Christmas updates

Sorry for not posting for a while - I've been busy with A levels and launching my local business, iRepairIT.

Shameless plug: iRepairIT fixes your tech, from phones to laptops, routers to printers. I'm still working on a website, using the excellent Punch framework by laktek, but I have a Facebook page!

I guess you may be wondering what happened to the iPhone Lumia project I started this blog with. Well, everything is almost finished, just need to get it painted up with some good 'ol car spraypaint. However, I've decided to keep my iPhone's design intact, and install a transparent back, a dark chrome midframe, and of course, the glowing Apple logo. Even so though, I'll post a couple of pictures with the Lumia shell on the iPhone, but as a project, its unfortunately gone stale.

 As a bit of a side project though, I'm looking into decompiling the iOS kernel, finding the stub that prevents writing the hw.cpufrequency sysctl stub, and then patching it to be able to be written. Then, overclocking should work - the fstab method will just cause filesystem errors, and won't do anything. No guarantees though, since I've never done this sort of thing before. If it does work though, I'll be releasing the patch on my github for everyone to use.

Happy Christmas!
