 This Instructable will show you how to customize tour iPhone or iPod touch with jail broken software.

***Disclaimer*** Jail braking your iPhone or iPod touch will deactivate the warranty on it so if it breaks you will not be given another one free of charge, there is also a small chance that if not done properly some of the apps on your iPod will be deleted- if this happens RESTORE IT.
You can find the tutorial for jail breaking an iPod Here.

Step 1: Using Cydia

        Cydia is the Appstore for all of the jail broke apps. Almost every app on Cydia is free and the ones that cost money are usually like 99 cents.
      
       There are 5 different sections on the Cydia main page they are: Cydia (home), Sections/ install, Changes, Manage, Search.
      
       In sections/ Install it breaks the apps down into categories games, entertainment, etc. Changes which is just the updates section.
       Manage directs you to a page with 3 options to go to- packages (list of your apps).  
       Sources which you add,
And storage which shows you how much room you have left for new packages. And search, which obviously lets you search for apps.

Okay, listen. If something happens with your iphone/ipod weather it broke because of Cydia or NOT, you plug it in, system restore through Itunes and they'll never know that jailbreak was on there. So stop whining and enjoy the free stuff.

now, this will actually work without damaging the ipod or its software etc?

it might damage it, and if it does you cannot go to apple and tell them to fix it, cuz jailbreaking voids the warranty. gb123

yes you can you just have to back up all of your data onto itunes, restore it (which deletes all traces of the jail break), then when it is fixed just re-jail break it and sync with all your cracked apps

does winterboard appear with any jailbreak, like blackra1n and spirit?

sorry if this is a stupid question or not, cause i dont have an ipod or iphone yet, but what does "remote" do?

The hackulo thing is like limewire when someone buys an app they can share it through Installous so it is technically legal.

I am thinking about getting an Ipod Touch.  Does anyone know if they will ever come out with a 120gb one?  Also will this hack work for the newer models of Touch?
dagenius in reply to ScammahJan 7, 2010. 5:13 PM
120 gigs?!?!?! It would be very hard to fill 120 gigs in an ipod touch...
Scammah in reply to dageniusJan 11, 2010. 1:01 PM
Well I have a 120gig classic, and I'm actually pretty close to running out of space believe it or not.  I have this thing about having all of my music with me at all times.
dagenius in reply to ScammahJan 29, 2010. 1:19 PM

well, come to think of it, the size has been doubling for some time now, and i think i read somewhere that the 4th generation touch will have 128 gigs.
