@MattGTO Yes it had multi touch support I believe. There was a music option but I never got it to work.

I got skankphone.app to appear on the homescreen as an icon. It launches, and shows a full size picture of its icon...quite an interesting photo... and then exits back to the homescreen. I'm working on posting photos. This is an iPhone 3G btw.
EDIT: Here are the links to the photos. If anyone has any suggestions, im opening to trying more.

What I've tried:
-Copying Skankphone.app to Application directory
-Copying entire AppleInternals Folder onto root of device
-Putting the skankphone and purpltstr launchdaemons in the launchdaemon folder
Thoughts:
-possibly a date lock?
-hardware ID / firmware check?
-#1 thought...It can't run on top of springboard. it has to be started instead, i dont know how to do this and im not sure how to try without risking the phone. But i did get the skankphone application on the springboard and successfully launched it to an icon screen. Im thinking that the screen that opens is only there to demonstrate that the app tried to open on springboard. I believe it closes purposefully, not crashes. Based on what I've been watching. Email me if you have any suggestions or thoughts. Brendan09 -at- gmail
yea thats what i did to get it too launch, it still crashes after it opens and shows that screen.
-I placed those files where i mentioned in my previous post,
-resprung the springboard
-put in the launch daemon files
-resprung
-restarted phone
After all that, it had an icon on the home screen. Still havent gotten to open the actual skankphone interface though.
I'm trying to get the SkankPhone app run on my 2.2 phone right now - anyone has idea how to wrap this back up and turn into .ipsw that could be restored into an 2G iPhone (albeit pwned)
I have a spare one around for testing...
Looking at the dates in the fake-sync playback files, it's from 2006-09-06 - I have no idea if that's June or September 🙂
SkankPhone doesn't show up on springboard and when trying to run it manually as root, it crashes and leaves just "Killed" as output.
Has anyone tried getting this software to load in the iPhone simulator with the development kit? surely thats a little easier than trying to troubleshoot it and restore it onto a real phone... and then everyone can download it and play around with it.

wow haha someone call him!
the 6302175872 number is an illinois-based AT&T number..
That's interesting.
The 630 number is my brothers number, please don't call him. In fact if you could edit out the number please do. When I was trying out the phone I texted him the test messages.
The Texas number I don't know. I also wouldn't call or harass this guy either.🙂
and (512)372-5891 is based out of texas.
backtracking, that's actually a landline. apparently it links to SBC.
If I recall correctly, the phones came from a Texas electronics store, so they probably tried it out...
makes sense!
this is still so bizarre. haha
