Searcher for iPhone

Glenn — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:57:38 +0000

Also just added to Cydia is the app, Searcher. This app allows you search really everything everywhere! It searches through your SMS, notes, Calendar, Safari Bookmarks, History and Contacts! If you don’t want a certain module (like sms) included in your searches, you can drag that module in the settingsmenu to Disabled modules!

Categories for 2.0 out now!

Glenn — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:29:46 +0000

Finally the app I waited the most for is out! Categories lets you make folders for your apps so your springboard isn’t that full! Instead of 6 pages I now have only 4! And I only made a folder for games! This is a lot handier and makes browsing for an app a lot quicker! Definitely a must-have on your jailbroken iPhone!

The app is available in Cydia!

Five Icon Dock in Cydia

Glenn — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 07:40:29 +0000

What I used to have through Kate is now available as a free app, a 5 icon dock. I really enjoy it, because if you, like me, have a lot of pages with apps you know it can sometimes be annoying to scroll from the first tot the last page for a certain app you use a lot!

This is how it makes my iPhone look like:

Installer app update to 4.0b5

Glenn — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:19:27 +0000

There is a new update for the installer app for the iPhone, you must have jailbroken your iPhone to be able to have this app! This are all the changes:

Many visual enhancements and fixes in regards to source and packages display.
Fixed an issue with failing installs with dependencies under some circumstances.
Fixed a bug causing package information to be displayed incorrectly (size 0 bytes) on the first access, or when the custom information HTML page (such as packages from Big Boss’ repository) was not displayed.
When updating a package, and one of its dependencies also has an update available, the dependency will be updated as well.
The package icons will only be downloaded when on the Wi-Fi to help you save on bandwidth.
The repositories are being refreshed upon Installer.app launch so you always stay on the bleeding edge with the updates. This is experimental behavior and we’re not yet sure it will make it to the final release.
Fixed a script command Confirm that was returning invalid button index for the “OK” button.
Lots and lots of both cosmetic and internal application core fixes that improve the overall performance, presentation and stability of the application.

MxTube also ported to 2.0

Glenn — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:47:53 +0000

MxTube is also available for download in Cydia (or when installer comes out then also there ofcourse)

So well, what’s so cool about MxTube, well it not only allows you to stream YouTube movies, but also download them and save them as .mp4 so you can SSH them and save them to your pc! Biggest advantage is ofcourse that you can watch them without being connected to the internet! You can also choose in which quality you want the movie to be downloaded!

Have fun!

Customize available for 2.0

Glenn — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:32:15 +0000

Today I noticed that Customize is available for FW 2.0 through Cydia!

First thing I changed was the dock to look like Mac OS X leopard, check out the screens:

BossPrefs update includes battery percentage!

Glenn — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:10:36 +0000

When I opened Cydia today (app like Installer) I noticed an update for BossPrefs, an application that allows you to shutdown certain processes, like WiFi, EDGE, 3G, SSH,…

I was really hoping that the SSH on/off option would work this time but it still doesn’t, I’m not sure if it’s me though…
Put in comments whether it works for you or not!

But well while searching for a solution in the app options, I noticed an option ‘Enable Numeric Battery’ and when I enabled it I was able to see the percentage of the battery left which is so handy cause it’s hard to see with the icon! You can toggle between the icon and percentage by just tapping it!

Check out the screenshots!

EDIT: nevermind about SSH, it works now, it was my own fault :p

Tap to get back the icon:

Battery Info

Glenn — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:34:45 +0000

This is a superhandy application that allows you to see the exact battery level of the iPhone. Much handier than trying to guess from the battery icon in the taskbar to see how much you still have.

You can get the app by adding “http://www.trejan.com/irepo” to your sources and installing the package Battery Info.
