It may or may not work on other Nexus 7 variants (2012, 2013 LTE, etc.). Your mileage may differ from mine. Also note this is for the Kitkat image as the Lollipop images seem to have broken WN722N support. Also take note this is for the KitKat release and NOT for the Lollipop release.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of you might be into mobile penetration testing and use a Nexus 7 for that. Some of you may come across the issue that after upgrading to the latest Kali Linux 2.0, or in this case, Nethunter 2.0, on your Nexus 7, connecting an external WiFi adapter such as the cheap but efficient TP-Link TL-WN722N no longer works. Some might suggest trying to fire up aircrack-ng to &#39;force&#39; the interface up but if you check your dmesg logs, you will not see it connected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My guess is the kernel does not recognize it. Now running Kali Linux 2.0 on a VM under OSX or Windows 8.1 for that matter, it works flawlessly without a hitch. After all, Nethunter 2.0 is based on Kali Linux 2.0 right? Unfortunately, not on the Nexus 7 at least for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fix? Just open up the Nethunter launcher on your homescreen, select the first option which is to run the terminal window. You should have root access automatically. If this is the first time you do this, SuperSU or Superuser should prompt you for root rights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once in the terminal just do a &quot;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;apt-get install firmware-atheros&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&quot;. This will grab the Atheros chipset modules and allow them to be loaded onto the kernel. For your information, the WN722N runs on the ath9k_htc module. After finished installing this package, unplug your TL-WN722N and replug it and do a &quot;iwconfig&quot; to confirm it lives. If it doesn&#39;t, try unplugging and re-plugging it again or reboot your Nexus 7. It should work by now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As of today, people are still recovering from the earthquake and tsunami and at the same time having control of the nuclear situation in Fukushima Daiichi plant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I was on Twitter today, I stumbled across a picture of Ultraman and the tsunami. Where as a local Malaysian newspaper called Berita Harian decipits a controversial and insensitive cartoon of Ultraman running away from the tsunami, this picture that I came across was done right. You can compare them below.&lt;br /&gt;

Please take note that a majority of the Malaysian people have reacted very strongly to this cartoon. The cartoon is in no way represent the feelings of Malaysians.&lt;br /&gt;

It shows Ultraman saving people from the tsunami. Such cartoons aims to improve and promote hope to the Japanese people to never give up hope in the face of danger.

If you don&#39;t know what root is, you shouldn&#39;t be messing with your N900 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Replace the file in /usr/lib/browser/plugins with the file found &lt;a href=&quot;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4815558/libflashplayer.so&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Make sure that you already do a backup of the Flash 9 plugin and maybe move it to /opt to save some valuable space (note that the /usr resides in a paltry 256MB partition as opposed to your /home partition on the Nokia N900).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also please take note that this plugin is BETA and is not hardware accelerated hence it will drain your battery rapidly.&lt;br /&gt;

Sometimes even though you have OpenSSH configured properly and have Automatic SSH installed on your iPhone, you may tend to lose SSH connectivity to your phone. As such is the world of IT ;-) especially when you get hit with a virus or some other program tend to screw your phone up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can always reinstall OpenSSH and Automatic SSH but the fix is lost after a reboot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can try the following to see if that restores your SSH before actually doing a hard reset or restore&lt;i&gt; (if you never restored your phone before ... you are in for a long journey ... for me I did it way too many times in January 2011).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ikey.bbot.plist&lt;br /&gt;
rm /bin/poc-bbot&lt;br /&gt;
rm /bin/sshpass&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You can also try doing the following. Make sure you are root before doing this and that you already have MobileTerminal installed. As a practice and as an iPhone power user, ALWAYS install MobileTerminal as the first non-Cydia stock apps. And personally for me, I payed for an application called iFile (yes ... I know there are cracked versions but if you don&#39;t support good developers, you are just going to waste their efforts!) which made navigation and editing 10x easier!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edit &lt;b style=&quot;color: #660000;&quot;&gt;/etc/ssh/sshd_config&lt;/b&gt; and change the line&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
from&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;code&gt;#ClientAliveInterval 0&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;code&gt;ClientAliveInterval 60&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to man sshd_config, this line,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sets  a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received  from the client, sshd(8) will send a message through the encrypted  channel to request a response from the client. The default is 0,  indicating that these messages will not be sent to the client. This  option applies to protocol version 2 only.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Restart the sshd daemon or better yet, reboot your iPhone for it to take effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck!</description><link>http://nthane.blogspot.com/2011/02/ssh-not-working-on-iphone.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nickelby)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608964.post-460009947664994515</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-02T22:30:41.385+08:00</atom:updated><title>Jailbreaking the iPhone 3G/3GS with iOS v4.0.1 and new bootrom</title><description>First, open up Safari on your iPhone and go to http://www.jailbreakme.com OR http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com.

&lt;br /&gt;
sudo kernel-config load lv&lt;br /&gt;
sudo kernel-config limits 250 805 (if you want your min speed to 250mhz and max to 805mhz. I did mine with 250 and 1150 with no ill-effects atm)&lt;br /&gt;
sudo kernel-config save lv8&lt;br /&gt;
sudo kernel-config load lv8&lt;br /&gt;
sudo kernel-config default lv8&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To modify the swappiness of the Nokia N900 which at default is 100 (60 or 30 seems to be the sweet spot for some), do the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. EDIT /etc/init.d/rcS&lt;br /&gt;
2. Look for the value 100 for swappiness (it has /proc in it) and change the value 100 to value 60 or 30.&lt;br /&gt;
3, SAVE the file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
just like  crying, in the middle of a smile smeared with perspiration&lt;br /&gt;
no one can  be recognised&lt;br /&gt;
thats why i don&#39;t know about your tears&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
its  still burning, lighting up my heart&lt;br /&gt;
i recieved from you the tender  light, proof of unconditional love&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
while being enveloped by the  gentle spot under the sun, i whisper into your back&lt;br /&gt;
even if a day  like this comes again&lt;br /&gt;
surely, surely, surely, you would be able to  understand&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
vanishing and blooming, this year too the flower bud  is waiting for me&lt;br /&gt;
the petal dancing in the wind that my palm can&#39;t  grasp&lt;br /&gt;
stops on the shoulder lightly&lt;br /&gt;
skillfully riding it and  showing a smile, i remember you by myself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the valley of  buildings, sometimes buried dreams bud too&lt;br /&gt;
isn&#39;t that what makes  flowers bloom? you can&#39;t choose where your dreams will blossom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the  silhouettes we dropped on this town, they&#39;re all looking for the light&lt;br /&gt;
even  as time overlaps and flows over itself&lt;br /&gt;
surely, surely, surely the  day we grow out of this will come&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
on the breezeless track, the  beautiful sky of may feels blue and lonely&lt;br /&gt;
the motionless scattered  clouds will always be floating&lt;br /&gt;
there is no place i can return to  anymore&lt;br /&gt;
this is the way i am, in the whispering wind it dances to the  ground with a flash, my tears&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
almost scattering, the re-opening  petals are like you&lt;br /&gt;
giving time and again to these hands that grasp  at the silent encouragements&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
vanishing and blooming, this year  too the flower bud is waiting for me&lt;br /&gt;

That evening, a severe earthquake struck  Niigata and                    devastated the Village, causing almost all of its  homes to collapse,                    including the one where Mari lived. During the quake  the newborn                    puppies were jolted away from their mother, and since  their                    eyes were still closed, they could not find their way  back to                    her side. Also, because she was bound by a leash, Mari  could                    not reach her babies. She tried repeatedly to pull  free from                    the leash, but to no avail. Then, several tremors  occurred and                    Mari tried even harder to break free until her neck  began to                    bleed. Suddenly, another strong aftershock struck,  Mari struggled                    with all her might, and the collar suddenly came  loose. Next                    she quickly picked up her puppies, moved them to a  safe place,                    and without taking a rest ran toward the ruins that  were once                    her house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Courageous rescue of grandfather&lt;/h4&gt;The grandfather of Mari’s family was home alone that day. He lived  on the   second floor, but suffered from a neurological disorder that made it   impossible for him to stand on his feet or climb the stairs unassisted.    After the earthquake, the old man was immobilized as he had been  trapped   beneath a wardrobe. Aftershocks and the total darkness resulting from a    power outage pushed him into desperately thinking that death might be  around   the corner. Just then, Mari appeared in his room on the second floor  and   looked at him with encouraging eyes. The grandfather had been slipping  into   unconsciousness, but when he saw Mari he regained awareness although he  was   still immobilized. Mari then licked him to give him encouragement and  went   downstairs several times to check on her pups before quickly returning  to   the man’s room. She ran back and forth many times even though her paws  had   been injured by the sharp-edged glass and pieces of porcelain that lay  all   over the floor. Each trip gave her new wounds, but Mari managed to  kindle   new hope in the grandfather’s heart, and looking at Mari he thought, “I  must   live on. I cannot give up,” Finally, he pushed at the wardrobe with all  his   strength, it gave way and he managed to free himself. Then with Mari&#39;s   encouragement, the grandfather spent two hours climbing down the  stairs—a   feat he had previously been unable to accomplish without help. Upon  reaching   the ground floor, he was happy to find that the three puppies were safe  and   sound. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A sad parting and further ordeals&lt;/h4&gt;After the October 23, 2004 earthquake Yamakoshi Village was  in a              state of total destruction and isolation as all local roads  had been              cut off. And with a continuous series of aftershocks  increasing the              danger of landslides, on October 25 all the villagers were  evacuated              by helicopter to a nearby accommodation center. Under these  circumstances,              the grandfather was forced to leave Mari behind for in times  of disaster              saving human lives is the main concern. He left all of his  pet food              for his beloved dog, prayed that she and her pups would be  safe and              took off her collar. Then, with no other options, as he  boarded the              helicopter to leave behind the one who had saved his life,  he said              with guilt and sadness, &quot;I’m very sorry, Mari,&quot; and              felt heart-broken as Mari howled in deep sorrow. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img height=&quot;272&quot; src=&quot;http://magazine.godsdirectcontact.net/english/160/images/an1-1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt; As time passed and her supply of rations ran out, Mari had to search              for food in her abandoned village, suffering many ordeals as  she tried              to protect her little puppies. All the while the grandfather  thought              of her constantly, and with anxiety over the continuing  tremors fell              ill and had to be hospitalized. Then two weeks after the  evacuation,              the villagers were allowed to return to Yamakoshi to see  their homes.              Among the returnees was the man’s son, who immediately began               to search for Mari. Upon finding her, he noticed that she  was much              thinner, and she hesitated for an instant after hearing her  name but              then dashed toward him. He held her close in his arms for a  long time.              Mari had not had enough food for herself, but she fed her  babies milk              and took care of them as well as she could. In contrast to  their skinny              mother, the three puppies looked chubby and healthy as they  slept              sweetly on the porch. The son was delighted to see the  little pups              growing up in good health.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;right&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;width: 244px;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;               &lt;td width=&quot;240&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;232&quot; src=&quot;http://magazine.godsdirectcontact.net/english/160/images/an1-2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;233&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;             &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Before Yamakoshi Village was reconstructed, the villagers  remained              in temporary housing in a neighboring city. Being in charge  of advertising              affairs for the village committee, the son was a busy man so  he placed              Mari and her puppies in the care of another family. When the  grandfather              was still in the hospital, Mari&#39;s caretaker took her to  visit him.              Thus, after undergoing countless trials, Mari and the old  man were              finally reunited. Mari was very happy to see the man, who  was recuperating              and said with quivering lips and tears filling his eyes,  &quot;Thank              you for saving my life.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Then in April 2005 the grandfather was discharged from the hospital  and   began living with his son and Mari in an apartment. By that time Mari&#39;s    three puppies had been adopted by other families and were growing up   healthily in their new homes. Today, the grandfather and his family are    still living in the apartment but look forward to returning soon to   Yamakoshi Village.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Fireworks for Mari&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; height=&quot;412&quot; src=&quot;http://magazine.godsdirectcontact.net/english/160/images/an1-4-160.jpg&quot; width=&quot;297&quot; /&gt;Mari’s touching              story, which illustrates the mutual trust and love between  humans              and animals that helps them through ordeals, has frequently  been reported              in the news media and has also been adapted as an  illustrated storybook              —&lt;i&gt;&lt;span ?font-family:=&quot;&quot; color:=&quot;&quot; new=&quot;&quot; red?=&quot;&quot; roman;=&quot;&quot; times=&quot;&quot;&gt; Mari of              Yamakoshi Village and Her Three Pups&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. The book  has received              a huge response in Japan and serves as a great inspiration  for disaster              victims. The company that published the volume is  contributing part              of its sales revenues to the reconstruction and relief funds  for areas              affected by the October 2004 earthquake, and distributes the  book              free of charge to children in Yamakoshi Village and its  thirteen neighboring              cities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h5&gt;On August 2, 2005, the villagers held a fireworks celebration  in their              city of refuge just as they do in their home town each year,  and this              year event was entitled “Fireworks for Mari.” While  participating              in the festivity they wished that Yamakoshi Village could be  recovered              as quickly as possible. Amid the dazzling light and smoke of  the fireworks,              Mari&#39;s radiant smile seemed to fill the night sky, bringing  hope and              encouragement to the spectators.&lt;img align=&quot;texttop&quot; height=&quot;21&quot; src=&quot;http://magazine.godsdirectcontact.net/english/160/images/end.gif&quot; width=&quot;23&quot; /&gt;</description><link>http://nthane.blogspot.com/2010/07/inspiring-story-of-mari-and-her-puppies.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nickelby)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608964.post-3007372008292415505</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jul 2010 09:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-07-05T17:18:48.802+08:00</atom:updated><title>Nokia N900 Virtual Keyboard Missing</title><description>If you&#39;re like me, always fooling around with packages from the extras and the extras-devel repositories, you may have come across packages that enables you to input native Eastern languages on the N900.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, installing SCIM for Nokia N900 will cause one annoying issue which is in place of your new CJK capabilities, you will lose the default virtual keyboard. Enabling and re-enabling it works for some but not all. I am in the latter group. My fix? Well after scouting off the forums and Internet for pr0n, I came across this solution :-)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. DELETE &quot;/etc/event.d/scim&quot; if it exists&lt;br /&gt;
2. RUN &quot;/usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 &amp;gt; /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
3. Finally run &quot;rm -f /home/user/.cache/launch/com.nokia.controlpanel.pvr&quot; if you still see it appears for a while in the SETTINGS menu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Linux, anything is possible ^_^ otherwise the Mac OSx will never base its kernel off the Unixes would it? ;-)</description><link>http://nthane.blogspot.com/2010/07/nokia-n900-virtual-keyboard-missing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nickelby)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608964.post-6714645887087067686</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-21T10:31:12.226+08:00</atom:updated><title>Japanese New Year Celebrations in Japan Club, Kuala Lumpur</title><description>These pictures were taken with an iPhone 3G on the 16 January 2010 at the Japan Club, Taman Seputeh, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on the occasion of the Japanese New Year celebrations.

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a64d79; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;* UPDATE #6 April 2015 : i-Keyhole TV works on jailbroken iOS devices up to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a64d79; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;iOS 8.1.2. However, that being said, to successfully stream live videos on your iDevices, you are now required to have a premium subscription that costs USD 5 per 30 days if I remembered correctly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #a64d79; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;. The easiest way to add the latest version of i-Keyhole TV is to add the repository &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oiseyer.com/ios5/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19.200000762939453px;&quot;&gt;http://www.oiseyer.com/ios5/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19.200000762939453px;&quot;&gt;&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a64d79;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the Cydia sources.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;*UPDATE #5 December 2011 : This works with iDevices with 5.0.1 untethered jailbreaks on them. I have tested it on an iPad1 and iPhone 4. Maybe when the A5 jailbreak comes out, you guys can update me that it works on iPhone 4S and iPad2 :-) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;*UPDATE #4 July 2011 : This also works on jailbroken 4.3.3 with either jailbreakme.com, redsn0w or pwnageTool (thanks to the feedback of Mongrul who tested it on ipod4thg). Maybe I should start testing it on iOS 5.0 beta 2 since I have a developer&#39;s account ^^&#39; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;* UPDATE #3 April 2011 : This works on jailbroken 4.3.1 with either redsn0w or pwnageTool. I have also included the new KeyholeTV site where you can get all the latest releases of KeyholeTV for Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, Windows Mobile and finally the iPhone. Bear in mind that the iPhone version still requires you to SSH into your phone and manually install it. There is no DEB nor Cydia repository for this yet. Here is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oiseyer.com/index3.html&quot;&gt;LINK&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #a64d79;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;* UPDATE #2  March 2011 : Myrepospace.com is being bitchy again as people are seeing  connections errors when using the Cydia repository method to get  i-Keyhole on their iDevices. I have included a link to a DEB file. Basic  instructions are down below.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;* UPDATE #1 February 2011 : I have added a Cydia repository for this to work so you don&#39;t need to have AppSync to install it ^_^&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is for everyone who wanted to know where to get i-Keyhole TV for the iPhone. Click on the image to go to the page to download the IPA file (it&#39;s in Japanese but it&#39;s pretty easy to know what to do ;-))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.todaylookup.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-keyhole-tv-beta.html&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_uhmyGtONQf6pI0KuxUL3O3IDK9fY-NF1fI0vIJi8LQHxOa5GLlAZALaIgkV20Apv1m5ltYfOXGypkx0gvkMz-17Ki1brebGD7S3M10phOqeKaMyOS4V-ja0DYiAJUKa2BvL/s320/keyholetv.jpg&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418655403603090018&quot; style=&quot;display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 214px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another way which is so much easier is to add a Cydia repository link. Here&#39;s the link : &lt;a href=&quot;http://cydia.myrepospace.com/bagsac/&quot;&gt;http://cydia.myrepospace.com/bagsac/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet another way is to install via apt-get. Fire up MobileTerminal or SSH into your iPhone whichever is convenient for you. Ensure you are root and issue the following command at the command prompt &quot;dpkg -i filename.deb&quot; . The KeyholeTV DEB file can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.4shared.com/get/qzSMSNIZ/i-keyholetv.html&quot;&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://nthane.blogspot.com/2009/12/keyhole-tv-for-iphone.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nickelby)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_uhmyGtONQf6pI0KuxUL3O3IDK9fY-NF1fI0vIJi8LQHxOa5GLlAZALaIgkV20Apv1m5ltYfOXGypkx0gvkMz-17Ki1brebGD7S3M10phOqeKaMyOS4V-ja0DYiAJUKa2BvL/s72-c/keyholetv.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>21</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608964.post-109706699329974616</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Oct 2004 12:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2004-10-06T20:50:05.236+08:00</atom:updated><title>New Life ...</title><description>Hello all, this is my first attempt in doing a blog site.
