Jailbreak Iphone

DrockNJ · 08-25-2009, 01:42 PM

anyone here jailbroken their iphone yet? i've got a 3gs and just did it the other night. it's pretty sweet and really easy to do. Anyone have any good apps to pick up for it?

iBlacklist and SBSettings are the 2 apps that i Jailbreak for.

Winterboard for themes, Cyntact is extremely cool, 3G unrestrictor so you could use Skype and watch high-quality YouTube videos while on 3G.

And if you are a nerd, then SSH and Netatalk (mostly for mac users) are very useful.

Intelliscreen is really useful for checking e-mail/calendar/weather at an eye's glance.

And like solefald suggested, SBSettings is very good too.

Jailbroke apps:

Bossprefs - fast toggle switches (wifi, bluetooth, dock, etc)
CallMe - One touch dial icons on the springboard
Five Icon dock - put 5 apps on bottom dock (instead of 4)
MxTube - download Youtube and store locally
PrivaCy - prevent apps from spying on you.
SBSettings - actually this is more of a replacement for Bossprefs
StatusNotifier - Email, SMS, Call, Voicemail notification in the status bar
Winterboard - springboard themes

RedLaser (beta) - bar code scanner that uses camera to automatically search the web (google?) for low prices.

Only thing I don't like about jailbroken is when your connector port to charge and sync your iPhone stops working and the "genius" bar won't help you.

That happened on my last iPhone. I will probably jailbreak sometime soon, just haven't felt the need yet (maybe if I want to use tethering anytime soon)

Get Appulous so you can get free apps. Has most of the apps from App Store.

You don't need to be jailbroken for redlaser I believe.

Its too bad that intelliscreen is a free trial and we have to pay for it. Otherwise, I would've used it every day! But its not worth the $10 or so bucks they charge.

lol. not sure what language this is, but you could still uninstall/hide all jailbreak apps except Cydia, so they wont know

They looked through mine to see what apps I had on it. I think it was part of their proceedure, to see if any known "problem apps" were on there. They saw Cydia.

The language was that of a person that has to stop typing to do some work and starts on a different train of thought when he comes back

All fixed now.

i picked up the TomTom app the other day for free. it works pretty well. Took a little while to actually install but it's well worth it

Sry for being so outdated... but what is jailbreaking the iPhone? removing sim lock? Also, I can't find the apps above on iTunes... i suppose that there are some other way to get apps then?

Jailbreaking the iphone is essentially "hacking" the iphone so that you can install 3rd party applications for free as well as customize the layout of the iphone. There's a couple of programs that you can use to do it such as "quickpwn". the one that i used for my 3gs was redsnow. the actual process is pretty easy to do. All of the programs listed above are not in the itunes store. once you jailbreak the phone you get a program called "cydia" intalled on your phone that allows you to download these for free.

Jailbreaking doesn't unlock the phone so that you can use it on another carrier. you have to use another program and process to do that.

Sorry to go OT but I'm curious as to why you do this? I'm currently on the fence. Apparently reception has just recently been upgraded in my area and this was the only deterring factor from getting an Iphone. Now I can't see why I wouldn't buy one but this comment sparks my interest.

I was also considering the BB Tour by Verizon FWIW.
