The Apple Wiki:Community portal

This is the place to post tasks that need to be done on the wiki. Also this is the place for proposed changes. I heard about people wanting a favicon and arranging the main page into categories.

AcidSn0w
Can I propose a page for acidsn0w? I heard that there was stolen code, so I haven't posted. --Dylan Laws 17:02, 17 January 2012 (MST)
 * The first beta did use stolen code, but the second beta fixed that. As it is still in beta, a page may not be a good idea. It does have a good user-base as shown in their blog comments, but it is up to the sysops. If you are in the Pwn Dev Team, then NO. --5urd 17:09, 17 January 2012 (MST)
 * I am not in their team. :P I'll wait till/if they release it. --Dylan Laws 17:37, 17 January 2012 (MST)
 * I want to make something clear about this wiki, it's called "The iPhone Wiki", not "The iPhone Community Wiki", or even "The Jailbreaking Wiki". This site exists to document the iPhone, not who made what GUI. A jailbreak tool that doesn't introduce exploits or isn't very widely used isn't notable. To clarify, the Limera1n_Exploit page is far more valuable than the limera1n page. Please focus on adding technical content instead of thinly veiled advertisements. For example, it's appalling we don't have a page documenting ASLR --geohot 23:16, 17 January 2012 (MST)
 * I would also like to see the Baseband ticket system documented --geohot 14:48, 18 January 2012 (MST)

2.2b1
Is 2.2b1 5G26 or 5G27, because on Beta Firmware, it says 5G27 while on the previous revisions of VFDecrypt Keys is said 5G26 --5urd 18:47, 14 January 2012 (MST)

IMG3 File Key Grabbing
How does one grab the keys for the IMG3 files if they have a decrypted ramdisk? I have genpass, xpwn, and vfdecrypt, but what do I use to get keys for IMG3 files? --5urd 17:17, 2 February 2012 (MST)
 * Unlike the vfdecrypt key, the keys for decrypting the IMG3 are stored encrypted in the KBAG section of the IMG3 file itself, not the ramdisk. These keys are encrypted using the GID-key, so access to the AES engine is required. On a device compatible with greenpois0n or openiBoot, this process is (loosely) documented  here. I am working on implementing a method that can be performed on a jailbroken 4S or iPad 2 (is that is what you're looking for?) and will release when finished --0x56 20:12, 1 March 2012 (MST)
 * Yah, running greenpois0n is my problem. I cant find the program. --5urd 21:02, 1 March 2012 (MST)
 * I was mistaken, I won't be able to accomplish this for the 4S or iPad 2 due to a limitation that was not documented here --0x56 07:00, 5 March 2012 (MST)

iPad2,4
Should we call it  or   on the key pages? --5urd 18:59, 8 March 2012 (MST)
 * Personally, I like how "iPad 2 Wi-Fi S5L8942" sounds more. It could be truncated to "iPad 2 S5L8942" or something if people think the name is too long. -- Dialexio 20:07, 8 March 2012 (MST)
 * I would not remove the Wi-Fi part, because if there's ever a 3G version, we would have to rename everything. I would prefer a shorter name like R2 or so. Also because S5L is the processor and not a public device name. Something official? Is there no statement from Apple yet? Maybe we should wait a few days until it's out? Or is there anything that can't wait so long? --http 00:18, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 * Apple's marketing it as the same old iPad 2. (Interestingly, Apple's online store does suggest that the all flavors of the iPad 2 have new model numbers.) Apple will still sell 3G versions of the iPad 2, but we haven't seen any "iPad2,5" firmware or something… Just the "iPad2,4." If the 3G iPads were receiving the S5L8942, their unique firmwares probably would've been pushed on http://itunes.com/version on Wednesday like all of the other devices. -- Dialexio 10:25, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 * I personally like R2 as it is shorter and easier to remember. I will change Template:Keys accordingly. --5urd 16:21, 9 March 2012 (MST)

Theme
Several people are compaining about the theming/style change 1 2. I wasn't involved in this change (except the new image), but I think there was no discussion about changing the default style. Can't we switch the default style back to how it was and for those that like a fancy new theme can still have the new one? -- http 16:37, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 * The way to add new themes would be to have access to the server. Thats why we did this. What we can do is get geohot to copy Vector.php, Vector.deps.php, and Vector/ to iPhone.php, iPhone.deps.php, and iPhone/ and modify some variables. I can do that. Then just move Mediawiki:Vector.css to Mediawiki:iPhone.css. --5urd 17:05, 9 March 2012 (MST)
 * Second this. In fact, seeing as it'll have the same base html/css/js as vector, geohot can copy Vector.deps.php&rarr;iPhone.deps.php, save this to iPhone.php, put $wgDefaultSkin="iphone"; in LocalSettings.php and then move the css the  kirby  lover  02:01, 13 March 2012 (MDT)
 * As I've tweeted about since last night, I decided to give the current iOS-like theme a bit of a makeover. Here's how it looks in Chromium. The theme also works in Firefox for Windows, except the left navigation tabs aren't shifted closer to the center. I haven't gotten around to testing it in other browsers just yet, unfortunately. Thoughts on this? -- Dialexio 18:32, 12 March 2012 (MDT)
 * Looks great, though as I mentioned on twitter, the heading should be put somewhere in the title bar area so it looks more realistic. Maybe something similar to the "other network" window under Wi-Fi settings. the  kirby  lover  02:01, 13 March 2012 (MDT)
 * That'd be nice, but I don't want the page heading to overlap the tabs. -- Dialexio 13:46, 13 March 2012 (MDT)

I added my modifications to the theme. It works as desired in all (desktop) browsers except IE… I'll make an attempt at improving the theme in IE 7/+. -- Dialexio 21:05, 8 April 2012 (MDT)
 * Looking great :) I tested in IE8 and 9, doesn't look too bad, barring the unselected tabs due to the solid background; you can use the longer filter/-ms-filter syntax like so for IE gradients the  kirby  lover  09:06, 15 April 2012 (MDT)

iPad 3
I opened up the Build Manifest on the iPad3,2 firmware and it says it is j2ap. The iPad3,3 firmware says j2aap. j1ap is correct for the Wi-Fi version. So... what? --5urd 17:35, 9 March 2012 (MST)

Deletion Requests
Can we clean up the deletion requests category? --5urd 20:15, 10 March 2012 (MST)

Site problems, part deux
I'm noticing a lot of intermittent 500 errors again, anyone else notice this issue? Austen Frazier 08:15, 13 March 2012 (MDT)
 * Yep. The server is definitely choking, again. --beej 08:41, 13 March 2012 (MDT)
 * It seems much better, now. Anybody know what changed? Maybe the vm was moved to different host or another busy vm sharing this host was moved off? --beej 08:20, 16 April 2012 (MDT)
 * I think it's time to move skin assets to a cdn like Amazon for speed (like Wikipedia's bits.wikimedia.org) and use a better cache like memcached. the  kirby  lover  17:49, 13 March 2012 (MDT)

more Esser info to integrate
i0nic's slides from his CanSecWest presentation have been released. Where should we link to them from? http://antid0te.com/CSW2012_StefanEsser_iOS5_An_Exploitation_Nightmare_FINAL.pdf --beej 17:38, 17 March 2012 (MDT)
