iPhone firmware 4.0

Glenn — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 11:43:29 +0000

Some people are disappointed with the new iPhones OS 4.0 and expected a lot more, but I really think that the new features are already awesome enough. Okay some other smartphones already have multitasking quite a while, but if you just check out the movies of it then you can see how incredibly fast this actually is on the iPhone.

The second big improvement is the ability to create folders, I was already able to do this on my jailbroken iPhone with Categories but it just wasn’t smooth enough. It really took a while before the folder opened and adding/removing applications from/to the folder was a real pain in the ***.

Another small change that I like is the option in settings to show the character count while typing an sms. When I’m in my country it’s not really something needed since I text free, but when on vacation it would be kinda stupid to spill 20 cents because of 1 character too much…

Something I missed on the other hand and a reason for me to still jailbreak is statusbar notifications, it’s such a simple thing but I really want to be able to see if I have an unread message and whether my volume is turned off or not! I want to be able to see this on my homescreen instead of having to go to Settings to check it there because in the dark you cannot see the the orange circle!!

WinPwn RIP? Trying QuickPwn for 2.1

Glenn — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 16:54:57 +0000

Well since there is still no update for WinPwn for jailbreaking and unlocking the iPhone 2.1 firmware, I now switched to QuickPwn! The only thing I miss with QuickPwn is the ability to have your own custom bootlogo’s, you can only choose between standard and the Pwnage pineapple…

I have found a nice guide to help you with the quickpwn tool for the pc!

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:

Still no 2.0.2 winpwn

Glenn — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:22:26 +0000

Well since I couldn’t wait any longer, I’ve just updated my iPhone to 2.0.1 instead of immediatly to 2.0.2, I bet that now the winpwn tool will be released any second, just to pick on me! :p

I used winpwn 2.004 by the way and it worked without flaws

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.
