Multifl0w – iOS multi-tasking working mechanism

Posted by Siddanth on August 23rd, 2010

Multifl0w is one of the great apps released on Cydia which will be remembered by jailbreakers for months.This shows how Apple should have implemented multitasking into iOS in the first place.Multifl0w is one of the first apps that brought “visual multitasking” to iPhone OS 3.0, has been updated to include support for iOS 4, iPhone 4 and iPad. It works quickly, beautifully, and efficiently on jailbroken iPhones, iPod touches and… iPads!

Multifl0w is pretty similar to the-now-dead ProSwitcher: apps running in the background are visualized as “cards” or “windows” that you can tap on to open. The app requires Backgrounder to run correctly, and you can set up an activation method in Activator. Mine is “short hold” on home button, but you can also ovverride Apple’s double press (for task switcher) on any device running iOS 4. Like I said, the app works fine on iPad and iPhone, although the iPad version doesn’t support landscape mode.The app collaborates with the free “backgrounder” app from Cydia and displays up to 9 apps at a time.

Multifl0w is elegant, the animations are fast and beautiful and it doesn’t eat too much memory in the system. A highly recommended downloaded, especially for iPad jail breakers who still don’t have multitasking. Great job.You can get the app on the Cydia store for $4.99 and you can get more info here via the official site.

Activate Internet tethering on iPhone 4.0.1 for all carriers – TetherMe

Posted by Siddanth on August 16th, 2010

What might be the simplest way to enable Tethering on your iPhone running 4.0.1 iOS ? There might be costly tethering apps like PdaNet ($14.99) or MyWi ($20) which might serve the purpose but if you consider the cheapest alternative(1.99$) then here is one app by the name Tetherme which could be very handy.TetherMe app for iPhone allows you to create a WiFi HotSpot to share 3G or EDGE connection with other PCs and devices such as netbook . TetherMe dynamically enables native internet tethering for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G running iOS 3.x and iOS 4.x on all carrier without any customized bundles or preferences. In other words, TetherMe turns your iPhone into a WiFi router or Wireless Modem (WiFi support arriving next week).

TetherMe has been tested to work on all iOS versions from 3.0 to 4.0.1 and works by telling the iPhone to allow tethering on any APN that is used for iPhone data. As a result, you should not be charged extra from your phone company as all tethering data appears to come from the phone itself.

TetherMe also bypasses signature checking and allows you to edit your carrier bundle manually if you so desire. This is required to enable MMS functionality on T-Mobile. TetherMe does NOT enable the loading of APN configurations from .mobileconfig profiles at this time.

This method can be implemented on almost every carrier without any additional user interaction; However if you decide to tether without your carriers knowledge and then we will not be held responsible for additional charges.

Installation Procedure and using TetherMe to activate Internet Tethering on iPhone

  • Download TetherMe app on your iPhone which is available in Cydia for jailbroken iPhones under BigBoss repository for a $1.99.
  • After installing the app, reboot your iPhone and then navigate to Settings -> General -> Network to enable or disable it or install the Tethering Toggle for SBSettings.

Windows 8 a repetitive taste of Windows 7 success

Posted by Siddanth on August 8th, 2010

Windows 8, as you know should arrive in early-2012, has yet to receive much media attention. That’s probably because the most exciting thing we’ve heard about it so far is that it ‘might’ have an ‘app store’, and other leaks have all been centered around performance improvements (which are a given).Microsoft has a lot riding on Windows 8. Windows Vista hurt Microsoft’s reputation and Windows 7 came as its saviour. Windows 8 needs to be better than Windows 7 in ways that consumers can see, understand, and experience, and it needs to give consumers a reason to upgrade (or cross-grade) for it to equal or surpass Windows 7. The software giant’s latest release of Windows has “skyrocketed” PC sales, and scores a rating of “94 percent customer satisfaction”, according to CEO Steve Ballmer.

For Windows 8 enthusiasts, it’s good to know that Microsoft believes that the team behind Windows 7 can repeat that product’s success. At the Microsoft Financial Analyst Meeting (July 2010), Ballmer spoke on following the success of Windows 7:

“We built the team that I think has a very strong capability now to repeat – not easy – but to repeat the kind of great work that delivered Windows 7 itself, which I think as an investor is an important capability for you to think about.”

iPhone 4 jailbreak enables facetime video calling over 3g thanks to My3G app

Posted by Siddanth on August 4th, 2010

Remember my previous post where I had mentioned about Jailbreaking using jailbreakme 2.0.But one of the things which wasnt working was the mms and facetime.If you read further there i had posted a alternate solution for the same.But thanks to Taimur, with the use of Cydia app named My3G which lets you run WiFi apps over 3G, by which you can enable facetime video calling over 3G. FaceTime video quality appears to be unaffected, but from reports have been seen the frame rates suffer depending on your connection  are pretty much what you’d expect to get when running a video stream optimized for high-bandwidth connections on a smaller pipe. Still, it’s instantly the best reason to jailbreak your phone.In case you feel this jailbreaking is not your cup of tea and you refrain from doing so then Fring lets you do make video calls over 3G without any issues and not only that you can also call from non-iPhone users.

facetime 300x192 iPhone 4 jailbreak enables facetime video calling over 3g thanks to My3G app

Official description of the app is as follows.

Facetime over 3G!!!!

My3G: Take back your 3G! My3G makes Apps believe that they are on WiFi instead of 3G. With My3G, you can now watch HiDef YouTube videos, use Skype/Fring/Other VOIP apps over the 3G network!

Features:

  • In-App popup request to enable/never ask for My3G to be enabled for that app
  • In-App indicator when My3G changes the network from 3G to WiFi
  • Ability to select which apps are My3G enabled and not.
  • Default Apps – no configuration for the most popular apps!
  • SBSettings Toggle! You can temporarily enable My3G for all apps or toggle back using your defined Apps list
  • Dynamic enablement – Higher successs rate (near 100%) then 3G Unrestrictor (which does one off solutions for apps). My3G enables 3G indicators more dynamically.

4.1 Updates

=============

- Facetime over 3G!!!

Setup Instructions:

  • Jailbreak your iPhone 4 via www.jailbreakme.com.
  • Download and upgrade to the latest Cydia package.
  • Open Cydia, Go to Manage then Sources.
  • Click Sources, Edit then add: http://apt.modmyi.com
  • Search for “My3G” — download, and install it.
  • Go through the Rock setup process with a username and password. Open My3G and leave all settings on the default.
  • Face Time should now work over 3G! — Make sure to “Forget” the WiFi network you are on (via iOS settings) if you want to test it.

You will need to first jailbreak with jailbreakme 2.0 first and then once you are done with the jailbreak, goto Cydia, search for “My3G” app and install it. My3G will also install “RockApp” as a part of its package. My3G for iPhone 4 is available on RockApp fo USD $3.99 and its bang for buck.As musclenerd calls its a killer app, it certainly is !
