Community Sources 3.85

The update to Community Sources 3.85 changes the source url for the BigBoss source. There are some hosting issues. So, if you are have problems downloading apps from the BigBoss source, make sure you update to version 3.85 of Community Sources.
Update: The update to version 3.85 solves a DNS issue that BigBoss was having. Apparently his DNS company decided to block his domain name – making is his email, website and repository go down. So, the update to Community Source make some changes so that BigBoss’s stuff will work again. If you would like to contact BigBoss, his new email address is bigboss@bigboss.us.com. Also, if you update your Community Source and the BigBoss repo shows up under Untitled Source, keep refreshing your sources until it shows up under Community Sources again.
Jailbroken vs. Stock
June 25, 2008 by
I honestly do not mind restoring my iPhone, I think I have it down to an art now, however there is just something about a completely stock iPhone that feels just so…limiting. As cool as the iPhone is, even stock, it is soooo much better jailbroken! The ability to add more application, giving the iPhone even more functionality, is essential and I’m glad more people will be able to experience with the launch of the App Store. However, having more applications on your iPhone is nothing compared to a custom modded iPhone. This is where having an iPhone becomes personal and the reason so many of us fall in love with our iPhones.
A custom theme, battery, dock, wallpaper, wifi bars, signal bars, carrier logo, system strings, lock screen…is what makes our iPhones, our iPhones. I personally cannot live without [Read more…]

June 25, 2008 by
Kate (also known as Caterpillar) has been update to version 1.3.1. The update only adds one new feature to the application however, it does fix a few bugs and compatibility issue. The new feature is the ability to do a fast respring which means you are able to respring your SpringBoard without going to the lock screen (this will only work with firmware 1.1.3 and up).
