Questions

How do I enable automatic / scheduled sync?

Automatic syncs probably drain your battery. But as of version 0.5, they are at least possible:

(these commands are to be typed as the root user using SSH or mobileTerminal. You can instead prefix each line with "sudo " if you have set that up for your mobile user account)

cp ~mobile/GRiS/sync/net.gfxmonk.gris.autosync.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/

By default, this will sync GRiS every hour. If you want to change the time between syncs, you should run:

sed --in-place= -e's/<integer>.*</<integer>1800</' /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.gfxmonk.gris.autosync.plist

replacing 1800 with the number of seconds between syncs (e.g. 1800 is half an hour).

Then you should reboot, or run

launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/net.gfxmonk.gris.autosync.plist

How do I make it sync on startup?

You can't.

Can I change the theme?

If you're daring, you can modify the file at /var/mobile/GRiS/template/style.css Note: The entire ~/GRiS tree will be overwritten every time you update GRiS, so make sure you have a backup if you make modifications!

Preset theme support is on the agenda, but it's a pretty low priority. You can help out by submitting your modified CSS for inclusion.

Issues / fixes

No proxy support

Turns out it's hard. See issue 10

No support for EDGE / 3G/ anything that isn't wifi

(or so I hear - issue 16 ) I'm unable to reproduce this, as I only have acces to an iPod Touch.

Installation error (permission denied for chmod) - ( issue 61 )

If you have installed "pc suite", see this thread for a possible fix: http://www.modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/293581-chmod-killed-why.html

If you have any other issues, check the current issues page. If you can't find your issue listed, create it!

Providing debugging info

The version of the software you're using is important. You can find out by looking at the entry for gris in cydia. The current version is also found in the file /var/mobile/GRiS/VERSION

If you need to send me a detailed error report, these files are the main ones I'll need for your report to be useful:

/var/mobile/GRiS/sync.log and
/var/mobile/GRiS/app.log

These logs shouldn't contain any credentials (like your password) but bugs happen, and sometimes these things slip through. So it's in your best interest to check these files and strip out any information you'd rather not share before you send them to anyone.

Uninstalling

GRiS should in theory leave nothing behind. Having said that, I haven't done much testing around the install / uninstall process. So, here's where things are:

/var/mobile/GRiS - normal operation /tmp/GRiS - after an uninstall (these should be deleted by the OS on next boot)

However the vast majority of space taken up by the GRiS installation is it's sole dependency, python. If you no longer want python after removing GRiS, you should remove that package too (via cydia - you may need to use the search panel to find "python", as it may not be listed in non-development mode).
