iPhone hack - Run OS X Dashboard widgets on your iPhone
- Copy /System /Library /WidgetResources over to your iPhone
- install your OS X widgets into /var /root /Library /Widgets (create this directory if it does not exist)
- run Widgets.app
Move over all the files and do not rename any directories. Results vary depending on the widget. The Weather, ESPN, and Calendar widgets work great; the Flight Tracker, Dictionary and Phone Book are among the worst in compatibility. And yes, the irony doesn’t escape us that the Phone Book widget is terrible on the iPhone. Hopefully someone will add Widgets.app to AppTapp to make this hack even easier.

Since I have to ask how to do these steps, I suppose I don’t have have the skills to do it. But can you direct me to a more step by step. I have just started trying to add applications to my iPhone.

an easier way is to download sendspace, make an account and upload from your computer a widget to put in ur widget folder
Ok,
where do you put the /System /Library /WidgetResources on the iPhone?
The second step is the easy bit.
