VM/swap space WIN

Haven’t updated in a while.
Just to let you guys know, if you’re having trouble with RAM on your ipod touches, search on Cydia for “virtual memory” or “swap space”. After installing, reboot, and then go to sbsettings and press FREE UP MEMORY under “processes”. If your RAM is under 50MB, it will jump up to 80MB. I can now run COD zombies, mail, safari, MSN, and STILL run Modern Combat without breaking a sweat.

How does this work? Well I’m not going to go into the detailed technical aspects, but basically is uses a bit of your Flash memory and converts it into RAM space (up to 256MB for me). The downside to this ofc, is your long term memory will eventually wear out (give it 5 years or so). RAM memory is designed for bashing around, but constantly rewriting on your HD is going to kill it.

Is it worth it? I’d say yes. It’s going to improve your experience by SOOOOOO much (I mean it, before I couldn’t even run COD zombies, even after I killed every other process). Chances are, my 2g IPT is going to be replaced within 5 years, so no big deal over the dead memory. Go for it.

Well, I felt like writing something, so here you are dunno when I can update again. Maybe when firmware 5 comes out.

Green Screen of Death?? :O

Hiya,

to be honest, I really hate iOS4.0
If you haven’t upgraded, dont.
4.0 with wallpaper and backgrounding enabled = slow as hell :O
Battery = shitty (100% to 20% in one hour on safari WTF??)
RAM = crap (can’t run mail and safari at the same time for more than 10 minutes…)

3.0 is far better + you get all the 4.0 features anyway with JBed apps.

Also, there appears to be a common phenomenon known as “the green screen of death” that happens to MOST iphone/pod users when the battery runs out.
The next time you try rebooting it, you get stuck on a nice lime green screen. And you stay stuck.

I’ve been able to fix this problem by force rebooting my iPod (hold power button + home button for 15 seconds, let go of home button and keep holding on to home button until it reboots) 6 or 7 times. It’s not fun.

This is supposedly caused by “battery faults” (says google) or something. But it’s only happening now I’ve upgraded to 4.0 -__-

Yeah anyway, don’t try downgrading cuz you will get an error during the restore process (20 or something).

iOS 4.0 RELEASED!!!!!! OMG

Hi guys,

Even as I’m writing this post, my iPod is getting jailbroken, with the latest 4.0 firmware!!

All instructions can be found here, including all related downloads: http://www.redmondpie.com/sn0wbreeze-ios-4.0-jailbreak-iphone-3g-3gs-windows/

This is for WINDOWS only.

I’ll let you know how the jailbreak went as soon as I’m finished. GTG

Crud Fkn error 1604 Cant retore…. Plan B: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-jailbreak-ios-4.0-with-redsn0w-0.9.5b5-3/

okay sn0wbreeze doesn’t look like a good option. redsn0w is currently working for me

woah that was scary. my ipod got stuck in a black screen half way through the jailbreak, and I had to redo the whole DFU mode thing.

it’s working fine now i think.

Okay it’s rebooting…

addional info

because of the major firmware update from the 2.x to 3.x, half the tutorials on this web NO LONGER WORK!!!! since i really have no heart to update all the information, ill just tell you here:

the MI patch no longer works, you need AppSync from hackulo.us

some apps no longer work, while other cool ones have popped up.

http://pimpmyi.wordpress.com/all-tutorials-and-pages/firmware3 <– some outdated info on firmware 3

a new (crappy) list on good apps

[check the tutorial page]

[sad face]

Lately, I haven’t got much time to play around on my iPod, but I’ve finally got wifi. Because this blog was previously devoted to those who (most regrettably and unfortunately) dont have wifi, several things will now be changing…

As you might have noticed, Ive spent hours and hours trying to find a work-around to do stuff that required wifi (eg downloading cydia apps) . Now I just cant be bothered.

So, plainly, there is no more point in continuing this blog (except for the benefit of those who DONT have wifi…). I’ll still be updating occasionally and answer some questions

Sorry: under maintainence

I’ll continue updates every now and then now that i’ve decided this blog is too valuable to loose XD

sorry for the period of inactivity [15/4/10]

Welcome to Pimpmyi, your (still) best blog on iphone (or more accurately ipod touch 2g firmware 2.xx-3.xx jailbroken) hacks etc etc…
This blog has (fortunately) been declared: STILL IN USE
The post title says it’s under maintenance, but certain intelligence (i.e. me) has informed me that this blog is still longer operational. The owner and maintainer (i.e. me) is currently just too busy to answer any more questions and post more posts. You’re free to browse through this blog and the (incredibly well tested, interesting and accurate) information on it, but questions posted will (unfortunately) be unanswered, and remain unanswered (unless someone is kind enough to answer it for me). If enough people show interest in keeping this blog up and running (by posting a comment below) I might reconsider my decision for abandoning this blog.

Good day to you,
[message from myself, me, and I]
