Can I propose a page for acidsn0w? I heard that there was stolen code, so I haven't posted. --[[User:Haifisch|Haifisch]] 17:02, 17 January 2012 (MST)
 
:The first beta did use stolen code, but the second beta fixed that. As it is still in beta, a page may not be a good idea. It does have a good user-base as shown in their blog comments, but it is up to the sysops. If you are in the Pwn Dev Team, then NO. --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 17:09, 17 January 2012 (MST)

:::I want to make something clear about this wiki, it's called "The iPhone Wiki", not "The iPhone Community Wiki", or even "The Jailbreaking Wiki". This site exists to document the iPhone, not who made what GUI. A jailbreak tool that doesn't introduce exploits or isn't very widely used isn't notable. To clarify, the [[Limera1n_Exploit]] page is far more valuable than the [[limera1n]] page. Please focus on adding technical content instead of thinly veiled advertisements. For example, it's appalling we don't have a page documenting [[ASLR]] --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 23:16, 17 January 2012 (MST)

i0nic's slides from his CanSecWest [http://antid0te.com/CSW2012_StefanEsser_iOS5_An_Exploitation_Nightmare_FINAL.pdf presentation have been released]. Where should we link to them from? --[[User:Beej|beej]] 17:38, 17 March 2012 (MDT)
How does one grab the keys for the IMG3 files if they have a decrypted ramdisk? I have genpass, xpwn, and vfdecrypt, but what do I use to get keys for IMG3 files? --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 17:17, 2 February 2012 (MST)
 
:Unlike the vfdecrypt key, the keys for decrypting the [[IMG3_File_Format#Tags | IMG3]] are stored encrypted in the [[KBAG]] section of the IMG3 file itself, not the ramdisk. These keys are encrypted using the [[GID-key]], so access to the AES engine is required. On a device compatible with greenpois0n or openiBoot, this process is (loosely) documented [[AES_Keys#Running_The_Engine | here]]. I am working on implementing a method that can be performed on a jailbroken 4S or iPad 2 (is that is what you're looking for?) and will release when finished --[[User:0x56|0x56]] 20:12, 1 March 2012 (MST)
 
::Yah, running greenpois0n is my problem. I cant find the program. --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 21:02, 1 March 2012 (MST)
 
:::I was mistaken, I won't be able to accomplish this for the 4S or iPad 2 due to a limitation that was not documented here --[[User:0x56|0x56]] 07:00, 5 March 2012 (MST)
 
 
=== iPad2,4 ===
 
Should we call it <code>iPad 2 Wi-Fi R2</code> or <code>iPad 2 Wi-Fi S5L8942</code> on the key pages? --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 18:59, 8 March 2012 (MST)
 
:Personally, I like how "iPad 2 Wi-Fi S5L8942" sounds more. It could be truncated to "iPad 2 S5L8942" or something if people think the name is too long. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 20:07, 8 March 2012 (MST)
 
::I would not remove the Wi-Fi part, because if there's ever a 3G version, we would have to rename everything. I would prefer a shorter name like R2 or so. Also because S5L is the processor and not a public device name. Something official? Is there no statement from Apple yet? Maybe we should wait a few days until it's out? Or is there anything that can't wait so long? --[[User:Http|http]] 00:18, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 
:::Apple's marketing it as the same old iPad 2. (Interestingly, Apple's online store does suggest that the all flavors of the iPad 2 have new model numbers.) Apple will still sell 3G versions of the iPad 2, but we haven't seen any "iPad2,5" firmware or something… Just the "iPad2,4." If the 3G iPads were receiving the S5L8942, their unique firmwares probably would've been pushed on http://itunes.com/version on Wednesday like all of the other devices. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 10:25, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 
::I personally like R2 as it is shorter and easier to remember. I will change [[Template:Keys]] accordingly. --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 16:21, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 
 
I know this is an old topic that was already decided on, but it came to my attention a couple of days ago that Apple refers to this iPad 2 revision as "iPad 2 Wi-Fi (Rev A)" (at least their iPhone Developer Center). I'd like to propose (gradually?) changing all references to this. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 19:37, 16 September 2012 (MDT)
 
 
=== Theme ===
 
Several people are compaining about the theming/style change [http://twitter.com/#!/DarkMalloc/status/174555059777052672 1] [http://twitter.com/#!/Gojohnnyboi/status/178253989232648192 2]. I wasn't involved in this change (except the new image), but I think there was no discussion about changing the default style. Can't we switch the default style back to how it was and for those that like a fancy new theme can still have the new one? -- [[User:Http|http]] 16:37, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 
:The way to add new themes would be to have access to the server. Thats why we did this. What we can do is get geohot to copy Vector.php, Vector.deps.php, and Vector/ to iPhone.php, iPhone.deps.php, and iPhone/ and modify some variables. I can do that. Then just move [[Mediawiki:Vector.css]] to [[Mediawiki:iPhone.css]]. --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 17:05, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 
::Second this. In fact, seeing as it'll have the same base html/css/js as vector, geohot can copy Vector.deps.php&rarr;iPhone.deps.php, [http://pastie.org/3583443 save this to iPhone.php], put <tt>$wgDefaultSkin="iphone";</tt> in LocalSettings.php and then [http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=special:movepage&wpOldTitle=mediawiki:vector.css&wpNewTitle=mediawiki:iPhone.css&wpReason=moving+iphone+style+to+separate+skin&wpMovetalk=1 move the css] [[User:thekirbylover|<span style="color:orange">the</span>]][[User talk:thekirbylover|<span style="color:green">kirby</span>]][[Special:Contributions/thekirbylover|<span style="color:red">lover</span>]] 02:01, 13 March 2012 (MDT)
 
:As I've tweeted about since last night, I decided to give the current iOS-like theme a bit of a makeover. [http://img.ly/fa7T Here's] how it looks in Chromium. The theme also works in Firefox for Windows, except the left navigation tabs aren't shifted closer to the center. I haven't gotten around to testing it in other browsers just yet, unfortunately. Thoughts on this? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 18:32, 12 March 2012 (MDT)
 
::Looks great, though as I mentioned on twitter, the heading should be put somewhere in the title bar area so it looks more realistic. Maybe something similar to the "other network" window under Wi-Fi settings.

:::That'd be nice, but I don't want the page heading to overlap the tabs. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 13:46, 13 March 2012 (MDT)
 
I added my modifications to the theme. It works as desired in all (desktop) browsers except IE… I'll make an attempt at improving the theme in IE 7/+. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 21:05, 8 April 2012 (MDT)
 
:Looking great :) I tested in IE8 and 9, doesn't look too bad, barring the unselected tabs due to the solid background; you can use the longer <tt>filter</tt>/<tt>-ms-filter</tt> syntax [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532997(v=vs.85).aspx like so] for IE gradients [[User:thekirbylover|<span style="color:orange">the</span>]][[User talk:thekirbylover|<span style="color:green">kirby</span>]][[Special:Contributions/thekirbylover|<span style="color:red">lover</span>]] 09:06, 15 April 2012 (MDT)
 
I created more modifications that I'd like feedback on before the possibly get implemented. Both of these are meant to further help emulate the iOS look. I was thinking of giving the sidebar and header bar fixed positioning, so they stick around regardless of where you scroll. ([http://img.ly/nded Screenshot]) I also created some CSS that makes some headers (particularly those on the [[Main Page]] and [[Special:SpecialPages|Special pages]] page) look like iOS… sections? (I don't recall the correct term for it.) [http://img.ly/ndee Here's] a screenshot since I suck at describing what I'm trying to say. :P Thoughts on these changes? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 19:39, 11 September 2012 (MDT)
 
:They're section headers :) and they look great, but maybe some negative margins (like <code>margin: 0 -8px</code>) could be used to make them extend to the edge of the page area and look more iOS-y. The top bar could go well with some fixed positioning, but I don't think the sidebar should.

::I didn't really want the sidebar to be fixed either. However, the title bar actually stretches across the complete width of the page, and scrolling down on long pages can reveal that.[http://img.ly/nk8O] Currently, that section of the title bar is hidden by applying the linen background to the logo, hence why I currently have the sidebar fixed. Any ideas on how deal with the title bar? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 13:04, 14 September 2012 (MDT)
 
:::One small issue I noticed with making the title bar fixed is that, when you click on an anchor link, the title bar will cover up the header for the section you're looking at (and some content as well). You can always scroll a little up to see what was being blocked though. To combat this problem, I entertained the idea of making just the area where page content is displayed the part that scrolls.[http://img.ly/nqrY] I don't think that a lot of people (especially those with small screens) would like this change, so I'm expecting heavy criticism. I plan on using the previously-mentioned method for the fixed title bar instead of this newer method, unless everybody actually prefers the newer method. :P (Note that the scrolling area is not for the whole page, just the content area.) --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 20:13, 16 September 2012 (MDT)

I opened up the Build Manifest on the iPad3,2 firmware and it says it is j2ap. The iPad3,3 firmware says j2aap. j1ap is correct for the Wi-Fi version. So... what? --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 17:35, 9 March 2012 (MST)

=== iPad 3 Global vs. iPad 3 GSM ===
 
To me, it seems the iPad 3 Global is really a GSM model (correct me if I'm wrong). So should we continue to use <code>Global</code> or should we use <code>GSM</code>? --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 16:27, 23 August 2012 (MDT)
 
:I think we should stick with "Global." When I decided on the suffixes, I chose "Global" because it's the cellular model that's sold internationally, and the CDMA/Verizon-configured version can use GSM networks. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 22:53, 23 August 2012 (MDT)
 
 
=== Date Formats ===
 
We have a few date formats used on this site for release dates:
 
* [[VFDecrypt Keys]] - YYYY/MM/DD
 
* [[Keynote]] - Month DD, YYYY
 
I think we should choose one. I personally like <code>Month DD, YYYY</code> so there is no ambiguity on the date:
 
* 2012/05/06
 
** May 6, 2012?
 
** June 5, 2012?
 
--[[User:5urd|5urd]] 13:01, 15 September 2012 (MDT)
 
:Didn't we have this discussion somewhere else already? My answer here is this: Where we have the space, always use month names, so that it is clear which format is in use. I would prefer "5 May 2012" as format for these. For the order, I dislike the US format, because of the inconsistent order. Either it should be D-M-Y or Y-M-D. I would prefer the ISO ordering with a dash: YYYY-MM-DD. If we use the dash, make sure it's HTML-non-breakable. And don't use the slash (/) as separator, because that indicates US-format. --[[User:Http|http]] 18:04, 16 September 2012 (MDT)

iPhone 5

On the AnandTech report on the iPhone 5, it has two model numbers listed: A1428 for GSM and A1429 for GSM+CDMA. This leads me to beleive there is a GSM model and a Global model. This would explain the iPhone5,2 that the websites are reporting. The 5,2 is the Global model and 5,1 would be the GSM model. Is there anything definative? --5urd 12:57, 17 September 2012 (MDT)
