Suggestions for the Next Whited00r Version / Re: Suggestions for Whited00r 8 - DISCUSSION THREAD

« on: March 02, 2016, 11:37:40 PM »

Welcome to the forums then!
That would require redoing the folders tweak, which while it is possible, probably won't happen for a while I'm afraid.
The notification center is quite easy to do for a basic one, and spotlight search is easy too. That's on the big to-do list we have

Yeah, the server it used went down ages ago so it no longer works. Voice control can't be ported because it requires a higher firmware than 3.1.3. (unless the iPhone 3GS had it on 3.1.3)
I'm not sure about the camera, have you tried it in safe mode to see if it is a tweak causing the issue?
That's a known folders issue and won't be fixed until we remake the folders tweak. (we don't have the source to it because it was done ages ago and never given to us)

Graphical issues will be addressed moreso after we port what we can from Grayd00r's UI tweak, because that handles things better
This also will be fixed after we port Grayd00r's lock screen plugin system. (which also allows for even cooler stuff)
Did you happen to disable the advanced options for "Homescreen snapshot" and "App snapshots"? (or something like that, it's been a while since I've used whited00r). Those are what make the snapshots, and it does include the homepage, or should when it works.

I think we should too, because while it makes a good first presentation visually, actually using it is not so nice. (some people like it though, which is why we have it)
Perhaps just hide it is better, in case for some reason people want to use it.
As for fixing it, I don't know if we can (same with most closed API things)

It depends on the usage of it, I'd need details on how to reproduce the bug.


It is possible, but it's not implemented. It's easy enough to hide them via file system editing.
Sadly we can't fix old apps that no longer work due to API changes server side, as that is closed source and we also don't have the time or resources to create/maintain a patch that may work, if it's even possible.

We don't have any betas at the moment, as we are working on Grayd00r for now

This was a very good post, thank you!

Huh. This answers most of my questions, thanks!

Exact events:
Open Notes
Open control center
change brightness
close control center
type about 7 or 8 letters
Notes crashes

Firmware news and updates / A post in this forum for you to read

« on: February 21, 2016, 05:05:33 AM »

There are no comments for this topic. Do you want to be the first?

Apparently so...

Well, I've tried Whited00r and since that's pretty awesome, and since I also have not one, but three iPod Touch 3Gs, I thought I might try this.

I'm not sure what you're intent with this post was, but I'm going to go ahead and report my bugs and suggestions here either ways to try and cover all grounds, so here goes.

Bugs:

The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.

-It won't let me register on the official forums to post about this, so that's lovely. Message above is what I get.
-When installing on a 32GB iPod Touch 3G, the device seems to have died. Asked Apple forums, but they're not sure what exactly happened, but maybe because I didn't mention that I had tried to install custom firmware on it? The device already had problems, so that's why it was the first to get this software. Device was fine until I was to restart it at the end of the Grayd00r Setup application on the device, in which case the device froze and went into a restart loop for a few hours until eventually it just went into a Recovery loop that redsn0w was unable to fix. As I said, the device was having it's share of issues and I think that this was just the straw that broke the camel's back in the sense that this device already had battery calibration and life issues, screen problems, button issues, charging problems, a bad internal speaker, and was much slower than the other devices despite multiple restores from both Recovery Mode and DFU / Pwnd DFU modes. It wouldn't even let me log into iMessage either, the best it ever got to was the App Store with my Apple ID. Mail didn't even work correctly. Oh well.
-WiFi still doesn't work for the iPod Touch 3G that had issues with it after installing iOS 5.0 anyways. Any plans to fix this or any issues like this?
-The iPad 1G I tested with (a friend's who heard about the Grayd00r project and had seen me with my Whited00r 7.1 iPhone 2G in the office) went into a temporary reboot loop after running setup. It eventually restored properly, but this seems to be a recurring issue with some issues. Any ideas about why or if it may eventually be fixed?

Suggestions
-The ability to charge with devices that iOS says Charging is not supported with this accessory.?
-Improve speed a bit, in the quick side-by-side test I preformed between my remaining two iPod Touch 3Gs, the iOS 5 device turned out to be significantly faster than the Grayd00r 9 device with "factory" settings, as in I didn't change any settings after installing it.
-Widgets for the Notification center? If I can't run this on my iPhone 3GS / iPod Touch 4G currently, I'd at least like to see this implemented, if only for the Weather widget.

In conclusion...
I'd absolutely love to see this succeed, and I would love even more to help it get there, but despite the fact I make small PC games, I don't think I'd be much help to any of you unless you can take BATCH / VBScript / Java programs as a contribution. Maybe I could do graphics? I've got access to every generation iPod Touch and iPhone up to the 4S / iPod Touch 4G, with some in multiples as mentioned earlier. Maybe I could help with bug testing and the menial tasks if you want me to?

If you decide to take any of my ideas or have anything to say about my post or it's contents, please do tell me so that next time I may be more helpful to others (possibly including anyone that ends up reading this post) in the future.

Suggestions for the Next Whited00r Version / Some Suggestions for future versions

« on: February 21, 2016, 04:31:19 AM »

Hello, I'm new here (but not to Whited00r) and I have a few suggestions here and there for you, and I have read the posting rules at the start of the thread and have tried my best to be as constructive and helpful as is humanly possible with my vocabulary, so here goes:

I'd like to request that folders be changed to look more like the quote-on-quote "Real" iOS 7/8/9 folders look like instead of the current iOS 4/5/6 look they have in Whited00r 7.1, the same goes for the Notes application. Maybe add some kind of Notifications center and / or a Spotlight search like in iOS 7 if possible, where you swipe down from the center of the screen to bring down the search bar?

The Siri clone (Sara) doesn't work at all on the iPhone 2G and wouldn't even launch on the iPhone 3G. Didn't try on the iPod Touch 1G/2G because neither have a microphone, so would you mind packaging something slightly better or somehow getting Voice Control from the iPhone 3GS / iPhone 4? The camera on the iPhone 2G is completely screwed up for both of my devices, the photos always turn out green and black (sometimes a bit of yellow but that's besides the point) and super grainy. Sometimes bookmarks won't go into folders, and sometimes all the icons won't fall all the way onto the home screen or leave a trail of sorts that goes between both pages of applications that I have.

There are a few debilitating and some just annoying graphical issues, such as how in the Contact application the borders for the photos don't work, as well as the fonts in some of the applications are just barely visible by their outline (such as song title in Music), making these apps difficult and in some cases impossible (or at least nearly so) to use properly or without too much trouble. The charging lock screen is also a bit screwed up, as well as the "slide to power off" slider when shutting the device down. The home screen photo doesn't show up in the App switcher for the home page, maybe you could add something that takes a temporary screenshot for this when you exit the application to enter the menu? Also could you disable round switches by default? It does seem to make devices quite slow, especially first generation devices (iPhone 2G and iPod Touch 1G).

If possible, since the YouTube app doesn't work anymore, could you either remove it or get it working again, even if you just hide the icon and add a Safari link instead, that would be perfect.

The control center is awesome, but it has in the past crashed some applications and even once sent an iPod Touch 2G into safe mode. Email me if you want more or full details, but I'll save that story for later.

Is it possible to let people choose what base apps they want to remove with some sort of menu or something? I'd like to know whether or not it's possible to change / hide the base iOS applications from view.

Finally, for my only (possibly difficult / impossible) true application request: Would it be possible to change the default Messages app to something else / get the old Skype versions working properly again? Maybe some sort of fix or replacement? I'd also like to see something like iFunBox incorporated be default if that's not too much to ask, and it seems pretty logical that you would add it at some point to me.

Whited00r Betas/Beta Testers?
Whited00r used to release betas to the public, but not anymore. Too many people skimmed over the very important word "beta" and just wanted the latest (and not always greatest) software from us. That lead to many forum posts and angry people when something didn't work, because they didn't realize or care it was beta and still a work in progress. None of them were helpful and constructive to towards debugging, and even when some users were, they were quickly buried by other people posting non-constructive things. This slowed down development quite a lot, and thus pushed back the official release, and ended up just angering the public and dropping down the reputation of whited00r's work by a lot.

Even though I did thoroughly read above, I'm still here to help if needed, I've got every iPhone generation up the the 4S, and the 2G in duplicates, as well as the iPod Touch 1G and two iPod Touch 2Gs. contact me if you need any help with anything hardware-related, I've got time and devices to waste if needed.

Sorry for the clearly (as I realize now) long post, but I do hope it wasn't too terribly full of errors and will be of some help in the construction of the new version of the I must say excellent Whited00r.

If you decide to take any of my ideas or have anything to say about my post or it's contents, please do tell me so that next time I may be more helpful to others (possibly including anyone that ends up reading this post) in the future.
