Mr Funk Monkey. Can you add a tutorial on how to add other software to the app itself? I know it requires editing a .plist file I think. And if you can add vendor IDs and examples. Thank you so much.

1. Download/install voipover3g. Can be located in Cydia.

2. SSH your phone. This requires that you turn SSH on in your Boss Preferences. You will also need to connect your phone to the computer and access it with Cyberduck (Mac) or WinSCP (Windows)…or any other FTP client.

3. Edit the file then save. I just copied and pasted this:
Code:
Filter = {Bundles = (“com.Fringland.Fring”, “com.apple.AppStore”, “com.audiofile.Interstate”, “com.orbnetworks.OrbLive”, “com.apple.MobileStore”);};

The file can be found using this pathCode:
/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/

those are already in the plist. on a mac you use “Property List Editor” to insert the bundles. do you know what you use on Windows? thats my problem, have no idea what to use on windows…

In windows use WinScp to SSh into /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/

Then just edit the plist, save and exit. Reboot Iphone

Yeah I found the ORB identifier. I know how to edit the .plist but how can I find the identifier’s of apps so I can insert them into the .plis?

Also quite a few added apps and they didnt work but others did. It would be nice to have a list of known apps and their version numbers that work.
