Great iPhone case for under $6 !!!!
Just wanted to share my find. About two months ago i bought a case for my iPhone 4 because my bumper was getting all messed up (i had to mod it to fit aftermarket chargers). I paid $9.95 for the case on ebay with free shipping but now its even cheaper, under $6 with free shipping!
I am very satisfied with the purchase and wanted to share my great find. I took some pics (see below) of my iPhone 4 with the case on it. Ive had the case for about 2 months so I managed to get some scratches on it. My phone also has the SGP Steinheil iPhone 4 Screen Protector ULTRA Oleophobic with a couple of scratches on it so ignore those
Here is the link to the current auction for this case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll…m=320634078600 Please not that i am not the seller of this case, i’m simply sharing this great find for those who want to get a very well made case for fraction of a cost of most cases.

New jailbreak by geohot is out
If you didn’t know by now,geohot is back and he just released a jailbreak for iDevices running iOS 4.0 and 4.1. This jailbreak supposedly will support even newer iOS versions but well see once those are released.
New app in Cydia: App Switcher Rotator
This app allows the icons to rotate automatically depending on your screen orientation as in my screenshot in this post.
Just installed TetherMe from Cydia. It enables native tethering without a need to use other apps such as PDANet on both the PC and the iPhone. It also doesn’t require you to pay extra money to AT&T :)
InfiniFolders
Great Cydia app which breaks the “12 icons in a folder” restriction and enables you to put infinite number of icons in folders. Pretty awesome.
Facebook 3.2.1 update "unable to login" fix found for jailbroken iPhones!
If you updated to the newest version of Facebook with Places, and you are experienceing “Unable to login or Unable to connect to Facebook” error messages ..well there is a fix.
It looks like its a problem on Jailbroken iPhones which have BiteSMS installed.
Here is how to fix it: http://forums.bitesms.com/forums/1/topics/2759
FolderCloser for iOS 4
Just found this neat tweek on Cydia (Big Boss repo) which automatically closes the folder after you launched an application
I don’t know about you but the fast app switcher on the iOS 4 fills up pretty quickly and it’s a pain to double click on your home button and and then remove the apps one by one.
I just found a great SB Settings Toggle that allows you to clear all your apps from the fast switch tray in couple of seconds. It available on Cydia from Big Boss’s repo.
People say that At&Ts 3g network speed sucks. I beg to differ,everyday insteam music into my iPhone when I’m going to and back from work. I use subsonic app on the phone to inject to my sever at home. I steam all songs at 192kbps quality and if the song that I’m about to stream is over that bitrate, well subsonic server software on my Pc will down sample the song to 192 so that it doesn’t have any problems streaming to my phone. If you look at the screen shot in this post you can see that at&ts 3g network doesn’t suck a much ad people say it does. Btw this screen shot is only for this month’s data transfer :)
Is it a bad idea to have both Cydia and Icy installed on your iPhone 3G?? The answer is NO
For over 6 months now I have stumbbled upon many many posts on forums and blogs regarding people recommending other people not to run two of the Debian repo installers: Cydia and Icy. I cannot count the ways how many times I have been saved by having the 2nd Installer on my phone when Cydia would constantly crash and prevent me from getting any updates and new apps. (skip to the middle if you dont want to read a short intro below about the 3 installers)
If you do not know, Cydia and ICY are kinda like the original App Store created but in order to be able to use it..well.. you have to Jailbreak your phone. I jailbroke my phone about a month and a half after I got it.
To jailbreak my 3G, with 3.0 firmware i used a hacked firmware and the process was a lot more compliacted back then then it is now since the release of blackra1n. Very easy to use program which litteraly took less than a minute to jailbreak my phone. Once the jailbreak completes, your phone will have a new icon on the home screen “blackrai1n”. Clicking that will enable to install your choice of Installer for jailbroken apps - Cydia, ICY, and Rock.
Cydia is the original program which almost everyone has used or still uses every day. ICY is an alternative to Cydia witch a little “what supposed to be” cooler interface.
App Rock ..well i tried it once, and wasn’t too impressed because most of the apps on it even tho were jailbroken…you still had to pay for so…. i uninstalled that one almost as soon as i installed it.
SO ANYWAY’s I kinda got side tracked. Since all of us have Cydia on our Jailbroken phones (you would be a fool to remove it) launch it and search for and install ICY. I have both of them currently running on my 3G with 3.1.3 firmware. ( do not upgrade to 3.1.3 firmware because if you do..you won’t be able to jailbreak your phone).
After installing ICY you will have to manually add all of the sources from Cydia which you have previously added. So far i haven’t found an easier way or an alternative and if you have 10s of 10s of sources…well it might be a pain in the ass. It might take a while to update all of the sources in ICY but when done you will notice that it is very similar to Cydia in many ways and it actually performs a lot better. On my phone ICY runs a lot quicker and updates a lot faster than Cydia. Even installing and uninstalling applications in general is A LOT faster than via Cydia because Cydia reloads a lot of data after installation which refreshes and reloads the list of your packages, installed applications etc.
On my phone installing/uninstalling apps using Cydia and then removing them from ICY works perfectly and vice versa but it might just be me so try it at your own risk by installing/uninstalling a small application.
Having ICY and being able to use it when Cydia failed was a lifesaver to me on many occasions, including just a recent one about 2 days ago- Cydia was updating core Cydia components when I guess it failed and/or crashed half way leaving some components updated, some uninstalled, and some possibly corrupted. When I attempted to launch Cydia again it would just show up say “loading data” and crash within 5 seconds and screen would go back to Springboard.
After doing some reasearch online i found a way by typing commands in MobileTerminal app…which I didn’t have and Since it was a jailbroken app..i could only get it from Cydia as per those sites. All i did was…start ICY, get the app, write the code given on the site and test if Cydia would work. It did!. No pain no aggrivattion. It would probably have taken me another couple of days to find a way to fix it without having that app or who knows ..maybe i would end up loosing all my repos, packages and sources.
Testing Tumblr Blog and Facebook intergration
Just a small test of the integrated goodie which comes with tublr. It’s been a over two months since my blog post..im slacking!!! haha :D
Few days ago I stumbled upon this Vista Theme for SBSettings. It’s available on cydia ,just search for “Vista SBSettings”
Access files on your Jailbroken iPhone with USB instead of WiFi
Over the last few months, Ive been searching for a way to easily transfer files (such as themes, apps, wallpapers, and other files which iTunes won’t let you do…) via USB instead of using WiFi.
The most popular way to transfer Winterboard themes, replacing stock files with modded files etc..is to use SSH but I’m pretty sure you already know that that is why I will make it short. - SSH allows you to access the raw filesystem (root) of your iPhone, allowing you to have complete control over which files you want to delete, replace, rename, change, you name it. The only problem with SSH is that it has to be used with a WiFi connection. Most of us these days have a WiFi connection at home and using SSH is not such a big deal, unfortuantly it is not as fast as transfering files via USB 2.0 cable let say, or if your WiFi network is not is good of a range .. you will experience in slow transfer speeds when it comes to big files.
Few months ago I posted on my expierence of iPhone Browser which was OK at that time but it was unstable and crashed a lot.
I have found iFun Box to be very very useful application, it is fast, it works great over USB 2.0 connection and it doesnt’ crash. Even if you rip the cord from the PC, it still won’t crash..it will just tell you that your device was not removed safly ..kinda like windows does :)
Try it out, it should work right from the start, if you see that your iPhone 3.1.2 or 3.0 firmware or any other firmware version is showing up as iPhone 2G JAILED, MAKE SURE TO INSTALL “afc2add” from ModMyI repo which will fix the incorrect detection problem over USB.
I have tested this program on Windows 7 64bit and Vista 32bit and it worked perfectly on both machines. I would recomnd this program to anyone who would like to replace stock ringtones for SMS, icons, themes, etc.
