Juiz iPhone Mod :D

Working on icons now. Safari doesn’t wanna cooperate with Winterboard for me though :(
Almost done (lol just hid all the icons that I haven’t done yet). Had to manually replace the SMS icon since I have no idea what name it goes by in Springboard (er, I’m being lazy so I’m using the easier old icon method from Springboard–Winterboard still recognizes it but apparently it’s not as proper, but fuck that). I was thinking about using the number badges for icons, but it just seemed weird to do that for anything but speed dial and the iPhone doesn’t really have that.

Still have a few more icons to change (or maybe I’ll just be lazy and keep them on another page :D) and then I think I’ll move on to editing UI stuff (like the keyboard and sliders and other shit). I think it’s actually starting to look pretty good now.


I was bored this evening, so I decided to try screwing around with my iPhone to add custom system sounds to it. Haven’t done too much with it yet since I still have to figure out what sounds work best where (and exactly what some of the sound files are, I can’t remember where half of them are used and can’t seem to find a key anywhere online). I’m tempted to try screwing around with the UI some too. 

Anyway, here’s what it looks–er sounds like so far (I think the lock sound might be a little long, but I’m still messing with it):

It’s really a pretty simple mod once you’ve jailbroken your phone and figured out how to SSH into it. I just used the audio files from one of /a/’s Juiz clip-packs: Juiz.zip

[EDIT] Too lazy to take another video right now, but I added/changed some more sounds. 

Unlock: “This is Juiz.”
Lock: “Please continue to be a Messiah.”
SMS/E-mail Received + Voicemail: “Noblesse Oblige.” (probably should be one of the phone alert sounds, but they were getting boring so I changed it up)
E-mail sent: “Order received.” 
Dialing Error: “My apologies.”

I haven’t finished changing everything, but for the other stuff I altered, I just used different segments from the phone beeps/alert sounds from the clip-pack.

[EDIT II]

Here’s the lock screen and the background I just made (need to play with the icons so it doesn’t look like shit on the phone now…)

LockBackgroundWallpaper

[EDIT III] Hoshi- apparently Winterboard supports video wallpapers! Time to animate the background I guess…

[EDIT IV] :< Got an animated background and lockscreen working, but it’s just too much for my 1st gen iPhone to handle ;_; (it runs but it’s laggy as fuck). I wonder if there’s some more optimization I can do to make it work better (it was still laggy when the background was like a 33k gif though…).

  1. what is it sayingz?

    • Unlock: “This is Juiz.”
      Lock: “Order received. Noblesse Oblige, please continue to be a messiah.”

  2. what on earth is juiz?
    also, check out the AWESOME vid on my site right now. helen thomas KICKS FREAKING BUTT!!!
    i want to create a new header just in honor of that…hurm…

    • Juiz is from Eden of the East…. a show that everyone should watch

    • What Wolf Shirt said. Cell phones are pretty central to the story and Juiz is an AI concierge (the characters with these special phones just have to pick up their phone and ask Juiz to do something–anything–and it gets done).

      Seriously, you should watch it. It’s awesome. Also Johnnies.

  3. eden of the east. check, downloading…

    • It’s pretty awesome, I don’t think you’ll regret it. But I’ll lol real hard if your favorite character dies again.

  4. o great. well, i’ll let you know who he is as soon as i decide.

    • Well… er…… nevermind.

  5. lalala i’m not listening lalalala!!
    downloading the batch for 1-11, 85% there.

  6. Are you trying to do this on OS 3.0?

    • Yeah. Most of it’s functional, but I think some things are mapped differently in 3.0 so Winterboard doesn’t work 100% on some things (like moding the SMS background and a couple other things). The weird thing about the Safari icon is that I’ve got other themes working with a replaced icon and mine’s set up the same way but it’s just not cooperating.

  7. Looks nice, but you know you could just buy the actual phone???

    • Oh I know, but that’s no fun. It’s a cool-looking phone, but it’s not as functional as the iPhone and I’m pretty sure that being a Japanese phone it’ll be totally useless outside of Japan anyway.

  8. okay, i now appreciate how totally awesome this phone mod is.
    also, finished 1-11 :P
    instead of working on my thesis…nyrgk. well, i finished another chapter of the book i’m reading for it, so i got some thesis work done. but i should have done more.

  9. Will you be sharing this awesome theme when you’re finished?

    • Yup, assuming I can get it fully functional and up-to-standard (I have to look into just what I’d have to do to put it up on Cydia or one of the other Jailbroken installer apps). Also, I think I might wait until Winterboard gets a 3.0 update just because it’s kind of spotty functionality-wise right now (some things don’t work quite right under 3.0, so you’d have to do a manual replace to get it to work until they fix it).

      But if it doesn’t look like I’m going to finish any time soon (er… it might be a few weeks before I can do much on it right now because summer semester’s keeping me really busy atm, like, so after that) I’ll probably just post whatever I’ve gotten done so far in like a month.

      • hi did you get the juiz mod up and running yet on a jail broken installer ap ? if so let me know where to find it im sure plenty of people will want it email me serioux21@aol.com when you do and how to find it in the jailbroken aps

  10. any chance of seeing this mod any time soon? am quite interested with it :)

  11. I only want the sounds, since I don’t have a I phone o: please release a soundpack

  12. Hey I’m new to the jailbroken iphone. how do I go about downloading this? I’ve just gotten cydia and winterboard. I’d definitely appreciate it, thanks!
