5.x > 6.0 iPod Firmware Update

Mark Steiner — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 09:36:07 +0000

Some enterprising young hackers have managed to modify the 5.x iPod firmware to replicate the split screen GUI of the new iPod Classic. While the firmware update doesn’t add any extra functionality [ ie. Coverflow, new search, etc ], this was of particular interest to me as I had only just purchased a 80GB 5.5 [...]

A number of users have reported they have found the Toolbar Search field is disabled in recent builds of Shiira 2.0. Due to short post lengths, I could only add a shorter version of this to the official forum, so I wanted to repost it here with more detail for those that may have missed [...]

A public beta [ 2.0b1 ] of the upcoming version of Shiira was made available several months ago on the projects front page, offering the chance for everyone [ with Tiger ] to get up and personal with the new look and features.

This topic started off as a summary of outstanding bugs, to date, for the 1.2.2 release of Shiira, but a quick search of the Shiira forum produced a thorough and well thought out post from forum member ‘Brizon‘ covering almost every documented issue discovered by various forum members so far and although posted in January [...]
