{{Talk Archive|2010|2011}}

Mediawiki has been upgraded to 1.17, post here if there are any problems. Thanks everyone for continuing to support this wiki, and thanks Dialexio and http for their excellent moderation(also props on the new table) --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 22:46, 15 July 2011 (MDT)
:The one on the right is a thing with mediawiki, it does the styles all on its own. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 22:47, 15 July 2011 (MDT)
A couple of things in general, I would really like to see higher quality content here, I wish http://iphonedevwiki.net/ would merge with us to get a good dev side of things. Also http://www.idroidproject.org/ could move here. This is a fairly reliable website that's been around since 2008. Tons of stuff should be filled out that isn't, stuff about all the sandboxing crap added to kernel...etc. If you know someone able to fill it out, poke and prod them to get them to do it. --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 23:01, 15 July 2011 (MDT)
:And little side matter, anyone feel like coming up with a better image than the iphone 2g in the upper left corner? --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 23:06, 15 July 2011 (MDT)

::I kindof did, here it is: [[:File:NewLogo.png]] I can create a new one with the iPhone wiki, but I think that is already there. As for the apple favico, could we use [[:File:Apple-logo.png]]? Convertico.com will create an ico file for you from a png--[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 23:29, 15 July 2011 (MDT)

== Table ==
Can we change it to a <code>class="wikitable"</code>? It looks MUCH nicer that way. --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 22:50, 15 July 2011 (MDT)

== [[iPhone Tracker]] ==

[[iPhone Tracker]]? --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 11:34, 9 September 2011 (MDT)

== Firmware folder structure ==

Does it make sense to recreate the iOS folder structure and list every file and subfolder of every iDevice ? I think it's allot of effort to maintain and with iOS 5 upcoming I also forsee numerous changes. Having different firmwares for the devices (2g 3.X, 3G 4.X, 3GS 5.X, ...) makes it even harder I think.
Just a thought.--[[User:M2m|M2m]] 21:00, 10 September 2011 (MDT)
:I'll second that (though I haven't seen iOS 5's guts yet). Some notable files (e.g.- [[:/private/etc/fstab]]) are all right though. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 22:30, 10 September 2011 (MDT)
:I agree. I also find it very annoying that many Apps' pages got moved to some strange page name, just to match some file structure. I would prefer to have the Apps under their original name. If a page for some file structure infos is really needed, then this might get added additionally to either the App's page or a separate page. And if all agree to this change, how should we do this transition in detail? Maybe a page [[File Structure]] with all aggregated infos or something like this? --[[User:Http|http]] 10:35, 11 September 2011 (MDT)
:I second that. Maybe just model it after ONE firmware: [[iOS]] 5.0 for the iPhone 5 when it comes out... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 13:34, 11 September 2011 (MDT)
:I would keep the filesystem structure (mixing contents from every version) but link to "file pages" with their canonical name: this way one can easily look up the purpose of a file/folder. (example: remove "iOS4+" from [[/private/var]]/Keybags, the power user working on a 3.x system won't find it on their device but will know that that folder has a specific purpose in "other" versions.) IMHO, the attempt to accurately describe the filesystem has historical and practical value for this wiki. --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 14:21, 13 September 2011 (MDT)

== Hackers ==

Just curious: why is posixninja not listed under the Hackers section on the front page? He's one of the main faces of the jailbreak scene now, and even though he hasn't made a whole lot of significant contributions like the group listed, I think he still deserves a spot on the front page. --[[User:Vexenon|Vexenon]]

== KBAGs ==

Hello, Liamchat! I noticed that you've been adding KBAGs to the key pages. I certainly appreciate the addition of such information, but just listing KBAGs without mentioning which file they're for isn't exactly helpful. Would you mind mentioning which file each KBAG is for? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 21:39, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
:i added them because i don't have those devices and i think it may help people get the key's if i add them however the exact is

== Ban liamchat request ==
There is a petition going on to ban liamchat from this wiki. I'm not sure how serious it is and nobody can vote for him there. So please comment here, pro and contra, preferrably with arguments. I think five users more against him with serious arguments would be enough. --[[User:Http|http]] 22:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
:??? Why would you ban him? I havn't seen anything wrong he has done... Please give more info... --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 22:15, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

| He has stolen keys from users like GreySyntax and often posts useless/incorrect keys. He also deletes proper info and cites the Wiki for everything. Finally, his KBAGS aren't needed.

::::Just to make it clear: Nobody will be banned just because others don't like someone. For a ban we need a clear majority of people with good arguments. --[[User:Http|http]] 22:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
