Hi, could you please be a little more specific as to what your problem is so that we can offer some help? I viewed another thread of yours regarding some trouble you're having and the error you are recieving is synonomous with an Installer with an out of date Community Sources. Thats not an error on my Source's part, and its no reason to restore your phone.

I'm afraid that you're jumping the gun here because you're new to the modding scene, so just take a step back and slow down. We might be able to save you some time restoring that way.

@Iman

Well, I know the fixes on my Source work because I've seen successful reports of people doing this fix manually on their own through the Terminal. I haven't seen such positive reports for iLog however. Much like Customize theres a few "it works for me!" posts amongst a sea of "didn't work for me" posts. I would sincerely like to avoid posting a fix that is hit-or-miss for users, I'd prefer everything works as intended.

If you would like to have a go trying to get this "fix" done through my source, PM me all the links to posts with Terminal commands that are known to get it working and I'll put up a Beta Source for you to test on.

@Tundra

Its no problem making requests, thats how things get done! Regarding your issue with MobileFinder, what seems to be the problem? I'm going to preemptively answer my own question just incase this is your problem. If you find that you can't alter files its most likely because the permissions on the file you're attempting to alter does not allow any rights to the user "root."

I find myself jumping in and out of Terminal on the iPhone doing /bin/chmod and /bin/chown quite a bit right now to get around this issue. I'm not sure theres another way of doing it without a full on application update with the user "mobile."

I mainly use mobilefinder to delete some customize addons and for other reasons. but it no longer allows file deletion. i am sure this has something to do with permissions seeing it worked fine with 1.1.2 and 1.1.2

Thats understandable 999, i'll try it sometime soon. The only reason i didn't do it myself was because when i downloaded terminal it didn't work for me...asked me for my password or something (that was after downloading the fix for it). If you know what my password would be? I saw somewhere that it could be something like alpine?

Oh any chance you knew why i had no sound in TTR? I used your fix and installed your theme as well and it works great, but i have no sound haha.

Thanks for your help so far.

First i just want to say thanks x999x for the useful themes and fixes.

So, everything i downloaded from your source works perfectly except the iAppaDay Wallpaper fix. After i installed it the wallpapers would not save to my wallpaper library or my camera roll. I tried uninstalling the fix, and it set the permissions back to 0755, but would not actually uninstall. Instead i got the "Main Script Execution Failed" error.

I don't think it matters, but i performed the "save to wallpaper library" fix(changed permissions to 0777) with WinSCP about a week ago and the wallpapers were saving to my library just fine. Then today i discovered your fix and installed it because i want to be able to save to my camera roll as well. Do you think that installing your fix after i had already set the permissions caused the problem?

Either way, I hope you can help me get it working. The best part about the Wallpaper app is being able to save the ones you want. Please let me know what you think...

P.S. if you look at the "Manually Uninstall" thread, i explained all the details of the problem

Did it always "not" have sound? I'm not doing anything extraordinary wiht my fix, simply giving the folder the application stores its files in a permission of 777 so the app can view the files as a different user.

Try inserting and removing your headphones. Launch iTunes and turn up the volume, then launch TTR again. Worth a shot, but typically, sound not working after a jailbreak usually requires another jailbreak to sort things out :T

Also, your password is alpine, however it won't work without the SUID fix for Vterm. I believe you can find it under Tweaks. Without the fix you'll be told your password is incorrect even though its valid.

lman · 02-25-2008, 05:21 PM

As for TTR, its the only thing that doesn't have sound. All the other apps that i have downloaded after jailbreaking work perfectly with regard to sound. I never did have sound, but before your fix it didn't even work, i couldn't download the sonds...Now i can download the songs and play them, there is just no sound...

Thanks for the info on the terminal fix though, i'll try that out soon

thanks

Okay, this *may* be the issue: TTR is running under Mobile and saving its downloaded tracks as Root. Try uninstalling the TTR fix and reinstalling it. I do a -R to recursively apply +777 to all files inside of /var/root/Media/TTR. Reinstalling will apply the 777 permissions to your newly downloaded files that may have lower settings.

Let me know if this works. If not, try reinstalling TTR as well, (uninstall my mod and fix first).

Thanks for posting, I will definitely look in to this. This is the second report of an issue with saving to the Wallpaper Library.

I will also check why you recieved the error when you uinstalled the script, I just now tried uninstalling mine and it worked without any error. You're the first to report of the error so I'm hoping it's an isolated incident.

If you're saavy with WinSCP/CyberDuck, could you please tell me who the owner is of these folders?

/var/mobile/Media/DCIM

/Library/Wallpaper

If it's 501 that would be "mobile" if it's 0 that would be "root." I believe 501 owns both of my folders, if this is not the case for you, I may need to add a /bin/chown to the installer script to change the folder owner.

Thanks!

Hope you like the new stuff, and if you have any requests just post em!

I'd really like to flesh out the Wallpaper section of my source, let me know if theres anything you'd like to see added.
