How to install the iPhone applications Mail, Notes, Stocks, Weather, and Maps on your iPod Touch

Email iPod

Update – May 1st 2008: The original method I outlined in this tutorial no longer works. But don’t worry, I’ve figured out a new one! What I’m getting at is that this tutorial has been completely re-written.

This tutorial will guide you through installing the iPhone apps Apple MobileMail, Apple Google Maps, Stocks, Weather and/or Notes on your iPod Touch. Note: this tutorial assumes you have a jailbroken iPod Touch using the 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 firmware, and are *cough* legally allowed to install these applications on your iPod Touch.

  1. First you’ll need to add a new source to your Installer.app repository. If you’re unsure how to do that, see the tutorial titled How to add additional sources to Installer on your iPhone or iPod Touch
  2. Use the on-screen keypad and enter the source http://labs.ispazio.net Tap OK when you’re done.
  3. Your sources list will now refresh.
  4. installer.app refreshing

  5. Scroll through the list of software sources to confirm iSpazio Laboratory was successfully added. When you’re done, click Done in the upper-right corner.
  6. Now tap Install from the bottom button-bar. In the Categories list, scroll down to Tweaks 1.1.4 (don’t worry if you have the 1.1.3 firmware installed). Select it.

  8. Select 1.1.3/4 iPod Full Features.

  10. Click the Install button in the upper right corner. When prompted, click the large Install button, or Add to Queue if you want to install more software at the same time.

  12. During the installation you’ll get a little pop-up notice. Read it over, and then click OK.

  14. When the installation is done, go back to your Springboard. It will probably require you to ‘unlock’ again, and the Springboard will re-appear with an Edit Home Screen message. Give it a read (it has some good/new info) and click Dismiss.

    alright 1st cheack if your ipod touch or iphone is connected to some wifi, if it is connected u might need to do something to restore your ipods network connection.

    before i get in to the depth of this can u still download things, is it slow or laggy.
    if you cant download anything u might need to restore your ipods network connection but if you can download things then there is a problem with your installer and might need to re-jailbreak your ipod touch/ iphone

  2. Humz says

    IF YOU NEED HELP YOU CAN EMAIL ME AND I CAN SEE WHAT I CAN DO JUST CLICK ON REPLY AFTER THE DATE WHICH IS AFTER MY NAME

  3. Cris says

    help need help fixing my sources

  5. Eug says

    Hey I recently upgraded to 1.1.4 and jailbroke it. Everything was fine at first, but when I tried to add new sources beyond community sources, the refreshes failed for it. Now whenever I add a new source, it usually goes down to the untitled and uncategorized category, but it is also really weird in that some of the sources work fine. Major sources like BigBoss doesn’t work though. Please help!

  6. jfr says

    I have an iPod touch that I just cleanly restored to 1.1.4. After installing the “Full Features” as listed above I only see Mail and Stocks. No Maps, Notes, etc. Does anyone have a solution?

  7. gala says

    I have exactly the same problem as Eug. All new sources I added go under uncategorized, except iphone.unlock.no and the BigBoss doesn’t work either. I would really appreciate some help!
    Thanks…

  8. jfr says

    I posted earlier and figured out my problem: I was actually at 1.1.3 and not 1.1.4. After restoring to factory 1.1.4 the Full Features package installed everything. Hope this helps someone.

  9. Marco says

    Hi,

    I am trying to add the labs.ispazio.net source (after ziphone has run without problems on my 16GB 1.1.4 iPod Touch), but after OK it starts refreshing, but says ‘could not refresh sources’.

    What is wrong? How can I fix this problem, since now I can not install any apps (like mail etc).

    Thanks.

  10. Marco says

    “Failed to refresh sources”
    -> This is caused by the fact that I did not had WiFi enabled!!!!
    So to anyone, make sure it is enabled when adding a source !

    -Marco

  11. humza says

    alright if your wifi is active and everything else is working then u might need to refresh your network connection for your ipod, this may also sometimes fix the youtube connection failure but beware u might lose your songs and vids on occasion,

    alright to fix this you have to follow these steps

    turn your ipod on
    go to settings
    go to the 3rd link labeled “General”
    go all the way down to the last icon labeled “reset”
    go to the 4th icon label “Reset Network Setting”

    if this dosent work then try reset all settings the 1st icon, THIS WILL ERASE ALL CONTENT,

    i hope this helps

  17. jazz says

    Im having the same problems with adding all new sources, even after 3 jailbreak attempts, is the problem with the new Itunes?or the installer app update (i think 3.11). cos on the 2nd try i didn’t take the update and sources did add but with out giving me any new application under the installer app.

    I will try the suggested Reset Network Setting”. and let you all know.

    all this due to customize 2.0 beta messing up my wallpapers GRRR

    Hi, I have a 1.1.4 jailbroken I followed every step of your explanation but at the end I only have stocks and weather installed. No mail, no notes and no maps. Can you help me? Tnx a lot.

  24. BobL says

    I purchased a used itouch recently and icons “Mail”, “Utube”, “Maps” “Weather”, “Stocks”, “Notes”, “Calendar”, Clock”, “Contacts” are already on the screen. Does this mean that this itouch has already been “unlocked”. If so, do I need to do anything else to install more new applications?

    Also, how can I confirm if my iphone has been “unlocked”
