Whited00r Project Brings Folders To Older iDevices

Whited00r is a project aimed at bringing several features of iOS 4 to older devices such as the original iPhone or the iPod touch 1st generation that are “stuck” on iPhone OS 3.1.3 as Apple officially dropped support for them earlier this year. Some of the features include multitasking, voice control, substrate processes via jailbreak, Springboard wallpapers and Bluetooth tethering. We last covered Whited00r in July.

A new version of Whited00r, released a few day ago, adds support for folders on iPhone OS 3.x. The feature, though, is not a straight port of folders from iOS 4, the developers created a new version from scratch instead and made it running on older devices as a MobileSubstrate addon. As you can see in the video below, those folders look just like the standard iOS 4 ones.

More information about “iOS 3 Folders” are available here, and make sure to check out the Whited00r installation guide here. Demo video below. [via iSpazio]
