Hi.
This topic is going to be very geeky, so now you're warned.
I'm creating this topic to both study and share geeky stuff about jail-broken devices like the Iphone, ps3, Linux stuff, installing other operating systems onto machines which aren't ment for these operating systems, pushing costume devices to their limits by installing other operating systems and hacking firmwares to make better accessibility. So well, pretty much open topic where I'll start to share my thoughts:
I've thought about jailbraking my Iphone 3g S, but I've not done that yet for some reasons: It's my primary phone which requires it works all the time, I always want the latest firmware and I'm happy with my phone as it is and I'm not that much geeky as this topic might seems to be. I do know how most geeky stuff works, but that doesn't mean I'm an experienced Linux guy. I absolutely no nothing about the Linux console, but I might begin to learn it if something keeps my interest.
I've read a lot of stuff like: jailbrake your Iphone and get root access and control your device by ssh from your computer. Well, sounds awesome, but what would I then be able to do? Well, some people says "just everything." Wel, I don't think so, or realy? I've read some other awesome things which makes me think people tells me the truth when they say "everything." It's possible to install buntu and even Android on your jailbroken devie. that makes me think of the folowing:
It would be awesome if you could install Android and the different accessibility features on an Iphone. But, it would be even more awesome if you could install Vinux on the device. Why not? You have access to the whole OS on the Iphone by a Linux console from your computer, and if the thing can run Ubuntu, it should also be able to run Vinux. Well, I don't see why Well, my only issue is that I have no idea n how to do it. Lol. The only thing I could imagine was plugging the Iphone into a keyboard dock and use it as a normal computer, and then bood up into the normal IOS when you wanna use it like a normal phone.
Yeah, it might sounds like crazy...
What about android? Does it work the same way that you can just install what you want?
And what about the ps3? Damn it would be epic to install a hacked firmware with a screenreader. I would even donate lots of money to the guy who could make that. that would open up a wholenew world. I don't see why it souldn't be possible to make when you can hook up a standard USB keyboard to the machine.
Well, that's my crazy thoughts. I hope people will chime in here with their thoughts.
Feel free to contact me privately if you have something in mind. If you do so, then please send me a mail instead of using the private message on the forum, since I don't check those very often.
