I guess I picked the wrong time to jailbreak.  I had already upgraded to iOS 4.3.5. smh.   Went to jailbreakme.com and other sites didn't have a jailbreak for iPad 2 for 4.3.5 yet, just all the other iOS devices.  I tried downgrading but it didn't work.  I had it in DFU Mode trying to downgrade to IPSW 4.3.3, I kept getting error 3194 in iTunes when it was trying to verify with Apple.  I changed the hosts file and even at one point deleted it, still didn't work.  I guess I gotta just wait until a jailbreak is out for iPad 2 for  4.3.5.   I never jailbroke my iPad and didn't have the desire or need to until that XBMC with Icefilms was posted.  In the mean time I installed XBMC and Icefilms to my laptop and hooked it up with HDMI to the TV.  This is incredible.  Thanks a million to who posted that.  I had Netflix and Hulu Plus, I already cancelled Hulu and if I wanted to I could cancel Netflix too lol.  You don't even need Netflix after this.   
Obviously XBMC on the iPad is better  but for anybody that doesn't wanna jailbreak their iPad but still wanna watch Icefilm movies:

  • Make sure your devices' [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Use Quicktime[/color] setting is disabled.
  • Download oPlayer onto your device and start it. The free version shows advertisements.
  • Tap the [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Web Browser[/color] icon and go to icefilms.info
  • Choose your media and then a source. Choose to proceed to the MegaUpload page.
  • Login to your MegaUpload account and click either Regular or Premium download.
  • A dialogue will pop up asking if you want to download or watch. Choose to watch.

Is there a free app on itune-s that will allow me to watch avi files (movies) decently on my ipad? If I find this I dont need to jailbreak at all.

VLC Player but they yanked it.

You can use Air Video but it streams from your PC.

I just got xbmc working just fine on my ipad2, i decided to change the theme to neon.

This is where the trouble starts

The live RSS feed moves fine at the top of the screen, I am unable to use any other features, not sure if this was a theme that was for remote control only use or what, but nothing on the home screen works, no matter what or how I touch it.

My question is, how can I just get back the default skin?

I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and every time xbmc is opended, neon is still enabled and I can't use the application at all. I have tried putting the remote on my iphone to try and control the ipad version of XBMC, that did not work for me either, i was told it could not locate the server. I have tried putting xbmc firmware 9 on and even downgrading to 7, they are both in cydia.

how can i fix?
*fixed*

next question

anyway to enable airplay to stream this stuff to apple tv?
