Game emulators for iPhone

Despite the fact that you can find incredible number of interesting apps in the iTunes app store, some ground breaking app’s can be found only within Cydia. This comes from the fact that Apple is rigorously checking which app will be accepted in the store. If there is any app which is competing with Apple’s own products it wont make it to the app store at all. Often Cydia app’s are free or at significantly lower price than competing app’s in the iTunes store.

Here are some great games you can find in Cydia.

iPhone modifications and warranty issues

Apple wouldn’t be what it is if it didn’t couple some of the best and some of the worst.

While its hardware, software, product design and overall speaking IT philosophy is groundbreaking it is often combined with the worst kind of command & control worldview. While being much more innovative than the crew from Microsoft, it is also more focused on controlling their business ecosystem.

The worst aspect of this eagerness to control is how the software and the apps are controlled.

Cydia for newcomers

Ever heard your friends talking about Cydia, but wouldn’t dare to ask what it is all about? If your answer is yes, here is our short introduction and explanation.

Cydia is an iPhone software app which manages download and installation of your software packages outside of iTunes store. It will allow you to add repositories (places where you will find apps). Many of repos host free apps. You can easily make your own repo if you ever got that far.

Cydia will work only on jailbroken iPhones. It also includes the Cydia store where you can legally purchase apps from various developers.

Iphone sim card replacement

Did you ever wonder how to change your iPhone sim card?

Apple would like to hide this from you but it is fairly simple to change your sim card. You can use another sim card of your provider or even better, you can change your provider if you jailbreak and unlock your iPhone.

Here is a short guide on how to do it :

The sim card is removable but somewhat hidden. You will need some sharp item to open the sim tray. A paper clip will serve this function good enough.

Unlock Jailbreak for FW 4.2.1 GreenPois0n Released!!!

Finally we have fantastic news for all iPhone and iPad lovers and addicts out there! After a month we have finally received the untethered jailbreak. We had already for about a month the Redsn0w tool at our disposal, which was quite helpful for those who by necessity had to jailbreak with it, but the tethered booting was less than prefect for most of the users.

Verizon IPSW goes online

California based Cupertino company Apple, has published the Verizon ipsw live on its servers and the news had spread like a wildfire in Australian bush.

A famous member of the Dev-team has announced that the brand new iOS 4.2.6 has been released by Apple and he has made available the software keys to everyone interested and capable of using them.

@Musclenerd thinks that there are some possibilities that the limera1n could work as a jailbreak on this new firmware version because the cryptoengine accepted the keys. If the so called i4 crypto engine couldn’t not accept those keys it would mean that limera1n wouldn’t work, but since it was accepted there are hopes that it will work for 4.2.6 too.
