TimeCapsule now Chronus

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free or $7.99  

timecapsule Many of you probably remember TimeCapsule, an application that allows you to back up your iPhone, from firmware 1.1.4 and below. Well, it is now available for firmware 2.0+ however it has a new name. It is now called Chronus. The icon is the same and the application itself looks and functions much the same as before. You are able to back-up Stock, Cydia and App Store applications (Documents folder). The application list is a little limited at the moment and the ability to backup your Contacts is missing. But, the developer is working on both of these things and we should see some good updates in the future. The app reminds me a lot of the first releases of TimeCapsule but I know we will see more features soon.

TimeCapsule 0.37b1

TimeCapsule The update to version 0.37b1 of TimeCapsule now allows you to back-up your mobile favorites. Which is cool. You can also email SMS Repository in tab-delimited file (can be opened with EXCEL) and localization with lproj. I cannot tell you much about the last two options. They are restricted to the full version which unfortunately I do not have. Though, I did grab some screenshots off the developer’s website. TimeCapsule is available through the databinge source.

TimeCapsule 0.34b2

TimeCapsule A quick update to version 0.34b2 of TimeCapsule fixes the issue from the previous version in which you were not able to back-up VNotes. After updating, VNotes was in the list on applications that could be backed-up and I was able to create a back-up of it. TimeCapsule is available through the databinge source.

TimeCapsule 0.34b1

TimeCapsule The update to version 0.34b1 of TimeCapsule adds the ability to back-up VNotes and ShowTime. However, I installed both ShowTime and VoicesNotes and only ShowTime showed up in TimeCapsule…even after recording adding a recording to both. I think this could be due to a firmware compatibility issue with VNotes. The developer also changed [Read more…]

TimeCapsule 0.32b1

TimeCapsule The update to version 0.32b1 of TimeCapsule adds iBlacklist to the option of apps that can be backed-up. You are also now able to restore your Safari .plists separately. Once you have created a back-up of Safari, you can then tap on it to get a list of four .plists; Bookmarks, Bookmarks.plist.anchor, History and SuspendState. You can choose any of the four to backup individually. TimeCapsule is available through the databinge source.

TimeCapsule 0.31b1

TimeCapsule Version 0.31b1 of TimeCapsule adds one new features (but it is a cool new feature!). You are now able to hide applications. However, when I installed the update…TimeCapsule would open to the splash-screen, go dark like it was trying to load the application and then close back to the SpringBoard. I tried restarting my iPhone to no avail. So, I took a chance and I uninstalled iVirusScan. After iVirusScan was uninstalled…I restarted my iPhone and tried to open TimeCapsule again and it worked. So, I’m not really sure what the deal is with that….maybe not compatible with each other? However, that is not the only problem had with this update. When I finally got into TimeCapsule…all my back-ups were gone. I also had some issues with the Hide Feature but first let me explain the Hide feature.

Another new feature is that you can restore individual Installer plist files instead of having to restore them all. However, I am having a small issue, it doesn’t seem to see my MxTube files. When I open TimeCapsule, [Read more…]

TimeCapsule 0.22b1

TimeCapsule You might be wondering (as I was) why there were sooo many TimeCapsule apps in the Installer…well, after a quick jaunt over to the Developer’s website, I found out it was because it was released in different languages (French and German)! So, make sure you Install the correct one! Version 0.22b1 of TimeCapsule does not have any visual changes but does have some bug fixes (see change log below). Also, I forgot to mention in the last post about this app that once you have a back-up of Installer… [Read more…]
