Recommendation: Got an old iPhone 3G? Put Whited00r on it!

Also applicable to the iPhone 2G, and the iPod Touch 1G and 2G

Apple's iPhone 3G is now over three years old, and they have discontinued support for it. The latest software version to be released for it (ver 4.0+) includes lots of great features, but makes the device unusably slow. For this reason, many people are reverting their iPhone 3G's to iOS ver. 3. The disadvantage with this is that you loose all the great features from iOS 4. You can gain some of these back by jailbreaking, but that once again slows down the device greatly.

The solution? Whited00r!

Whited00r is a custom software version (firmware) that is based on the version 3.0 software. It is customized to include a huge amount of features, allowing it to be on par feature-wise with iOS 4, but still run as fast as iOS 3. In addition it is customized to have the appearance of iOS 4, and even includes features that 4 doesn't have.

Whited00r is very easy to install, and is completely free. I recently discovered it while looking into making my old 3G usable again, and I've been fairly amazed by it. It really feels like a breath of fresh air compared to how my device used to be.

So, if you've got an old 3G that you want to put to use again, put Whited00r on it!

Here's a basic list of the features:

• Multitasking (iOS 4 style)
• Folders (iOS 4 style)
• Homescreen Wallpaper (iOS 4 style)
• Jailbroken with Cydia for additional apps (installing these will slow down device)
• Battery Percentage
• MMS (Multi-Media Messaging)
• Tethering via Bluetooth and USB
• Tap-to-Focus (Camera)
• Emoji Icons
• Search in Page (Safari)
• Flash Enabler (works for certain video sites in Safari)
• Configurator (greatly speeds up device by removing unnecessary background software, and frees up additional space by removing unnecessary files)
• Pre-Unlocked!
• Fully Customized Firmware Greatly Speeds up Device!

Whited00r is also available for the iPhone 2G, and the iPod Touch 1G and 2G.
