- Dralite, on 12/13/2007, -1/+45My friends didn't think that the iPhone could do it because of the choppiness of the photo app... they bet me $30... Being a nerd pays
- starkruzr, on 12/13/2007, -2/+23Another element of basic functionality added by the community in spite of Apple. Another item crossed off the list of reasons not to get an iPhone.
Way to go, folks. Cupertino should be cutting you guys paychecks. - redrighthand, on 12/13/2007, -0/+17Creative genius's like this will bring forth the full potential of the iPhone whether ATT/Apple wants it or not.
- lorductape, on 12/13/2007, -1/+17the app needs a zoom feature that you can use with the two-finger pinch
- damnyooneek, on 12/13/2007, -0/+13video recording is coming. all it takes is an update and its there. apple is slowly updating with new features to make it feel fresh every few months. its their method in marketing. by doing that it keeps the consumer from getting bored with their product.
- joeycerone, on 12/13/2007, -0/+13is the beta on installer yet?
if not, where can I find it? thanks. - haveacigar, on 12/13/2007, -0/+12Now all we need is bluetooth to be put right....
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -1/+9not on installer yet, but i love to see amateurs doing what jobs didn't.
- ColorBlind, on 12/13/2007, -1/+9When can i send/receive pictures and videos is the question?
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -0/+7you can send pics with the app called MMS in installer. no way to recieve them yet without the stupid viewmymessage.com or whatever. :(
- luchid, on 12/13/2007, -0/+6Yeah, writing an app on a new platform, with no documented framework or APIs (yet), that makes direct calls to the hardware, encodes videos and works fine is sooooo easy. It takes no talent at all. /sarcasm
Nobody said it was new to the cell phone industry, it's not. What's admirable is what these guys could do with no help, no documentation, no APIs, alone, on a few days. - dmunkey, on 12/13/2007, -0/+6this needs to get on installer, now'ish.
- method77, on 12/13/2007, -1/+6The article posted by the creators yesterday did not make the front page but the article posted by gizmodo today is on the front page. Hmmm...
Anyway, good job to those who made it
http://digg.com/apple/iPhone_Video_Recording_Break ... - dimplemonkey, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4just give me another reason why I love my iMistress!
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4If you can find a comprehensive guide, there's very little risk so long as you follow the directions and have a little bit of technical knowhow. Hell, lemme see if I can't find you one...If you're on 1.1.1, just go to jailbreakme.com, but if you're on 1.1.2...
"***REVISED*** FOR EVERYONE TRYING TO DOWNGRADE TO 1.1.1 FROM 1.1.2 USING WINDOWS:
1. Put your iPhone into DFU mode (With iTunes still open and the iPhone still connected, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the screen turns black. Once it does, let go of the Sleep/Wake button. Continue to hold the Home button until iTunes displays a popup about the iPhone being in recovery mode. Click OK.)
2. In iTunes hold the ***** key and click on ‘Restore’
3. Select the 1.1.1 firmware file and hit ‘OK’ (Download it here:http://www.hacktheiphone.com/112/iphone_firmware_u ...
4. After about 4 minutes you will get an error (That’s OK)
5. Close iTunes
6. Download iPhuc (Download it here: http://code.google.com/p/iphuc/)
7. Launch the iphuc.exe and type each of these commands on their own line and hit enter for each:
cmd setenv auto-boot true
cmd saveenv
cmd fsboot
exit
8. Wait a few seconds and your iPhone should be out of DFU mode and at the activation screen.
***If you have an AT&T activated sim card then goto to step 9a. If not then goto step 9b***
9a. Connect to iTunes and let your iPhone activate. If your AT&T service does not work that is ok
10a. Now add your WiFi network
11a. Launch Safari and type jailbreakme.com
12a. Now go straight to step 22
***Continue if you do not have an AT&T activated sim card***
9b. Slide to reach the emergency dial screen
10b. Enter *#307# and then press call
11b. Your phone will ring itself, press answer
12b. Press hold now and your phone will start ringing again
13b. Press Dismiss and your phone will go into the contacts/dial screen
14b. Press contacts from the bottom bar and add a contact
15b. Add a contact with a random name and homepage of: prefs://1f
16b. Save it and click on the link. This will take you straight into the settings menu of the iPhone
17b. Select ‘General’ and then select ‘Auto-lock’and hit ‘Never’
18b. Now go back and add your WiFi network
19b. Hit the home button and you will now be taken back to the emergency dial screen
20b. Repeat steps 10b-14b and now add another contact with a random name and a homepage of: jailbreakme.com
21b. Save it and click on the link. This will launch safari and take you to the appsnapp install page. Continue to step 22
22. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on ‘Install appsnapp’
23. After it installs you should have a jailbroken and activated phone with the installer.app
24. Launch installer and install ‘BSD Subsystem’ and then select the sources button at the bottom of the screen
25. Click on ‘Edit’ and then click on ‘Add’
26. Type ‘http://i.unlock.no’ the sources will refresh
27. Select the install button at the bottom of the screen and scroll down where it says ‘Unlocking Tools’
28. Now install ‘BB Downgrade’ to downgrade your 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 baseband
29. After it installs you have to re-flash the firmware for the changes to take affect. Repeat steps 1-5 above and then after
that proceed to step 30
30. So now you should have an iPhone that you downgraded to 1.1.1 from 1.1.2 and then installed appsnapp, installer, BSD
Subsystem, BB Downgrade and then re-flashed the firmware again to 1.1.1 and are now back to the activation screen
***If you have an AT&T activated sim card then goto to step 30a. If not then goto step 30b***
30a. iTunes should now activate your iPhone and your AT&T should now work
31a. Launch Safari and type jailbreakme.com and install appsnapp again. That’s it!
***Continue if you do not have an AT&T activated sim card***
30b. Repeat steps 9b-27 and then proceed to 31b
31b. Select and install anySIM and follow the instructions
32b. Restart your iPhone and that’s it!
NOTES: This is for those that want to downgrade there iPhone and baseband back to 1.1.1
This will not work with brand new out of the box iPhones that already come with firmware version 1.1.2
Sorry if the guide is a little confusing and jumps around a bit, just follow the steps!
If you restart for iPhone with 1.1.1 and have not yet downgraded your baseband then you iPhone will restart back into DFU mode"
You're welcome. - Eallan, on 12/13/2007, -1/+5I disagree. I'm terribly bored with mine :(
Finally jailbroke it because I wanted something new. - WiseWeasel, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4My guess is that 5 seconds of 2MP (HD) video at 10fps is about how much will fit into the free available memory on the iPhone, possibly uncompressed. Once you start compressing and paging to storage, things can get hairy. Regardless, 2MP video is very resource-intensive, so when you limit your capturing res to SD (640x480), you can bump up the FPS and duration with the same amount of resources. If they're going to be able to overcome the problems of real-time storage to flash while recording to RAM, and keep a smooth FPS and acceptable resolution remains to be seen.
- zweben, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4And since the camera is 2 megapixels, even though it would be using digital zoom, you wouldn't lose any image quality if the final video were being scaled down to 480p.
- StephenCIreland, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3file transfer and ill be happy, if someone can hack that menu to add it just below the "email photo" button
- darlyn, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3For a second there I almost said "WHERE'S THE IPOD TOUCH VERSION?!?!" ... *sigh*
- joerod, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3sweet!
- Ireland, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3http://www.monsterandfriends.com/
You're welcome ;) - mingistech, on 12/13/2007, -1/+4you can send MMS with the email app too... you don't need any 3pr party apps.
- luchid, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2I wonder if it has to do with the distribution model Apple will use. We still have to see what amount of access to the hardware Apple is willing to give developers. Will they support free apps to be downloaded through iTunes? Say the release iPhone 2.0 in March and video-recording ability and an iChat-esque app is added, will they allow free third-party competition (this program, and Apollo IM for instance) though the official distribution method?Of course we'll know this in a couple of months, but I hope Apple does the right thing and doesn't get too greedy and screw us in this matter.
- jarjarjared, on 12/13/2007, -1/+3That is David Bowie. I believe it comes off of the "A Reality Tour" DVD
- luchid, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2Boot camp is nothing more than a simple set-up wizard and boot manager. There's no novelty in that. Nothing was stolen. The moment Apple switched to intel architecture people knew they'd be able to boot windows on macs.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -2/+4*Watches ... everyone digg you down*
=D - virtualball, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2So wait. Apple developed software for their computers but the same thing was released a week or two before Apple did it and you think they stole it? Do you understand how much it takes to create software, compile drivers, package it, make the T&C, make the website, and more? That's not a week's amount of work.
- deadbaby, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2Open Source didn't invent EFI or EFI emulators to boot non-EFI aware operating systems.
- cgruber, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2and you never will.
- smoothlou, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2I would love to try this, but am I alone in being too scared to hack into my iPhone? I'm just holding my breath for some brilliant third party apps (like this one, the NES emulator, etc.) early next year.
- zeiben, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2Turn the "duh" slider down at least half way before hitting play
- MaverickC17, on 12/13/2007, -0/+2If you really want to have some fun with your iPhone, jailbreak it now! Mine has about every 3rd party app under the sun on it and it works flawlessly. My favs are gpSPhone, NES, and iPhysics.
Set it free!! - likwidfuzion, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1www.hacktheiphone.com
- davidrossiii, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1Well, maybe this will be a coming feature for the iPhone (Apple has said that they will be adding functionality to the iPhone in the future)
- jonathantneal, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1> By that logic, anyone who whips up a new replacement for Notepad.exe on your desktop should be labelled a 'creative genius'.
And right they should be! - phatvolvo, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1genii?
- zweben, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1So do these guys have some sort of pre-release access to the official iPhone API, or are they developing this on the hacked API, hoping that it'll work on the official one? I don't understand why anyone would be developing iPhone apps for the unofficial API so near the release of the real one.
- surfing, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1Enjoy your spam
- luchid, on 12/13/2007, -1/+2I'm sorry, I didn't know inanimate objects had sexual preferences. Oh wait, you think being gay is bad and demeaning, right? Ohh that makes your observation so much funnier! It almost reaches 3rd grade humor levels! Congratulations!
- inactive, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Hmm. I did some light internet searches, and from what it seems, the new out-of-box iphones have a new bootloader that basically screws you guys. I'll comment again if I find something, though. And that guide wasn't written by me, it was the product of two hours of google searching and ended up finding it in a comment from some obscure blogging website. Thought I'd spread the knowledge.
- innovaciones, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1The Gizmodo articles always goes to frontpage!
- Codee, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Silly how this feature isn't on the iPhone in the first place. Every other cell has a video/digital camera. Even the cheesiest ones.
- happyseamonster, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1The same way 60MPH for 10 miles does.
- smoothlou, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1thanks for the (extremely) comprehensive breakdown, unfortunately, I have an out-of-the-box 1.1.2 iPhone and I'm using a Mac. Still though, it's good to know that I was still able to follow your play-by-play. Maybe there's still hope for me after all.
- happyseamonster, on 12/13/2007, -1/+2Um, ben with vd... gay bashing is a sign of latent homosexuality. Just go for it, be yourself!
- StephenCIreland, on 12/20/2007, -0/+1bluetooth file transfer, like OBEX so i can send pictures to a non i-phone
- ZBrannigan, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1yea, lets just accept what the great overlords do. Thanks apple for sloooowly releasing new features so i wont get bored with my product, i am most grateful and not capable of of handling that
- likwidfuzion, on 12/13/2007, -0/+1Get Installer.app
- virtualball, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1If it compiles now, it will compile in two months. It's not like Apple will be switching to COBOL in February, they're just providing an "official" toolchain (compiler tools) in an easy package. It's the same thing, well Apple's will probably be more restricted but it will most likely be in xcode.
