I managed to get Kno Textbooks, The Daily and Catalogue running on my iphone 4. I am down to having 2 Ipad apps left, gilt and carzen, those dont work with the method I used.

To get the other 3 working I did the following:

1) Download the Ipad app within itunes
2) Navigate to the "Mobile Applications" folder within your itunes library and rename the .ipa file to .zip.
3) Open up the zip file go into the Payload folder and drag the appname.app folder to desktop / another folder.
4) Using ifunbox copy the extracted folder to the /var/stash/applications folder
5) in ifile navigate to the same folder, click the blue arrow to the right of the folder you copied over. make sure owner is root,group is wheel and the permissions are set to 755.
ie: Owner: read, write, execute. Group: read, execute. Other: read, execute.
6) Go into the folder, look for the executable (named the same as the folder usually) and change the owner and permissions to the same as you did with the folder in step 5.
7) Respring and the app should be there.

For the 3 apps mentioned about they all ran with limited functionality doing this and worked well enough for freemyapps to recognise them. Carzen and Gilt for ipad just sit on a black screen using this method.

Note, doing the above with the folders fernas uploaded will still result in them not running as he editted the plist for the apps.

Just to show I did get them run them, here is all I have left.

this method worked for heystacks as well

I wish he'd free more stuff.......

[vinaygoel2000]

Yea. Haven't seen anything new in like 2 weeks.

[bod69]

He tweeted last night about new sponsors coming, hinting at deals on friday again. Although, he hinted at new sponsors a couple times the last couple of weeks and none appeared.

YES!! New sponsor apps today!
Look at his latest tweet
“@FreeMyApps: The more apps we free this weekend the more sponsor apps we'll get. A lot of big devs coming so let's show them what we can do!”

[bod69]

He tweeted 6 hours ago about a new sponsor app being available called freeway solitaire however this doesnt display on mine, all I see new is another ipad app. Lts try to see if we can get it running using hte previoius method.

[vinaygoel2000]

I downloaded it but haven't received credits yet. It's been over 6 hours and now I dont see the app anymore.

UPDATE: Got 150 credits.

FreeMyApps
Credits are on their way and Fairway Solitaire is back! Time to free those apps, sorry for the delay!

He tweeted the above about 20 minutes ago, If you managed to see that and buy it the points should appear soon. Hopefully it will appar for those of us that cant see it soon.

As for the new ipad app I have seen (Newsy), I have tried installing it on my 4s, the app runs and sits with a black screen. on the 5th attempt to run it asked if I wanted to accept notifications. No credit as yet. It could be like a couple of the previous ipad apps where you had to keep loading it a gazillion times on the black screen before it credited.

I've tried running it over a dozen times to get nowhere
tell me if you can get the black screen to count as it being open....

i already ran the iphone one =)

About to try the ipad fairway shortly.. The iphone one appeared and I got credit pretty quickly. I find it funny that the ipad version is 200mb smaller than the iphone one.

I think has has put some more gift apps up,. or at least thers a few I dont recall sitting there.. Like Smash Cops. He has Tintin and Gamgstar Miami up as weekend special offers for 300 and 390 creds. Those are new also right? May have to get Gangstar as Im back over 1000 points and nothing really I want before this new stuff.

the two arent new today i know that, you just notice them now because they're on sale and arent way down on the list anymore.
TinTin might be new but i've seen smash cops for around 4 days that i can remember and the gangster one i've seen for over a month =)

and yeah i noticed that too xD i wonder why ipad version is smaller... ><

howd it work with the newsy app?


n lol its funny, i'll put my link up on a window on the train here and get like 1500 points in 10mins (after 10 mins the poster usually gets taken down xD)
made it easier for them to remember too, put my link through tinyurl and got the extention free-app6 so they can spread it too

havent tried ipad solitaire yet, playing with newsy still.. I can get the app to run and play vids each time.. After running when its on the black screen turn the phone into landscape mode and part of the screen appeared, turned back to portrait and watched a few cut off vids.. no credit for it yet though.. maybe it slow giving credit like the solitaire game was. ill keep watching silly news vids from E!

Guess I never noticed those other apps, I think ill take advantage of the weekend sale though.. if nothing new appears by sunday

alright thanks for the progress, i had mine on orientation lock
i'll see if i can go anywhere with it
and when it was slow with the credits it still got removed from the sponsor app screen so that might be worth checking.


Edit: alright so after some experimenting i got the solitaire one to work, im not sure how but it went through and i got my credits (weird because i tried it once, it failed so i went back to trying newsy) but either way, its confirmed working

as far as newsy goes, i've gotten it working but no success with it being recognized >.<

Fairway just crashes back to springboard after a few seconds for me, ill keep at it in case the 3 seconds i have a black screen it is actually loaded. A certain otehr ipad app did that.

I havent gotten credits for newsy yet however it just dissapeared from my app list, I only have fairway ipad and gilt ipad left.. So hopefully when I wake I will have the credits.

yeah for me fairway didnt load more than a couple seconds of blank screen for me but i got it =D

and my newsy dissappeared on me even though i wasnt trying to get it to run, although thats how i got fairway so who knows maybe it'll work


somebody needs to figure out how to checks if we've run the apps or not so we can spoof it, my 2nd gen ipod cant open ipad apps at all so lots of wasted points there.
and its annoying to see git ipad on my 4g ipod....

[bod69]

Well, I checked again after waking, Newsy is back in my list but Fairway Ipad is gone and I got he 150 credits for that. I guess newsy just doesnst want to put out, even though it runs and you sit and watch vids.. At leat it is only 75 creds and the 150 cred fairway ipad works.

Now to wait to see what he has in store for us today on funday friday lol.

success! i got the newsy one to pay out
tilted it in different ways to wake it up, put it on a video and left it running while i went to the store, so around 30 mins


i was sooo disappointed when i saw that gilt was on special for 225 >.<

[who]

Did ANYBODY get Gilt for iPad to work on the iPhone? Why talk about it if you guys can't get it to work? O.o It just crashes.
