Oh yeah, this is ‘freakin’ tight *** ****. I was able to run Geohot’s Blackra1n. Sure ‘nough, I’m jailbroken now. I’m not 3.1.2, but **** that version, I don’t care about it. I’m simply glad to have a brand new iPhone 3GS and to be jailbroken (OS 3.1).

I included some screen shots of the process of installing Cydia. I’m fully jailbroken now and runnin’ with a brand new iPhone, The Neocell 2.0, and now I’m runnin’ on America’s fastest network. Freak yeah. I got me a lotta’ customization hacking and other goodies to try out. Hello Backgrounder…

Peace, K

Ugg… ‘nother ******’ jailbroken app I’ve had to uninstall. **** too, I loved Inspell. Amazing app. Truly… amazing. But the little ‘freaker was slowin’ down the system… and started slowly makin’ typin’ unbearable. I mean, what was I to do?? I’d deal with people who had iPhones with OS 3.0. What am I to do with spelling on the Neocell but have it be sluggish? Brag to non-jailbroken OS 3.0 iPhone users:

“Well I’m customized, I actually got spellin’ on my iPhone.”

“For real? Oh my god. Girl, come see this, this boy’s got spelling on his iPhone… Show us.”

“‘Ight, check it out… wait… the Notepad app’s not, wait… gotta’ wait for the, um… keyboard will take just a sec… it’s… ‘freak, come on… do something… it’s really not that slow when, oh, ok, it’s ready.” *tap tap tap* “See? Spelling.”

“Wow, that’s awesome… but, um, why is everything so slow?”

Yeah, um… **** that. And here’s the worst part… besides Adblock, it’s the only jailbroken app I have running with my system. I’m not even using Backgrounder. That’s pure sluggishness, Inspell, all by itself. And it’s not Adblock doin’ it because didn’t install Adblock until after Inspell started making the system sluggish. And no, I didn’t have nothin’ funky added into Inspell, just the normal app and everything that came with it (just the English dictionary, no other languages).

So how bad was the sluggishness? Bad… You could feel it just swiping through springboard pages (springboard is the icon desktop thing). Once I uninstalled it and anything else that was also installed with it the speed came right back after a reboot. It absolutely was Inspell. That’s sad man… that’s real sad.

The Neocell’s speed is almost the exact same as non-jailbroken OS 3.0 iPhones (you really can’t tell the difference), so ****’s runnin’ top notch now, but… I miss Inspell and Backgrounder.

Peace, J

So I’ve got the Neocell’s OS 3.0 reinstalled and jailbroken now, and I’ve got all my non-jailbroken apps and media reinstalled… I haven’t touched Cydia or installed any jailbroken apps, and I’m just noticing the amazing speed perormance. I’m talkin’ speed compared to how the Neocell was when it was running good with the jailbroken apps working.

Right now I’ve got nothing installed… and the speed’s much faster than when I had my jailbroken apps installed. So that either means one of two things… either the quick speed is from having the OS reinstalled and it’ll slow down some after I’ve used it some more, or one of three jailbroken apps are slowing the system down. If it is that, the only apps it could be would be BossPrefs, Inspell and Backgrounder.

There could be one other thing… Winterboard. If you read my posts from before, I had Winterboard installed. It made **** so slow and I removed it. But maybe that messed up crap and helped to make things slow.

So I’m gonna’ run a little experiment… I’m not gonna’ install Backgrounder or Inspell to see if performance stays snappy. And in fact, since BossPrefs doesn’t work for wifi, I’m not gonna’ install it at all.

Here’s the reason speed’s so important to me. Speed is “ok” while in apps, but for switching between apps… that’s where speed’s the biggest issue. Someone comes up and says “Where’s the location…” of something. No prob, right? It can be if **** takes a long time. You’ve got the address in Notes. Gotta’ open it up, select the note… then, click the link to open the location up in Maps, then let’s say you wanna’ add the location of it to your contacts. Well if your gonna’ get delay and sluggishness between each action you make, it really becomes frustrating and embarasing. “Opps… wait… Wait…”

So I’m runnin’ the Neocell naked for a while to see how things go before I install Backgrounder or Inspell. Then I’ll let ya all know what kinda’ results I found.

Peace, J

Most of you that are runnin’ the jailbroken OS 3.0 should know by now, but the Dev-team hasn’t figured out how to get push notifications working for our jailbroken versions of OS 3.0 yet.

What’s this mean? This means none of us runnin’ any jailbroken version of OS 3.0 has push notifications. They’re trying to figure how why it’s not working, and hopefully once when they get a jailbroken version of OS 3.1 created after OS 3.1 is released, they’ll figure out why push notifications don’t work.

Kinda’ sucks… no, really sucks. It’d be great to have that for IM apps. But yo, I ain’t complainin’. I care more about more features being released for Backgrounder than push notifications personally. I can minimize an IM app to the background if I really have to. Although, minimizing drails battery life so bad, push notifications wouldn’t.

Peace, J
