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.

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)

More Esser Info
i0nic's slides from his CanSecWest presentation have been released. Where should we link to them from? --beej 17:38, 17 March 2012 (MDT)

iPhone-Elite
I think we should include all this old stuff before it gets lost: code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/. I mean the wiki articles there. Most infos should be already here, but I'm sure a lot of things are missing too. --http 15:02, 26 June 2012 (MDT)
 * I agree. But I don't want to flood anymore. --5urd 16:27, 23 August 2012 (MDT)

iPhone 5
On the AnandTech report on the iPhone 5, it has two model numbers listed:  for   and   for. This leads me to beleive there is a GSM model and a Global model. This would explain the  that the websites are reporting. The  is the Global model and   would be the GSM model. Is there anything definative? --5urd 12:57, 17 September 2012 (MDT)
 * I haven't seen any information about what's what, except for A1428 and A1429 corresponding to the GSM (North American?) and "Global" models. -- Dialexio 14:32, 20 September 2012 (MDT)

iPhone 4
What is ? Is that the 8GB version? If so, we should add it to Firmware. --5urd 11:30, 20 September 2012 (MDT)
 * The iOS 6.0 IPSW for the iPhone3,2 suggests that the n90bap comes in 8 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB flavors. I still don't know what it is though. I've held off on adding this (as well as the iPhone 5) to the Firmware page for now because I feel that we need to decide on how to refer to them first. -- Dialexio 14:32, 20 September 2012 (MDT)
 * So if it is iPhone3,2, then it is definitely an iPhone 4. But what it is truly is unknown as of now. However, I see 8, 16, and 32. Not 64 version:

SystemPartitionPadding n90b 16         160          32          320          8          80 It also appears to run on A4, the same one that the other iPhone 4's ran on: Platform s5l8930x That also means it is jailbreakable ATM. I wasn't able to find anything else interesting in the. --5urd 20:08, 20 September 2012 (MDT)
 * I wouldn't say with certainty that it's jailbreakable. Apple could have pushed a bootrom update with the iPhone3,2. (All iPhone 3GS units have the S5L8920, and there are two different bootrom revisions for it.) -- Dialexio 22:32, 20 September 2012 (MDT)

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)

I know this is an old topic that was already decided on, but it came to my attention a couple of days ago that Apple refers to this iPad 2 revision as "iPad 2 Wi-Fi (Rev A)" (at least their iPhone Developer Center). I'd like to propose (gradually?) changing all references to this. -- Dialexio 19:37, 16 September 2012 (MDT)

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)

I created more modifications that I'd like feedback on before the possibly get implemented. Both of these are meant to further help emulate the iOS look. I was thinking of giving the sidebar and header bar fixed positioning, so they stick around regardless of where you scroll. (Screenshot) I also created some CSS that makes some headers (particularly those on the Main Page and Special pages page) look like iOS… sections? (I don't recall the correct term for it.) Here's a screenshot since I suck at describing what I'm trying to say. :P Thoughts on these changes? -- Dialexio 19:39, 11 September 2012 (MDT)
 * They're section headers :) and they look great, but maybe some negative margins (like ) could be used to make them extend to the edge of the page area and look more iOS-y. The top bar could go well with some fixed positioning, but I don't think the sidebar should.  the  kirby  lover  19:51, 11 September 2012 (MDT)
 * I didn't really want the sidebar to be fixed either. However, the title bar actually stretches across the complete width of the page, and scrolling down on long pages can reveal that. Currently, that section of the title bar is hidden by applying the linen background to the logo, hence why I currently have the sidebar fixed. Any ideas on how deal with the title bar? -- Dialexio 13:04, 14 September 2012 (MDT)
 * One small issue I noticed with making the title bar fixed is that, when you click on an anchor link, the title bar will cover up the header for the section you're looking at (and some content as well). You can always scroll a little up to see what was being blocked though. To combat this problem, I entertained the idea of making just the area where page content is displayed the part that scrolls. I don't think that a lot of people (especially those with small screens) would like this change, so I'm expecting heavy criticism. I plan on using the previously-mentioned method for the fixed title bar instead of this newer method, unless everybody actually prefers the newer method. :P (Note that the scrolling area is not for the whole page, just the content area.) -- Dialexio 20:13, 16 September 2012 (MDT)
