  9. [upd] Navizon (1.1.4) [no notes provided]
  10. [upd] SMSD (0.03) [adds ability to forwardSMS messages]

AFPd notes:

  • Not for 1.0.2 firmware.
  • Not tested on the iPod Touch   UPDATE: it’s reported to work ok on the iPod Touch.
  • If you previously manually installed the AFP service from Core’s site, please uninstall it, as it will conflict with this package.
  • If you installed the AFP package from the “Shai’s Apps” repository, you must remove it first. Please note that they have a bug in their uninstall script: they remove all of /opt instead of only removing the /opt/iphone/afp directory. This will not affect most people, but be aware that some packages do install files under /opt and this will delete their files out from under them.
  • Run the application once, to turn it on.
  • To change the name your iPhone’s AFP service is advertised as, edit the “Service Name” field and press return.
  • Setting “Server Active” to “Off” also sets “Broadcast Active” to “Off” and disables its toggle.
  • Setting “Server Active” to “On” re-enables the “Broadcast Active” toggle, which you may then set to “On”, if you wish.
  • Setting “Broadcast Active” to “On” means that you can simply browse to your iPhone by it’s AFP Service Name, on your Mac and don’t have to remember your iPhone’s IP address.
  • Connect to it using the credentials “root” and whatever you changed your iPhone’s root password to. You did change it, right?
