A month ago, we covered a hack known as &#8220;Frash&#8221; that allows users to run Flash on iPad. Now, folks at Grant Pannell has ported the hack to iPhone.

Now, <a href="http://digitaldj.net/2010/08/06/flash-for-iphone-4-yes-frash-0-02/">folks at Grant Pannell</a> has ported the hack to iPhone. </p>
<p>Originally, Frash is developed by comex, the iPhone developer behind <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/2010/05/05/untethered-jailbreak-guide-for-iphone-3-1-3-using-spirit/">Spirit</a> and <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/2010/08/03/complete-guide-how-to-jailbreak-iphone-4-3gs-3g-on-ios-4/">JailbreakMe</a>. The name ‘Frash’ is an abbreviation for Adobe Flash for Android Runtime. Comex developed a compatibility layer to port Frash to Apple’s iOS. As claimed, Frash can run most Flash programs natively in Mobile Safari browser.</p>
<p>As of now, the Frash hack is still under testing. It is claimed to work on both iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. If you are adventurous and want to be an early adopter, you can check out <a href="http://www.redmondpie.com/install-flash-frash-on-iphone-4-how-to-video-guide/">Redmondpie</a> for the installation guide. Otherwise, just check out the video after the break to see how Frash works.<br />

<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7980" src="http://www.simonblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/openappmkt1-250x375.png" alt="" width="250" height="375" />Apple has often been publicly blasted for its closed-door approach on the iTunes App Store. While the company was smart to block jailbroken devices from accessing its app store, it has no answer, at least for the moment, to <a href="http://openappmkt.com/">OpenAppMkt</a> &#8211; a web-based application which offers a selection of HTML apps to users, thereby creating a pseudo-app store. If these were native apps, Apple could&#8217;ve quickly blocked it.</p>
<p>Developed by Teck Chia, Flora Sun and Tim Wuu, OpenAppMkt is a piece of smart thinking and quick implementation. And the best part - though Apple will hate it, it has no control over it. Similar to App Store &amp; Cydia, OpenAppMkt offers both free and paid apps, albeit &#8211; only those which run within the Safari browser.</p>
<p><span id="more-7978"></span></p>
<p>The installation of OpenAppMkt is easy and quick &#8211; just visit the <a href="http://help.openappmkt.com/">OpenAppMkt website</a> and follow the onscreen instructions. It creates an OpenAppMkt icon on your iPhone&#8217;s home screen. Bear in mind, that when you download an app through OpenAppMkt, it actually doesn&#8217;t install anything on your phone, it merely creates a Safari bookmark on your homescreen.</p>
<p>As it covers only browser-based apps, it doesn&#8217;t offer the same variety as the iTunes Store or Cydia. However, if you wanted to save the hassles of jailbreaking in order to access an alternative app store, OpenAppMkt is surely a dream come true for you.</p>
<p>As a developer, you can get your app listed on OpenAppMkt for free. However, developers who sell paid web apps will need to share 20 percent of their revenues with the founders. Chia insists that many iOS apps on the iTunes App Store are actually built with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS and then compiled into an app before being sent to the iTunes store for sale or download.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a video of the OpenAppMkt app in action.</p>
<p><center><object width="400" height="727"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13669790&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13669790&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="727"></embed></object></center></p>

<p>This is one of the frequently-asked questions and a concern raised by some of the iPhone users. Now, with the announcement from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit digital rights group, the answer is clear. Jailbreak and unlocking iPhone is not illegal and do not violate the copyright law, as a result of <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/1201/">new rules set by the Copyright Office</a>. </p>
<p>As an iPhone user, you have the right to free your iPhone to work with other carriers and install unauthorized applications outside the Apple&#8217;s App Store on iPhone.</p>
<p>Here is the excerpt of <a href="http://www.eff.org/press/archives/2010/07/26">the EFF&#8217;s announcement</a>:<br />
<span id="more-7827"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>The first of EFF&#8217;s three successful requests clarifies the legality of cell phone &#8220;jailbreaking&#8221; — software modifications that liberate iPhones and other handsets to run applications from sources other than those approved by the phone maker. More than a million iPhone owners are said to have &#8220;jailbroken&#8221; their handsets in order to change wireless providers or use applications obtained from sources other than Apple&#8217;s own iTunes &#8220;App Store,&#8221; and many more have expressed a desire to do so. But the threat of DMCA liability had previously endangered these customers and alternate applications stores.</p>
<p>In its reasoning in favor of EFF&#8217;s jailbreaking exemption, the Copyright Office rejected Apple&#8217;s claim that copyright law prevents people from installing unapproved programs on iPhones: &#8220;When one jailbreaks a smartphone in order to make the operating system on that phone interoperable with an independently created application that has not been approved by the maker of the smartphone or the maker of its operating system, the modifications that are made purely for the purpose of such interoperability are fair uses.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>For those who are new to jailbreaking, it is a process to free iPhone from Apple&#8217;s closed ecosystem. iPhone hackers have developed free tools such as <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/2010/06/30/ios-4-jailbreak-guide-for-iphone-3g-3gs-using-pwnagetool/">PwnageTool</a>, <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/tag/redsn0w/">Redsn0w</a> and <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/2010/05/05/untethered-jailbreak-guide-for-iphone-3-1-3-using-spirit/">Spirit</a> to jailbreak the iPhone. With a jailbroken iPhone, you are allowed to install iPhone apps which are outside Apple&#8217;s App Store. Jailbreaking is also an essential process to unlock the iPhone to work with any mobile carrier.</p>
<p>So, does it mean Apple officially allows iPhone jailbreaking?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get it wrong. The announcement just makes clear the legality of iPhone jailbreak. That doesn&#8217;t mean Apple needs to open up the iPhone OS or supports jailbreaking. Right after the EFF&#8217;s announcement, according to <a href="http://www.cultofmac.com/apples-official-response-to-dmca-jailbreak-exemption-it-voids-your-warranty/52463">CultOfMac</a>, Apple has responded with a press release stating that jailbreak voids the warranty, though it doesn&#8217;t violate the law. </p>
<blockquote><p>Apple’s goal has always been to insure that our customers have a great experience with their iPhone and we know that jailbreaking can severely degrade the experience. As we’ve said before, the vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones as this can violate the warranty and can cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably.</p></blockquote>
<p>For all iPhone jailbreakers, the ruling is a big win. You are legally allowed to gain full control of your iPhone. However,, let me take this opportunity to make clear one point. By jailbreaking, it doesn&#8217;t mean you are allowed to download pirated applications (via hack like installous) onto the iPhone. That&#8217;s illegal and that&#8217;s NOT the purpose of jailbreaking. As mentioned in the ruling, all applications should be legally obtained. In other words, other than those free apps, you still have to pay for the paid apps (no matter it is from App Store or Cydia). Let&#8217;s reward the hard work of the iPhone developers. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.tipb.com/tag/geohot/">Geohot</a> has updated his blog to let us know that he&#8217;s apparently jailbroken his iPhone 4 in less than one day.  There&#8217;s a little caveat though &#8212; he&#8217;s said he probably won&#8217;t release it.  Well I guess my question is, what&#8217;s the point in posting it up then?  Most people are familiar with Geohot&#8217;s blackra1n and purplera1n jailbreak tools.  They were simple and downright easy.</p>

<p>He also took the time to mention the rumors of limera1n.com &#8212; basically stating that it&#8217;s no more than a waterdrop on the web and he&#8217;s never mentioned it before, so don&#8217;t read too much into it.  My opinion? A picture of Cydia on an iPhone 4 is pretty unconvincing.  He certainly has the skills and the record to find an exploit and jailbreak iPhone 4, but why no video, and why no seeming interest in releasing it?</p>

<p>To say the least, the reason for the post is confusing.</p>

<p>As for now, we&#8217;ve got <a href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/29/how-to-jailbreak-ios-4/">PwnageToo</a>l 4.0.1 for iOS4, but iPhone 4 users are going to have to wait a while longer.  I guess we&#8217;ll see what the Dev Team and Spirit developers come up with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29887" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/07/01/jailbreak-app-review-irealsms-30-iphone/img_0445-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29887" title="iRealSMS 3.0" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/IMG_0445-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>iRealSMS 3.0 for iPhone is a jailbreak utility that you can use in place of the default messaging app.  Up until this point, I had always used QuickReply for SMS.  A several of you TiPb&#8217;ers recommended I look at iRealSMS 3.0 so I did. And I&#8217;m impressed.  iRealSMS 3.0 exceeds the features of QuickReply for SMS by a landslide.</p>

<p><span id="more-29886"></span></p>

<p>When you launch the app, you&#8217;re greeted with a screen that shows 3 tabs along the bottom; folders, conversations, and settings.  Everything you need is in one easy to access place.  I like that aspect a lot, as most apps put their user configurations in settings, which just means you have to go one more place to make changes.  I wish more developers would start including settings within their applications.</p>

<p>One thing I didn&#8217;t like about QuickReply was if you closed out of a text, you still had to exit out of what you were doing in order to respond.  This isn&#8217;t the case with iRealSMS 3.0, you simply set a shortcut in your settings to be able to access Quick Send.  I love this feature as I&#8217;m really forgetful.  I will be playing a game or reading news feeds and think of 2 other things I needed to tell someone and have to close out of my current task in order to do it.  With iRealSMS, this is no longer a problem for me.</p>

<p>You also have the option of a blacklist feature.  You can also choose to have all texts sent by a blacklisted number automatically deleted.  Another feature that most texting apps lack is delivery notification.  Very handy feature.  Some users reported it didn&#8217;t work but I tested it with a friend and it seemed to work okay with me.</p>

<p>Emoji also show up in an easy to access drop down menu or you can choose to have any emoticons you type out automatically turned into Emoji.  I remember last summer Leanna introduced me to the world of Emoji via the app store, and I haven&#8217;t been able to go a day without them since (thanks Leanna!).</p>

<p>The price tag for iRealSMS 3.0 is a bit steep compared to that of its counterparts, but for the feature set you get, the $9.99 price tag may be well justified.  There&#8217;s a free trial as well, so you can always try it out and see if it seems like a good value to you, and purchase after giving it a test run.</p>

<p>iRealSMS also has an iRealNetwork, as they call it, which will allow you to buy texting credits if you don&#8217;t wish to have a texting package.  The current rate is 8 EURO cents per text (of course you&#8217;ll have to convert that to your own currency).  In almost every case, that&#8217;ll average out to a heck of a lot cheaper than standard texting plans cost for those of you who are looking to save some cash or cut out texting charges.</p>

<p>If you picked up iRealSMS 3.0 or have another jailbreak text supplement you use, let us know what you think in the comments!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29887" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/07/01/jailbreak-app-review-irealsms-30-iphone/img_0445-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29887" title="iRealSMS 3.0" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/IMG_0445-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>iRealSMS 3.0 for iPhone is a jailbreak utility that you can use in place of the default messaging app.  Up until this point, I had always used QuickReply for SMS.  A several of you TiPb&#8217;ers recommended I look at iRealSMS 3.0 so I did. And I&#8217;m impressed.  iRealSMS 3.0 exceeds the features of QuickReply for SMS by a landslide.</p>

<p><span id="more-29886"></span></p>

<p>When you launch the app, you&#8217;re greeted with a screen that shows 3 tabs along the bottom; folders, conversations, and settings.  Everything you need is in one easy to access place.  I like that aspect a lot, as most apps put their user configurations in settings, which just means you have to go one more place to make changes.  I wish more developers would start including settings within their applications.</p>

<p>One thing I didn&#8217;t like about QuickReply was if you closed out of a text, you still had to exit out of what you were doing in order to respond.  This isn&#8217;t the case with iRealSMS 3.0, you simply set a shortcut in your settings to be able to access Quick Send.  I love this feature as I&#8217;m really forgetful.  I will be playing a game or reading news feeds and think of 2 other things I needed to tell someone and have to close out of my current task in order to do it.  With iRealSMS, this is no longer a problem for me.</p>

<p>You also have the option of a blacklist feature.  You can also choose to have all texts sent by a blacklisted number automatically deleted.  Another feature that most texting apps lack is delivery notification.  Very handy feature.  Some users reported it didn&#8217;t work but I tested it with a friend and it seemed to work okay with me.</p>

<p>Emoji also show up in an easy to access drop down menu or you can choose to have any emoticons you type out automatically turned into Emoji.  I remember last summer Leanna introduced me to the world of Emoji via the app store, and I haven&#8217;t been able to go a day without them since (thanks Leanna!).</p>

<p>The price tag for iRealSMS 3.0 is a bit steep compared to that of its counterparts, but for the feature set you get, the $9.99 price tag may be well justified.  There&#8217;s a free trial as well, so you can always try it out and see if it seems like a good value to you, and purchase after giving it a test run.</p>

<p>iRealSMS also has an iRealNetwork, as they call it, which will allow you to buy texting credits if you don&#8217;t wish to have a texting package.  The current rate is 8 EURO cents per text (of course you&#8217;ll have to convert that to your own currency).  In almost every case, that&#8217;ll average out to a heck of a lot cheaper than standard texting plans cost for those of you who are looking to save some cash or cut out texting charges.</p>

In lieu of iOS4 and iPhone 4 next week, we know a lot of you will be upgrading to either a new OS or new hardware altogether.  Those of you that jailbreak may find backing up your jailbroken apps a lot easier than reinstalling everything once you re-jailbreak.  Now keep in mind, I wouldn&#8217;t suggest [...]<p><a href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/22/jailbreak-howto-apps-rock-cydia/">Jailbreak How-To: Back Up Apps in Rock and Cydia</a> is a story by <a href="http://www.tipb.com">TiPb</a>.

<p>In lieu of <a href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/14/ios-4-walkthrough/">iOS4</a> and <a href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/07/apple-announces-iphone-4/">iPhone 4</a> next week, we know a lot of you will be upgrading to either a new OS or new hardware altogether.  Those of you that jailbreak may find backing up your jailbroken apps a lot easier than reinstalling everything once you re-jailbreak.  Now keep in mind, I wouldn&#8217;t suggest upgrading if you&#8217;re unlocked as unlocks are never a sure thing until they&#8217;re released.  But if you&#8217;re just jailbreaking, we&#8217;re already <a href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/08/ios-4-jailbroken-day-gm-release/">aware</a> of a working jailbreak that&#8217;s ready for iOS4.  Given nothing changes, this should ease your transition.</p>

<p>Before we proceed, one more warning; as with any OS upgrade on iDevices, not all apps will be compatible immediately.  We saw this with 3.0 with things such as custom keyboards not working.  This may very well be the case again, so if you have jailbreak apps you just can&#8217;t live without, make SURE they&#8217;ll be compatible with iOS4 before you upgrade. Now hit the jump for Cydia and Rock back-up walkthroughs!</p>

<p><span id="more-31375"></span>
<h2><strong>Cydia</strong></h2>
<a rel="attachment wp-att-31384" href="http://www.tipb.com/?attachment_id=31384"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-31384" title="Cydia" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/Cydia_logo_and_icon_by_zandog-200x200.png" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a></p>

<p>Now Cydia is a little bit more complicated than Rock, but a lot of users much prefer Cydia, so we&#8217;ll cover this one first. It&#8217;s still a pretty easy process.  To backup your jailbroken apps via Cydia, you&#8217;ll need to download a free app called Aptbackup.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-31379" href="http://www.tipb.com/?attachment_id=31379"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31379" title="Cydia Aptbackup" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/IMG_0561-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>Once you&#8217;ve got Aptbackup installed, you&#8217;ll see this icon on your homescreen:</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-31382" href="http://www.tipb.com/?attachment_id=31382"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31382" title="Aptbackup" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/IMG_0563-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>Tap that icon and you&#8217;ll see 2 buttons, backup and restore. Before you upgrade or do anything, click backup.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-31383" href="http://www.tipb.com/?attachment_id=31383"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31383" title="Aptbackup Main Screen" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/IMG_0564-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>After you do this, you&#8217;ll need to sync with iTunes. This will allow Aptbackup to sync your jailbroken apps to your PC/Mac.  After you&#8217;ve done this you are okay to go ahead and install iOS4.  After your install is finished, go ahead and sync/backup with iTunes.</p>

<p>Once you&#8217;ve restored from your backup in iTunes, go ahead and re-jailbreak.  Then go into Cydia and re-download Aptbackup.  This time you&#8217;ll click the restore button.  This will restore all your jailbreak apps.  Easy enough, right?  Now lets cover Rock users&#8230;
<h2><strong>Rock</strong></h2>
<a rel="attachment wp-att-31385" href="http://www.tipb.com/?attachment_id=31385"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31385" title="Rockyourphone" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/image67.png" alt="" width="267" height="229" /></a></p>

<p>Rock&#8217;s process is dead simple.  Every Rock user should already have a Rock ID, if you don&#8217;t, you&#8217;ll need to get one in order to save backups to it, so that after a new OS install or restore, you can just sign into your ID and have your backups waiting.  After you&#8217;ve saved everything to your Rock ID, you can do your restore.  After you re-jailbreak and install Rock, you&#8217;ll just sign in and click on your settings tab like below:</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-31405" href="http://www.tipb.com/?attachment_id=31405"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31405" title="Rock Settings 2" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/edited-copy-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>You&#8217;re going to want to click Settings and scroll down a ways.  You&#8217;ll see app backup options.  Now before you start installing a new OS, you need to make sure Rock is actually making backups for you. The option to save packages to your Rock ID should always be checked. If it isn&#8217;t, check it and make SURE you have a backup if you&#8217;re using Rock.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-31377" href="http://www.tipb.com/?attachment_id=31377"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31377" title="App Backups in Rock" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/IMG_0559-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>All you&#8217;re going to do here is choose &#8220;Restore from Backup&#8221; &#8211; you&#8217;ll then be presented with however many backups you have saved to your Rock ID. I normally choose the most recent under most circumstances.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-31378" href="http://www.tipb.com/?attachment_id=31378"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31378" title="Choose Rock Backup" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/06/IMG_0560-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it! Rock will do the rest for you.  It may take a bit depending on how many packages you have installed, so if need be, turn your auto-lock to never and plug your phone in, leave Rock open, and let it do its thing!</p>

<p>Now you&#8217;re all ready for a new jailbreak on iOS4!  Questions, comments? Leave &#8216;em below!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29668" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/13/jailbreak-howto-build-edit-custom-iphone-theme/img_0439-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29668" title="IMG_0439" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0439-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.tipb.com/tag/jailbreak/">jailbreak</a> community offers an abundance of tools that allow you to make your iPhone fit your personality and mood.  If you&#8217;re anything like me, I can be pretty picky about layouts and exactly how my phone is set up.  I want all my most frequently used apps in one place, neat and tidy, and ready to use.</p>

<p>For some iPhone users, that plain black background and all the stock icons get pretty boring.  I change my theme on my iPhone a couple times a month, if not more.  There are several jailbreak tools that can help turn your iPhone from boring, to brilliant.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s always one problem with paid and free themes, you get what the theme developer gives you.  There may be some theme elements you don&#8217;t like at all, or ones that are missing that you&#8217;d like to add.  There are several ways to edit themes and customize them to fit you individually. Today, we&#8217;ll show you how to do just that.</p>

<p><span id="more-29511"></span></p>

<p>There&#8217;s a couple things you&#8217;ll need in order to do this:
<ol>
    <li>Winterboard &#8211; Free via Cydia and Rock</li>
    <li>Custom theme &#8211; This can be your choice, paid or free. I chose iTopSB for this tutorial by ToyVan, available in Cydia and Rock for $1.99</li>
    <li>OpenSSH &#8211; Free via Cydia and Rock</li>
    <li>SBSettings &#8211; Convenient to toggle SSH and other settings on and off, Free via Cydia and Rock</li>
    <li>iWipeCache &#8211; Clears your springboard cache for you instead of having to do it manually, Free via Cydia and Rock</li>
    <li>SSHClient &#8211; Several free and paid available for PC and Mac. <a href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/05/20/jailbreak-howto-ssh-basics-theme-editing/">Here&#8217;s</a> an earlier article that links to popular choices</li>
    <li>Optional installs: iBlank, FontSwap, CategoriesSB (there is a free version but I highly recommend CategoriesSB over plain Categories, it&#8217;s worth the $0.99), FiveiRows, FiveIconDock (I say optional as these are totally user preference and not neccessary if you don&#8217;t want them &#8211; they&#8217;re all free so give them a try, you can always disable and they&#8217;ll be there later if you want to use them with a different theme at some other point).</li>
</ol>
After you have all of the above and any of the optionals you think interest you, continue on.</p>

<p>First thing I recommend doing is going into your iPhone&#8217;s settings and turn the auto-lock to never. You can do this by going to Settings, General, Auto-Lock, and check Never.  Sometimes if your phone goes to sleep while you&#8217;re making changes to the file system via SSH, it&#8217;ll disconnect you and certain files may not transfer.  I also recommend having your phone charging throughout the SSH process. Using SSH and having the backlight on constantly will deplete your battery pretty quick.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29664" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/13/jailbreak-howto-build-edit-custom-iphone-theme/img_0433-3/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29664" title="IMG_0433" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0433-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>Next, toggle SSH on via SBSettings if you haven&#8217;t already.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29665" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/13/jailbreak-howto-build-edit-custom-iphone-theme/img_0434/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29665" title="IMG_0434" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0434-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>Now you&#8217;ll need to open your SSH client on your computer and SSH into your phone. If you aren&#8217;t sure how to do this, read <a href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/05/20/jailbreak-howto-ssh-basics-theme-editing/">this</a> article first. Your iPhone&#8217;s IP address is also easily found via SBSettings as seen in the above screenshot.</p>

<p>After you have gotten into the main file system of your iPhone, you&#8217;ll need to go into your Themes folder. The easiest way to do this is with the shortcuts in the main directory.  Just go to Library, Themes.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29670" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/13/jailbreak-howto-build-edit-custom-iphone-theme/screen-shot-2010-05-17-at-8-09-25-pm-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29670" title="Screen shot 2010-05-17 at 8.09.25 PM" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/Screen-shot-2010-05-17-at-8.09.25-PM1-400x251.png" alt="" width="400" height="251" /></a></p>

<p>Now I can see a list of all my themes that I have installed via Winterboard.  Before continuing on, I think it&#8217;s imperative to explain a little about why Winterboard is such a powerful tool.  Some themes can be customized completely without even having to SSH into your iPhone with the use of Winterboard alone.  Lets say for example, I have a theme I bought through Cydia, but I don&#8217;t like the chat bubbles.  That&#8217;s something I can fix easily via Winterboard.  I can download chat bubbles I do like, select them in Winterboard, and just drag them higher up in Winterboard than the main theme. My chat bubbles will now override the chat bubbles in the theme.  That&#8217;s because Winterboard works as a hierarchy.  Things at the top take precedence over those further down in the list.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29663" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/13/jailbreak-howto-build-edit-custom-iphone-theme/img_0432-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29663" title="IMG_0432" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0432-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>Use this to your advantage.  Sometimes I don&#8217;t like the sounds a theme comes with, so I&#8217;ll simply download a sound pack I do like, drag it higher than the theme in Winterboard, and it overrides the theme default sounds.  This is especially useful for times when you&#8217;re not near a computer and need a quick fix.  It doesn&#8217;t replace the power of actual editing via SSH, but it&#8217;s definitely useful.</p>

<p>Alright, now for editing a theme.  I chose iTopSB for this example.  This is a very beautiful and extensive theme but there are certain things that just don&#8217;t suit my taste in this theme, so I want to remove them.</p>

<p>These are the items I&#8217;m going to remove in this tutorial:
<ul>
    <li>Splash/loading screens</li>
    <li>Lock background</li>
    <li>Arrow UI elements inside the mail app</li>
</ul>
I may remove or show a couple more in the video as well.</p>

<p>Another tip, I always copy the entire theme to my desktop on my iMac. Then I rename it something like &#8220;iTopSB Edited&#8221; and drag it back over.  That&#8217;s the copy I edit.  Then, when you receive updates via Rock and Cydia for a theme, you don&#8217;t have to do this process everytime.  It&#8217;ll update the main theme and not your edited theme.  Then you can go apply the main theme, see if there&#8217;s any new additions you&#8217;d like to bring over to your edit version, and do that if need be.  It makes life much easier than re-tweaking a theme everytime an update is issued.</p>

<p>Alright, first thing in our list is splash screens.  These always irritate me in themes. I know some people really like them, but to me, all they do is increase the time it takes for an app to load and be useful.  Therefore, I remove them.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29666" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/13/jailbreak-howto-build-edit-custom-iphone-theme/img_0435-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29666" title="iTopSB Splash Screens" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0435-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>Splash screens are typically located inside the main theme folder in a folder called &#8220;Folders&#8221;.  Inside that folder, you&#8217;ll fine typical stock and popular apps that the developer has made splash screens for. You&#8217;ll have to go into each of these folders and delete the splash screen PNG in order to get rid of them.  Depending on what you need/want from that folder, you can sometimes get away with just deleting the entire &#8220;Folders&#8221; folder with no damage to the theme but ridding yourself of splash screens and other extra UI tweaks that aren&#8217;t technically necessary.</p>

<p>Again, this is all a matter of personal preference.  Some people like extra UI images and tweaks.  To me, I may want my iPhone to look different, but I don&#8217;t want the UI bogged down. I still want a clean look, not cluttered.  This is why I always clean up themes to suit my personal taste.  I figure if anything, this process will teach some of you how to find what you&#8217;re looking for when deleting theme elements and get you more comfortable with the folder systems and where to find things inside a theme folder.</p>

<p>Alright, I&#8217;ve found my splash screens, and in my case, since there was nothing inside that specific folder I wanted, I&#8217;ve went ahead and deleted it completely in my edited theme.</p>

<p>Next we move to the lock background.  I typically like my own picture on my lockscreen.  So I&#8217;ll just go into the main theme folder and delete the file called LockBackground.png.  That&#8217;s it.  Pretty easy, eh?</p>

<p>For our final deletion, we&#8217;ll have to find what UI element is creating the little pesky arrows in the mail app that I&#8217;m just not to crazy about.  And keep in mind, you aren&#8217;t always going to know exactly where these elements are. There are a few different ways theme developers can form their file structure. So where I may put certain UI elements, another developer may choose another folder syntax.  For the most part, it&#8217;s universal, but certain things, such as Icons, can be done a few ways.  Most SSH clients have nice preview features that allow you to preview files and see if it&#8217;s what you&#8217;re looking for.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29667" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/06/13/jailbreak-howto-build-edit-custom-iphone-theme/img_0436-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29667" title="IMG_0436" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0436-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>In my case, most of the culprits were always found in Library/Themes/&#8221;ThemeName&#8221;/Folders or Library/Themes/&#8221;ThemeName&#8221;/UIImages</p>

<p>You&#8217;ll probably have the most luck looking for things in those two locations.  Check out the video for a walkthrough and a couple other tips and tricks!</p>

<p><img src="http://www.simonblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/iPad-iPhone-apps.jpg" alt="" title="iPad iPhone apps" width="163" height="210" class="alignright size-full wp-image-6924" />One selling point of iPad is you are able to tap into all iPhone apps available on App Store. Obviously, all iPhone apps are compatible with iPad. However, there is a catch. If you own an iPad, you know it&#8217;s a poor experience to use iPhone apps on iPad. It just looks odd!</p>
<p>When you run iPhone app on iPad, it&#8217;s not in full screen mode by default. What you get is an iPhone simulator running inside the iPad. The device comes with a &#8220;2X&#8221; button to bump up the size of the iPhone app. </p>
<p>I love the idea but the app looks grainy with the pixel doubling feature. For those who do not own an iPad, here are a couple of screenshots showing how iPhone app runs on iPad. The picture on your left is how iPad runs iPhone app by default. The pic on your right is with the &#8220;2X&#8221; feature enabled.<br />
<span id="more-6915"></span><br />
<center><img src="http://www.simonblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/iPhone-App-in-iPad.jpg" alt="" title="iPhone App in iPad" width="250" height="333"/><img src="http://www.simonblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/iPhone-App-in-iPad-2X.jpg" alt="" title="iPhone App in iPad 2X" width="250" height="333" /></center></p>
<p>Like me, if you don&#8217;t the pixel doubling feature and want to run iPhone apps in full screen mode on iPad, the FullForce application is right for you.</p>
<p>Developed by <a href="http://twitter.com/rpetrich">Ryan Petrich</a>, FullForce is a cydia application that targets to force iPhone app to run in native resolution of the iPad and without the distortion of the pixel doubling feature. </p>
<p>Just take a look at the below screenshot. I run the same iPhone app with FullForce. It looks gorgeous and just like a native iPad application.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.simonblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/iPhone-App-in-iPad-with-FullForce.jpg" alt="" title="iPhone App in iPad with FullForce" width="400" height="533" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6919" /></p>
<p>To use FullForce, you need to have a <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/2010/05/06/how-to-jailbreak-ipad-3-2-using-spirit/">jailbroken iPad</a>. The FullForce app is available for free in cydia. Simply search the term &#8220;FullForce&#8221; in cydia to download it. </p>
<p>Once installed on your iPad, go to &#8220;Settings&#8221; and then tap &#8220;FullForce&#8221;. Here you find a list of iPhone apps available on the iPad. To force those iPhone apps to run in full screen mode, simply flip the switch to ON. Next time, when you launch the app, FullForce will automatically push the iPhone app to full screen mode.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.simonblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/FullForce-Settings.jpg" alt="" title="FullForce Settings" width="400" height="533" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6922" /></p>
<p>However, don&#8217;t expect the FullForce app can force every iPhone app to run in full screen mode. From what I tested, common iPhone apps such as <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/2010/01/09/facebook-3-1-for-iphone-adds-contact-sync-and-push-notification/">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/2010/05/20/official-twitter-app-for-iphone-is-finally-here/">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.simonblog.com/2010/02/13/beejiveim-updated-to-v3-2-with-performance-enhancement-and-bug-fixes/">Beejive</a> work perfectly with FullForce. Some apps particularly for iPhone games do not work with the full screen hack. Anyhow, FullForce is a great hack for jailbroken iPad.</p>
<p>Since launch, the developer has rolled out several bug fixes release for FullForce, Hopefully, it will support more iPhone apps in near future. </p>
<p>What do you think about FullForce? If you find any of the common iPhone apps that doesn&#8217;t work with FullForce, remember to leave comment and share with us.</p>

<p>We get a lot of questions about tweaking Jailbroken iPhones, so here are a few handy tools that are free and don&#8217;t require a lot of know-how in order to implement.  All you need is a bit of spare time to change your Jailbroken iPhone from stock to stunning!</p>

<p><span id="more-29233"></span></p>

<h2>Fontswap</h2>

<p>First up is FontSwap, which allows you to change the system fonts on your iPhone. It can be found in Rock and Cydia for free.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29237" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/05/27/how-to-tweak-jailbreak-iphone/img_0414/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29237" title="FontSwap Splash" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0414-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>On the main page of FontSwap you can choose to change fonts on different parts of your phone. There are certain times I have the Lock Clock font set different than the system wide fonts, and that&#8217;s okay too. Whatever suits you.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29238" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/05/27/how-to-tweak-jailbreak-iphone/img_0415/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29238" title="FontSwap Main" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0415-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a>I always get a lot of requests for the font I use.  It&#8217;s call Simpsons font and it&#8217;s available for free in Cydia and Rock.  FontSwap will come with a few default fonts to choose from, but you can download lots more for free.  Just go into Cydia or Rock and search for fontswap.  You&#8217;ll get tons of new fonts you can browse and download.  Once you download them, they&#8217;ll automatically go into FontSwap for you to apply.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29239" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/05/27/how-to-tweak-jailbreak-iphone/img_0416/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29239" title="Fonts in Rock" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0416-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<h2>Chat Bubbles</h2>

<p>Another tweak I enjoy using is changing chat bubble colors.  This can be done one of two ways.  You can either <a href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/05/20/jailbreak-howto-ssh-basics-theme-editing/">make your own chat theme</a> or you can search Rock and Cydia for &#8220;sms bubbles&#8221; and &#8220;sms balloons&#8221; and apply them via Winterboard.  There aren&#8217;t a lot to choose from but making your own is pretty easy.  DeviantArt and forums like modmyi.com have a ton of users that post up chat bubbles and balloon templates you can use for your own personal use.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29236" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/05/27/how-to-tweak-jailbreak-iphone/img_0413/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29236" title="FontSwap Fonts" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0413-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<h2>iBlank and BlankNull</h2>

<p>Our last tweak for today is iBlank.  If you&#8217;re jailbroken and anything like me, you want to actually see your background.  I accomplish this with iBlank.  It basically produces blank icons for you that allow you to move them around like you would apps in order to see your backgrounds.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-29235" href="http://www.tipb.com/2010/05/27/how-to-tweak-jailbreak-iphone/img_0412/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-29235" title="iBlank" src="http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/05/IMG_0412-266x400.png" alt="" width="266" height="400" /></a></p>

<p>I also installed a free app from Cydia called &#8220;BlankNull&#8221; as well.  This way, your blank icons become unclickable.  Pretty neat, eh?  I frequently reorder icons in L shapes, just along the bottom, or on a side depending on what part of a picture I want to see.  iBlank makes it really easy.</p>

<p>Have any cool apps you use to tweak out your jailbroken iPhone? Let us know and maybe we&#8217;ll include those next time!</p>
