iOS 5.0.1 up and running

Good News for all iOS 5.0.1 has been jailbroken successfully and that too untethered.....
In this guide i will show you exactly how to do this.


Lets initiate the process.....


REQUIREMENTS

1. iOS 5.0.1 ipsw file (google it and you'll find many there).
2. Redsnow 0.9.10 b3 (b3 is very important b1 and b2 conatain lots of bugs again google will help).
3. Requires iTunes 10.5 or later.
4. iDevice (iPhone above 3G would be required because of speed 3G will hang a lot)

So we are done with the requirements so now this will be it. Here are the Steps......

1. First of all put your iDevice in DFU mode. You can do it in redsnow itself.
• Start rednsow -> Click Extras -> Pwned DFU mode -> Follow the instructions on the screen
• For users who want to know about PWNED DFU mode- it is a deep DFU mode where the device accepts the iPhone for update without checking for many things like custom firmware. For more information just mail me at charanjit@borntohack.in
  
2. After getting into DFU mode screen must be black without anything on it. Then Start iTunes and hit shift+restore (for Windows users) or alt+restore (for Mac Users) and then browse to the ipsw file that you download of iOS 5.0.1
   
3. After all the things done your iPhone must come to life with the iPhone setup on the screen. You can do it but i recommend to jailbreak it first.
   
4. To jailbreak the device open redsnow 0.9.10 b3 again.
• goto extras->select ipsw -> browse to the download iOS 5.0.1 ipsw-> hit back.
• Now you should be on the screen where you selected Extras but this time select jailbreak.
• Follow the instructions on the screen when you hit next on redsnow
  
5. Now you have a jailbroken device in your hand.......  You can try Appsync 5.0+ if you want to install cracked apps just add the repository http://cydia.hackulo.us....
   While running cydia keep one thing in mind donot let the the screen get locked as update stops. For more information read step 6.
   
   
   (iPod, iPad and iPhone(who have official carrier) people stop here )
   
   
6. Now for those who want to unlock their iPhone for unofficial carriers just go to cydia and wait for the updating to finish ( you can see cydia updating on the top when the black bar is there and update is running. Here donot let the the screen get locked as update stops). Now install ultrasnow 1.2.5. it only supports a few basebands read my previous posts.
   
   
   Now you are done with the device go on have fun!!!!!!
   If any problem occurs the mail me at charanjit@borntohack.in OR just comment here......

Siri hacked to work on iPhone 3GS

Credit: Cult of Mac

We recently told you about the hidden panorama mode in the iOS 5 Camera app that could be enabled by editing a .plist file. Since then, a jailbreak tweak called “Firebreak” has been released that automatically enables the feature on any jailbroken iOS 5 device.

Panorama mode in the iOS Camera actually works, and you can get it on your own device right now without jailbreaking.

A simple hack has surfaced that enables the hidden panorama mode on the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPod touch, and iPad 2 running iOS 5. To enable the feature, you’ll need to perform a modified backup of your iOS device in iTunes. You will also need to restore from a new backup, so keep that in mind before continuing.

Install iOS 5 on iPhone

iOS 5 comes up with the whole new baseband version so upgrading via iTunes would not be a good idea for people who rely on unlocking of the device via ultrasnow (means using the not supported carriers as well). Presently only tethered jailbreak of all the devices on iOS 5 is available (menas you have to connect your device with the PC and boot with ibooty it will only then boot). So if you are ready to do this continue reading otherwise you can read it for knowledge of the same.

Ok so letz get started. So firstly you will need some softwares:-

1. iOS 5 ipsw file get it from here.
2. snowbreeze for iOS 5 get it from here.
3. redsnow for iOS 5 get it from here. for Windows and for mac.

first of all start snowbreeze and then put the ipsw file of iOS 5 into snowbreeze (by drag and drop or by locating the file) then build the ipsw. Snowbreeze will save your modified file on the desktop.
Now open iTunes and then keep pressing shift on the keyboard and then press restore button in iTunes and locate the file which is saved on desktop (snowbreeze modified). Software will install and then run redsnow. Now jailbreak as per instruction on redsnow and there it is ready to go ....

You can now use iCloud: Its free

Apple devices can be addictive: People buy one tiny iPod, fall in love, and end up with three or four other Apple products. Now if only they could see all their data on all those devices simultaneously.

Starting today, they can.


Thanks to iCloud, the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch all have the same document with no work on the user’s part.

ICloud is designed to store and replicate documents, music, apps and 1,000 photos on PCs, the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. It also syncs contacts, calendars and email so all your machines and devices have the same data and content. It will back up five gigabytes of data, but certain types aren’t counted against that total. The best part: It’s free.

I’ve been testing iCloud’s sync ability between a MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S and iPad 3G. I also accessed and added content using iCloud.com. At first, I ran into a few hiccups with syncing photos, but an Apple spokesman explained that the company’s servers were occasionally down while they were being prepared for Wednesday’s iCloud launch. After that, iCloud worked without a hitch—well enough that I stopped thinking about which device held what since they were all updated with the same content.

On the downside, iCloud doesn’t automatically sync videos to other devices. In WiFi, it won’t sync edited photos if edits are made on a device after its camera app is closed. (This includes removing red eye, cropping and auto-enhancing images.) And document sharing on iCloud is focused on sharing with oneself, not with other people, unlike the document-sharing solutions from Google and Microsoft.

I found iCloud’s most useful feature to be Photo Stream, which automatically sends images captured by an iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch up to iCloud and replicates them on all other iCloud devices, one by one. Watching these photos pop onto the screen of my computer, iPad or iPhone was nothing short of delightful.

Photos are pushed via iCloud to the Mac and PC in their full resolution and sent to the iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone in a resolution that’s optimized for those displays.


Photo Stream sends images captured by mobile devices, such as the iPhone and iPad, up to iCloud and replicates them on all other iCloud devices,

By default, any images imported to a PC or Mac are automatically sent into Photo Stream, though this setting can be turned off. Devices need only be powered on and in WiFi to receive images from Photo Stream.

Each photo remains in Photo Stream for

EyeEm: Another Fun & Useful iPhone Camera App

You may have heard that Apple’s iPhone 4 is the most popular camera used by members of the international photo sharing site Flickr.com. Even I can attest that my three year-old compact Canon Power Shot G9 rarely sees the light of day, while my less expensive iPhone camera is used on a weekly basis.

Much of the iPhone camera’s popularity is due to its portability, but its appeal also stems from several of the hundreds of third-party iPhone camera apps that enable users to not only take photos, but to also process and share them from within the phone itself.
If you’re an avid iPhone camera user, you no doubt have heard of or use the popular Instagram app which seems to have a cult following. With over 150 million downloads of that app, it’s not surprising to see similar iPhone camera apps come onto the market.

Thus a new camera app called EyeEm may very well attract its own users and followers. EyeEm’s features and capabilities are similar to Instagram’s, but it has a few unique approaches. Let’s check them out.

Taking Photos

Like most iPhone apps, EyeEm is ready for use right out of the box. The opening screen asks you to set up a photo sharing account, either using your Facebook account or EyeEm’s own set up. The simple, well-designed interface presents you  with a nice size camera and “My Vibes” icons, on which you tap to get started.

EyeEm provides a slightly different approach however for taking pictures. Before you snap a photo you can select one of ten retro, lo-fi photo filters (Normal, “Magix”, “Wintage” B&W, Strawberry, etc) which are popular with many of the artsy iPhone camera apps.

Though your selected filter is applied after you click the shutter, you can replace it with another filter before the photo is saved. This approach saves you a tap or two, and it also provides you a preview of what your photo will look like before it is taken. You can also just shoot in normal mode and change to another filter after a shot is taken.

These type of artistic photo filters are becoming a little clichéd amongst iPhone camera apps, but they certainly save you the trouble of applying similar effects in Photoshop.

Unlike some camera apps, EyeEm also includes a built-in “flash” to brighten photos, and a front-facing camera option. However, there is no zoom slider or self-timer for setting the shutter release.

Saving and Tagging Photos

After photos are taken in EyeEm, they are saved to the camera roll on your iPhone, at which time you’re provided with the app’s tagging, photo management, and photo sharing features.

EyeEm uses the geo-location component of your iPhone to tag where a photo is taken, e.g. at home, at an outdoor location, or say at an event. Of course EyeEm can’t read the content of your photo, but it does provide an easy-to-use tagging process useful for managing and sharing your pictures. You can apply one or more tags to a photo as well as customize and add your own.

In terms of location tags, EyeEm also presents you with a list of places—such as street names, schools, and popular businesses—near and around the location where you take a photo. If an appropriate tag does not pop up, you tap on the “Check in” button a few times to see more tagging options. All this is to save you the trouble of having to manually type tags yourself. Depending upon how particular you are about tagging, you may or may not like this approach.

Sharing Photos

Similar to other camera apps, EyeEm provides options for sharing your photos on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Foursquare, and Tumblr. You can also share your photos privately with selected friends.

Also, as you probably expect, EyeEm includes photo sharing streams in which you can view photos uploaded by other users. Selected images can be tagged as favorites and shared via e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter.

There is also an “Edit Photo” option, but the title is misleading, for it only allows you to delete selected photos from your EyeEm account.

All in all, EyeEm is a well-designed and fairly straightforward iPhone camera app to use. It is not much different from Instagram, but it may well develop a huge number of followers, particularly since it is a free download from the App Store.

Let us know what you think of EyeEm. Will it be added to your folder of existing camera apps on your iPhone?

Windows 7 on iPhone !!!

Appsync 4+ doesnot work with iOS 4.2.1 and further(Solution here)

Here is an alternative method which works for sure ...

Step 1: download the appsync .deb file from here. from ur idevice.

Widget System possible through Notification Center in iOS 5

Though Apple did not announce any official APIs to developers for developing widgets but they did leave some clues to them. Apple released 2 widgets namely – Weather and Stock Ticker with the notification center and this is enough to ignite developer’s mind. Following this trail iOS developer @WillFour20 proved it possible to create widgets for notification center, opening an era of custom widgets for jailbreakers down the line.

It’s easy, by including a class that implements BBWeeAppController protocol any application can be accessed just by tapping it. This works not only with the stock iOS apps but also with the AppStore apps.
For instance – Phone App that has a list of favorite contacts can be displayed in iOS notification center. Won’t it be really easy to just tap and call a favorite contact directly from notification center instead of diving into Phone app and then proceeding for the call? A few developers have already started to work on this new avenue and some of then even claims that SBSettings can be integrated with notification center viz. Wi-fi, bluetooth, brightness, data, location etc. toggles can be integrated directly into notification center.. doesn’t that sound great?

I am looking forward to these awesome bunch of small codes to be integrated into Notification Center, are you too looking forward to it? Share your love and ideas about widgets in the comments.

How To Disable the Ping Service On an iPhone or iPod Touch to Save Battery Life

There has been some talk that since Apple released the iOS update 4.3 that battery life is worse than before. One way to help remedy this problem is to disable Apple’s Ping service. Since you probably don’t use it anyway, here we’ll show you how to turn it off.


You know Ping, the social network for music that Apple introduced in iTunes 10. Or maybe you have completely forgotten about it. Either way, it’s doubtful you even use it.

Disable Ping

1. Launch Settings on your iPhone or iPod Touch by tapping on it.

2. Then tap on General.

3. Next tap on Restrictions.

5. If this is the first time you’ve been in Restrictions, you’ll need to enter in an Passcode twice. Or if you already have an Passcode just type that in.

6. You’ll see that everything listed under Allow is set to ON by default and they’re grayed out. Tap on Enable Restrictions.

7. Scroll down to Ping and turn it off. On this iPod Touch we also turned off FaceTime because it’s never used it anyway.

8. Go back to the Home Screen and you’ll notice that the Ping button is no longer listed on the bottom.

If you’re experiencing issues with your battery draining on your device more quickly since updating to iOS 4.3 – this trick should help you out. There is a new iOS update 4.3.1 that was released last week and is said to address the issue. But there is no mention of it addressing the battery problem on the Apple Update site.
Have you experienced battery issues since upgrading to iOS 4.3? Does turning off the Ping feature seem to work for you? Leave a comment below and let us know!

Set up iOS 4.3 home sharing in iPhone, iPod or iPad

Now that Apple released iOS 4.3 update for download you can set up the most awaited home sharing feature in your  iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Home sharing option will let you stream music movies, pictures and other media files in a wireless private network. That means you can share an iTunes library  from a PC or Mac to compatible iPhone, iPod or iPad. Follow these steps to set up home sharing in iOS 4.3 devices.

First download iOS 4.3 and install it using iTunes 10.2

After successful instillation and restore, open your device settings and turn on WiFi connectivity.
You will see the home sharing button just beneath the device icon on the left plane of  iTunes software. If not, you can access it from Advanced tab at the top section.

Enter your Apple ID and password in the home sharing Window and click on the button create Home Share.
Now we can set up Home Sharing in iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

Find the settings for the iPod music player in your idevice. As shown above, enter your Apple ID and password in Home Sharing option. That’s it – you have set up your idevice to stream your iTunes library wirelessly over WiFi. Just go to iPod app> More> Shared> click on a listed Library. Now you will be able to play songs and videos from that desktop iTunes library using iPod Music player.
