Can I put the new iPod software on my old iPod?
The new iPods have that sofware where the album artwork is split with the main menu—are there any hacks where I could put that on my old 30gb iPod?

I follow that kind of thing pretty closely and I haven’t heard of anything. You can always start from scratch and just hack it yourself but other than that I don’t believe so.
No you cant.
Some i hack, i think RockBox had a theme that did many of the things the new software did tho.
Yes, you can – why people answer ‘no, you can’t’ without knowing for sure is beyond me!
Edit: Arg, the link on LH is broken. There’s another tutorial here that links back to the iPod 5G to iPod classic FW hack.
No offense dude.
because you can’t. this is a modded firmware, not the one apple created. it’s a clone.
Ex. it doesn’t support CoverFlow

I did this, to my old 30GB video, and it works. So yes, you can!
Who cares if it’s modded firmware? Poster asked for a hack, and there is one…
