Introduction

The project

The project is simple : understand and try.

I always try to do more with the things around me and so to understand how electronical or mecanical system works. This Ipod touch had been a wonderful laboratory when I was 11 years old, with less than a penny and not much knowledge, I learned thanks to the Internet, my observation and essayism abilities to jailbreak and customize it.

My work

From jailbreak with Absinthe, to kernel tweaking to amplify the sound system voltage, trough the installation of the alternate app market Cydia and hours of customization for a tailor made user experience.

info And voila ! Driven by the passion since my little age. Those picture were taken in 2010.
