One of the biggest problems with Apple is also one of the reasons why their products are often the most hyped: the constant stream of new devices, promising better functionality, more features, faster speeds, etc… However, not everything has the resources (or wants to) continually upgrade to the latest version of the iPhone, iPad, etc. Previously, sticking with older devices would only mean watching your iOS firmware slowly become deprecated and obsolete. Now, however, a new innovative solution called Whited00r promises to introduce new iOS features, including app folders, multitasking, etc, to older devices.

More information from 9to5Mac:

Whited00r added features like multitasking, app folders, reminders, improved home screen, video recording, and faster speed. What about iCloud? Whited00r used Dropbox syncing throughout the operating system to sync files with other devices. Whited00r also used a custom Newsstand to deliver news.

Download the Software Update for your device from the download page. Read carefully informations about package to choose the right one for you! You will find the whited00r Software Update (.ipsw) decompressing the zip folder (use 7-Zip on Windows or TheUnharchiver on MacOS). We suggest using Google Chrome or a download manager for the download.

Open iTunes on the screen about your device. Click on Restore holding ALT (MacOS) or SHIFT (Windows) at the same time and select the whited00r Software Update (.ipsw) from you computer.

I’ll be sure to try this on my old iPod Touch 2G and see how it goes.
