then, when your back up, use MakeItMine and type in the box "ATT" without the quotes. Hit the carrier button, and VIOLA'!

Get SMS delivery notification on your iPhone

For all iPhone users who miss SMS delivery notification, here is a simple trick to make it work on your iPhone.

Just enter these special characters before your message and you will get notification as soon as it gets delivered.

Vodafone/Hutch: *N#
Airtel: !
BSNL CellOne Networks: *N#
For my Idea YYYY works like charm

So for example, if you are on Vodafone, your message should look something like this -

SMS delivery notification on an iPhone

If you are on other carriers, try prefixing any of these combinations -

*0#
#
!
*not#
*N#
##

Since this is a feature of the cell carrier, this trick will work on other phones as well. The carrier will also strip out the special characters when it delivers the message to the recipient.

If you know codes of other carriers, please mention it in the comments. Thanks!

iPhone hack - Run OS X Dashboard widgets on your iPhone

OS X Widgets

1. Copy /System /Library /WidgetResources over to your iPhone
2. install your OS X widgets into /var /root /Library /Widgets (create this directory if it does not exist)
3. run Widgets.app

Move over all the files and do not rename any directories. Results vary depending on the widget. The Weather, ESPN, and Calendar widgets work great; the Flight Tracker, Dictionary and Phone Book are among the worst in compatibility. And yes, the irony doesn’t escape us that the Phone Book widget is terrible on the iPhone. Hopefully someone will add Widgets.app to AppTapp to make this hack even easier.
