so i just recently jailbroke my iphone 3G with os 3.0 and i was wondering what everyones favorite tweaks are using SSH....i already did silly things like changing all the audio notifications to custom sounds.
 
i did that...although i cant figure out how to create my own .png files for the bubbles. i had to use someone elses that that uploaded on a forum...but id rather try and make my own...i hope it doesnt involve any photoshop knowledge.
 
Well, you can SSH just about anything in or out

You can edit .js, .css and .plist files to make the phone do just about anything

Just be careful when you overwrite original system files, I would back them up before you overwrite them.
 
Can you do anything via SSH on a jailed phone other than manage photos and use general storage (which you can do in Windows anyway)??

WinSCP isn't even connecting to my non-jailbroken 3GS. Guessing I'd need to jb if I want to get in there and start tweaking files and such?

Wondering wich files to overwrite to chnage my notifications, new to ssh, so help would be awesome...:)
 
Yes, you cant use SSH unless your phone is jailbroken and you have installed OpenSSH thru Cydia.

What program do you guys use on your computer to ssh your phone? I downloaded Cyberduck to my Mac and synced with my phone with no problem. Now I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions before I jump in and mess anything up?
 
I often use ssh on my phone to log in to the central computer, reboot the security system that runs the electric fences and lock the doors before the velociraptors get in.

Ringtones!

You can download ringtones from your computer. I would use RealPlayer to get videos off of YouTube. To do this:

1.) Download ANYTHING you would like as a ringtone, make sure it can be changed to .m4a format.

2.) SSH into your phone via WinSCP or DiskAid, and travel to the Library->Ringtones directory.

3.)Change the file you want as your ringtone to the .m4a format, to do this, simply rename the file. If you can't rename the file, go to folder options and make sure that file extensions are shown.

4.)Simply clicky clicky, draggy draggy, and you have your new ringtone! :D
