So you're saying you've checked the binaries for the Voice Control app and it's it's compiled for the new CPU/3GS?

K

f41qu3 is absolutely right. let me try to explain this. Apple programs the stuff in C/ObjC then they run the code through a compiler which takes the C code and turns it into assembly code (the raw machine instructions passed the the processor). The processor in 3Gs is a completely different family then the processor in iPhone 2G/3G, or iTouch1G/2G. The code injection method wouldn't work because it's not just one single part of the code that changed, but just about all the code. The only way to possiable get 3G to fun 3Gs binaries would be to have the source code and recompile all binaries for the older processor, or to meticulously go through and replace all thumb2 opcodes with normal thumb opcodes (which there are literally hundreds of millions), or program some kind of cortex emulator, which would be stupid and probably too slow to even run the programs decently.

If that can be done (if used Turbo's stuff on a few machines) and indeed Voice Controls ends up working on the 3G/2G iPhones, that will render Apple's claim, that Voice Control is not available on the 3G/2G iPhones due to processor performance limitation, mute. Specially with the emulation involved.

think is possible made a hacked kernel for iphone 3g (based on 3gs sources(?) including processor emu like old osx86 kernels. this is a only way to run some new 3gs apps on 3g hardware.

i think too, is possible get a source code of apps in xcode proj and recompile using build configs for 3g hardware. bad idea lol

That makes sense, I didn't realize it was so extensive. I thought there were only a few new instructions that the old processors couldn't handle. But if that's not the case then I guess we're out of luck

this work would be easy if we had source code for 10.0.0d3 kernel "1357.2.89~4".

I was wondering... has anyone checked the 3.0 beta 1 (and up) firmwares to see if any of the 3GS specific apps are in there? if they are, we could maybe get those to run on the 3g

i have hte but i cannot edit the cpu subtypes
