I'm using Safari from 2.1 on 2.2. Hehe...

And here's what it looks like:



If you wanna know how to do it... it's very simple.

First run PwnageTool and create a custom firmware from the 2.1 firmware.
Then change the firmware extension from ipsw to .zip and expand it.
Then open the first disk image and extract MobileSafari.app from the Applications folder.
Then SSH into your iPhone, backup MobileSafari.app and copy the MobileSafari.app from 2.1 into the Applications folder.
Then, reboot or kill the SpringBoard.

To me, this is a better browser layout.

Note: I haven't experienced any crashes since doing this.

Nothing's "wrong" with it. I just don't like the google search field in view all the time. It looks better to *me* with just the address field.

I wonder if you could get the interface of 2.1, but with the 2.2 software... If ya know what I mean

Just tried it. The layout is actually coded in the MobileSafari executable file, so I cannot use the interface from 2.1 on 2.2 without replacing the entire app. Safari has been working fine for me. Hasn't crashed once.
