iPhone not Syncing with MobileMe?
After I jailbroke my iPhone, my Push Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Bookmarks stopped syncing. The reason was because all my mail settings were reset. So I simply switched them all to sync. Didn’t work. I tried all kinds of stuff to try and get my accounts to sync from me.com, but nothing worked. Rebooted, toggled the switches a few more times… nothing.
What finally did it was to delete the MobileMe account completely, power the device off, power it on, and then re-add the MobileMe account. Sure enough, my iPhone was once again in sync with me.com. =)

New Take on the iPhone Dock
Now that the new iPhone has been jailbroken, I’ve been messing around with all the images and icon, trying to customize the hell out of it. The first thing that I found out how to change was the background image for the dock (that metallic looking thing). The next thing that I learned was how to change individual application icons. (Within each app is a file ‘icon.png’, you just edit that)
Well, I came up with a new way to use the dock. I made all the app icons that are store in the dock blank PNG files (essentially no icon), and then made the background file one image with a bunch of stuff going on. All the notifications still appear where the icons were, and so do the text labels. For the text, I just made a black bar at the bottom faded out so that the text could be read.
Here’s a screen shot so you can see what I mean. My Apps at the bottom are: Phone, SMS, Safari, Mail.
I’m sure you could come up with a lot cooler ideas with this, but it should get the ball rolling =)

Easy Way to Restore Original iPhone Content
Have you been fucking around with your new iPhone and modding the hell out of it? Making your own graphics, hacking the apps, or seeing what happens when you edit a text file? Well, if you’re like me, you’re so eager to mess around that you forget to make a backup of something, and you overwrite it… with a bad file. SHIT! Now what? You could restore the iPhone from iTunes with the legit restore, or your custom IPSW file, but that takes forever, and you’ll loose a ton of your customizations. After having this happen to me twice, I decided to calm down and figure something out.
If you’ve downloaded the iPhone 2.0 SDK, it comes with a cool app called ‘iPhone Simulator’. In there are all the original files (even the encrypted PNG’s =)
The default install location is:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator2.0.sdk/
That’s the equivalent of root “/” on your iPhone. From there you can grab the originals and overwrite what you messed up on the phone =)
