Favourite Jailbroken Applications

noticed any slowdown draeger ?
i noticed right away, the lock screen took slightly longer to unlock with a bit of lagg too
im talking tiny, but very noticable

what are the chances of the apple update server being down ?
just trying to restore and its telling me update server cannot be contacted or is unavailable

Not noticed any slowdown since I got rid of Winterboard which was slowing things down I reckon. Phone is as snappy as it was before JB'ing it as far as I can see. :)
 
Using proswitcher right now instead of Circuitous. Its in alpha but it seems great. Was having a few problems with Circuitous, proswitcher is nicer as you can see what is on the screen though you should know anyway.

http://rpetri.ch/reposetup/ thats the source for cydia. Works on iPad and presumably iPhone as well

I changed my SMS tomes using SSH. Sound located : /System/Library/Audio/UISounds

Changing SMS tone names:

  1. SSH into phone and navigate to root/private/var/stash/Applications/Preferences.app/English.lproj
  2. Copy the file "Sounds.strings" to your desktop
  3. Using this URL (http://iappcat.com/plist/bin2xml) convert the Strings file to XML and open with your favorite XML reader (I used wordpad on windows)
  4. You should see several strings with the names of the default iPhone SMS tones (Tri-Tone, Chime, Glass, etc.). These correspond to the sound files as follows:
    Sms-received1.caf = Tri-Tone (Note that this name is further down under "Default" in the strings file)
    sms-received2.caf = Chime
    sms-received3.caf = Glass
    sms-received4.caf = Horn
    sms-received5.caf = Bell
    sms-received6.caf = Electronic
  5. Change the name for whichever file you replaced with your custom sound
  6. After backing up your original "Sounds.strings" file, rename your edited version "Sounds.strings" (CASE SENSITIVE) and copy back to phone.
  7. Respring and Enjoy.

Nice write up there m8. Where do you actually put the sound that you want to use as the SMS tone though?. :confused:

iTunes does a good job of getting it back to how it was. I jailbroke my iPhone 4 last night and them undid it without any issue. The only thing you have to do manually is arrange all your app's again.

As my in my previous post ;)
/System/Library/Audio/UISounds

You need to replace the current files :

Sms-received1.caf
sms-received2.caf
sms-received3.caf
sms-received4.caf
sms-received5.caf
sms-received6.caf

use iTunes to convert Mp3's :
1) Rename .m4r to .m4a
2) convert .m4a to .aiff
3) Rename .aiff to .caf
 
Tempted to give teh SMS change ago tongiht...what was teh SSH sofware to get into the iPhone folders tho...is their anything I need to set that up?
 
I'm working on an app for jailbroken devices (iphone 4 only), will submit to cydia when it is finished.
It replaces any low resolution (57x57px) app icons with high resolution ones (114x114) for the iphone 4's retina display by generating them from the app's embedded itunes artwork. No need for winterboard or any other addons, and because it runs 'on-demand' like a normal app it does not run in the background or use any resources at all.
Here is a before/after example:

Before:

After:
afterc.jpg


Example of how my phone looks after running the app. Notice every icon is high resolution:
