Questions about 1.1.2 jailbreak

[thedrive]

Hi, i was just wondering if it would be possible to jailbreak without downgrading? or if its possible to install iphone apps with no jailbreak? or finally if theres a way to hide installer.app from the menu if you are jailbroken (so it looks nicer)?

thanks

To the first: No. Apple has fixed that little quirk that allowed the Touch to be jailbroken in the first place in version 1.1.2.

2nd: No. Since jailbreaking enables read/write access to the filesystem, you must jailbreak in order to be able to write files (and add programs) to the Touch.

3rd: Not that I know of.

you can easily hide applications using the customize.app

I'll answer all of your questions...

1. Give it some time for the automatic 1.1.2 Jailbreak. As people said about the iPhone 1.1.1, something will eventually come up.

2. No, but once again, maybe in February with the new SDK Kit coming out, maybe Apple will start the "App Shop"

3. Yes, in numerous numbers of ways. I used iOrder (nifty little program to order your Apps in the order YOU want and automatically uploads it to your iPod. Here's the link: http://iorderapp.googlepages.com/)

Any other questions or concerns? I've already "updated" to my new 1.1.2 Jailbroken iPod touch.

ok thanks! also, is there a way to save your bookmarks, contacts, etc. before downgrading to save them after it is jailbroken?

thanks again

It seems like the Iphone apps needed a new version to work on a jailbroken 1.1.2 (thanks to repo.us.to to making those available).

Do any of the other apps need to be updated to make them work with 1.1.2 or is it only the Iphone apps that need to be a new version?

Thanks
