MCallShow 1.1

November 17, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free 15 Day Trial – $4.99  

MCallShow There has been another release for MCallShow. I tend to keep an eye on the updates for this application because in the past it has never worked quite right for me so, I like to check out the updates to see if things have improved. MCallShow is an application which gives you more detailed location based information about incoming and outgoing calls. It seems that the user interface has not drastically changed however, the database for the application has changed. It used to be when you opened the app, it would automatically find your local Country. Now it seems that you need to actually install the database for your Country. The current Country databases include, Australia, China, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain and Thailand. There website says that there is also a database for the USA/Canada but, I did not see that is Cydia. [Read more…]

SBSettings 1.0.1

November 17, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

SBSettings There is an update to SBSettings today. If you remember my initial review of SBSettings, you will remember that this application is pretty much supposed to be a BossPrefs replacement app. Well, I actually use SBSettings quite often and thought that the update was worth writing about. The “coolest” part of the update is that SBSettings is now themable! It now comes with the stock theme and two additional themes (HUD and Tech Shadow). You can get to the themes through the More option. I also noticed that there were quite a few additional mods for SBSettings in Cydia (which I just might have to do a post about).

WinterBoard 0.9.2598-1

October 9, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

WinterBoard There was an update to version 0.9.2698-1 of WinterBoard today. The changes are listed below. There are a few cool new changes but, I just want to quickly mention two of them. The one that I think most people will appreciate is that new themes are now added to the top of your list in WinterBoard, instead of the bottom of the list. Also, I noticed that the the icon label option has been changed to two options; No Undocked Icon Lables and No Docked Icon Labels. This allows to turn off your SpringBoard icon labels and your Dock icon labels separately…which just allows for more customization flexibility.

Personally I love WinterBoard but, I’m still waiting for that nice user interface. Maybe I’m the only one who still cares about that but, [Read more…]

October 8, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

Dames Well, it seems that Dames has made it’s way back into Cydia! And this time it works great! Dames is a Checkers application that allows you to play against your iPhone or against another player. When the app opens, you get a nice splashscreen and then the main menu. On the main menu, you have four options; Quick Start, Match, Double and Rules. The Rules option will give you info on how to play Checkers (Dames) and the rules of the game. The Quick Start option allows you to quickly start a game…which will be against the iPhone.

The Match option allows you to play against the iPhone however, you are given the ability to choose between three difficulty levels, (easy, medium and hard), four board options (Wood, Marble, Grass and Street) and whether you would like to have the white or black checkers.

SoccerGuide 0.1

October 6, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

SoccerGuide Looks like we didn’t have to wait very long! Over the week-end SoccerGuide was released. It looks to be pretty much the same as the preview screenshots. The application opens to a screen where you can pick from two leagues (Germany; Bundesliga and England; Premier League). Once you have selected a league you get the options to view Live Scores, New, Table, Results, Fixtures, Clubs, Credits and the ability to go back to the League screen. It looks as if the scores are brought to you via ScoresPro. They do not fit correctly in portrait mode but if you tip your iPhone to landscape mode it fits fine.

genesis4iphone 2.0.0

October 1, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

genesis4iphone It seems that genesis4iphone has made it’s way to firmware 2.x. So far, I cannot seem to get the sound to work, at least not with the games I have tried.The loading time is a little long but, other than that, not too bad. I did have a few issues with glitching but not as bad as some of the other emulators. There is also no landscape mode at this time. Let me know in the comments what you think. Below is instruction on how to get the ROM’s onto your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Note: Supposedly there is sound when you use the slide bar on the controller while in a game but, I cannot seem to get it to work for me. [Read more…]

MobileCast 3.0~b1

September 29, 2008 by

Another app that made it’s debut this week-end was MobileCast. I really liked the MobileCast application from firmware 1.1.4 and below!! I used it all the time! So, I was really excited to see that MobileCast had made it to firmware 2.x. MobileCast is an application that allows you to wireless download podcasts.

The new MobileCast has a slightly new look and feel to it. When you open the application, you will notice three options on the lower menu bar; Favorites, Downloads and Search. The Search option allows you to search for audio and video podcasts. I will say that the search is a little slow and slightly glitchy but, if you can make it past that, you will get a list of relevant options based on your search. You can then select Add next to the podcast you would like to add to your favorites. You will get a pop-up saying that the podcast feed was successfully added. [Read more…]

Stack 2.0

September 29, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

Happy Monday!! It seems there have been a few apps added to Cydia over the week-end but, lets start with Stack. We have know for a little while now that the developer of Stack was getting close to a release and it seems it has finally arrived!

Stack is an application that will stack applications on the lower right of your iPhone screen. When you tap the stack, it will display the apps (think Leopard). You can then select the Settings icon (when the stack is out) and it will give you a few options. The Settings option includes the ability to turn on a curved stack or grid stack (see screenshots below). I actually really like the grid option but, I had an issue with getting into the Settings while using the grid option. I don’t know if you experienced they same thing or not, but it was basically impossible to get back into the Settings!! I was able to get into the Settings by removing a few of the icons from my Dock. [Read more…]

Installer Update – Version 4.0b8

September 25, 2008 by
Available In: Installer       Price: Free  

Installer It seems that RiP Dev has updated Installer bringing it to version 4.0b8. I personally have found the upgrade to run much smoother. It does not lag as much and I do not have the crashing issues that I had with the previous version. Below is info from the RiP Dev’s blog on exactly what the update does.

“Installer 4.0b8 is out (it’s been ready for a while and even included in the last PwnageTool but we were holding off to releasing it publically). Among notable features is the switch to libcurl from the stock Foundation URL loading classes, which means more lightweight CPU and memory footprint and, more importantly, resumable file transfers. The new beta also features a plethora of little fixes which we won’t extensively list here. Enjoy. We’ll be pushing out a 4.0 release soonish… [Read more…]

IntelliScreen 2.21 and 2.22

September 22, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: $4.99 – $49.99  

IntelliScreen In the last few days, there have been a few updates to IntelliScreen. The updates do not add any new features, they are just bug fixes. Below you will find the complete list of bug fixes for both versions. I have noticed that on my lock screen sometimes my passcode will display behind all the info on my lock screen. I can still enter my passcode and it works…I think it is just a glitch, it happens randomly!! [Read more…]

IntelliScreen 2.2

September 19, 2008 by
Available In: cydia       Price: $4.99 – $49.99  

intelliscreen There is an update to IntelliScreen 2.2, a lock screen enhancing application, in Cydia today. Below is a complete list of changes, bug fixes and known problems. One things that I did find interesting is that the update is said to make IntelliScreen compatible with firmware 2.1 however, Doug and I have both been using IntelliScreen on our 2.1 for a while now and it seemed to work fine. So, I’m not sure what the deal is with that.

One cool new feature includes a new vibration alert that will vibrate with; Mail=2 fast beeps, SMS=2 slow beeps, Call/VM=3 beeps, Calendar=4 beeps. Another cool new feature is that after you make your changes in IntelliScreen, it no longer resprings the SpringBoard. After you make the change and select Apply, the app just closes. It is kind of weird at first because you expect it to respring but I definitly like it!! They also say that that overall InteillScreen is [Read more…]

Dock – Ported to Firmware 2.0

August 19, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

DockDock was one of my all time favorite application for a long time on firmware 1.1.4 and below! I ended up uninstalling it when it interfered with a few other apps. But, Dock is back and has a whole new look! For those of you who are not familiar with Dock…it is an application launching application. It it’s old version, it also allowed you to take screen shots. After you install Dock on your 2.0 firmware, you will need to restart your iPhone or iPod Touch. But, one it is installed and you have restarted your device, you can activate Dock by slowing running your finger along the bottom of your screen….below your dock at the very edge of your screen. You must keep your finger on the screen to keep Dock launched

You will then get a menu with five options; Media, Phone, Uncategorized, Utilities and Work. You can drag your finger along your screen to switch between the categories. Each category then contains applications. To see the applications in each category, [Read more…]

August 18, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

The update to version 0.32 of WbApp, A WinterBoard theme displaying/modding application, makes a few changes to the application. There is now a Tap for Info option which gives you basic info on how to use the application. I also noticed that if a Theme uses a web page wallpaper, instead of just displaying a blank screen when you select the theme, it now says, “This theme uses a web page wallpaper and has no preview (coming soon…).” Other than that, there are no new options in the options menu and the application functions the same as in the previous version.
