Good to know it worked - but I've not tried it enough to test for push notifications. The ipad is on the hands of the owner playing bejewled 2 for the nth time today. When I can wrestle it away I'll try it out :). Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two things that don't work fully as it's not a universal app, but fingers crossed :).

Oddly enough, I got it working by not allowing Beejive to background and just closing it. If I have Backgounding enabled for Beejive all I get is the number notification without a push pop-up. If I disable backgrounding for Beejive I get the push pop-up along with the number incrementing.

The native AIM client does both without issue. Hrmm

The way that I got around this was to install "Notifier" from Cydia. Now, whenever I get a background IM, an icon showing it pops up on the status bar. Very helpful!
 
For those that want to try it, I found the following approach worked well:

Install and launch iPhone Explorer.

Using iPhone Explorer, navigate to the app on the iPad - it will be under /var/mobile/Applications (you may need to change your root path). The folders under there will look like a load of hexidecimal numbers, but if you expand each one you'll see the name of the app in there somewhere. You then look for the Info.plist file within the specific app directory and drag it to your desktop. You then need to edit the binary Info.plist file. I find it easier to do in a text editor so first convert it to text (via command line - cd to Desktop):

plutil -convert xml1 Info.plist

Edit it using your favourite text editor.

Add the following to the bottom of the file but BEFORE the </dict> line.

<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
<array>
<integer>1</integer>
<integer>2</integer>
</array>

Convert it back to binary

plutil -convert binary1 Info.plist

Drag the file back to the same folder on the iPad. You can simply drag the file from Finder into iPhone Explorer.

I found that I had to do a reboot of the iPad before the changes came through, but so far it works very nicely.

Combined with Backgrounder, the functionality of the thing has increased substantially :).

Does not work for Skype.
 
So who's testing out how many apps they can have open at once? My iPhone is at 12 (including stock apps) and is barely stuttering. I may be mean and open up NOVA though, haha.
 
for anyone that is interested in getting aim to work with notifier the BundleIdentifier is com.aol.aim.bachman
 
Had to restore because appsyncn3.2 via hacckulo.us repo screwed everything up and made it look like an iphone.

What's the best way to get that thing where I can pinch out to see all my pages? Used to have it on my phone.
 
hmm i seem to be missing the wifi icon on my iPad not a big deal because wifi is still on but is anyone else having this issue?

It's called overboard, and I can't for the life of me get it to download.

You wouldn't happen to know what the BundleIdentifier is for Meebo, would you?

(edit: looks like it can be found in the Info.plist... I'll check it.... com.meebo.Meebo it is)
 
Could I finally hook up my bb 9700 to a jb iPad and use the 3G connection? Anybody have any info?

I would like to know this as well. Is there a software on Cydia that can connect to BB 3G connection maybe via Bluetooth and use it as Wifi Hotspot?
 
Oh this sucks.

I decided to restore my iPad just an hour ago and try to use Spirit again to JB but Spirit just keeps waiting for my to connect the device; of course with the iPad being connected...

...did I just "F" things up?

Any help is seriously appreciated.
