I know many of you are probably familiar with the app MakeItMine which allows you to easily customize your Carrier Logo and Banner (that is the area where the time is located on the Status Bar). One cool thing that I just found is that you can add emoticons to your Status Bar using MIM (MakeItMine).

When you open the app, just enter the emoticons like you would your custom text (see note below). Simple and easy.

I did find a few issues, the Carrier Logo area will cut the top of some of the taller emoticons (the Banner area does not). Also, you cannot use MIM to change the Banner if you have the Status Bar Date mod turned on in SBSettings. Other than that, kind of a fun little mod with the opportunity for some crazy Status Bars! You can get MakeItMine via the modmyi source.

Note: In order to have emoticons on your Status Bar, you will need to enable them on your iPhone or iPod Touch. You can do so using Spell Number….see the review of Spell Number HERE. Or, if you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch, you can use an app called Emoji in Cydia…see review of Emoji HERE>.

Well, I cant wait any longer. I was trying to hold out until Installer 4.0 was available on the 2.0 firmware before I started doing reviews of application but, I can’t wait any longer! Many of you who have previously jailbroken iPhones are familiar with Make it Mine by Erica Sadun. It is an application that allows you to easily change your carrier logo to any text that you enter into the application. Well, MIM available on the 2.0 firmware allows you to change the Banner as well. When you open MakeItMine, you will get the main screen. Here you can enter text into the text box. Then select either the Carrier or Banner buttons depending on which you would like to change. They change immediately which is nice because then you can see what they look like without closing the application. If you would like them to go back to default, just delete everything in the text box and then select Carrier or Banner and it will change them back to default. This application works perfectly for me. It is available through the ModMyiFone source but, you don’t really need to know that because there is no way to add sources to Cydia so whatever is in Cydia is in Cydia!
