Previously we informed you about Cydia and Rock Your Phone merger. The main purpose behind the merger was to bring all the best jailbroken apps under one roof! And now, a new major update is underway as we write this which promises to brings lots of new features and performance enhancement to Cydia store.
A new tweak which goes by the name of SecretSMS is now available for jailbroken iPhones which allows you to send secret SMS text messages to any mobile phone. Recipient wont be able to read the message until he or she knows the password for the encrypted message.
In light of the recent relaxed App Store restrictions, Apple has started allowing previously unallowed apps into their App Store. The biggest beneficiaries of the relaxed restrictions were Google Voice apps which weren't allowed before (since they duplicated features that iPhone comes with). We posted about two such apps: GV Connect and GV Mobile+. Both cost a very reasonable $2.99. But today, we have received information that GV Mobile+ is available for free just for today!
Just like we once proved that iMovie is possible on iPhone 3GS, only yesterday we posted a video which showed that running Game Center was actually possible on the older iPhone 3G. That, and of course, HDR photos on 3G and 3GS (with a somewhat complicated guide here).
Sn0wbreeze 2.0.2 is now available for download. This minor release fixes various bugs which has been plaguing some iPhone users when restoring to iOS 4.1 custom firmware file.
Vincent has just tweeted that the SHAtter exploit based jailbreak for iOS 4.1 for iPhone 4 / iPod touch 4 and iPad will be released soon. Why would we do an entire post after a simple tweet? Well, that’s because good ol’ Vincent here is the administrator of The iPhone Wiki (an encyclopedia which collects, stores and provides info on iPhone hacks), so the source is authentic and extremely reliable.
I have got the new iOS 4.1 Game Center working almost perfectly on iPhone 3G, running iOS 4.1. All thanks to the latest Redsn0w 0.9.6 which makes jailbreaking possible on iPhone 3G, running iOS 4.1.
Sn0wbreeze has just been updated to version 2.0.1 to fix iTunes Error 37 which has been problematic for some iPhone 3G users when restoring to the custom firmware file. According to Deon Yeang on Redmond Pie’s facebook page, the error occurs when you are in midway of restoring to the custom cooked firmware using iTunes.
Sn0wbreeze 2.0 is out! Just like PwnageTool for Mac, you can now cook custom firmwares of iOS 4.1 on Windows without upgrading the baseband, which ultimately means that you can use ultrasn0w unlock software to unlock your phone on the older baseband.
While we are all waiting for jailbreak tools for iOS 4.1 (based on SHAtter exploit) to release officially, a fake tool is floating around the interwebs under the name of GreenPois0n which is claiming to jailbreak all iOS devices from 4.0.2 and above. The fake tool is actually a very dangerous malware which upon running which steal passwords (though it is not clear if it steals passwords from your iOS device or PC). I repeat: it is not the real GreenPois0n tool which is expected to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on iPhone 4, iPod touch and iPad.
