Android on iPhone
Posted by Mr. IT Guy | Filed under Android, Howto, IT in General, Linux, Microsoft, Review, iPhone
To spare typing and posting time, I’ll post the link to the guide that I followed:
http://www.idroidproject.org/wiki/Installing_iDroid_(Linux)
That link is actually for a Linux, so I uses VirtualBox and a Linux (Ubuntu) image file. From there I followed most part of the guide.
However I’ll post my observation (on 2G):
- It’s running way too sluggish
- Call sometimes doesn’t work (stuck at the calling, but not really dialing)
- Phone becomes really warm and battery drain is too much
- There’s not enough button
- Overall condition is not really usable for daily use
Couple notes:
- If Wifi connects but browser not going anywhere, try the DNS fix
- All “adb” type commands require the download of SDK
- If Virtual Box can’t connect to the iPhone when doing the ‘./oibc’ portion, you may need to shut down and restart your virtual machine (including the Virtual Box itself)
- Going to Apple’s recovery mode (for upgraders) from the openiboot would require you to hold the “Menu” button after choosing the iPhone mode
Post comments for questions and help on how to install iDroid.
HOWTO: Backup and Restore Cydia Apps
Posted by Mr. IT Guy | Filed under IT in General
This guide is geared for people who wants to upgrade to the newer version of iPhone firmware, but have too much Cydia based apps to reinstall.
- To make life easier, move Cydia out of Categories or unhide it
- SSH into your iPhone and run the following command:
dpkg --get-selections > installed.packages
- Transfer the file you just created (installed.packages) to another system/location (I SFTP it into a linux box)
- Upgrade your phone and use quickpwn
- Reinstall openSSH from Cydia
- SSH into your iPhone and get the “installed.package” file
- Run the following command:
dpkg --set-selections < installed.packages; dselect
- Run the following command:
apt-get dselect-upgrade - After everything is completed, run the command:
reboot
HOWTO: Outlook Error Message “A secure connection to the server cannot be established.”
Posted by Mr. IT Guy | Filed under Howto, IT in General, Microsoft
I keep on receiving the following message “ERROR: ‘A secure connection to the server cannot be established.’” when trying to connect my Outlook 2007 to my mail server. I pulled my hair out thinking that Windows Vista/Microsoft Outlook certificate and trust setting is the problem. I stumbled onto a solution that finally solved it. The problem is my Courier IMAP server.
As it turns out, Outlook doesn’t support SSLv3. I had been using Thunderbird for the longest time without any problem, but since I had to test Outlook 2007 for business purposes.
To fix the issue, I changed my Courier IMAP setting from:
TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL3
to
TLS_PROTOCOL=SSL23
