WeeLoader crashes Notification

[CyberSpiderPrime]

I have jailbroken my 'new' iPod Touch 3rd Generation/iOS 5.1.1 per Absinthe (used another method on an older one, that one met a gruesome end under a tire) and installed SBSettings. When I ran this in the past, it ran flawlessly; but when attempting to add it to Notifications, Notifications crashes and sends you back to the home screen.

After some research, the trouble was located, WeeLoader 1.4.4. Disabling it no longer crashes Notifications, but now there is no way to add SBSettings to it. Other methods still work to launch it, just not able to add to the Notification drop down.

Several users have reported this issue over the years, in multiple forums, some not even knowing that WeeLoader was the underlining issue.

When I jailbroke my earlier iPod Touch 3rd Gen, iOS 5.1.1 had become the highest possible version that could be upgraded to; which is why I decided to jailbreak it.

Is it possible to get/install a previous version (possibly before the iOS 7/8 roll outs or even 6)?

It does seem to be possible to download at least some old versions, e.g.:

• http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/debs2.0/weeloader_1.1-1.deb
• http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/debs2.0/weeloader_1.4-1.deb
• http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/debs2.0/weeloader_1.4-3.deb

I'm not sure which others are available. http://apt.thebigboss.org/stats.php?dev=all also lists e.g. v1.2-1 but the download link for it doesn't seem to work...

First of all - Wow, I did not expect an answer so quick.

I will try to install one of those. I am not proficient at this time with installing Linux packages in/on iPod Touchs (will Cydia install manually?), but am good at following instructions so will look for those as well.

Also, FYI, I noticed that other programs that use WeeLoader also run into the same issue - I guess it's any program that depends on it to load into Notifications will crash Notifications.

I never got my hands on any iPod Touch beyond 3rd Gen, iOS 5.1.1, so I have no idea when the issue cropped up.

Unfortunately I've been out of the jailbreak scene for many years - I no longer have any jailbroken devices (they were all stolen...), nor do I have the dev tools to compile things etc, and my memory is pretty hazy.

But if you can manage to get terminal access to your device (e.g. using SSH), and to upload those packages to your device (e.g. using scp), you should be able to install them with something like dpkg -i weeloader_1.1-1.deb

I just watched a video (appears to be the second in a series) that shows a little of the information I need. Looks like the first is a terminal, I already got openssh and a few others (looks like I was already heading in the right direction).

With Apple products, I am mostly just a user that wants options, only I stick with old tech - fell in love with the iTouch 3rd Gen and am staying there. I usually write down and dirty stuff on a Windows systems just to do some things I can't find anywhere else.

So, this is really helpful to me. It may be a few days before I tackle this again (having to charge up multiple iTouchs, set up one to my specs then clone to others, learning learning learning - I may be old but I love learning new things).

It's early in the morning here, been in front of the public library since I got off work, using it's Internet until my laptop is almost dead (no high speed internet at home, and these iTouchs refuse to connect to an Android hotspot). Luckily I have power at home (bad storms in my area) so I can charge the laptop as well and continue.
