After James’s hack, another iPhone developer and hacker Steven Troughton-Smith started looking into iPod Nano firmware to explore future possibility of hacking or running custom apps.To enter DFU mode on iPod nano 6G: hold down the restart buttons until you get a black screen (it reboots twice) and iTunes sees the device and alerts you.
Yesterday i’ve informed you about the first ever hacking of the 6th generation iPod touch i.e. iPod Nano by James Whelton.For those who don’t know, though this hack is merely as removing an app from Nano springboard and adding blank spaces, but this could lead to bigger hacks or ultimate jailbreaking (rooting) of iPod Nano.Whelton is now back with complete step by step guidelines demoed on a video on how to remove apps from iPod Nano springboard.
Backboard is designed to help new jailbreakers and lazy people to install themes that would require complex setups. Often times when installing a navigational based theme, it would take hours to re-arrange icons, organize applications, and SSH files. Backboard eliminates this stress of having to do-it-yourself and instead you simply launch the app, choose a theme you would like, and tap on it.BackBoard is a FREE app from the ModMyiRepo.
A new simple tweak has released into Cydia called Icon Renamer.The tweak developed by Cydia developer Ryan Petrich and it’s totally free.This tweak will simply do as its name suggests and rename icons of your choice on your springboard. All you need to do is simply tap and hold an icon to enter jiggle mode, then tap the icon you want to rename. This is a very simple tweak developed for a very simple reason to allow users to easily rename their icons.
