iPhone 2G/iPod Touch 1G owners probably know that Apple has decided not to offer iOS 4.0 for these devices as well, so it will not be possible to install the new OS on these terminals, but for you there is an alternative materialized in a custom ipsw modified to be as close as possible to an iOS 4.0 firmware.

This custom firmware is based on a version of firmware 3.1.3 that contains many changes both aesthetic and functional, which are meant to bring it as close as possible to the look and functionality of iOS 4.0, but in the end it is only a modification and not an original 4.0 firmware. Here is what this modified firmware contains:

  • Jailbreak;
  • Hacktivation;
  • MMS function activated;
  • Tethering function activated;
  • Pre-installed iBlueTooth application;
  • Battery percentage display patch installed;
  • Tap to focus option activated;
  • Emoji emoticons for all keyboards;
  • Voice Control function installed;
  • Compass application installed;
  • Changing the writing so that it shows that it is firmware 4.0;
  • The look of iOS 4.0;
  • The option to show or not the shadows of the icons in the Dock;
  • Possibility to change the background without installing Winterboard or Bosspaper.
