The Sims 3 for the iPhone and iPod Touch

May 30, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: App Store

Price: Coming Soon

I know all you Sims fans out there are waiting for the release of Sims 3. Well, it seems that they are going to be releasing it for the iPhone and iPod Touch as well. According to the demo videos below…it will hit the App Store on June 2nd! Just a few more days! No info on how much it will cost but I think it is safe to say that, based on Sim City and the depth of the game, it will be in the $9.99 range. Probably totally worth it.

Below are a few demo videos and screenshots of the app. [Read more…]

SBSettings Update – Significant Update…Lots of New/Improved Features

May 29, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

SBSettings recently had an update to version 2.99. The update bring some significant changes to the application.

Some of the changes that I really like are:
    • The ability to move the toggle order. This allows you to move the toggles you use most often to the top of SBSettings.
    • The ability to enable/disable mobile substrate applications (those are apps that run in the background and do not have icons). That way you can turn them off without uninstalling them.
    • The addition to the Extras and Options.

In the Extras and Options, I really like the ability to turn off/on the numeric wifi, numeric GSM (ph one strength) and numeric battery. I also like the ability to add the date to the status bar and they ability to enable/disable SBSettings on the lock screen and during a call. I am constantly trying to launch SBSettings from my lock screen only to remember that I cant! Now I can! YAY! [Read more…]

Custom HomeButton – Choose a Home Button Double-Tap

May 29, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

Custom HomeButton, is an application that allows you to choose your Home Button double-tap. I have actually been waiting for an application like this. On the 1.1.x firmware, I used an application called iPhoneHome. It was not updated for the 2.x firmware. However, Custom HomeButton actually gives me a little more functionality than iPhoneHome did.

Once installed, you can get to the Custom HomeButton settings via your stock Settings application. In the settings, you have the option to enable/disable the app and choose what you would like your Home Button double-tap to be. You can choose from the stock apps, App Store applications, Cydia applications, a list of websites or set a custom app/website. [Read more…]

BluIce – WinterBoard Theme

May 19, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

BluIce is a theme with kind of a space, futuristic feel to it. The theme contains 27 icons, a wallpaper, dock and statusbar. The only issue with this theme is that the Calendar icon is named incorrectly in the folder so, it doesn’t show up correctly without changing the name of the icon. If you are comfortable with SSH…you can SSH into the Library/Theme/BluIce/Icons folder and rename the icon from Calendarpng.png to Calendar.png (just remove the extra png). I also am not too sure about the Settings icon…it doesn’t seem to fit the rest of the theme. I think it would also be better with a blue badge instead of the stock red one. All that said, I think it is a great start. [Read more…]

WinterBoard Settings

May 19, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

I was surprised when I opened Cydia this morning and saw a WinterBoard Settings application. I was like…Shut Up! I totally thought we were going to get some sweet new settings…maybe some interface settings and what not. Well, that is not exactly what this app is.

WinterBoard Settings, via the david.ashman.com source, will add an option for WinterBoard in your stock Settings application. When selected, you have the option to turn on/off SpringBoard Only (which will apply WinterBoard themes to only your SpringBoard) and Debug (I’m not exactly sure what this setting would do). You can also view all your WinterBoard themes from the Settings option. [Read more…]

Birthday Cal Push – Import Contacts’ Birthday’s into Calendar

May 17, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

Birthday Cal Push is an application that will put your Contacts’ birthday’s into your stock Calendar application. I was actually totally stoked to see this application. As far as I know, this is the first app of this type.

Once installed, all you have to do is tap on the Birthday Cal Push icon and the application will open and close. In theory, all your contacts’ birthday’s will then be in your Calendar. However, this application did not work for me. I tapped on the icon, it opened and closed, I went to my Calendar and I got nothing. So, I gave it another shot…still nothing. I even tried entering a new birthday for one of my contacts and then running the Birthday Cal Push app. [Read more…]

QuickTip – Silence and Send Calls to Voicemail using Power Button

May 17, 2009 by Brooke

It’s time for anther QuickTip! My last QuickTip was about how to lock your iPhone using the Power Button so, I thought I would stick with the “Power Button” theme.

QuickTip – When receiving an incoming call, you can quickly press the power button (that is the button on the top of your device) once to mute the ringing. Or, when receiving an incoming call, you can quickly press the power button twice and send the call straight to voicemail!

The Metal Thing – WinterBoard Theme

May 17, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

The Metal Thing is a pretty cool theme that contains 30 icons, moving wallpaper, dock, status bar, lock background, SMS background, sliders, badges, dialer, calculator…etc. This theme is unique in the fact that it has an “animated” wallpaper. In the center of the wallpaper is a blue sphere…inside the sphere you will get a nice lighting affect every once and a while. The icons also need to be in a specific order around the sphere. The rest of your icons can be placed wherever you would like them. (See screenshots below) I did notice that the animated wallpaper does making the icons a little laggy when in “move” mode however, it doesn’t seem to affect scrolling of SpringBoard pages. You can get The Metal Thing via the modmyi source. [Read more…]

Encrypto – Hide Photos in Your Camera Roll

May 15, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: App Store

Price: $1.99

Encrypto is an application that allows you to hide images that are in your Camera Roll. When you open Encrypto, you will need to choose a passkey. You will want to remember your passkey because the next time you open the app, you will have to enter it.

Once in the application, you have three options on the lower menu bar; the main page, the help page and the import page. On the main page you will see all the photos from your Camera Roll. It automatically pulls in all your photos however, it will not pull in any screenshots that are in your Camera Roll. I personally like that it only pulls in photos and not screenshots. Each photo has a image of a lock on it. If you tap on the lock, it will Encrypt the photo. [Read more…]
