If you’re fed up with waiting for the official Netflix app to make it to your iPhone, here’s a way you can hack the Netflix iPad app to work on your jailbroken iPhone.
The process is fairly simple but takes a bit of work. In a nutshell, you’re going to be downloading the iPad version of the Netflix application and manually copying it to your iPhone. Check out the video and step-by-step written instructions below.
Right click on the Netflix app you just downloaded and select ‘Show in Windows Explorer’ if you’re on a PC, or ‘Show in Finder’ if you’re on a Mac.
Rename Netflix 1.0.4.ipa to Netflix 1.0.4.zip and extract the zip file to your desktop.
Look for the Payload folder inside the extracted folder. Inthere you will find the Netflix.app folder.
SSH into your iPhone and copy the Netflix.app folder to either /Applications/ or /private/var/stash/Applications/.
Change the permission on the Netflix.app folder to 755.
Reboot your iPhone.
Now go to the App Store from your iPhone and download a non-Safari browser with identification options, such as Atomic Web ($0.99) or Perfect Browser ($1.99). In Atomic Web, go to Settings and select Safari – iPad under Identify Browser As. In Perfect Browser, go to Settings and select Safari iPad under Desktop Rendering.
Still in Atomic Web or Perfect Browser, navigate to Netflix.com, login, and find a movie to watch instantly. Perfect Browser will close and Netflix.app will start playing your movie.
By clicking Jailbreak it will contact the server to download the needed file and Cydia will be installed after it is done! Pretty simple right?
If the server is busy, I have uploaded the jailbreak apps on my server hoping to alleviate stress on the Dev-Team’s servers. You will need to click on the following links below on your iPhone or iPod.
Are you having speed issues on your iPhone 3G after updating to the latest iOS? Comex of the iPhone Dev Team suggested that turning off the Spotlight feature should improve the speed of your phone.
1. Run the TinyUmbrella. (Mac users: Copy the app to your desktop or you’ll get repeating password prompts if you ran the app from within the DMG).
2. Now Connect your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, 3G, iPod Touch 3G or iPod Touch 2G or iPad to your computer
3. Now Simply Hit the Save My SHSH button and TinyUmbrella will grab SHSH blobs of the latest firmware for the connected device. This will also generate a ticket to save SHSH blobs to Saurik’s server.
You have secured your future jailbreak by saving SHSH blobs for iOS 4 using TinyUmbrella. You can find the saved SHSH file under:
Flash! On the iPad! And you can do it right now! Well, if you have a jailbroken iPad. The process doesn’t seem that hard but you can definitely muck things up if you poke your finger in the wrong spot.
The general gist on getting Flash on the iPad is to download and install ‘Frash.deb’ onto your iPad and then create folders with specific names while sprinkling in some restarts. Yeah, it’s not super simple and you could run into some snags but if you follow the directions to the T, you should be okay. Hopefully.
Unfortunately, Frash doesn’t do video playback and it’s kind of crashy so it may not be worth the risk yet. For now, you can just play Flash games, see some light animations, and drain your battery super fast. That kind of sounds fun, actually. [Engadget]
If you’re upset that your iPhone 3G is missing the coolest features of iOS 4—namely multitasking, screen orientation lock, and background wallpapers—you’re one quick and simple jailbreak away from enabling them. Here’s how it works.
Note: When iPhone 3G owners upgraded to iOS 4, a lot of us were faced with significant slowdowns and decided to downgrade back to 3.1.3. In the comments of our guide to downgrading, several 3G owners, however, noted that they were perfectly happy with the upgrade on their 3G phones—some even claiming it was faster. If you’re in that boat, and want to see how your device fares with multitasking, screen orientation lock (this feature and the new music player shortcuts are bundled into the multitasking app switcher—just swipe to the left), and background wallpapers, the process is relatively simple.
