Update: Kirikae – Upgrade Alert

Posted by sheep under All, Hacks on Saturday Sep 12, 2009



IMG_0174

Version svn.r43

Provides a pop-up list that can be used to switch to/launch other applications without having to return to SpringBoard

IMG_0173

Kirikae has recently released a new verison (svn.r43), which adds a favorites tab at the bottom.

So now you can double-click the home button at any time to pull up another app, and even have a section of favorite apps ready to pull up, even if you’re not running them.

Some users (myself being one of them) report a major bug, however. When clicking the Favorites tab it forces the phone to quit and restart in safe mode.

Some users on the app’s comment page allege this is from adding the iPod to the favorites, and removing it should remedy this issue, however, after trying it myself I can still report the same error keeps occurring.

I don’t mind beta testing software on occasion, but frankly, as it stands right now, this app has ceased to be functional.

My suggestion is, if you haven’t updated yet, don’t. Wait for the developer to remedy this issue, or do what I did, and remove it for now.

At least now I get my double click iPod controls back… for now… maybe.

Desktop/SMS Background

Posted by sheep under All, Hacks on Friday Sep 11, 2009



IMG_0167

Version 2.2.2

OS 3.x only!
Set desktop and SMS background in the iPhone settings without WinterBoard

IMG_0165

Don’t want to go through the hassle of respringing every time you want to try out a new background? Here’s a quick and simple alternative.

Open up settings, click wallpaper and select the image you want to lay out. Above the selection are 2 i’s. The left for SMS and the right for Wallpaper. Click once to lay, select Set and then go view.

Don’t like it? Simple enough, go back and press i again to remove it. (Don’t forget to press Set when done).

It’s not as in depth as WinterBoard, for sure, but it’s a quick and easy way to get the job done.

Of course, this won’t apply any icon changes or dock changes (though it does give you a reflective dock toggle now too).

Tic Tac Toe

Posted by sheep under All, Hacks on Thursday Sep 10, 2009



IMG_0153 IMG_0154

Version

Tic Tac Toe… Play this popular game on your device. 3 levels of difficulty, and multiplayer mode: over Bluetooth.

IMG_0155

Tic Tac Toe is one of those consummate games that everyone has on his or her phone.

This version is pretty darn good. The graphics aren’t on par with what I would like, but they work. Game response can be a bit lagging at time (that could be a fault of my phone, though), but otherwise it’s a pretty solid version.

The best part about it is it’s incorporation of Bluetooth for 2 player game play. Now you and a friend can play against each other.

iCrack

Posted by sheep under All, Hacks on Wednesday Sep 9, 2009



IMG_0146 IMG_0147

Version

iCrack is an app where you could prank/trick your friends in thinking they broke your iDevice.

This is one of those cute, but useless apps that’s entertaining for about 10 seconds. Probably great for kids, or anyone who’s quite gullible.

It’s certainly not going to improve the use of your iPhone, but it’s definitely an app that will provide a chuckle.

Cydia Update & Firmware Update Warning

Posted by sheep under All, Hacks on Tuesday Sep 8, 2009



I know you’re incredibly excited for Apple’s “Let’s Rock” Announcement tomorrow, but remember, you can’t update your firmware through iTunes if you want to keep your unlock status.

Resist that urge! Say, “NO!” to that update tomorrow. It won’t be long before a jailbroken release is available, and I’ll be sure to let you know when it is.

As a side note, Cydia Installer update 1.0.3 is available in Cydia today if you want to go get that. Maybe that will satiate your updating needs.

MeCanto

Posted by sheep under All, Hacks on Tuesday Sep 8, 2009



IMG_0070

Version 1.0

Listen to your entire music collection on your iPhone and on the web. Have a virtually unlimted music library right on your iPhone. MeCanto is a revolutionary new service that lets you take your music collection with you, wherever you go, with virtually no storage limit.

IMG_0073

You can now upload your WHOLE music collection online and stream it anywhere. 3G/WiFi, whichever… and for free. Seriously? That’s AMAZING! (Granted that still doesn’t solve the problem of what to do when you’re without a signal, but there isn’t much they can do about that).

set up an account on www.mecanto.com and download the program to upload your music (PC only). Mac users you can upload manually, a pain, I know, but again, better than nothing!

Then open the app and enjoy.

NOTE: One major draw back is it doesn’t run in the background. With Backgrounder, however, you can override that flaw.

Kirikae

The beauty of this app is it works with (or without) Backgrounder. Simply double click and it pulls up a menu of running apps. Select from the list to switch.

If you have backgrounder installed (and if you ask me, you should), it runs both apps concurrently without quitting, if not, it simply switches to the other app and closes out of the one you’re in.

The one major draw back to this, however, is it takes control of your double press home option. For me, I’m losing iPod control at any time. Not a total deal breaker for me, frankly, so Kirikae has found a new home.

It’s got a great, simple interface (though I personally would prefer a smaller font size, but again, not a deal breaker) and it’s straightforward and easy to use. Not to mention, insanely convenient for those who multitask.

If you ever forget how to use it, simply open the app and select the “How to Use” option. Does it get any easier than that? I think not.

F*ck You

Posted by sheep under All, Hacks on Sunday Sep 6, 2009



FYouFYou Info

Version 1.0

Ever wanted to use the term f*ck you, but can’t…?

We’ve all been in situations where we just need to curse someone out, but know its best not to.

This app certainly won’t solve that problem, but it’s still a good alternative. Simply open the app, press the button and achieve release.

This is app is a no frills soundboard with just one sound, “Fuck you.”

I certainly wouldn’t mind using it on my unnecessarily loud neighbor right now.

Give it a try, you’d be surprised by how useful it actually can be.
