You Can Enable Multitasking Gestures & Display Mirroring On iPad 1 (No Jailbreak)

Does this work for iPhone 4 running iOS5?

Mirroring doesn’t work but able to get multi gestures

cause error in my ipad1 ¨Notworking apple firmware¨ in the black screen :/

This didn’t work for me. Would sit there forever. It said something about a build and it was identifying.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you so so so much, worked like a charm after a bit of fiddling around, I;ve been looking to do this without jailbreaking the device for a while.

Works fine. But the mirroring can’t be found. Where did they hide it?

Does anybody know if I will be able to update via OTA after using this? Thanks

mirror is not working !!!! bur multi gestures …

This is still jailbreaking though, you are using redsn0w to hack into the iPad using the limera1n exploit allowing it to run things it shouldn’t that is the definition of a jailbreak. Installing cydia is your own choice anyways it does not define whether or not a jailbreak has been utilized.

Thanks for the post! But I’d rather keep it legal, I don’t wanna brick another iPad again :/

Awesome! Works great for me

This is still JB without Cydia, Right?

thanks you very much!

thank you, however, I tried to do the mirroring thing but no luck. tried it with apple TV 2G latest version. can you please clarify if the mirroring will be wireless or we need to use a cable ?

Yes, since it doesn’t jailbreak your device.

But you’re not checking on Install Cydia so that’s not jailbreak. Indeed!

Jailbreak means Cydia and without Cydia there won’t be jailbreak. Don’t worry no problems as tethered boot and etc.

GGGGGrrrrreeeeaaaaatttttttt!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much. Working for me

That’s reassuring… Installing it now… Thanks…

Thank you so much. It works. I really get used to the multi gestures on magic trackpad, now i got some on iPad too.
BTW i am angry with Apple not allowing m.gestures on iPad1 with iOS 5. They think i should buy iPad 2 to use this feature, but why i have to get rid off of my perfectly working ipad1? In my opinion, the first gen looks better than the 2nd.

gestures and mirror working this is great work, please modify for iphone 4 also

Works perfectly fine for me! Thanks a lot!

Same here, can someone please explain how to work the mirroring. Thanks!

Did you get mirroring work? If so, how?

Same here. Plz help!

Gesturing works flawlessly. However, I can’t find the airplay icon anywhere.
Is mirroring possible via tethering only?
Please keep us posted if and when airplay becomes available.
Thanks for all the great work! Keep it up!

my guess is this is wired mirroring… not wireless…

Multi gestures and mirroring works just fine. After the procedure your IPad will be normaly activate for mirroring (it does not appear an option in settings to turn it on/off).

I guess technically, you are using the limera1n exploit to get at an otherwise hidden system file (/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app specifically) and adding the two lines needed to enable the already dormant function that Apple decided not to give us 1st gen users in the iPad settings. On iOS 4.3.2, we had to make the file change through the backup/restore function on windows PC’s but Apple hid it much deeper this time so this exploit is the only option. This shouldn’t leave any lasting effects that jailbreaking does that allow cydia and other jailbreak software work.

Hopefully this also means that incremental updates won’t break the multi-touch gestures unless apple specifically updates the file changed by this mod.

Can someone confirm if this mirroring feature is only wired or can be used wirelessly
Would love to be able to run this on the ATV2.

It’s now downloading for me.

Multitasking is working great but no wireless mirroring. I update my ATV2 to ios4.4 but no luck

I tried it but I am just getting the multi gestures but no mirroring. I even updated my ATV2

ru able to do mirroring wirelessly to ATV2?

I cannot do mirroring but multi gestures working fine

how much time it will take?

how much time will it take?
my ipad is sticked on “preparing jailbreak data” from last 20 minutes and still no progress appear…progress bar is empty.
help me in this..i am new to this jailbreak thing.

Same here

….so just because I’m paranoid about making a brick out of this thing…I can reboot this thing after having enabled gestures (which is awesome! thank you!) with out connected to my trusty imac?

Fuck ! My iPad is bricked!

if you can’t find the mirror icon make sure your apple tv 2nd generation is updated to ios5

Gestures working, mirroring sound working, but no screenshare/video

Same here. gesturing is working (thank you very much) but mirroring the display is not. iPad is updated to 5.0(9A334) and ATV2 is at version 4.4.2(3160). When I try to “update software” on ATV2 it tells me it is up to date… (no option for apple tv to update to 5.0)

Uh, guys… this is jailbreaking. Just because you don’t have Cydia it doesn’t mean that the locks on the device haven’t been broken. Apple wouldn’t condone this, and it would probably show up in any checks that they put in place for jailbroken devices. If that kind of thing makes you nervous, don’t do this.

Each time it tries to identify my device, it just turns off. I can’t get past the identification screen. What’s up?

multitasking gesture is only for ipad

it works! thnk u!

Brilliant, gestures working perfectly. No problem following the steps.

And here… Gesturing is fine – but no option for mirroring. Both devices updated to most current software. As I understand it you can turn mirroring on by double clicking the home button to bring up the multitasking bar, then swipe to the left to get the player controls. Under airplay there should be an option for mirroring – but it isn’t there…..

Does anyone who has managed to get this to work have any ideas?

It’s jailbreaking enough that Safari and Mail brick afterward

Ran red snow and everything clicked from dfu. I still can’t mirror on anything except YouTube through AirPlay? Is this normal. All my updatedvfunctionalitybis there except the mirroring. I enabled through settings and still no mirroring on net flicks or home page? Mirroring is untethered right? Am I missing something here?

hey ahmed omar,u can also get (tethered jailbreak+multitasking gestures on ipad ios 5),you first have to jailbreak your ipad using latest redsnow,after downloading latest redsnow go to extras nad then select IPSW,after that go back and select jailbreak.after jailbreaking your ipad first you will need ifile,download it from cydia,then open ifile go to system/library/CoreServices?springBoard.app then swipe down and find (K48AP.plist) open it with text viewer and find multitasking-gestures</key
just change false to true and save it.now u need to respring so for doing that install sbsettings from cydia and after installing that respring your ipad after that you will get multitasking gestures in settings along with tethered jailbreak

The mirroring only works WIRED, not wireless. I can confirm that I successfully ued the ipad interface – VGA and ipad interface – HDMI connectors from Apple that video mirroring is AUTOMATICALLY enabled (no software swtich).

Does this work with IOS 5.0.1?

hey omar, how do I delete this function after running redsnow for enabling my multitask gesture on my ipad 1. I wanna put ipad 1 to its original. Since on ios 5.0.1, apple adds multitasking gestures for ipad 1.

I updated to ios 5.0.1 but there is an “error occurred downloading ios 5.0.1″.. do you have a solution Omar?

I pad no longer backs up. I also updated to 5.0.1 (dah). please help

Work good for multitasking, but not work mirroring with atv2

Can anyone help?? I did everything as described and gestures works fine but there is no option for mirroring when i click the air play button. please help

thanks

Multi gestures and mirroring works just fine. After the procedure your IPad will be normaly activate for mirroring (it does not appear an option in settings to turn it on/off).

I am getting a message saying that my ‘fingerprint’ can’t be recognized. I just upgrade to ios5. Any ideas?

There’s always one troll !!!

If your iPad is bricked, restore it. That’s what dfu mode is for dumbass

Not entirely correct. Multitasking gestures is only for iPad on IOS 5 (as far as I know).
Multitasking gestures on iPhone running IOS 4.3.3 for example, are working just fine.

Can u make 1 for 5.1

already jailbroken missed enabling gestures by mistake can anybody plssssss help

cydia, search for “multitasking gestures” install that, worked for me, and its free. I was an idiot and didn’t check off multitasking gestures when I did redsnow.

Hi, i have an ipad 1, i have used redsn0w and i have no options of mirroring in my settings. I have the option of Multitasking gestures. I want to mirror onto a projector using the VGA adaptor. Does mirroring exist on my ipad even though its not in the settings or will i have to do something to enable it?

thanks jolly…your step very easy…me no need connect to redsnow…

no did not work

If you have a jailbroken iPad 1. Then go into Cydia download iFile and/or openSSH if you have an ssh client on your computer. Then open iFile and go through the folders in this sequence.
Go to the following directory in the filesystem: /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app, open the K848AP.plist file from there and add this: multitasking-gestures after you add this string of text to the plist save and restart your iPad. Now you will have gestures enabled.

You have to be on iOS 5.0.1 to mirror an iPad 1. It’s the only firmware that has been successfully mirrored since iOS 5. If you are on iOS 4 still then jailbreak it and download
the package DisplayOut from Cydia. And configure in the settings app.
On 5.0.1 download DisplayOut and TV out for iPad 1 (iOS 5.0.1 only) then reboot. You will now be able to use mirroring to an external display via (AVI, VGA, or Composite cables)

That is incorrect only certain applications mirror. It’s not full external mirroring on iPad 1 or iPhone 4. It is only possible on iOS 5.0.1 You must install DisplayOut and tv out for iPad 1 (iOS 5.0.1 only)

If you are still on 5.0.1 then stay there. Email me @ and I can answer any of your questions. 5.0.1 is the best firmware since iOS 5 was released.

Actually on 5.0.1 the plist will have This string
multitasking-gesturesfalse

You change the “false” to “true” and that will enable the gestures to be enabled through the settings app. Respring your device after you change the plist.

An iPad 1 will not mirror to an ATV 2. Only iPad 2 and The New iPad.

Hi there. iOS 5.1.1 has got Multitasking Gesture. How can I just add mirroring? Thanks
