Sublime Lock HD – Clean, Easily Customizable Lock Screen

November 24, 2010 by

Sublime Lock HD is a nicely designed lock screen mod. The mod displays the current time, date, temperature, weather conditions, twitter feed and has a decent amount of themes to choose from. What I love about this lock screen is that it is SUPER easy to customize… like seriously anyone can do it… there is no coding involved. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to install, activate and customize this lock screen.

Side Note: The instructions might look long but that is only because I explain every little step.

Infinifolders, Add Unlimited Apps to Folders, Updated

November 24, 2010 by

Infinifolders, one of my absolute “must-have” hacks that allows the ability to add unlimited apps into a folder, has been updated to version 1.3-1. There isn’t an official change log but I’m guessing it has to do with compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 or maybe it adds the much awaited iPad support (which I can’t test because Doug has taken the iPad hostage!)! If you haven’t checked out this app yet… it’s worth a look and worth the $1.99 price tag. You can get Infinifolders via the BigBoss source.

What a “Tethered” Jailbreak Means for iOS 4.2.1

November 24, 2010 by

As I mentioned yesterday, the current redsn0w jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 is currently still a tethered jailbreak for some devices. The Dev-Team has updated their recent post on jailbreaking iOS 4.2.1 with a definition of what a tethered jailbreak means. A great idea! Since most people are a little confused about what exactly a tethered jailbreak is. Below is the definition via the Dev-Team.

GridTab for Safari

November 23, 2010 by

This simple hack displays multiple open tabs in Safari just like the iPad does. It works in both portrait and landscape but still only allows for 8 open tabs. On thing I’ve noticed that doesn’t work; when you hold your finger on a link and select “Open in New Page” it still opens in the existing page and not a new one. This hack is a little quicker than scrolling through all the open tabs in the normal view.

Dev-Team Releases New Version of redsn0w – Jailbreaks 4.2.1

November 22, 2010 by

Yesterday, the Dev-Team updated redsn0w. The update allows the ability to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 as well as install custom bundles. However, it is not compatible with the new version of Cydia and is still a tethered jailbreak for some devices. This jailbreak is created for people who are comfortable with the jailbreak process. Make sure you read all of the Dev-Teams info (below) before you give it a shot.

App Switcher Brightness

November 22, 2010 by

Just like a recent hack that adds a volume slider to your app switcher dock called “App Switcher Volume“, this hack adds a brightness slider instead of volume. Unfortunately, there’s no way to have both so you’ll have to pick one or the other. I use SBSettings for brightness and you can use the hardware buttons for volume. This may be a little faster than SBSettings so it’s worth a try.

Google Rolling Out Ability to Edit Google Docs via Mobile Browser [Video]

November 17, 2010 by

When I heard that Google had announced that, in the next few days, they will be rolling out the ability to edit Google docs from the mobile browser… I have to admit that my ears perked up. I know this might seem totally old school but I use Google docs for my grocery list (I know! There are a ton of apps in the App Store for grocery lists but I can’t help it… I always go back to Google docs). Anyway, I would LOVE (LOVE, LOVE… did I mention LOVE) to see an easier way edit my Google docs while out and about. Though, after checking out the demo video, I’m not sure if this is going to be the improvement I was looking for. I guess I will have to wait and see what I think about the new feature. Honestly I would just like to see an official Google Docs app in the App Store. Below is more info about the new Edit feature including a demo video (done on a droid!!).

Change the Font Color and Style for LockInfo

November 17, 2010 by

Lockinfo White Text is a mod that changes the font color and style for LockInfo (a feature-packed lock screen mod). Normally, on LockInfo, the title font is white and the rest of the text is gray. This mod changes all the text to white and italicizes the title font to help differentiate between the title and the rest of the text. This mod would come in handy if you have a lock screen background that makes it difficult to read the gray text. Overall the mod worked exactly how I expected it to. I was able to activate and deactivate it without a problem.

The mod can be activated/deactivated using WinterBoard and is available via the BigBoss source. Check out the screenshots below.

SMS Retina Bubbles

November 17, 2010 by

This mod changes the colors of your text bubbles. There are three separate installations available for three different color combinations. They are Blue and Lavender, Pink and Lavender & Turquoise and Lavender. It would be great if there were a few more color combinations. They seem to only work on the iPhone 4 with it’s retina display which makes total sense since the name of the mod is SMS Retina Bubbles. We tried it on an iPhone 3GS and it didn’t work.
