NOTE: Once again I must say that attempting to tamper with your iPhone could most definitely leave your iPhone beat, bruised and battered. But if you are okay with that then please proceed. If you are not okay with that then leave your poor little iPhone friend alone.

First…
Since this is a jailbreak you need to have a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone already. If you don’t have one already then read this post here. How to install 3rd party software to your iPhone

Once you have successfully downgraded your iPhone and then loaded the correct app loaders. Move on to the next step.

Jailbreaking 1.1.3

- Start with 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken iphone with the installer.app installed. You need at least 300MB of memory of Free Space
- Plug in your iPhone to you computer via USB cable.
- Download, extract, and run the iBrickr Special 1.1.3 jailbreak edition
- The iBrickr wizard will then tell you have on your iPhone and make sure that you can run this update.
- iBrickr will then show you thru the modifying of the 1.1.3 firmware. READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY
- THEN iBrickr will upload a firmware image to your iPhone. This is just a file on your phone so it does not actually modify your iPhone at all.
- It should take ABOUT 10 MINUTES. It will tell you to go to the installer and install the 1.1.3 soft upgrade package.

- The upgrade will stall about half way through. This is normal. Do not touch the phone and just let it do its thing. The installer should take another 10-15 minutes.

When your phone is done it should reboot and be active.

As some of you may know, the new OS Mac Leopard has lots of great new features that are helpful in many wonderful ways. But lets face it, some of us just like things the way they are. Mac OS’s come every couple of years and while the brilliant and diligently working programmers at Apple are creating the “Next Great Operating System” we normal non programmers are Finally getting used to our old Operating System. So how do you stay up to date with the new awesome Mac Operating Systems while holding on to the old school. Thats easy…. Use some of these Top 10 Leopard Hacks! Go ahead and upgrade to the new Mac OS 10.5, you can still have some of the things that you loved about Tiger OS. Top 10 Leopard Hacks Via LifeHacker and Other sites

1. Make the menubar opaque- Lots of Leopard users say the menu bars new transparency makes menu items difficult to read. To turn the menu bar opaque again (like it was in Tiger), download and run the free OpaqueMenuBar
2. Kill The Dock Reflection- If the new reflective dock is too distracting to you. Then turn it off using these terminal commands.

(via Wired, omit the $ prompt when you type them yourself): $ defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES $ killall Dock 3. Revert the Blue Dots to Tiger Black Triangles- Leopard uses blue dots to show open applications. Here is a quick way to change it back to Tiger’s black triangles. First, you need the triangle, of course. Download indicators.zip and unpack it on your Desktop. The files are:

• indicator_large.png (42 x 14 pixel)
• indicator_medium.png (32 x 11 pixel)
• indicator_small.png (14 x 8 pixel)

Why three of them? You will notice later that, unlike in previous versions of OS X, the size of the indicator in Leopard changes as you resize the Dock. You can try to use the medium size for all three to keep it from resizing, it’s up to you. Or you can create your own indicators, just make sure you keep the image sizes and names as listed above and make the background transparent. NOTE: messing around with root files is dangerous and if you do not know what you are doing itweaks.wordpress.com is not responsible for any damage to your system. Continue with this iTweak at your own risk. If you agree then read on. Close all applications and log out, then log in as Administrator (root). Navigate to /Users/<your_user_name>/Desktop. From there take the indicator files and move them to the Desktop in root. In Finder select your hard disk (Usually Macintosh HD), then /System/Library/CoreServices Right-click on Dock and select Show Package Contents. (If you don’t have this menu option, you will need to install Developer Tools.) Select Contents/Resources/ This is where you will find the original indicator files, rename them to something else – just in case (e.g. original_indicator_small.png). Now copy your three triangle indicator files into this folder. Reload the Dock (Ctrl + Option + right-click | Relaunch). If you still have any applications running, you may want to close and reopen them to update the indicator. Enjoy! (Hack #3:via SilverMac.com) 5. Add a Stack Of Recent Apps- We all know that when you are using your Mac that you can easily find yourself reaching for the same apps and files. In terminal add these following commands: $ defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add ‘{ “tile-data” = { “list-type” = 1; }; “tile-type” = “recents-tile”; }’ $ killall Dock. 6. Change Your Dock From 3d to 2d- For those of you that do not like the 3d dock or just want to have the option of changing your dock to a 2d image. Download Dock Doctor.

6. Zip Quick Look- Have you ever wondered “Man I hope this zip file does not corrupt my system” or “have I used this zip file before” well with this iTweak you can look in to the zip file just like you are vieweing a picture folder in Leopard. Zip.qlgenerator shows archived file list in Quick Look. 7. Time Machine Setup- If your Mac is slowing down due to frequent updates from time machine.
