Jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

xGPS uses Google’s map data and driving directions, adding a real-time navigation readout and a voice engine. You can also select a map area to download ahead of time, just in case you expect to lose your data connection during the drive. There is also a night mode for those who hate bright white screen shining at night.

xGPS without vocalization in already available in Cydia for jailbreaked iPhones. The new version 1.2 will be ready in a week or so.

Sounds like one more reason to jailbreak. Watch the video, how this nice app works:

This is one more solution to add copy/paste functionality to iPhone. Couple days ago we wrote about Clippy. This one is called hClipboard. Avaliable via Cydia (bigboss repository) for jailbreaked iPhones.

Here is a quick tutorial how to use it:

After installing just enable it in Settings → General → Keyboard → International.

Copy:

When the keyboard appears, switch to ℏClipboard by clicking the International button (the Globe) repeatedly. Then hit the Copy button. The entire content of the text field should now appear in the top of the clipboard.

To select portion of a text:

Move the the beginning of the range of text you want to copy. Hit the Select from here… button. Then move to the end and hit the Select to here and copy button (which is the same button) again. The entry will now appear in the clipboard.

Paste:

Just click on any item on the clipboard to paste it. The item just pasted will move to the top of the clipboard. If you need to access some older items, just scroll vertically.

Here ia a quick video:

Clippy adds copy-paste functionality to iPhone and iPod Touch. It is avaliable in Cydia (iSpazio.net repository) for jailbreaked iPhones. The only limitation is you cannot select text in Safari and copy it to clipboard.

It is called iMobileCinema. This Safari plugin is avaliable in Cydia for jailbreaked iPhones. Just add Cydia repository d.imobilecinema.com. Still in beta, but works! Watch the video:

Quite soon MMS will be avaliable for iPhone users via AppStore. The application is called MMSender. The developer published this video:

For now only users of jailbreaked iPhones can send MMS from application called SwirlyMMS.

The developer, Kevin Rose, says this application will be avaliable officially via AppStore. No jailbreaking and hacking. The only concern.. will Apple approve it? I hope so. Watch the video:

PS: It will be free

• Broadcast video live from iPhone

This application is developed by Jay Freeman, the creator of the Cydia. Veency is a free app that allows iPhone owners to remotely control their iPhone from PC or Mac desktop via a VNC client.

Here are some of the features:

• Launch applications on your iPhone
• Reply to emails, text messages, and more
• Rearrange icons
• Lock/Unlock your iPhone
• Browse through Photos and Contacts

Of course you cannot do two finger gestures with this app. All other actions can be done with the click of your mouse. The only area in which Veency fails tragically at is when opening any video recording application on the iPhone.

This application is avaliable for jailbreaked iPhones via Cydia installer.

Be sure to restart your iPhone after installing Veency and connect to the server using a Wi-Fi connection. We recommend using UltraVNC or TightVNC to connect your Windows desktop. If you’re using a Mac, we recommend Chicken VNC.

PwnageTool 2.0.2 released just a day ago. And now WinPwn – iPhone jailbreaker and unlocker for windows is avaliable. The main new feature – it supports firmware 2.0.1.

Download 2.0.0.4: [Rapidshare.com] [Rapidshare.de]

Download firmwares: iPhone 1.1.4, 2.0, 2.0.1, iPhone 3G 2.0, 2.0.1

2.0.0.4 features:

• Support for both 1.1.4, 2.0, 2.0.1
• Root partition resize support
• Installer support
• Support for WinXP and Vista 32/64bit.

Notes are as usual:

• You MUST do a full uninstall of winpwn before installing the new version
• Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (from 7.7)
• WinPwn uses 300MB of ram at peak due to the ipsw being extracted in memory
• You must first click browse and load an IPSW to use WinPwn (i thought this was clear)
• For 2.0 only the *5A347_Restore.ipsw files are valid. The 345 image will not work
• If you see Failed to load image catalog/payload catalog, this is fine and won’t cause problems
• If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix
• As usual jailbreak for iPhone and iPhone 3G, unlock only for iPhone.

• It is recommended to use at least 550mb partition size to accommodate a space issue that causes some folks errors such as “the ipsw failed to create”.

How to:

1. First create a custom IPSW using the IPSW Builder (original are here: iPhone 1.1.4, 2.0, 2.0.1, iPhone 3G 2.0, 2.0.1).
2. Bootloader Images: 3.9 and 4.6 in it here or here.
3. Click “Ipwner” and browse for the custom IPSW that you just created. This will pwn itunes and allow you to flash
4. Custom IPSW files via DFU mode
5. Once you have pwned Itunes, put your phone into DFU mode. If you don’t know how to do this click Here.
6. Once you are in DFU mode Itunes will pop up and then you can hold shift and click restore and browse to your custom IPSW file.

Here is an advanced video tutorial, it shows how to use some advanced features:

DevTeam recently published a video of working PwnageTool 2.0 – for unlocking, activating and jailbreaking IPhne fimware, that will work with the new firmware 2.0.

“Many many hours have gone into this and now it should be as easy enough for your grandmother to use. We’ve added lots of new features, including 2.0 support, spotlight file indexing of .ipsws, canned websearches, installer custom configuration, custom root partitions and various other things that you’ll see on the release. Release date is soon although not this weekend. So check out the video, hopefully it will hold you off until we release.”

PwnageTool works with 2.0 upgraded 1st gen (!) iPhones if they are activated or not.
