Has anyone got this working yet? I read a few websites and they say to use iPhone configuration utility to add iMovie to the iPad but I can't get it to show up to install!

Also it says it needs os 4.2.6 so where is the plist file I need to change and how do I change it to work with 4.2.1??

Cheers

Wow fakeclockup is a little bastard it took me 3 hours to figure out that it was fucking up iMovie!!!

Theres an app on cydia for installing ipa files without iTunes, that's the easy way to get iMovie working

The hard way is editing a couple lines of code in the ipa. Google iMovie info.plist edit and you should figure it out

Yeah I tried that twerppoet but when I add iMovie, it doesn't show up in applications, so I've got no install button.

Cheers

Sorry. I won't be playing with it myself this week or so. Hopefully someone else will have an answer for you. Preferably one that does not involve jailbreaking.

That's a personal wish, not a slam at jailbreaking. So far I've got no real reason to do it, and I'm not looking for one. Though I have to admit that iMovie might just be the app to push me over the edge if that was the only solution.

what do you edit though??

I edited the front facing cam to false, what else?

obvisiously I need it to work on 4.2.1 but I can't see a reference to software version only 'software version identifier'

cheers

I'm confused? Are you jail broken or no? If your jailbroken, you should edit your system version information too. Go to Ifile, /system/something/coresomething and edit the systemversion file to read 4.3 and 8F190

I just plugged in 4.2.1 wherever it read 4,2,6
And deleted the required hardware block

Btw if your on windows you will need to download a plist editor, notepad won't read it correctly

Sorry its kind of confusing I just figured it out tonight looking over some old 3GS tuts on google, if you need more help just ax

I've opened it in editpad pro and its fine, I just can't see 4.2.6 anywhere??

it was at 12am last night, so I may have been a little tired so I'll try again later.

if its not too much trouble can you upload your edited plist somewhere??

cheers

This is the version number part that was changed

There is also a bit about required hardware you may need to cut out
