The Apple Wiki:Community portal

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)

Boot-args cleanup
We need to clean up the boot-args pages. First the technical part: What I understand is that iBoot loads the kernel. And when loading it, it can pass some parameters to select certain behavior. So this only works with an iBoot or bootrom exploit. I understand that in earlier firmware versions there was simply an iBoot variable, but that doesn't exist or work anymore, now passing theses args requires a different or patched iBoot. There are various parameters in different kernel versions. The description for these arguments is scattered over various places: So what do we want to do about this mess? I suggest to move the current Kernel content to the redirect page Boot arguments (or to another new page, maybe boot-args). The current content of Boot-args (iBoot variable) and all other content should get merged into there. Then change all references to this new page and on the Kernel page write just something short with "main article there". What do you think? --http (talk) 21:31, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Kernel A section with the latest boot arguments list. This should be a short introduction and having a link "main article".
 * Boot-args (iBoot variable) separate page for boot arguments, but mainly for the iBoot variable that doesn't exist any longer
 * [ Boot arguments] (redirect)
 * Talk:Restore_Mode describing the iBoot variable problem
 * Various pages referencing boot-args, like Research: Re-allowing unsigned ramdisks and boot-args with the 2.* iBoot (here we should have a link on the second title)
 * My earlier comment Talk:Kernel
 * This comment here.
 * I like Boot Arguments. --5urd (talk) 02:01, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * One addition: Maybe we should use boot-args as the main page, because all links are written like that. --http (talk) 07:37, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

The iPhone Wiki re-design
The design of the iPhone wiki is now quite old and I think it should be updated. I made a concept. --Jaggions (talk) 10:30, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree. If anything add an iPhone 5 to the logo but everything else is ok. --adaminsull (talk) 11:05, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't change the logo to an iPhone 5, especially with iOS 7 and a new iPhone (that will probably look the same as the 5, admittedly) around the corner. I contemplated updating the CSS for iOS 7's UI but decided not to because of the UI's supposed volatility (during the beta period) and I don't have a live version to toy around with. (I personally don't like its current state, but that's not a factor in why I'm not changing it yet.) -- Dialexio ( talk ) 16:25, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Can we not do flat? --Haifisch (talk) 21:02, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * This is what I was thinking. When iOS 7 finally comes out, we could change the CSS to look like that instead. --5urd (talk) 21:11, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * iOS 7 looks ugly. We do not want it like that. Maybe a bit more modern but nothing much. --adaminsull (talk) 21:16, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * You may not want it like that. That's your opinion. --5urd (talk) 01:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * We could make a poll, and see if most users agree or disagree. --Jaggions (talk) 10:05, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The idea looks nice. But before we make any changes, let's wait until iOS7 comes out. And I'd prefer to just add another skin instead (if possible). I'm still using the classic MonoBook skin by the way. You shouldn't impose design changes to everyone. --http (talk) 14:38, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The problem with skins is that geohot needs to set them up... An idea I have is that we copy the Vector skin verbatim to a new skin and move the modifications (not general stuff) to Mediawiki:iOS6.css. Then we can do another verbatim copy to   and modify Mediawiki:iOS7.css. We could then set the default skin to either   or   so you don't need to be logged in to see them like currently. Then if someone doesn't like them, like you, just change your settings to your preferred skin. The only way around needing geohot is if he opens up the credentials to FTP or whatever to someone. --5urd (talk) 21:17, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I like 5urd's suggestion. --adaminsull (talk) 22:29, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Dump page
I have been thinking, should we make Dump to list N88ap/Device_Tree etc? We seem to have quite a few dumps but it seems silly not to have them all on one page. What do you all think? --adaminsull (talk) 17:01, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Hacker page
hello i would like to be added to the group of hackers for my work with the private dev team and chronic dev team. as well as my release of the phoenix semi untethered --Ph0enix (talk) 18:36, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Did you find any exploits? --Haifisch (talk) 18:54, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * no phyrrus9 a team member of mine found the vulnerability however i am the one who implemented it. --Ph0enix (talk)
 * I can back up this "claim". I was a part of it. --5urd (talk) 20:52, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Dealing with the "nobborderplz" problem
I think I have a solution to the problem of having to add the  to nearly everything [spanning more than one row where the last span row is the last table row]. JavaScript! It's so simple! Essentially, all we would need to do is check each cell and if there is a rowspan that is equal to or more than the amount of rows underneath it minus 1. If there is, the JavaScript could just add a  class to it. --5urd (talk) 20:52, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes! I installed Greasemonkey (Tampermonkey on Chrome), and I've managed to write a script that will insert the  for us! I just need to tweak it a bit, and then I'll add it to Vector.js (iOS specific skin) --5urd (talk) 01:23, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
