Now that firmware 2.x has been out for a while and is well past being jailbroke…I’m curious to know how many of you are still on 1.1.4 or below. So, here is a poll about it!
Mine and Doug’s personal iPhones are on the newest 2.1 firmware (jailbroke) but we have a few test iPhones that are on lower firmwares!
The previous poll was – How are you currently getting apps onto your iPhone and/or iPod Touch (choose all that apply)? Below are the results based on when we added the poll just over a week ago.
* App Store (66%, 1,398 Votes)
* Installer (32%, 670 Votes)
* Cydia (69%, 1,462 Votes)
* Manually (19%, 397 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,119
I’m with the majority on this one. I’m all about Cydia and the App Store. You can still vote on this Poll in our Poll Archive page. You can also vote/view all the past polls on the Poll Archive page as well. Here is the new poll:
Now for the new poll!
























Brooke, how are you and Doug on 2.1 jailbroke? I didn’t think you had a Mac. Also are you feeling better now?

We used a friend’s Mac!
And, I’m getting there…a little slower than I thought!

Hmm, interesting results from your previous poll
66% + 32% + 69% + 19% = ?

poor installer, oh how the mighty have fallen…

Brooke on September 16th, 2008 2:30 pm:
Oh yes, you have to have Cycorder. Though, I wish you could upload the videos to YouTube or at least email them!
Ken on September 17th, 2008 11:35 am:
Why not change the folder that Cycorder puts the files to a LINK to a location of another app that can upload to uTube or email?
Everyone on 1.1.4 needs to get with the program and update to 2.1…

One winpwn 3.0 is released and most of my 1.1.4 apps are ported I will.

Kaz on September 17th, 2008 5:25 am:
Wallpaper apps and all-in-one messengers are in 2.x. Get with the program people!
Nicholas Pike on September 17th, 2008 6:34 am:
Surprisingly there is BOTH for 2.0. Wallpaper apps (Winterboard) and all-in-one messengers. Shocking. Really.

Brooke on September 16th, 2008 2:29 pm:
I really do miss 1.1.4! I know it’s sad…but, I do! Honestly I miss my first gen iPhone. The 2nd gen just doesn’t stand up to the 1st gen!
I’m using still 1.1.4 because many of apps i’m using (and actually really need), didn’t be ported for new FW… So i’m waiting, specially for Mobile Scrobbler (no, I don’t want Last.fm app, because no scrobbling.)

in my opinion in this new poll about the firmware i think that the option of 2.1 should be alone in order to obtain a more specific results
- 1.1.4 and below (older)
- 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2 (previous)
- 2.1 (new version)

Thanks for the thoughts. I did this poll mainly to find out what the readers are using so we can make sure we’re writing about what you want. There really isn’t much happening for 1.1.4 and old installer and by the looks of the poll most have moved up to 2.0+. Maybe next time we’ll break it down to all the firmwares. Keep the ideas coming!
I’m dying for Winpwn, I tried upgrading my jailbroken 2.0.2 by restoring with a custom fw found in the wild, but it wouldn’t work. Now I’m stuck with straightforward 2.1. On the plus side, my custom carrier logo remains and the Stocks icon remains hidden care of Poof!

ichigo on September 16th, 2008 4:21 pm:
just download a custom 2.1 firmware… i dont get why you all go through the trouble of making your own custom firmware.
if you dont have a mac, you should definately just download a custom one and upgrade
WaitWhat on September 16th, 2008 7:49 pm:
I have a custom firmware. Shift click Restore is not allowing me to browse for firmware though. I’m using iTunes 8.
Kaz on September 17th, 2008 5:27 am:
Remember to put your iPhone in recovery mode, then pick out the custom firmware file and upgrade. Easy.
WaitWhat on September 17th, 2008 5:43 am:
It’s in recovery mode (usb and iTunes logo showing). iTunes sees it is in recovery modes and says to restore. I click okay. Then Shift + restore. The option to browse for custom fw does not appear. The only option is Restore and Update, which automatically grabs the stock fw. Thanks for the replies everyone!
WaitWhat on September 17th, 2008 11:27 am:
Did it! followed these instructions! http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=562018

Voice Dial and Pool are now on the app store, so I doubt they will come to the jailbroken world. I think there is something like LEDBanner in the store too, and that one is free.
HoP on September 17th, 2008 1:32 pm:
iBlacklist is for 3G/fw2.x already: http://www.iblacklist.com.br
I’m on 2.1, every one agree this firmware is best and works faster then old 2.0.x and 1.x.x.
So about intelliscreen u can try beta 8, works great. Beta u can get http://intelliborn.com/cydiabeta

B.Cherry on September 18th, 2008 10:34 pm:
1.14 and below is the business! Video backgrounds on both the lock screen and home screen! Video ringtones! Waves! Agile Moble, killin’ the official AIM app because it can run the background! AIM with no multi-task is garbage!!!!!
The last time I tried to Jailbreak, I got a pinapple logo that lasted over 30 minutes and still didn’t boot. I then tried again and got the same problem….not sure why….
I would definately like to jailbreak again as I miss Winterboard for the background wallpaper on the main screen…not just the lock screen….how lame. I also miss the Video Recording from Cycorder…What an Awesome FREE App.

I update to the latest firmware as soon as QuickPwn/PwnageTool is released. I updated to 2.1 the day it was released.
I always stay updated with the latest firmware.
