Yesterday, we showed you that the iPod Nano 6G was hacked. The iPod Nano 6G  springboard hack is just the removal of an app and creation of a blank space. Not that amazing, but whats important is the bypass of Nano’s cache comparison, which compares any modded SB file and reverts it if it doesn’t like it, this opens up the possibility of hacking and modding, while not adding bootloaders or any of that fun stuff.




iPod Nano 6G Hack : Add Spaces To SpringBoard [How To] :

1) Make sure “Enable disk use” is ticked in iTunes when iPod Nano 6G is plugged in.

2) Go to My Computer and then into the Nano. Enable hidden folders and go into the iPod_Control, then into Device.




3) Make a backup of IconState.plist (save it to your desktop) and then proceed to open the original with Notepad or any text editor, as shown below.



4) In this tutorial we have removed the SBPhotos part of the corresponding string and deleted the SBAlbums and SBGenres. (Note: you aren’t actually deleting the apps, simply removing their visibility from the system).



5) Save this file.

6) SyncTug it : Hold down the minus volume button and lock button at the same time and as soon as it begins to reboot (screen flashes black for a moment), unplug the iPod cable from it.

Now, iPod Nano 6G will boot and show that the Photos and Genres app are missing and a space before the Settings app

As you can see if you followed the video tutorial above, this iPod Nano 6G hack is pretty simple. However, you can bet that we will be seeing a lot more from this small Touch Screen Apple Device in the future. Do you own an iPod Nano 6G ? If so, are you going to try out this hack?
