I remember hearing something somewhere about how you can use Cydia to connect a wiimote to use as a joystick. Anyone know anything about it? Because I recently jailbroke my iPod and I would like to try this out.

Sure thing, what sources do you have installed? I'm pretty sure it's on either the Big Boss repository or the Hackulous one.

I just downloaded an app that connects the wiimote to my galaxy s2, but no luck getting it to control anything but guns on dogfight. I was really hoping to be able to use the joystick on the nun chuck.

Since I have trouble holding my phone I developed a holder using the box it came in.
Recently, I came across MINI-PLUNGERS. A trip to the hardware store for some PVC parts to adapt it to desired angle and larger grip and now it handles like a joystick. All for less than $10.




Hope this helps someone.

I know I have big boss, but I'm not sure about hackulus

I have an iPhone 4 through sprint, and I am wondering if I jailbreak it, will I still get connection and access to calls and stuff like that? I know it's worth it to jailbreak because I could use some apps that are only available if you jailbreak, but I just want to know if I still get cell service if I do.

The cydia app starts with a "B". I honestly can't seem to remember it at the moment.

I love those little plunger things! They are so cute!! Lol

I believe the cell service still works, because there are tons of tweaks for AT&T and stuff. But DO NOT jailbreak until the warranty is out of date. I suggest greenpois0n, just btw.

Lol, thats kinda the thing... I never bought the warranty with my phone. $50 a month extra + $100 right up front. Not gonna happen >.<

Srry if I wasn't very clear, it automatically voids the warranty

You need your iPhone, your cord, a computer, and between 1-3 hours of time.

Or jailbreak me... but with the new IOS 6 update, they probably have not updated yet which means all the current jailbreaks require tethers... I hate tethering because if my phone shuts down, I have to plug it into a power source to turn it back on =.=*

Well, you may need to downgrade your software.... They haven't gotten an update for ios6

You know there an actual mini Joyce stick, you can purchase them on eBay for as little as 6. Bucks, was gonna try one for my self...lol

More like 5-10 minutes. It isn't that hard nowadays.

1-3 hours back on the 1st generation iTouch -- sure. You had to do it all manually through SSH.

But it should take no more than 5 minutes to jailbreak your iDevice. What exactly are you using that takes "1-3 hours"?

Redsn0w, LimeRa1n and Green Pois0n should literally take 5 minutes tops.

You use the stick, Paul?

Yes. The plunger one. Still fine tuning it. Works great! I can't hold the phone well without it. Imagine that your hands are asleep & you still feel pain. It's weird how our nerves work sometimes.....

Sorry, that's right. I'm on a 2nd gen itouch, cracked screen, slow speeds, really should get a job and buy a new one lol

Just looking for a way to use my old wiimote as an accessory, don't really want to spend money. : /

I remember reading its now technically legal to jailbreak except for I pads. So it may actually not void the warranty like root I.g androids.

...It was only "illegal" for a brief 2-3 years with the release of the iPod Touch & iPhone. Legal battles happened -- Apple lost.

Apple still tries to say "Hurr durr, it'll void ur warrenty guize!" -- but this isn't the case. It isn't hard to "unjailbreak" your iDevice. All you need to do is delete any jailbroken apps you have and delete Cydia. That's it. A friend of mine once needed to get a replacement screen on his iDevice. But it was jailbroken. So we deleted everything, took it to an Apple store and bam. Replaced in a few days.

Don't fall for Apple Propaganda.

Jailbreakme.com is as simple as a restart. To unjailbreak, just restore a backup that you create before you jailbreak it.


Anyway, I know AT&T as well as T-Mobile have a ton of towers out and everything, and I know you can get better service if you do jailbreak, but I am with sprint, wont that cause issues if I jailbreak?

No I don't think it will
