iPhone 1.1.3 firmware behind the scenes changesTags: 1.1.3, applications, breaking, changes, hack, internal, iphone, jailbreak, sdk, widgets- SpringBoard no longer needs to be modified (via SummerBoard) in order to show extra applications in the /Applications folder. - All applications now run as the user 'mobile' instead of as root. - Preferences are now stored in /var/mobile rather than in /var/root. What does this all mean? I'll tell you what it means. The iPhone 1.1.3 firmware is ready for official installable applications. Even though there are no applications available for purchase (besides the iPod Touch's $20 "upgrade package"), the installation architecture appears to be there already. It also appears that the frameworks have undergone many changes, ostensibly to make it easier for official SDK developers to make programs. It does, however, break many of the existing applications including most of mine (Lights Off still works though :D). Additionally, the SpringBoard app appears to have widget support - it contains a class called SBWidgetApplication which manages the package location and icon. I will update this post with more details as I find them, so keep checking back. Also check out this other hack for adding Speed Dial icons to your 1.1.3 home screen.
