How to mirror iPhone, iPod touch display to your TV or LCD display!

Including me, world’s most of people’s one of favorite gadget is iPhone or iPod touch. I’m using a fourth generation 32GB iPod Touch which is my partner of many day to day activities. Yes there’s something called as iPad, but isn’t it too large to carry and I don’t feel it as comfortable in hands.

                One of the best features that iPad got is that video mirroring support. And the new iPhone 4S has got it too. But unfortunately Apple has not enabled that feature to old iPhones and iPod Touchs. So what is this feature actually does? As the word says its all about mirroring. That means you can see your iDevice right through your TV or LCD monitor. That means you can play your favorite games through your large displays with the accelometer sensors. If you use HD games, this is will same as a game console either. Like Xbox or PlayStation. Let’s see how to proceed….

You want these –

1)      A jailbreaked iDevice

2)      A working internet or wifi connection

3)      Apple TV out composite cable or Apple HDMI cable ( HDMI cable is the best )

4)      Willingness of making creative prospects :P

So this is the step you have to make it real –

1)      Jailbreak your iDevice if it has got no jailbreak treatment yet

2)      Open  “Cydia” app

3)      In the bottom line tap on the “Manage” icon

4)      Then your screen will show 3 tabs. Select “Sources” tab.

5)      Then on the next screen top right, tap on “Edit” and then it will show a “Add” button on top left corner. Tap it too..

6)      Then it will give you a text box to enter a URL. There type http://sinfuliphonerepo.com/ and tap on “Add Source button. It will ask you to confirm it as it’s a illegal source. That means most of softwares from that source are cracked ones. Don’t afraid. Just say yes. And it will download some data.

7)      Return back to Cydia again ( Tap bottom left corner )

8)      Go to search screen ( Tap on “Search” on bottom panel )

9)      Search for “DisplayOut  Cracked” and install it! 

1         Search for “LsRotator” and install it.

11)   Activate LsRotator ( It will make your iphone display landscape mode.

12)   Connect the TV out cable to TV or HDMI to TV or either to your LCD display

13)   Enjoy :D

It’s better using a HDMI cable. Otherwise you will see pixels on the large display. Play HD games and HD videos… You are free! :D

How to downgrade Apple iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 4.3.3 without any SHSH Blobs!!

Hello there! How are you folks doing? I couldn’t update any post for a long time as I was busy with nothing but everything.. You know what I mean ;) Enough talking, let’s roll! :P

First thing I have to say is this thing worked me like a magic. You feel what I’m saying? Like a magic. I do have a iPod Touch 4G 32GB model. When I bought it came with iOS 4.2.1 ( Actually guy at the Apple store did it for me :D ) So I worked with it for a long time with no problems. One day device started to give me problems. Like there’s no icons for some apps but I can search them and use via the spotlight search. So I thought to put the iPod in to DFU ( Default Firmware Upgrade ) mode and restore it. Unfortunately I had no SHSH blobs saved and I had to upgrade to the latest firmware at that time which was iOS 4.3.5. So it gave me some weird time. Because I’m a jailbreak type person and I was fu*ked up with iOS 4.3.5 as it has no “untethered jailbreak” released yet. That means you can’t boot the device without a use of a computer.

But what to do? I had to rely on that iOS because I had no SHSH blobs saved for iOS 4.2.1. Time went, and iOS 5 released. I thought to upgrade to it and I remembered that I have to save all SHSH for iOS 4.3.5 in case of emergency. So I backed up SHSH blobs. And there are two SHSH saved. One is for iOS 4.3.5 and other is for iOS 4.3.3!!!! I still don’t know how did it happened because I never installed 4.3.3 in my iPod! However I have the both blobs in my computer now. And I was able to downgrade it to never installed iOS 4.3.3 even! The good thing in iOS 4.3.3 is it’s the last iOS that has a untethered jailbreak. That means you can switch on the device without any computer.

So I’m going to say how I did the thingy. I still don’t know how to explain the magic happened to me technologically. But I’ll tell you the steps I did. And It’s worth trying right? So try it, tell me your results.. Let’s go!

1. Go to Cydia and search for “iSHSHIT” and install. Save SHSH from that app, export those in to your mail account and download it in to your computer. Keep them aside safely.
2. Download and install Java runtime environment from http://www.oracle.com/ ( This needs to launch “TinyUmbrealla” software )
3. Download the latest version of TinyUmbrella.
4. Make a new folder, and copy all the stuff you downloaded including those SHSH files.
5. Connect your iDevice ( ex – iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad )
6. Close iTunes if it starts automatically
7. Launch TinyUmbrella. Don’t worry it will download some library files when you first launch it. So remember to keep your computer connected to the internet when you going to launch TinyUmbrella.
8. In the left panel click on your iDevice then go to the right side and click the buton “save SHSH”
9. Then it will take about some minutes and save all SHSH files. In my case it saved both SHSH files for iOS 4.3.5 and iOS 4.3.3. Just pray before you click on the button. I’m not kiddin this worked on me.
10. Download iOS 4.3.3 IPSW file. ( I found the direct download links from http://www.redmondpie.com/ you should go in and check in )
11. Open the TinyUmbrella again and select the SHSH file for iOS 4.3.3 and click on the button “Start TSS Server”
12. Put your iDevice in to DFU mode
13. Keep TinyUmbrella running background and open iTunes. It will say that iPod is in a recovery mode and should restore before you use it.
14. Holding the “SHIFT” button in your keyboard click on the button “Restore” in iTunes software. ( Holding “shift” will allow you to select previously downloaded iOS file. )
15. Let the iTunes to do the rest of the process.

My one restored and restarted with no errors. And now I’m in iOS 4.3.3 I don’t know what happened exactly. I can’t explain in technology. But it happened like a magic. Just give it a try. See ya later! :D

Compiling Objective C inside Linux Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal! ( Guide to Installing and working with GNUSTEP )

         As a very Apple addicted person I always wanted to learn developing iOS and Mac apps. When I got my first iPod touch last december I started to love it's operating system called iOS. And I was amazed by the iMacs and Macbook Pros in Apple stores but I couldn't buy one yet. You know, money matters :(   Even though I don't have a Mac to do iOS developing I wanted to do those stuff so badly. Objective C is used for that and I wanted to learn it so badly. But I couldn't as I had my high school exams. But finally last night i figured it out :D So if you are a person just like me, who have endless willings to learn iOS and Mac programming without a mac this is the place :)


            Objective C is used to make iOS and Mac apps. This language is derived from C language and this is a mid level object oriented programming language which was developed by Apple Inc. Prior experience with C++ or C will be a extra advantage. But it's not necessary. Objective C is currently compiled with xCode software in Mac Os X. But don't worry you can do it as this way too....   Okay let's get to work then.

You should have installed Linux ubuntu for this. I tried this via linux Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty Narwhal. But this should work with other versions too. Please kind enough to inform me if there's any problem with older versions. Well this guide consist of two steps. 1) Installing 2) Compiling ............. Let's do this :) Remember to enter your computer password whenever terminal requies it :D




         
                          Installing GNUSTEP in Ubuntu and getting it worked :)


1) Open the terminal. And enter below commands one by one. You should have a working internet connection dude :)

2) sudo apt-get -y install build-essential

3) sudo apt-get -y install gnustep

4) sudo apt-get install gobjc

5) sudo apt-get install gnustep-make

6) sudo apt-get install libgnustep-base-dev


Okay It's done.... Now you have successfully installed GNUSTEP in your computer. Well I know it took some long time to download it as it cost about 200MB :P But be happy you can run Objective C ! :D


               
                               Compiling a simple program with GNUSTEP !

1) Open the terminal.

2) Type gedit name.m

   Info - You should use the .m extension to compile Objective C programmes. If you use .txt it will be frikkin useless. And use your desired name in the "name" field. And use it by changing everywhere hereafter in my codes.


3) After you hit ENTER key after typing last code a Gedit text editor will be opened. As "Home" directory is the default in terminal this will be saved in "Home" directory...

4) Then type this simple sample code in that text editor. And then hit the " Save " button and close it ;)

 
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSLog (@"Objective C is great");
[pool drain];
return 0;
}

5) Now come back to the terminal and type-     . /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

   info - You should enter this code everytime you start a new terminal window. I know this is a disadvantage. But it does the job ;)


6) gcc `gnustep-config --objc-flags` -lgnustep-base name.m -o name

   info - Change the "name" field to the name of gedit file you created at first step!


7) ./name

   info - After hitting enter button you will get a phrase in the terminal saying " Objective C is great :D "

Congratulations dude,,,, You have just made your first effort a success in Objective C :)

AND FOR LEARNING OBJECTIVE C I recommend you the book " PROGRAMMIN IN OBJECTIVE C 2.0 by Stephen G. Kochan " .. I downloaded a copy from thepiratebay.org But I don't remember the link for that torrent. If you couldn't find any book and need a one so badly, just ask me and I'll upload it. :)



Any questions??? Feel free to ask ;)
