  • Easily Access Your Settings Homescreen Shortcuts Using This Neat Tweak

    Are you tired of always having to navigate to finding the right setting in your settings.app? with the introduction of a neat feature in iOS 5 which lets you add homescreen shortcuts you can have your favorite shortcuts on the homescreen accompanied by a real well decorated icon. You no longer have to turn your wi-fi on / off with the extra press of a button and you can access a few of the settings.app features right now but considering this is a free tweak I would say that it is very generous.

    I would like to mention that this tweak works on jailbroken and non jailbroken iOS 5 devices, the tweak will not work on iOS 4.3.3 so I had to borrow another iPod Touch on 5.0.1 for this tweak to work.

    Step 1.

    Open Safari and navigate to the following site without the quotation marks

    “brdrck.me/settings/”

    (sometimes you will get a 404 on the site, simply wait a couple of minutes or 5 – 10 minutes at max and it will be resolved.)

    You will see the following screen below once the site is open.

    Step 2.

    Choose the icon you wish to add to your homescreen and then tap on the bottom center icon of Safari and choose “Add to Homescreen” and it will automatically take you back to the homescreen without any further delay.

    Now whatever setting you tap on will be opened straight away without having to navigate through your settings.app page.

    Credits and huge props go out to Jeff Broderick who is the creator of the webpage and the magnificent icons used in this tweak, I give him a hearty salute for making my wi-fi on and off one button less (yes I am very lazy).

    I would like to add that this tweak was tested on an unjailbreaked iOS 5.0.1 iPod Touch 4G and it worked perfectly. As I said earlier the tweak is so simple a child can do it and unlike other tweaks posted here Jailbreak is not a must and iOS 5 is mandatory for the use of this tweak.

    Post in the comments below on how helpful you found this tweak and whether you would like to see more like it in the future.

  • How To: Exit All Apps on iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad

    With iOS4 Apple introduced its revolutionary new take at multitasking. The multitasking on the iPhone 4 is a pleasure to use but the problem is that over time a lot of apps become clustered up in the background. The only way to close them was to select each single app and exit it from the multitasking menu. However, as it turns out there is a MUCH easier way to close all of the back ground apps with one single click.

    The following is a guide on how to exit all apps on an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch or an iPad.

    Step One

    Open up Cydia from the springboard

    Step Two

    Navigate to the search tab and search for Remove Background.

    Step Three

    Tap on the Remove Background package and install it.

    Step Four

    Remove Backgound will now appear on your springboard.

    Step Five

    Now, there are two possible ways to use Remove Background to exit all apps on the iPhone.

    Activator

    1. Launch the RemoveBG app and go to the activator menu.

    2.  Select the activation method from the many available to activate RemoveBG and exit all your background apps. For this example I’m going to use the volume keys.

    SBsettings

    This method is more convenient and recommended by us.

    1. Add the Repo http://repo.hackyouriphone.org to Cydia.

    2. Install the package Remove Background SBsettings.

    3. Now you can simply swipe on the status bar, and all your toggles will accessible from anywhere on the phone. To exit all apps you simply have to press the RemoveBG button and all the open apps will be exited.

  • How To: Jailbreak iPhone 3GS And iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3.3 Using Redsn0w (Windows)

    The following are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS or 4 on iOS4.3.3 with Redsn0w on Windows.

    The complete guide after the break.

    Before updating your phone to 4.3.3, you need to keep in mind that an unlock is not yet available for the baseband on 4.3.3. To unlock a phone on 4.3.3 you will either have to update using a custom firmware which doesn’t update your baseband or you will have to update to the 06.15 iPad baseband if on the 3GS. While 06.15 may render the phone unlockable, updating to it comes with its fair share of problems such as:

    1. There is no way to come back down from 06.15, and there’s no hiding the baseband version from Apple. You’ll be voiding your warranty in a very obvious way.
    2. If some future baseband comes out with a critical fix, you won’t be able to update to it if it remains down in the 05.xx sequence (then again, you wouldn’t update to it if you wanted to keep your unlock anyway).
    3. Starting with FW 4.2.1 if you have 06.15 on your iPhone you won’t ever be able to restore to stock firmware (it will fail). You’ll need to only restore to custom IPSWs (then again, if you’re an unlocker you should already be doing that).
    4. There are reports that 06.15 may disable your GPS. The iPhone Dev-Team is currently working on a fix.

    Tools You’ll Need:

    iPhone 3GS 4.3.3 Official IPSW. Click Here.

    iPhone 4 4.3.3 Official IPSW, Click Here.

    Redsn0w 0.9.6rc16. Click Here.

     

    Step One

    Download the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 official IPSW (Depending on your phone). Download and extract Redsn0w. For convenience, place all of them in a folder on the desktop, like so:

     

    Step Two

    Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes. When the phone shows up in iTunes select it from the list of devices on the left.  Now hold down Shift and press the restore button. You can also choose to update but restore is recommended; it’s always better to get a fresh start.

     

     

    Step Three

    As soon as you press Shift+Restore, a window will pop up asking you to select the IPSW file to be used. Point it towards the Official 4.3.3 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.

     

    Step Four

    Once iTunes has successfully flashed your phone to the desired firmware, navigate to the Jailbreak folder on the desktop and launch Redsn0w.exe.

    **Windows 7 users may need to run RedSn0w in Vista compatibility mode. You can do this by right clicking the executable and selecting Properties from the contextual menu

    Once redsn0w opens, click the browse button.

     

    Step Five

    A windows will pop up asking you to select the Official IPSW file for your desired firmware. Point it towards the Official 4.3.3 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.

     

     

    You will then be asked (if using a 3GS) if your device is a newer “fixed” model. If your’s is, then press the Yes button, click the No button otherwise. If you aren’t sure then simply press the Yes button.

     

     

    Step Six

    Once the firmware has been successfully identified click Next. Redsn0w will then prepare the jailbreak data.

     

     

    After the data has been prepared you will be shown a menu where you can select different jailbreak options. You may select specific options depending on your needs, but for now we will only select “Install Cydia”. Select that option and then hit next to continue.

     

    Step Seven

    Connect the iPhone to the PC and then proceed to switch it off. Once the phone is fully turned off click Next. Remember to hold the phone in your hand before you press next  as you will have to press various buttons on the phone to make it  enter DFU mode.

     

    Step Eight

    After pressing next, instructions to enter DFU mode will appear. To enter DFU mode, hold the power button for 3 seconds, then without letting go of the power button press the home button and power button together for 10 seconds after which let go of the power button and continue to hold the home button until your PC detects the phone. It may take several tries to get into DFU mode.

     

    Once the phone has entered DFU mode, the process will begin. The phone will reboot.

     

    When it’s completed it will show you this message. The phone will then reboot and the rest of the process will continue on your device.

     

     

    When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard. Your device will now be Jailbroken on 4.3.3.

  • iPhone Dev-Team Releases iOS 5.0b1 Jailbreak for Developers

    The iPhone Dev-team has released a new version of Redsnow – 0.9.8b1 – that developers can use to jailbreak iOS 5b1. This utilizes the limera1n bootrom exploit by geohot, which Apple can patch only by releasing new hardware.

    The following devices are supported:
    ● iPod touch 3G
    ● iPod touch 4G
    ● iPad 1
    ● iPhone3GS
    ● iPhone4 (GSM)
    ● iPhone4 (CDMA)


    UNLOCKERS AND THOSE PRESERVING THEIR UNLOCKABLE BASEBANDS SHOULD STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS! You will very likely lose your unlockable baseband if you try to install iOS 5.

    THIS JAILBREAK IS INTENDED ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS OF JAILBROKEN APPS! There are just too many broken components (Apple’s official apps, 3rd-party App Store apps, Cydia apps, MobileSubstrate apps, etc) for this to be useful to anyone but those truly looking to fix bugs in their iOS 5 jailbroken apps. (Seriously!)

    THIS REDSN0W WILL NOT HACTIVATE 5.0b1! You need to be an iOS developer with a registered UDID to get past all the new activation screens. PLEASE DON’T PIRATE APPLE SOFTWARE! Only registered devs with Macs can develop iOS applications, and only those people will have legitimate access to the beta IPSWs.

    THIS IS A TETHERED JAILBREAK ONLY! No new exploits are being exposed with this jailbreak (it uses geohot’s limera1n bootrom exploit), but that comes at a cost. You will need to use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered now” to be able to use many things, including Cydia and Safari. If you see a white icon for Cydia, or if Cydia or Safari crash when you open them, it’s because you didn’t boot tethered.

    IF YOU HAVE THE 06.15 BASEBAND ON YOUR 3GS…this redsn0w will get you past the iTunes restore error you’ll get when using the stock IPSW (nobody other than those with the 06.15 baseband should be going anywhere near the stock IPSW!).

    The iPhone Dev-Team notes that this version of RedSn0w will likely work to jailbreak future iOS 5 betas by pointing to the 5.0b1 ipsw.

    You can download redsn0w_mac_0.9.8b1 here.
