   Ok i got a question, if I downgraded to 1.1.1 or do another restore, will it clean everything up and return me to Root and APPS so I can do a clean install from scratch, anyone??

   You can put your iPhone into recovery mode and then do a full restore to 1.1.1, it will delete the shortcut…but, it will leave a copy of the Applications folder in the root/private/var folder and you will have SSH in and delete it from there.

   I installed BossTool 0.35 and moved my fonts and ringtones only so far and went from 30mb of free space to 118mb of free space from doing that. I know this is probably a silly question, but if we can’t change the font on our iphone (or at least I thought we couldn’t), why are there so many fonts on it to be moved? Am I missing something? Sorry, I’m very new to all this…

   Hello,
   I had a question, once I move all my Apps using BossTool (v0.35) and when I add a new App will it automatically place it into that new relocated folder?
   Thanks,
   Heba

   @Heba…it just creates a shortcut…so, no matter what apps you add it will just shortcut it to the new folder…which means, that it will automatically move them, you will not need to run BossTool again after you add more apps. Does that answer your question?

   @Cassy…I just got a message from BigBoss and he said he changed it to relocate the fonts (instead of the wallpaper) because fonts take up A LOT more space than Wallpapers. On my iPhone, fonts take up between 86-87MB of space!

   One unexpected consequence of doing this after going up to 1.1.3 is that you get all of your old apps back from 1.1.2.

   @Slip…when you upgrade…it removes the shortcut but leaves the Applications folder in the root/private/var/. So, when you ran it again on 1.1.3 it probably just shortcut right back to that folder and readded all your old apps. After you upgraded…you could have deleted the Applications folder in the root/private/var/ and then I don’t think it would have done that.

   NOTE: you can only just “go in and delete” the root/private/var/Applications file if the shortcut has been removed…if you did not upgrade to 1.1.3 but want to remove BossTool…here is a post about it.

    Hello i used the new bosstool on my 1.1.3 to relocate the ringtones, but now the existing ringtones that i had are disappeared and i cannot put new ringtones using the “iPhoneRingtoneMaker”
    is there anything wrong with permissions?

    [Reply]
15. Brooke on February 1st, 2008 9:38 am:
    

    @Andreas…you could making sure all the permissions are 0755.

16. Andreas on February 1st, 2008 10:00 am:
    

    I run chmod 0755 on the Ringtone directory
    But when I used total comander with the T-PoT plugin to upload files in the Ringtone directory , there is no writable access.

    Boss Tool+Categories= Trouble???
    i have a feeling this equation isnt good news…i installed categories before bosstool..
    Previously bosstool didnt empty much space on relocating apps, and i had a ton of them installed. i had categories installed then…
    then i did a restore and installed all apps except catgories. and then bosstool cleared almost 160 mb space!!

    Hi, I downloaded BossTool v.0.35 and tried to relocate fonts and applications, but the ‘timer’ (the thing that looked like clock) took a spin and stopped, nothing seemed changed. What can I do ?

    And before I run BossTool, I removed all 3rd party applications, I still have 3MB left out of 266MB on /, while 2GB free out of 7.4GB on /var. The figures expected are rather different ??

25. BigRed on February 21st, 2008 12:23 pm:
    

    K another question? After i relocated my apps some of them aren’t showing up on the springboard. Is there a way to see these apps and better yet use them. I see them in the application folder when i SSH. But no where else.

    Brooke on February 27th, 2008 10:08 pm:

    Yeah StatusStyle 2.2 didn’t work for me either…check out THIS post. The previous version worked fine and I had BossTool installed then too…so, I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I know the developer of StatusStyle worked with BigBoss to help him develop StatusStyle…so, I would think that they would not conflict with each other.

    BossTool will crash your iphone in case you installed previously caterpillar and moving its fonts.
    Install BossTool first – move fonts, then install caterpillar 1.1.1 + crack 2.2

    [Reply]
33. matt on April 1st, 2008 12:59 pm:
    

    I can confirm that having caterpillar and installing Bosstool after will crash your iphone and it will not be able to boot up due to lack of any fonts I presume (that caterpillar uses). I’m at work but I’m guessing that the only solution will be to recover when I get home which sucks. So beware guys, Bosstool and caterpillar don’t mix!

    Joe E on September 9th, 2008 12:19 am:

    You will have to restore your OS using itunes and re-install your applications.

    I suggest never use Boss tools again, Pls go to a professional IT shop or the place you got your phone to do it for you.

    Is it worth using this to free space or is it recommended not to be done?

    I moved the Fonts and had the same problem as some of you on 1.1.4. After rebooting I just had the apple logo with a progress graphic…
    I fixed it accessing the phone by SSH (needs to have openSSH installed). You have to go to the new folder “/private/var/Fonts” and see that all the fonts are inside one other “Fonts” folder, just enter that second folder and move all the fonts to the parent directory. For the ones that are trying to avoid one restore and don’t know linux commands just do the following:
    # cd /private/var/Fonts/
    # mv Fonts/* .
    # reboot

    It worked for me! I advice everyone with some basic linux knowledge to install openSSH for using to fix these kind of problems

    I have a Jailbroken iphone (1.1.4). Last night I moved Ringtones and Fonts using BossTool after which the phone fails to starts. When I power on the iphone it just shows me Apple logo and a wheel. Its keeps on restarting again and again and does not show anything beyond that. Please tell me how to I get back to original state. Or If I need to restore then how do i do it. If restoring is the answer would Jailbroken status would be preserved? Thanks in advance to you lovely people.

45. Joe E on September 9th, 2008 12:13 am:
    

    I realy would like to say that never ever use this application on your iphones, it completely damages the OS and you have to restore it back and unlock it and all your data, apllications and custom ringtones will go away. I used it last week and my beautiful phone for the 1st time froze on boot up and In had to take it to a shop to do full recovery and took my a day to re-install the applications and create my ringtones etc.. who realy wrote this program? Fire him on spot.

    Boss makes some very usefull programs but this one itself is the most dangerous virsu I have ever seen.
