iOS 5 Now Available for Download - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Ezhik;32761476]Should I update my iPad 1 to 5.0? Kinda hesitating because my iPad has so little RAM... I'm still on 3.2.2, because there's a nice swap file hack that solved that problem for me.[/QUOTE]The jailbreak for 5.0 is already out so you might be able to duplicate the hack.

That's just the problem, the hack is broken on 4.2-4.3. I don't really know how it works on 5.0 though. [editline]13th October 2011[/editline] Also, is the jailbreak tethered?

Finally, some discrete notifications instead of these annoying pop-up blue windows that fucked around with browsing.

Yes, the jb is tethered for iOS 5.

[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy16;32761936]As for the second part, that's warez[/QUOTE] Not if one does the ROM dump(s) oneself :eng101:

I don't get it. Are the features in the Op the only ones? I don't know or care about half of those things. I have an Iphone but I don't think I'm going to upgrade, too much effort for essentially nothing of value to me.

There's a lot more

[QUOTE=Cuel;32746334]will this wipe my apps or anything like that[/QUOTE] it did for me and now I have to randomly go around buying apps that I think I own but actually don't and now it's charged me since having a credit card on file is mandatory now imagine if steam was like that

I swear I read somewhere that Siri would be available on iPhone 4 as well, I was looking forward to using Siri on my iPhone 4 :(

That's bullshit. Fuck Apple.

[QUOTE=faze;32763702]Wait, so when I install iOS 5 on my iPad, it'll erase all the apps I purchased? That's bullshit. Fuck Apple.[/QUOTE] It erased mine, but then I just restored them using the backup it prompted me to make. It backed up everything but the iOS version, and then when it finished installing iOS 5.0, it restored everything I had previously including apps, contacts and whatnot, everything apart from the previous iOS I had installed.

[QUOTE=faze;32763702]Wait, so when I install iOS 5 on my iPad, it'll erase all the apps I purchased? That's bullshit. Fuck Apple.[/QUOTE] I had to reinstall itunes so I had no apps stored on my computer to begin with. I assumed when it was "backing up" my phone that it was going to backup my entire phone, not just notes/settings etc. Now I'm sitting here trying to remember which apps I used to own, I've noticed that apps you own say "install" as opposed to just making you rebuy it on previous iOS versions. But I still have to manually go out and search for them.

[QUOTE=garry;32745847]The reason the newer OS's don't run on older phones is because there's no way to downgrade. It'd be stupid putting iOS5 on an iphone 1, and you've gotta draw the line somewhere.[/QUOTE] I'm still a bit pissed because I bought the iPod Touch 2G only a few months before the 3G came out (my first and so far only iOS device) I also don't feel like buying a new iOS device every 2/3 years just so I can use the newest software and its newest features

love how I can't place the newsstand into my "unused" folder

[QUOTE=faze;32763702]Wait, so when I install iOS 5 on my iPad, it'll erase all the apps I purchased? That's bullshit. Fuck Apple.[/QUOTE] Uhh, no. Only if you push restore instead of update.

[QUOTE=faze;32764553]So, just go into iTunes, hit backup, install iOS 5 and then restore all the apps from iTunes?[/QUOTE] It should run you through a new setup wizard when you begin the installation of iOS 5.0, there it should tell you to make a backup, and give you the option to.

[QUOTE=Van-man;32762848]Not if one does the ROM dump(s) oneself :eng101:[/QUOTE] Alternatively, if you don't know how to do it, then I think it's legal to download them if (and only if) you also own the cartridges. I could be wrong though, but it's probably the equivalent to "My game disc broke so I grabbed an ISO online"
