iPhone homebrew: dTunes v2.5 now with Torrent support

Posted on 20 March 2010 by admin

dTunes v2.5 - Image 1

There’s a new version of dTunes out, bringing the homebrew iTunes replacement up to version 2.5. The massive news about this release is the introduction of Torrent support.

The app’s Torrent support feature comes via iTorrentRelay, the only Torrent client for firmware 2.0 and higher iPhones so far. What’s even cooler is that it also converts any media file to a format suitable for the iPhone and iPod Touch upon downloading.

The catch here’s that although dTunes is free, iTorrentRelay isn’t. It’s a subscription service that costs US 9.99 a month. Of course, if you can’t spare the cash, you can still use this version of dTunes without using the Torrent support feature.

As usual, you can download dTunes on Cydia.

Posted on 19 March 2010 by admin

LiveCLIQ - Image 1Here’s another cool app for the Apple iPhone: LiveCLIQ, an app that lets you record videos and then either upload or stream them to the LiveCLIQ website.

To do that, you just need to record a video using LiveCLIQ and then sync it. You can even record a few videos and then sync them all at the same time. Once they’re synced, you can choose to upload or stream them to the LiveCLIQ website at livecliq.net.

The app works with both the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G (as well as a host of other mobile phones). You can download it for free through Cydia, but you’ll have to sign up for an account on the LiveCLIQ website in order to start using it.

genesis4iphone v2.0.0: Sega Genesis and Sega CD emulator for iPhone, iPod Touch

Posted on 14 March 2010 by admin

Sega Genesis - Image 1

Homebrew developer ZodTTD has finally released version 2.0.0 of his long-awaited Sega Genesis and Sega CD emulator, genesis4iphone. This version works with iPhones and iPod Touches running on firmware 2.x.x.

This release comes with the same skin as ZodTTD’s earlier release, mame4iphone,
but the good news here’s that you can actually change the skin yourself by editing the controller_hs1.png/.txt files in the Application directory of the app. Here’s a list of what else is new in v2.0.0:

  • A port of Notaz’s continued support of PicoDrive.
  • New interface/GUI similar to mame4iphone.
  • Sound has been heavily improved! To enable sound, goto Now Playing and turn up the volume slider before entering a game.
  • Save say support is now working.
  • Supports zipped ROMs, and they happen to load much faster than unzipped ROMs…still!
  • Sega CD support is implemented though currently untested by me.

genesis4iphone can be downloaded for free at ZodTTD’s public repository on Cydia.

Posted on 12 March 2010 by admin

MySMS - Image 1iPhone app developer iSoft has released a new version of MySMS, a replacement SMS app kinda like BiteSMS. MySMS now stands at version 0.8.6-1. We don’t have a changelog, though, so let’s look at the features instead. Here’s what MySMS can do:

  • Set main password on app loading
  • Total single / individual SMS or conversation deletion (default client just hide a message, it still be in database. mySMS Secure erase and wipe deleted messages, it can’t be restored)
  • Fast load of program and messages
  • Landscape typing
  • Character counter
  • SMS forwarding (works with chat conversations too)
  • Send contacts through SMS
  • Simple contact list search
  • Use stock message templates or create your own
  • Disable autocorrection
  • Use your own skin

A free but unregistered version of MySMS can be downloaded through Cydia. It’s already full-featured, but the devs state that 20 of messages will send a tiny longer than usual. You can pay US 4.95 to remove the SMS sending delay or go for the full US 24 version that lets you send encrypted SMS messages with 256-AES encryption.

iPhone Backgrounder: run multiple iPhone apps at once

Posted on 11 March 2010 by admin

iPhone Backgrounder - Image 1Here’s a useful new addition to the wealth of iPhone homebrew apps out there. iPhone Backgrounder is a code application that lets you run multiple iPhone apps at once. That means even if you exit, say, Pandora, you’ll still be able to listen to it while you’re running another application.

This is a code app, so there’s no icon for it. To use iPhone Backgrounder, open up the app you want to use and hold down the Home button until you get a pop-up saying “Backgrounding Enabled (Continue holding to force quit). If you want to disable it, just hold down the Home button again.

One thing: Backgrounder will be disabled if you respring your SpringBoard. Also, there’s a chance that an application would immediately quit after you hold down the Home button. According to developer gaizin, this might be caused by Intelliscreen’s App Launch Boost feature, which can be disabled in Intelliscreen’s Performance page.

The catch here’s that running multiple apps, even in background mode, can drain your iPhone’s battery faster than usual. It’ll also make you device run slower. If that doesn’t bother you one bit, check this app out. It’s available on Cydia for free.
