Hi, There, ipod touch and iphone users. Ok, so im pretty sure you guys all have a slightly basic understanding of how the apple ipod works, right? You open an app. That app will use anywhere between maybe on an ipod touch 1G, 5-30MB of the available RAM. This isnt a problem. But, what if theres an app that was made to WORK with the 1G, but is too memory consuming?for instance, The  one app i love to use because i STILL have no cell phone, TextPlus+. This is a great app to use. it is fully functional, and there are almost no bad features in it, and its FREE no matter what so u wont get bothered by the ads. there are ads but they arent persistent little suckers. although, the problem with an app like this is that it was ACTUALLY built for iPhone users that wanted to text without paying. If you look closely theres an option where it will send ur iphone sms textx when u get messages in TextPlus. Because of this you might understand why it will frequently overheat and crash your ipod touch, exiting the app. I have a fix for this people! WOOT! YA! AND ITS A DOOSIE, TOO. With this little bit of code in the Plist file i wil give u, i can Background 8 apps on my ipod touch ( because i modded it from an extra 2 64MB files to 3 ) without crashin nothin. You might only get around 5 on your ipod first generation running at the same time, but thats pretty dang good. ( after 5 you wil have around 10-20 MB of free RAM left, and still wont be slowed much. ) Ok, i think its time i TELL you guys what i am here to tell you so you dont get freakin bored and leav.

As usual, my works always require you to have a few things on your computer.
Because im a nice guy, ill add a download link or two for windows users.
Computer side:
WinSCP ( or any other FTP or SSH client that uses port 22, YOU NEED TO USE PORT 22 IF UR USIN AN FTP PROGRAM SO BE SURE TO CHANGE THAT UP FROM 21!!!)

the file to upload:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mtt1zoztymz
This file was not created by me but i dont remember the original link for this so im makin it for others.

Things you need on your ipod:
OpenSSH needs to be installed from Rock, Cydia, or Icy.
You need SSH not to be disabled if you have SBSettings installed.
You need an internet connection to which you are connected on the same network as your home computer. Iphone users or itouch 2g if you have bluetooth or something on your pc you may use that but i can not help u ther.

Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!
