I found an article online that allows me to install it by adjusting a .plist to say that it's 5.1. However it doesn't work. iPhoto just crashes.
i would think xcode would be needed to alter

There are new APIs used in iPhoto that are not available in pre 5.1 releases.
This is maybe a little silly, but I tried deleting all my photos and the app didnt crash.
Of course, not having any photo to edit it didnt go anywhere, but maybe this info helps, the crash happens when importing the camera folder.
:/
Forgot to mention, 3Gs with iOS5.01 here.
Found a couple of solutions from the Apple Discussion Forum and other websites; see if that helps: Run iPhoto on iOS 5.0.1.
By the way, I haven't updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1 firmware because there's no jailbreak available.
I love the 1st paragraph
Note: We havent tested these methods yet, and these solutions come from the Apple Discussion Forum and other websites (linked below). Please be careful while implementing these workarounds.
why wouldn't you test it before putting up a article about how to do it!![]()
A tweak was just released on Cydia called iPhoto501Fix that enables iPhoto to work on 5.0.1 without crashing. You'll still have to spoof your FW version to 5.1 to install iPhoto first then install the iPhoto501Fix. Everything seems to work fine. I ran through all the settings and menus I could and no crashes.
I tested this on an iPhone 4 and I noted that whenever a new photo is added to any album or the camera roll, it does some "Updating Photo Library" upon relaunching iPhoto that takes a few minutes to finish. I don't have any devices running FW 5.1 for real so I don't know if that's the normal behavior of the app anyways.
Use iFile to edit the SystemVersion.plist located in /System/Library/CoreServices. Edit the Product Version line to be 5.1.How do you spoof your FW version to 5.1?

Hi guys,
Do we first need to edit the plist files to download iPhoto? Then go to cydia and download that iPhoto5.0.1 fix?
Thanks!
yes, you need to edit the plist before you can download it in the app store.
then go to cydia and download the fix. then open the app. done
I didn't have to. I downloaded the app, then installed the tweak and it worked fine. Didn't have to edit the plist.
