**Note: “SB” settings stand for SpringBoard settings.

To access your SBSettings home, simply swipe your finger at least 50 pixels across the status bar.What will come down is this:

Here you can right away see 4 main options, Brightness, Processes, SSH and Wi-Fi.

The brightness tab is pretty straight forward, simply press the button and adjust your brightness on the fly, without have to exit whatever you are doing, go to the settings application, waiting for it to load… etc.

The processes tab allows you to view all applications running in the background, so if you find that your device is running a lot slower than it should be, try ending a few useless processes this should make a lot more memory available and allow you to continue using your iPod Touch/iPhone nice and smoothly. There is also a “Free Up Memory” button, will free up any available memory to make your device faster.

The SSH button lets you toggle your SSH connection. If you have no idea what SSH is, or how to use it, go to this tutorial. Disabling this feature can help save battery power, which is great when you are already running low.

And finally, Wi-Fi. Same as the SSH button, you will toggle your connection to the internet, which will save more battery than just by disabling SSH.

Now, for the smaller icons, there is: More, Refresh, Dock, Respring and Power.

By clicking on “More”, you will close the SBSettings drop down menu and open the actual application. you can now adjust a lot more that just brightness.

Firstly, is the themes pages. Yes, you can apply themes to your SBSettings menu, there are 4 main ones already given, however Cydia offers a wide array of themes created by other people.

Then there is the “Set Toggles” tab. The name of the tab is pretty self-explanatory. You can add to the 4 main toggles. A very useful one to have is “Fast Notes”, for when how have to take something down real fast, but don’t have a pen or a piece of paper and loading the notes app would just be too long.

Next on the list is “Dock Applications”. As I mentioned before, on your SBSettings drop down menu there is a Dock button, here is where you select the applications you wish to be placed there. Let’s say you have an application that you don’t use, but still sometimes need to access and find it a waste of space on your home screen, you can select that application so that it goes to your SBSetting dock. By doing so, it is out of sight, but can still easily be accessed.

The “Hide Icons” tab lets you select apps that you don’t want one your home screen but then cannot be accessed through any means, except by “unhiding” them.

The next tab, “Mobile Substrate Add-ons” is used to toggle faulty add-ons so that they can then be removed through Cydia.

Extras are little options like memory in status bar, numeric battery and much more.

And finally the last page, “App Folders” simply gives you the directory in which a chosen app is found. The point? We haven’t really figured that out yet really, seeing that all AppStore apps are in the same directory and Cydia in one own.

So that’s it for the “More” button on the drop down menu, so lets get back to that.

The refresh button will refresh your IP info, available storage and available memory.

The dock button, as I said previously, allows you to quickly access apps pre-selected in the “More” page.

The “Repsring” button will simply respring your device. This comes in handy when, for example, you are transferring files through SSH and need to update your device.

And last but not least, the “Power” button. When pressed, you are given 4 power options. Reboot (useful if your lock button is broken), Power Off (also very useful if lock doesn’t work), Lock and Safe Mode, this is especially useful if you have just installed a cracked application and it keeps crashing, put your device in safe mode and it might run perfectly, if not, the .ipa is invalid.

I know following the tutorials is nice and all but sometimes it seems that it just doesn’t want to work! Sometimes you need help from somebody who knows the subjects and has to be there at the same time as you to be able to guide you. That is why I will leave all my contact information so that you can contact me anytime for help, questions, suggestions and feedback!

P.S.: I am not saying I will answer the second after you send the e-mail and whatnot but it will take just couple of hours at most!

Don’t be shy we will be glad to help you!

That’s it for now. If you want me to more available on other website or services, just write a comment below!

Also don’t forget, if you use StumbleUpon, to “I Like it!” the pages! or simply share this website with all your friends!

1. Make sure your device is connected to the computer
2. If you want to restore to the latest firmware version, just click on restore in the device menu.
3. If your device doesn’t respond and/or doesn’t turn on, put it in DFU mode. (When in DFU mode, nothing appears on the screen. That is normal. If ever you see an icon telling you to connect your device to iTunes, that is not DFU but restore mode.)
   1. Hold the sleep and home button until the screen turns off and wait 2 seconds.
   2. Let go of the sleep button but keep holding the home until your computer recognizes it and iTunes pops-up saying that your device needs a restore.
4. You can now either click on restore or Shift+Click on restore to select a firmware file (If ever you want to revert to an old firmware version)

Note: Restoring your device may make you loose all your files. It will also undo the jailbreak so you will have to rejailbreak after it has finished restoring. Make sure to backup your files so that you can put them back right after it has finished restoring.

If you get errors, make sure you have the latest version of itunes.
Try another firmware, maybe the on you are using is corrupted.

What is the IPL Bootloader?

The iPod Bootloader is a menu that will let you access extra options on your iPod.

For example you can install iPodLinux, RockBox, iBoy, iGPSP, extra themes, Iarcnes and many others. When you install iPodLinux you automatically get a bootloader but the only options that come with it are

1. Apple  OS (The original iPod operating System)
2. iPodLinux (Enables you to launch iPodLinux
3. Sleep (Puts your iPod in deep sleep. To turn on just press and hold menu + center)
4. Disk mode  (Same as when you press and hold center + Play when the iPod is connected. Useful when your computer cannot find your iPod)

As I wrote earlier you can add even more options by editing the Bootloader file and here is how to do it.

Note this works with iPod Video 5G, 5.5G and Nano

Thank to an example of a loader.cfg file provided by Y2KCPI1 I will show you how to edit the file. The file is called loader.cfg and is located in the root of the iPod.

1. Make sure you installed iPodlinux
2. Make sure your iPod is plugged
3. Go to Start > my computer > “Your iPod”
4. Find the file name loader.cfg
5. Right-Click and open with Wordpad

You will see something like this:
#iPodLoader 2.5 config File

Apple OS @ osos

iPodLinux @ (hd0,1)/linux.bin

Sleep @ Standby (To Put The iPod To Sleep)

Disk Mode @ diskmode

6. To add another menu option you must put the code in a new line

Here are all the option you can add/ modify

Note: All the menu choices for iPodLinux, Rockbox, iBoy, IArcnes etc are given in each of the respective tutorials.

#iPodLoader 2.5 config File

backlight = 1 (Backlight On) (Must Be 1)

timeout = 10 (How Long Before It Chooses The Default)

default = 1 (Which One It Chooses If No Response)

# Here Come The Menu Choices:

Apple OS @ osos (This Is The Regular Apple Software)

iPodLinux @ (hd0,1)/linux.bin (This Is If You Have iPodLinux)

Rockbox @ (hd0,1)/.rockbox/rockbox.ipod (For Rockbox)

Sleep @ Standby (To Put The iPod To Sleep)

Disk Mode @ diskmode (To Put The iPod Into Diskmode)
