Jailbreak |
What you should do if you want to Jailbreak your iPhone ?
Step 0 – Preparation
There are many jailbreak tools / step-by-step guide over the internet. And “Blackra1n” is claimed to be the most simplest one. The latest version may be used for both jailbreak and unlock your device.
Besides take up these, you probably need a decent FTP client on the desktop that support file transfer over SSH. For Windows user, WinSCP is a very good choice.
Don’t forget to backup everything on your device before running Blackra1n. From my experience, you don’t need to restore to the factory settings before jailbreak, which preserve most of the existing stuffs, including contacts, photos and videos .. etc.
Step 1 – Jailbreak
Since Blackra1n is so simple and there are many places you can found the instruction. So, try google it. Or take a look for this blog posts. Note that there are reported case that Icy doesn’t not work well with Blackra1n.
Step 2 – Post Jailbreak Tasks
The first thing you need to do after jailbreak may be to verify if anything missing. Or else, goto install Cydia directly. With Cydia, you are able to enjoy the unleashed power of your iPhone.
Here are some must-have applications to download :
Openssh
Mobileterminal
Appcake
Installous
SBSettings
Safari Download Plugin (or download Safari Download Manager via Appcake / Installous).
iFile
And before dive deep into the JB world, you should take care of the security control properly. At least reset those default shell a/c, including root and mobile. Details instruction can be found here.
Step 3 – Fix a few things …
Note that Blackra1n does not come with afc2 .. mmm, which means you can’t use most file browser client, e.g. DiskAid, iPhoneBrowser … etc. Follow the instruction here to fix it.
You need to get familiar yourself with the file system structure. At least remember a few file paths, e.g.
Installous
/var/mobile/Library/Downloads
AppCake
/var/mobile/Media/AppCake/Upload

==================
搞年宵有辦法
2009年10月28日
唔少年輕人視每年?年宵為搵錢?機會，實現自己?創業夢，其實擺年宵學?做生意，
同吸收多?社會經驗咪話唔盞，但搞年宵要點入手？諗起真係幾頭痕。不過，?緊香
港蜆殼同香港青年協會合辦?「創業奇兵之營宵有道獎勵計劃」就可以幫到你，計劃
除?會幫參加者做足宣傳之外，更有專人教授經營策略，做得好?仲有獎金，好似
Leon上年就憑住計劃參加年宵，贏?公開組?冠軍，?到 1萬蚊獎金。
Leon年頭?維園搞年宵檔，一連 6日賣牛帽、牛咕臣成功賺到 5萬，佢同我發錢韓
講：「參加『創業奇兵之營宵有道獎勵計劃』，真係有幫助，有專人教我控制成
本、點分配員工等，佢?仲會搞新聞發布會，吸引到好多媒體?做訪問，有宣傳差好
遠，?客預先?報紙雜誌睇過你件產品，覺得夠 hit夠潮，到時行年宵，對你件貨有 印象，買?機會高好多。」
免費宣傳兼教攤位管理
為?應節，????屆年宵主力賣牛帽同牛咕𠱸，雖然我?大陸入貨，但都可以要求廠商 改設計，好似頂帽由淨色改做有斑點。
香港青年協會?青年就業課程主任張先生話，計劃係第四次舉辦，目的主要想鼓勵年
輕人參加年宵，畀機會佢?為將來創業小試牛刀。「呢個計劃除?會?奧海城開記者
會，幫參加者做宣傳，仲有免費工作坊去教佢?營運技巧，例如攤位管理，好似年宵
要每晚埋數，後生仔冇經驗，條數通常唔?，最好有 2個人負責同一樣工作，減少出
錯機會。」計劃免費，分中學組及公開組，會以參賽者?銷售策略、人手管理同財政
狀況?作評分，好似 Leon咁，佢用游擊戰術， 3人一組?檔口附近 sell客，成功賺
錢，所以贏?公開組冠軍。每組有 1個大獎、 1個創意產品大獎同 4個優異獎，贏到 就可以分別有$10,000、$8,000同$2,000?獎金。
離年宵仲有 3個幾月，但𠵱家已經要開始做準備，張生就畀貼士想參加?朋友仔，
「?緊年宵係 2月 8至 14號，所以唔只虎年產品，情人節產品都一定有得做。」年
宵係年輕人創業?好試點，有人教你營運技巧，仲有機會?到獎金，快?參加啦！
創業奇兵之營宵有道獎勵計劃
名額：無限
報名日期： 10月 29日至 12月 15日
參加資格：已競投維園、旺角花墟球場、荃灣或元朗乾貨攤位、 15至 30歲?年輕人
網址： http://yen.hkfyg.org.hk/yen/index.php
乾貨攤位冇加價
Leon話：「報紙雖然話年宵攤位底價升? 2成，年輕人唔使驚，底價勁升?係快餐檔
位，一般年輕人創業都會租乾貨攤位，底價其實同上年差唔多。另外，?大陸入貨?
人要注意，運費固然一定要畀，亦要留意?貨唔好太早運?香港，貨物到香港之後要
另外搵儲存點，同年宵檔距離遠?話，又要再畀運費，又要畀倉租，咁樣會增加好多
成本，年宵前一日?到貨就最?。」投?檔位先可以參加計劃， 10月 28號開始可以投
年宵攤位，唔同地區年宵攤位都有唔同特性，以下資料可作參考。投攤參考網 址： http://www.fehd.gov.hk
iTunes U
2009/10/10
I think it’s the most amazing stuff happened after MIT
OpenCourseWare. You are now able to access the presentations made in those top universities from your iPhone. Of course you may already done that before via YouTube. But Apple is putting the things in a more organized way (or more rigid) with iTunes Store.
Here is the one I just watched on my way to campus.

PDF Viewer on iPhone
2009/10/02
Try to find out an iPhone app (free) that able to view large PDF (say >50MB) smooth and fast …
And it seems that only Aji can handle the size, but not speed for File lite (which crash when exceed a certain limit). Nothing good compare to Foxit on WM6.
Detail testing log :
DiskAid / FTPAid
> PDF viewing performance sucks
> For DiskAid, it access via USD. Need to install the server component on your PC first
> For JB phone, DiskAid may even help navigate over the device ..
Documents
> PDF viewing performance sucks
> WebDAV not supported
Discover
> Nice UI on PC side but problem during Upload
> Known issue with large PDF file
File lite
> Via WebDAV
> cap at 200MB
Dropbox
> Need to register the Dropbox a/c first
> Need to install the server component on your PC first
> Uploading performance sucks causes it requires to access an extra web server connection ..
Mobile Disk
> Require MobileMe account
Aji Reader
> Dedicated for PDF files only
> Need to install the server component on your PC first
> Seems that it’s the only free app that works with PDF files > 50MB
Facebook App…
2008/06/09
Just got my google app engine account ready. Want to have a try with it, say create one or two facebook apps. It seems that as it become much easier for people to create gadget or application on these open platform, it is also more difficult to raise your application’s popularity. And people become more demanding when choose these application, UI, services, latest update … etc. These minor things do make different.
By the way, do you have any idea on how to utilize these open resource ? Please left a word.
Mobile Internet … now Covers the Sky
2007/12/07
The development of wireless access to internet is hot. We got various Wifi technology (a/b/g … n) , 3G, HDPSA and even WiMax. And we even have some companies biding for the wave spectrum to support access in air.
On the other hand, we have plenties fancy handheld gadget released every months, Sony UX-50, Samsung Q1 Asus Eee PC. The temperature is even higher when Apple is joining the mobile phone market. You know what, the 3G enabled iPhone will be released in 2008. Besides, the internet giant Google also took several moves this year: (1) announce Android with tens of major telecoms / phone manufacturer; (2) bid for wireless spectrum in US; (3) various enhancement released for its unique Google Map platform.
When all these joined up, people’s life will change sooner that what we can imagine. What we can do in front the computer today, someone may do anytime / anywhere with the handheld gadget soon. The first move, is the email communicaton with BlackBerry (years ago), then, TV entertainment. And what’s next ?

Facebook Apps Wanted !
2007/10/11
Facebook 從不知名的渠道入侵香港，近期大熱非常。而 Facebook 的 Developer Platform 又好似幾得意。不過大量的 Apps 真係好煩，尤其 Apps 之間的兼容性極低，有違 Web 2.0 的精神。好果可以將不同的 Apps 自由組合起來，應會更好玩。
以下是一些異想天開的想法:
- Wall Integrated : Wall / SuperWall / FunWall … 真係有好鬼多，如果可以結合為一個，你話幾好，唔使咁煩
- Blog Integrated : 好多人都有寫 blog 但係又必都可以直接搜入 Facebook ，如果可以的話，你話 …
- Photo Integrated : 我自己就己經有好多網上相簿，其實唔係好想係 Facebook 又開多個。但佢果個可以 Tag 的 feature 其他地方又冇喎，如果可以 Tag 到 Facebok 以外的相，你話 …
- Bookmark Integrated : 如果可以將甚麼 del.ico.us, blogmarks, clipmarks, blinklist, dingo … 結合一齊的話 …
正所謂 “分久必合，合久必分” …
Update : 原來 WordPress Facebook App 真係有架。
