when will a gui be made?

2 Yownanymous 08.18.09 at 11:44 am

Just get 7-zip. It’s free, and opens most kinds of archives (including tars, rars, zips and its own 7z format).

make a gui this is kinda useless;)

So does that mean theres a possibility that my iPhone can go into Kernel Panic (lmao)? (Oh and does this work on iPod Touch?)

Fuck yeah, now it’s only a matter of months before others join in, and add touchscreen, radio, wifi, OnScreen Keyboards, and even some desktop environments.

(Hey, just look at the G1- it has em. But it had a head start with being based on linux; Now that the iPhone successfully boots a linux kernel? Watch out :)

9 iPhonetouchmaster 09.04.09 at 9:25 am

Well it’s basically free. All you have to do is click canel when it tells you to buy the full version. Lol. It’s so stupid.

WinRAR is not free ;P But it’s awesome! (oh and it’s trial never ends so practically it IS free XD)

You could just simply restore your iPod touch via DFU mode.

Cool. Just be careful because you are directy communicating with the hardware. :) Have Fun.

16 1videoaday 09.18.09 at 11:41 pm

thats awesome. i probably going to download it!

17 iPhonetouchmaster 09.21.09 at 5:02 pm

Well, you now have complete control of the iPhone. The hardware is yours to mess with if you are a developer.

18 1videoaday 09.24.09 at 10:36 am

other than running linux for the sake of running linux on a iphone. what can you do with it?

19 iPhonetouchmaster 09.27.09 at 7:17 am

If youare getting an iPod touch 1G then go ahead but if it’s an iPid touch 2G good luck trying this without full read/write. Access to the OS.

20 FruitRocks 09.29.09 at 12:33 pm

21 iPhonetouchmaster 10.01.09 at 2:49 am

Alright, thanks for telling me. Ill contact them. Ill try and get you a working link. Check back.

22 CrackBabyG 10.02.09 at 7:32 pm

on the iphone linux blog the download link isnt working

23 iPhonetouchmaster 10.06.09 at 3:19 am

he didn’t. He used a USB console on his Mac. He had it hooked up via USB cable and then he opened a shell on his Mac and run it, and it showed up on his iPhone. It’s quite complex, but it works.

Hey man, please subscribe, you’ll be the first! We are going to officially launch this YouTube channel on Monday!
