WinterBoard Mods

October 21, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

WinterBoard There are quite a few mods in WinterBoard today and I want to mention a few…one of which I am excited to tell the ladies about!! I always try to post about any mods that are aimed toward us females, only because there are not a ton of them and so it is nice to know about the few there are. Well, I honestly have not found that I am overly impressed with but, I really like a new theme called KillSignCarbonPink the other mods are titled; Sun and Moon SMS, Icon Shadow and Icon Glow.

KillSignCarbonPink is a very complete theme. It contains icon, slider bar, keyboard, dialer, wallpaper, system, badges, SMS Bubbles, loading screens, battery and many more mods. It is pretty clean and nicely put together. There are a few things I’m not huge on but overall, a decent theme you will want to check out. The next mod is an SMS mod. It changes your SMS Bubble to an yellow and a pearl color. The yellow sms bubbles have have a star and the pearl have a moon. It also has a star wallpaper. It sounds like it could be cheesy but, it is actually a decent design. [Read more…]

WinterBoard Mods

October 16, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

WinterBoard There were are quite a few mods via Steffwiz’s Source in Cydia today. I thought I would touch on a few of them. I just had a person email me yesterday asking if I knew of any SMS bubbles that were available in Cydia and then today there were some! Steffwiz has released both Purple and Auqa SMS bubbles. I know there are more than that in Cydia but, for the life of me I can’t remember the titles of the packages. If you know of any…let me know in the comments.

StatusNotifier 0.1

September 30, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

StatusNotifier Now, this is an application that many of you have probably been waiting for!! I personally use IntelliScreen for my status bar notifications but, if you do not use IntelliScreen…this is perfect for you! StatusNotifier adds an icon to your status bar (the bar at the top of your iPhone with the carrier logo on it) if you have a missed email, text, call or voicemail. This is very similar to the Taskbar Notifier application for firmware 1.1.4 and below.

StatusNotifier is a code application so, when you install it there will not be an icon to your SpringBoard and it will automatically start adding the notification icons to your status bar. [Read more…]

September 17, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free Demo; $8.00 USD

It seems that SwirlyMMS, an app that allows multimedia text messaging, has finally made it’s way to the 2.0+ firmware…YAY!. This is very exciting for those of you who can use it! I’m still trying to find a way to get it to work with AT&T but, it does have a new icon!

When you open SwirlyMMS, it will default to the Inbox screen but will then take you to the info screen. On the info screen you will see the options Get Demo and and Arrow. In order to use the application, [Read more…]

biteSMS 2.0-1

August 12, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

biteSMS The update to biteSMS now allows you to the app as your default SMS app…very cool. Another cool new feature of the update is when you have a missed/unread text and you open biteSMS, it will open directly to the conversation with the missed text. Below is the full change log and screenshots.

biteSMS 2.0-1 Change Log:
    • Ability to make biteSMS the default SMS application (configured via biteSMS settings page, defaults to OFF).This controls the following characteristics:
        – If ON, when clicking to Reply to an incoming SMS alert, you’ll be taken into biteSMS instead of the Apple SMS application.
        – If ON, the badge that denotes how many SMS’s are unread will be shown against the biteSMS icon instead of the Apple SMS icon.
        – ON or OFF, incoming SMS messages containing biteSMS credits are handled in a more user friendly fashion.
    • Fixed the issue, whereby if an error was displayed during the sending of an SMS, then it would exit back to the Home screen.

SMSNotify 2.0

August 7, 2008 by
Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

#SMSNotify SMSNotify is an application that will allow your iPhone to vibrate when you have a missed text message or a new voicemail. This is actually not a new application, it is also available via Installer for firmware 1.1.4 and below. However, the app has changed slightly. In SMSNotify 2.0, if you have a missed text, your iPhone will vibrate three times and if you have a new voicemail, your iPhone will vibrate two times. However, this only works if your iPhone is in sleep mode (or lock mode). If your iPhone is plugged in or not in sleep mode, the app will not make your iPhone vibrate. ‘

As cool as this application is… [Read more…]

Picture Messaging (MMS) Workaround

August 4, 2008 by

TextAs most everyone knows, one of the biggest downfalls of the iPhone is the missing picture messaging. I was reading through our forum and zachdrago had written how to send MMS or picture messages to AT&T users. I have done this before with Verizon but I thought it would be kewl to list all the services that allow for this feature. Basically the way it works is you put the person’s phone number before whatever domain name that company uses for picture or text messaging.

zachdrago’s instructions:

1) choose the picture you want to send, and hit “email photo.” 2) in the “to:” field type the person’s cell phone number followed by @mms.att.net. now send, it’s that simple. EX: 5552345678@mms.att.net

I’ll get a list started and as you let me know in the comments, I’ll add it to the list. Thanks zachdrago! Here’s the ones I know: [Read more…]

SwirlyMMS 1.1

July 8, 2008 by

SwirlyMMS Version 1.1 of SwirlyMMS, a multimedia text message application, fixes quite a few bugs and adds just a few new features. Below is the change log via the developer. I am still unable to get this to work with AT&T. Let me know in the comments if you were able to get it to work with AT&T and how you did it. You can get SwirlyMMS via the Swirlyspace source.

Note: Since the last time I did a review of this application, it has really improved! There are now Inbox, Outbox, Sent and Trash options which make make navigating your text messages much easier. They have also made adding media to a text message quick and simple through little buttons. I think it is a great improvement…it looks very clean and user friendly (see screenshots below). Also, it is now only a 14 day trial after that the app costs $8.00 USD. [Read more…]

biteSMS 1.18

July 7, 2008 by

biteSMS The update to version 1.18 of biteSMS, a SMS replacement application, adds some cool new features. When you open the application and swipe on a text message, you now get a pop-up with the option to forward that message or delete it. In the previous version you were only able to forward a message. Another new features is multiple SIM support because the credits are linked to a SIM. The feature that I am most excited about is the ability to restore your credits right from the application!! I always feel bad when I email them to send me my credits AGAIN…due to the fact that I restore my iPhone so often. If you go into the Setting menu, you will see an option called Lost Your Credits. When selected, [Read more…]

LadyBug SMS Mod

June 22, 2008 by

This is a unique SMS mod. When installed, it will add ladybugs, leaves and cherries to you SMS bubbles. Your SMS messages will have a ladybug and cherries…the reply SMS messages will have a ladybug and a leaf. I know, it is girly but…girls do own iPhones!! :) Also, I had no issue installing or uninstalling this application. When I install it, the mod showed-up…when I uninstalled it, it went back to stock. Simple and easy. The LadyBug SMS mod is avilable through the Planet-iPhones source.

Note: when you install this mod, it will remove you custom chat bubbles…at least it did for me, mine where added via Customize.

MCleaner 1.4.1.6

June 20, 2008 by

MCleaner MCleaner is an application that allows you to filter your Calls and Text Messages (similar to Pysl and iBlacklist). I am using MCleaner via the iSpazio source. Like all call/text filtering applications, be sure to turn your iPhone all the way off and then back on after you install it.

The first time you open MCleaner, you will get a pop-up with the options; Register, Activate and Cancel. To use the application for the 15 day trial, select the Cancel option. It costs $19.00 USD to purchase the full version of the application. Once you have made your selection, it will bring you to the main screen. Here you will see a few options. First, we are going to look at the options down the middle of the screen which include; Whitelist, Blacklist, My Logs, Profiles, Scheduler and Settings. The Whitelist contains the numbers that you would like to allow through and the Blacklist contains the numbers that you would like to block. So, lets walk through how to use this application.

asVibra2 0.1

June 12, 2008 by

asVibra2 is similar to asVibra, it changes your stock SMS/Message vibrate alert. asVibra2 changes the alert vibrate to three short vibrations instead of one vibration. It pretty much adds two more vibrations to the end of the stock one. They are the same length as the stock vibration…there are just three of them. It seemed like three was a little too much for me. I think I would have been ok with two but three got a little long. this application does not add an icon to your SpringBoard, it just automatically changes your alert vibrate. To go back to the stock alert, just uninstall asVibra2. asVibra2 is available through the sendowski.de source.

Clear SMS 0.2Beta

June 11, 2008 by

Clear SMS Clear SMS is a simple application that allows you to delete all your Texts with one tap. When you install Clear SMS, it will add an icon to your SpringBoard. When you tap on the icon you will get a splashscreen while it deletes all your texts. As convenient as a one-touch solution is…I think it might be nice to have a pop-up on this type of application where you can select yes/no just in case you bump the application…you don’t want it to accidentally delete all your texts!! So, it might even be an application [Read more…]
