Pimp my iPod using iPhone Browser (USB Mod)


It's been a while since I posted again, guess I was too busy with my iPod...

Thanks to iPhone Browser, now who needs WiFi, SSH, Customize, Summerboard and Installer to install apps and fully modify your Pod?!?

You've got a USB cable, then you can do it all...

First download the iPhone Browser (Windows), install it, plug your iPod (you don't even need to run iTunes to have the Pod detected by the browser). 



Then browse the content of your iPod, drag files in to the GUI browser to transfer files to your iPod. Removal of files from the iPod is safe (iPhone Browser will back up the files in your local HDD before deletion... COOL)!

Replace all the default icons from /Application/AppName.App/icon.png with whatever you want. You can backup your current Summerboard Themes Icons by copying out /var/mobile/Library/Summerboard/Themes/Theme_Name_Folder.... so you can use any icons from any themes on your Pod (mix and match!).

To install the Application, use iGopher (instructions from my previous post) to download the packages to your PC, then unpack them to your iPod using iPhone Browser! Simple!

I've got PSX4All installed with NBA Live 2003 ROM, NES Emulator with tons of ROMs as well... getting a bit lazy to post the screen shots and additional instructions for the emulator installation and config... will do it next time... watch out for it!

If at first you fail, call it version 1.0
