After successfully JB'ing my iPod Touch and spending far too much time troubleshooting and tracking down solutions to problems, I've decided to compile all of the tips and advice I've found both here and at ipodtouchfans into this thread, hopefully it'll help someone else! I don't take credit for this stuff, these are just answers to common problems that I've found to be effective. Enjoy!


Merging Video+Music icons
Download this file, unzip it and drop the Info.plist into /Applications/MobileMusicPlayer.app, overwriting the one that is there. You might want to back up the existing one, just in case. Respring, and you will have just the iPod app.

Now, if you want to change the wording when you double-tap the home button from "music" to "iPod" you can download this file and drop the enclosed file into /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj overwriting the file there. This file has all the other default strings so if you've changed them with Customize this file will change them back to original.


Installer crashes
After installing the latest update for installer.app you may find it crashing every time you try to install something, popping up a 'main script error' window. This is how I fixed it. Enter the following two commands in term-vt100 or in Terminal on your Mac (to use Terminal on your Mac, enter this command: "ssh root@YOURIPODSIPADDRESS" minus the quotation marks, of course, after which you will be prompted for the password "alpine")

chmod +s /Applications/Installer.app/Installer
chown -R root:wheel /Applications/Installer.app

After entering these two commands, installer.app should work fine!


TERM-VT100 password error
After doing a 1.1.3 JB you may find it impossible to use terminal on your iPod. The solution is simple. Go to installer and add the source www.trejan.com/irepo then find SUID Lib Fix and install that, then find Term-vt100 SUID Fix and install that. After restarting your iPod, terminal will work fine with the password "alpine".


Summerboard themes don't show up
The location of the themes has been changed with the latest version, and sources have to change where they download to. The old location was /private/var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes and the new location is /private/var/mobile/SummerBoard/Themes. If you SSH into your Touch, just move the Themes in the old location to the new one and they will show up.


Maps' Hybrid view doesn't work
Go to var/mobile/Library/Library/Caches/MapTiles and delete the file MapTiles.sqlitedb which is the cache for the maps app. The next time you launch Maps, hybrid view should work fine. Sometimes it doesn't start to work until after you have zoomed to the maximum level, after which it works at all zoom levels. An odd little bug.
 
i followed yr instructions and went into Terminal and did what u said, but i still can't install Summerboard 3.1-1 onto my Touch. it keeps telling me

ERROR
Package download failed!

any suggestions ? thanks

I am having this problem. When i try and ssh into my ipod from my mac i get this message.

It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is

It will not let me enter my password?
What am i doing wrong?

The problem is that your Mac has the old host key saved, and when you rejailbreoken and installed BSD, it generated a new one. You need to delete/change the old one. Its located in ~/.ssh/known_hosts (~ is the name of your home directory. I just deleted mine and it works fine, but that will delete any other host keys that may be stored in there.
 
Its located in ~/.ssh/known_hosts (~ is the name of your home directory. .

Alright thanks for the help. I am having some trouble finding this. Do i need to do this from the terminal, if so how?
Or how do i find it? I have looked all over and can not find those files.
Thanks
 
Great post, thanks for this!

Does this work with 1.1.2 as well?
 
Helpful Post

Great post, I'm sure many will benefit from this. That terminal fix was what I was waiting for; couldn't figure out why I couldn't use it.

Anyone have any tricks for getting Customize to work? I can open the app, but can't make any of my changes "stick." All I really want to do is change the "iPod" to the :apple: symbol (in the top left corner, where carrier icon is for iPhone), and I'd like to be able to adjust the number of items in my dock.

Thanks

Not sure about Customize (I use Poof to hide my apps with 1.1.3) but there's a new version of MakeItMine which is compatible with 1.1.3 ... At least that way you can change the carrier text (not graphic, though) ...

Well I figured out a way in which to change my carrier icon/graphic, but it didn't involve customize. I just went into the Core Services directory and changed my default icon to the :apple: symbol. Now I just need to figure out how to get another app to sit in my dock...I want 5 in the dock, this only 4 crap just looks bad to me. At this point that's really my only problem with 1.1.3, everything else I'm getting used to, and I don't miss 1.1.2 that much anymore.

care to post which directory exactly you went into to change this please?

thanks
 
well I cant get customize to work with the official dev team jailbreak but worked under ipodtouchmaster's jailbreak but with his jailbreak summerboard would say inactive so when switched to dev temas 1.1.3 I get summerboard but not a working customize
 
My problem is Installer crashing. Every time I open it it crashes momentarily. I can't install any software! It worked just fine, but something happened and when I downloaded some apps, it just downloaded them and when it gets to 'installing ...', Installer crashes and I'm back on the home screen. Now I can't even get to this! It crashes as soon as I open it...

I entered the two commands without a problem, no error message or anything, connected through ssh and so on... Still it keeps crashing! I can't even open it. :(
 
Just used the first item, merging the two icons to "iPod"

Worked great and was easy...thanks a lot!
 
Alright thanks for the help. I am having some trouble finding this. Do i need to do this from the terminal, if so how?
Or how do i find it? I have looked all over and can not find those files.
Thanks

Oops... forgot to mention that is a hidden folder. To view hidden files and folders, go to terminal and paste in:

Code:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

killall Finder


Then to revert back to normal, since it is annoying with all those extra folders, copy into terminal:

Code:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

killall Finder

I went into Core Services (hopefully you have found that directory/folder), then into the Springboard.app folder, and the two files you want to change are "Default_CARRIER_IPOD.png" and "FSO_CARRIER_IPOD.png"

I can't remember which is which, but one is the white "iPod", and the other the black. If you mess up, shouldn't be too big of a deal to correct your mistake.

Hope this helps.

I got the answer, I was using TextEdit instead of Property List Editor, but if I want to use the TextEdit I simply convert it from XML to plain text by issuing the following command :

Code:
plutil -convert xml1 filename.plist

and to convert it back use binary1 instead of xml1

Code:
plutil -convert binary1 filename.plist
 
"Summerboard themes don't show up
The location of the themes has been changed with the latest version, and sources have to change where they download to. The old location was /private/var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes and the new location is /private/var/mobile/SummerBoard/Themes. If you SSH into your Touch, just move the Themes in the old location to the new one and they will show up."


My problem is I can get as far as /private/var/mobile but after that there is no Summerboard folder even though I have it installed. Any ideas?
 
The Installer fix seems to kinda work...I can get much more to properly download and uninstall than before. However I'm still having issues with a few items not wanting to download, keep getting the "Main Script Execution Error."
