Hybrid Re-Touched v1.1​

I hereby announce an update to my first skin/theme for the iPod 5G Video :p​
Update release January 10​

First up a huge thanks to the creators of the touch hack - they have given my ipod a new lease of life. Secondly my greatest regards to theislander for his help & permission for modifying his hybrid hack

Here is what the firmware will make ur iPod look like:

​

the left image is of the Music Sub-Menu; the center image is of the Main Menu & the right image of the Now Playing Screen

This is only for 5G​

There are some images that need to be re-done in Photoshop so will keep on doing it and will release the resources only.

Information & How-To can be found at my Blog or at the Download Page

this is a 'theme' for 5G video pods to make them look like the touch and this particular theme is a touch+classic hybrid based on theislander's hybrid firmware

in that case ur iPod is not a 5G but a 5.5G ... 5G does not have a Search feature ....

download the 5.5G hack from Here
hellknight
Jan 24, 2008 at 3:04 PM
But the software is saying that, Its 5th gen ipod, when i clicked on iPodwizard's which iPod Generation do i have! Are you sure about it. Any ways i'm downloading that file too!

Jan 24, 2008 at 3:07 PM
if ur iPod has the search feature then its definitely the 5.5G ;)
hellknight
Jan 24, 2008 at 3:12 PM
If you're refferring to the search feature of songs, it has one. Ok i'm convinced that it is 5.5 G.

Could you please tell me some another site for downloading that firmware, not rapidshare, it doesn't support download managers. I'm on Airtel GPRS, so solw downloading speeds.
