No title

Well I just wanted to let you know that (as you can see) we have a new header thanks to Flo. Don't ask me why there's a white line next to it ..it's just the way blogspot resizes pictures and I'm too lazy to edit the html again.

Second I wanted to give credit to Lucian, he's the one that told me how to modify the volume limit on ipods.

I might write an article later on today. Cheers

Modifying iPod Volume Limit

Disclaimer: What I do is on my own risk and expense. Please don't take what you read here as foolproof, because it's far from it. Messing around with software and hardware may have undesirable side-effects such as unwanted children, anorexia, rigor mortis, earthquakes, etc.

LE: This procedure only works for jailbroken iPods.
Ipods destined for the EU have a preset for volume limiting. You can't access it and it's designed to protect your ears/brain/family. But for those of us who don't care about any of those things here's how to disable the limiter.

First you'll need Total Commander. Then you'll need a plugin called T-poT. Then you'll need to install the plugin. To do this, extract the plugin into the Total Commander folder. Then go into TC->-configuration-options-plugins-file system .wfx and you add the plugin there.

Now connect your ipod. Using total commander go to network places and there you should see the files on your ipod. ( By the way ..before doing this you could go to folder options in control panel and select to view hidden and system files and folders).
Now follow this path: tpot/system/library/privateframeworks/celestialframework/RegioanalVolumeLimits.plist
RegioanalVolumeLimits.plist is the only file you need to modify. You copy it onto your hard drive, open it with notepad and replace the value : 0.aaaa ( where aaa is whatever ) and replace it with 1. Then copy it back to the ipod, overwriting the original. Disconnect the iPod and restart it.
That's it ..and it should be about 20% louder. Cheers
