Jay Freeman aka saurik aka the guy behind Cydia recently gave a rather interesting TED talk at TEDxAmericanRiviera where he talked about Apple’s “closed” App Store vs. the relatively open Cydia store.
While we recently covered a jailbreak app called Private Area that did the same thing, it simply pales in comparison to the one this post is about: iDiscrete.
Have you ever wanted Android-like panoramic wallpaper scrolling when you switch homescreens on your iPhone or iPod touch? Well, now you can with a tweak for jailbroken iPhones / iPod touches called Parallax.
This is just a little heads up to our earlier story about enabling FaceTime on jailbroken iPhone 3GS. The folks over at iPhoneIslam have released FaceIt which can enable FaceTime calling option on iPhone 3GS.
Quake 3 Arena HD has finally landed on the iPad ! You can now relive the entire Quake 3 experience in full screen glory on your iPad. It even supports both offline and online play, with more levels that can be added via iTunes file sharing feature!
As we posted in our guide on how to jailbreak iOS 4.2 GM on iPhone 3GS; Cydia and a lot of jailbreaking apps are completely broken. Both Cydia and JB apps will, of course, eventually start working and if MuscleNerd’s tweet is anything to go by, hackers chpwn and saurik are burning the midnight oil to get it working as soon as possible.
MobileNanny, at least in my knowledge, is the Mac Daddy of monitoring software for smartphones. It is an A-Z solution for monitoring and recording activity on iPhone (as well as other OSes) for confinement-loving parents, obsessive lovers and employers.
Just a few days ago, we posted a detailed step-by-step guide on how to enable HD video recording on iPhone 3GS. The entire process was - let’s just say - rather tedious. And I say tedious only because enabling HD video on 3GS now is as simple as installing a tweak.
Yes you read that right! As the title suggests, you can now enable HD video recording on your jailbroken iPhone 3GS, running iOS 4.x. ARM Cortex processor on iPhone 3GS is apparently capable of handling 720p video encoding, it is just that Apple has imposed some limitation in the software which Mike has successfully managed to bypass to allow video recording at 1080×800 @ 30fps at up to 20Mbps. The default settings for video recording on iPhone 3GS are: 640×480 @ 3Mbps.
We have already covered a detailed guide on how to activate FaceTime on iPhone 4 in unsupported countries like the one in the Middle East region with FaceTime Hacktivator. If that tweak didn’t work for you, you can give “MiddleWhat” a try which is now available for free for jailbroken iPhones. The official description of the app is as follows.
