Official iOS devices thread

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Since August 2008 I am using iPhone3G. Still it is getting interesting day by day. I got bored off from my N958GB within 3 months. I, in last 5 yrs, never used a single handset for more than 6 months. The last phone I used for more than 6 months is Samsung R620 (the monochrome phone with the blue background).

These are the apps I am using regularly:

1. Background - I am really fond of Wallpapers
2. BiteSMS (available for JB phones) - For Text Messages
3. PDANET (available for JB phones) - For Internet in my Laptop over WiFi
4. Spreadsheet
5. iClicker - For complete control over powerpoint presentations
6. iCricket - Indians without cricket !!!! Impossible
7. Four Free / Dots Free / Jezzball / Brainvita/Sudoku - Games for Time Pass
8. Tap Defense / S. Deadbeef - My Recently Favorite Games
9. BiiBall / Blocks Classic / Labyrinth - All Time Favorite Games
10. Air Sharing

Does anyone know about a app by which you can put a security lock on sms?

[Pat]

^^ Lockdown or madvlock! The latter one has more features (I use the first one though).Both are free but work only on jailbroken iPhones.

[dd_wingrider]

@Pat Thanks a lot, i have jb iphone, will look out for app today.

Update: Downloaded Lockdown from cydia, works like a charm

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Its been a long time I am not seeing any posts from friends like GoobiMama and Aryayush.

However, kaushik, pat and few other people are around to provide inputs to the visitors of the thread.

Thanks pals... you rock this thread.

I want to configure proxy settings on my phone so that I can have Airtel Live.
BossPrefs just shows the details, but can't edit 'em, damn!

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Clippy now supports SMS copy paste.

More features expected soon.

Another much needed app is SweetTooth (in Cydia), although it is under development, after release it will support most of the bluetooth profiles including file transfer.

Guys, check out Animoto in App Store, creates music videos out photos on iphone.

[Pat]

Clippy now supports Copy-Pasting from web-pages too. So we now have true system wide Copy-Paste on iPhone. Sweet

Just for curiosity, what does the "i" in "iPhone" stands for?

Apple started using the "i" trend since the introduction of iMac. I just wonder what does this "i" stands for!!!

Apple started using the "i" trend since the introduction of iMac. I just wonder what does this "i" stands for!!!

What, for example, does the 'i' stand for in the Apple iPod and the Nintendo DSi?
A quick office poll drew up blank faces and an even quicker Google search of 'what does the 'i' in iPod mean' suggests that it originally stood for 'internet' in the case of Apple's iMac brand.
However, an Apple rep told us that the i in iPod was just a brand name and not an acronmyn.

I'm gonna first check it out myself and let u know....

[IronManForever]

.. that it originally stood for 'internet' in the case of Apple's iMac brand..

Yeah, iMacs were meant for those kinda PCs for home users who did basic stuff like web browsing, office work, music and didnt need that much of power and upgradability. The iMacs were elegant in their times and spoke of style. It started making appearance in the house of elites and commoners alike. And I'm speaking too much.

Just trying to sound like a fanboy, how was that?

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Thats really informative IronManForever, thanks for sharing.

Thanks to Picster too...

I also wonder, how to copy-paste from web-page using clippy!!!

[Pat]

^^ It is still experimental...Double tap and hold (when you tap second time), you will see the menu to copy text from the para!!

Guys who have jailbroken, try out SysInfoPlus! Pretty cool I say

[IronManForever]

^ So can you post what you see?

Hi Guys, Actually for some days i was trying to get a blogger template which would be compatibly with iphone/ipod touch browser. But with no luck. So thought of doing some engineering myself on the blogger template and see if anything can be done. Here is the result in my blog. Please have a look and suggest
Thanks guys.

Remixed iNav theme

Was getting bored this Saturday... So thot of doing something nice I took the iNav UI and modded it to my liking, integrating widgets, editing the main menu and revamping the dock. I present you the iNav ANi Remix!






ToDo: The battery status on LockScreen is not visible, gotta fix that. The Slide to Unlock also needs to be enhanced. This theme has been customized for iPod Touch, however by editing the dock icons and placing the Phone and Text/SMS icons this can be converted to an iPhone theme. If anyone wants any help then kindly drop me a message at my blog. Since I am not that frequent here these days you can catch up with the latest version there, even tho I will make every effort to post the updates on Digit Forums.

For those of you who dunno how to install the iPhone/iPod Touch theme, I'm gonna quote the procedure. I'm too lazy to type

[Guide] Things you will need to install this theme:

iPhone/iPod Touch with 2.2.1 Firmware (Tested, might work with older firmware)
Categories V2.23 (Tested, Might Work with older version)

Download Categories V2.23 via Cydia.

Once downloaded make two new categories by clicking on the Add tab on the top right. Call the first one “Games” and the next one “Apps”.

Then place all your games into the Games folder. Next place every app into the Apps folder except for: Clock, Calculator, Notes, Videos, Photos, Settings, Mail, Safari and Music/iPod. Its also a good idea to add apps like Winterboard, Terminal, Categories to the SpringBoard settings Dock.

Install the blank webclips. To do this place the blank webclips (provided) in the folder: /Private/Var/Mobile/Library/Webclips (You will need a software like sshfs, if using Mac OS X or WinSCP, if using Windows).

We now need to install the iNav UI. Do this by placing the iNav folder into: /Library/Themes

Set the blank webclips so that there are 10 webclips in each page and then the application icon (11th icon). Also set Settings, Mail, Safari, iPod/Music icons on the main dock.

Go to Winterboard and select the iNav theme and also the option “No Undocked icon Labels”. Make sure this is above the theme. Respring SB and you are all done!

(Taken from: http://tysiphonehelp.com/?p=2146 and modified accordingly)

Download the iNav ANi Remix here. The original authors have done a wonderful job in creating the UI. Kudos to them

PS: Damn! I seem to haf lost the Gimp XCF source file! I need to work on it again

^^^ Thank you

BTW, I don't see many people who are into modding here (same was the case when I used to post tutorials on SE modding. I guess only Akshay was interested in SE modding). Where are all the nerds and geeks??!!
