I WILL ADD MORE ONCE I HAVE MORE TIME

Many people jailbreak their iphone/ipod touch and ask themselves what to do next.

Why should you jailbreak?
-Themes and customization
-Custom games
-Springboard add-ons

Adding Sources
-Well first off you want to open up Cydia
-Next go to Sections(Second icon to the bottom left)
-Scroll down until you find Repositories, click it
-Scroll down again until the StefWiz source, download and install
-Go back into Repositories and at the top you should find All Sources, download and install
-You should now have every good source, though it will take a bit longer to update the sources, however its worth it

Adding Themes
-Open up Cydia again and go to the Search(Last icon to the bottom right)
-Search for Winterboard
-It should be all the way at the bottom so scroll all the way down
-It should say this under it: Cydia/Telesphoreo (System)
-Download, install and reboot
-Next go to Cydia then Sections again and scroll down until you see Themes (SpringBoard)
-Click it and there are all the themes (over 2000) for you to use
-Once you download and install go to Winterboard and you should see the name of the theme there
-Click it and it should respring for you and once its done doing its thing you should have your new theme

Games in Cydia
-The App Store isn't the only home for games on the iphone/ipod, you also have cydia which has games that would never be aloud in the app store
-Open Cydia and go to Sections, scroll down to Games
-Here you will find all sorts of games such as: Doom, NES, Gpsphone, Gameboy4iphone etc.
-I will not provide you with the roms
-To add them there are many sources in Cydia to find them(I will not provide once again)
-Only download roms if you own them
-If you have them on your computer and you want to install manually follow directions below

Accessing your ipod/iphones hardware
-This is for Windows only
-In Cydia go to search and search for OpenSHH
-Download and install
-Click http://winscp.net/eng/download.php to download WinSCP
-Once its done installing, go to your ipod/iphone and click settings
-Go to Wi-Fi and click the blue arrow next to your internet
-Write down the IP address, you'll need it
-Open winSCP and click new(At the top right hand side)
-Under Host Name type in your IP address that you wrote down
-Make sure the port number is 22
-Click login, you will be prompted to type in a username which is: root
-Next you will be asked to type in a password which is: alpine
-DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
-If you want to add the roms that you already own then you need to go to /var/root/Media/
-In the Media folder, create a new folder. Name it ROMs and then go into it. In the folder ROMs that you just made, make another folder called NES.
-If you open up the NES app on you ipod/iphone it should be there to play

To get the iPod icon on an iPod touch
-Open Cydia and go to search
-Search for MobileMusicPlayer Flip
-Download, install and respring and you should now have it
-If you don't then go into Winterboard and it should be there to check off

To get setting that Apple would never add
-This one is simpe, go to Cydia and search
-Search for Supreme Preferences, download and install
-Go to Winterboard to enable
-What to do now?
-You should have a new icon replacing your old settings
-Open that and go to Supreme Preferences 3.0, in here you will find many things to do to tweak your ipod/iphone

How to download video clips
-I won't tell you how/where to download full movies, this is for movie trailers etc.
-Go to Cydia and search
-Search for Safari Download Plug-In
-Download and install
-In Cydia go to search and search iMobileCinema
-That is for watching video clips online without downloading

What are the must have apps/games
-This is in my opinion so I don't care if you disagree with me
-Also these are from the App Store and Cydia
-MxTube(Download your favorite youtube videos)
-Winterboard(Customize your SpringBoard with themes)
-dTunes(Watch your downloaded videos from the internet)

To make things easier to access

-Once installed swipe your finger accross the status bar(the bar at the top)
-There you can change the brightness, add notes, be able to respring, reboot etc.
-For more options click the More icon
-Here you can change the theme of it(Search in Winterboard)
-Change the toggles you have
-You can hide apps
-Add numeric Wi-Fi, battery etc.

Customizing the Status bar
-If you downloaded Supreme Prefs. already then follow here, if not then skip this part
-Go to Settings(Supreme Prefs. installed already) and click Supreme pref 3.0
-Click Status bar and at the top you should see Carrier Name, click that and you can put whatever you like
-If you don't have Supreme Prefs then in Cydia search Make It Mine
-Download and install, from there it should be simple to use.

Erasing items throughly
-When you delete things off you ipod/iphone you can still recover it
-If you want it deleted so no one can get it back then go to Cydia
-Click on Cydia Store(on the home page)
-Scroll down untill you see iErase or iWipe(Forget what its called)
-You have to purchase this, though its perfect if you want to delete embarrassing photos or videos

Changing your font

Adding your own songs on Tap Tap Revenge 1
-First download TTR in the app store, make sure its number 1
-Next on your computer go here Tap Maker|Tap Transfer
-Download the top two, if your on a mac download the bottom one
-Follow the instructions there and it should work

Chanding Cydia wallpaper
