Theme It – All Your Themes in One Place [Jailbreak]

Soon a new jailbreak tweak called Theme it will be released in Cydia. This tweak would put your themes in one place instead of Winterboard and as the official site reports, it will be available for all jailbreak users soon as a Cydia package.

What makes Theme It unique, it allows you to separate all these available themes out into their own dedicated “platform”. It will be similar to Cydia store but will feature themes only.

Check out the embedded video below and what the developers say:

A carefully designed platform (application and website) allowing focus on high-quality themes and also the artists behind the themes in a way that wasn’t possible before… it’s the Theme Store you’ve been dreaming of using.

With some of the best theme creators already on-board we can guarantee you’ll have access to amazing and exclusive content in an environment that’s sure to meet everyone’s needs. Focusing on high-quality, complete themes, the goal of Theme it isn’t to have a million themes in the gallery… but the best ones available.

The platform includes a very user-friendly website and an iPhone/iTouch application to showcase and distribute the themes with instant access to the information you really want, such as screenshots, details, compatibility and much more. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn a little more about the artists that create the themes you love and use. A section will be dedicated to these wonderful designers.

Stay tuned for the release soon! (iClarified)

Redsn0w Untethered iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak Without 4.2b3 SHSH Imminent

Few minutes ago, MuscleNerd has just announced a significant progress occurred to the new Monte technique, as the dev-team succeeded to port Monte back to iOS 4.1 Kernel (SHSH blobs).

 

Ported Monte back to 4.1 kernel (SHSH blobs). Next step: porting it forward to 4.3beta!

Think of Monte as a "green" jailbreak. It recycles (for example) 4.1's exact JB exploit on 4.2.1 :) Waste no exploits.

What that means? Dev-team has added a new feature (Monte) to Redsn0w which allows you to untethered jailbreak without the need of iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs, you will need iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs. Monte is not an exploit, it's a technique based on using the iOS 4.1 exploit into iOS 4.2.1, so releasing it now before the official release for iOS 4.3 won't waste any exploits.So the dev-team may release it soon.

On the other side Chronic dev-team is working hard now to release Greenpois0n RC5 to untethered iOS 4.2.1, see the full details posted here.

iOS 4.2.1 Untethered Jailbreak by Chronic-Dev Team [Video]

Some good news, few moment ago Chronic Dev Team - the team behind Greenpois0n - has just showed us a good progress on untethering jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 4, which means that we are very close to get the new Greenpois0n RC5 to have an untethered jailbreak for all iOS devices.

Till now, no one of the Chronic dev-team members has announce any ETA for Greenpois0n RC5, but all I have to say now, thanks Chronic dev-team for the hard work. As usual I will update you once more information comes-in.

UPDATE: Pod2g, the hacker behind the exploit used on Greenpois0n has just announced that the Chronic dev-team has just one small bug to release Greenpois0n untethered jailbreak for all iOS devices, precisely, the wifi icon doesn't show up after jailbreak with Greenpois0n.

A small bug remains, the wifi icon don't show up. But it's there. As you see, we need some more time to fix and pack everything.

Update to iOS 4.3 on your iOS Device Without Developer Account [How to]

iOS 4.3 beta 1 has been released couple of days ago with new features for both iPad and iPhone and we showed a great walkthrough inside it. Today, we've received a tip from one of our readers about a successful method to update your device to iOS 4.3 without a developer account.

Quick Guide on how to "hacktivate" iOS 4.3 without a developer account.

1st Method
1) Install iOS 4.3
2) "Jailbreak" with redsn0w 0.9.6rc8, you should see a white block in de upper left corner from your iPhone, reboot it
3) get iFunBox
4) navigate to "Raw File System" -> /System/Library/CoreServices
5) open SystemVersion.plist and remove the following lines:
ReleaseType
Beta
6) Reboot the iPhone
7) Activate your iPhone with iTunes

2nd Method (thx to joshingknight)
1) Restore to 4.2.1
2) Shift-Update and point the 4.3 IPSW. here’s important that you Shift-Update, not Shift-Restore!
If you want File System Access just jailbreak it like you were on 4.2.1 and reboot your iDevice when it’s stuck on a black screen, then you have FS Access with tools like iFunBox, but Cydia won’t work
Congrats your iPhone is activated now =)

Greetings from Switzerland..

Introducing the XPERIA Arc, take a look here

Sony Ericsson is back at it and they are pushing pedal to the metal with their latest unusually curved and unusually streamlined sports car – the XPERIA Arc. Once one of the top three phone manufacturers, Sony Ericsson has been through some hard times but the company underwent a painful restructuring and it found a way to make its handsets desirable again by focusing on the high-end segment and staking on Android OS.

The XPERIA X10 did a lot to repair the company public image and it’s now up to the Arc to improve it even further.

In theory it should be easier now – we already know Sony Ericsson is capable of producing top-notch hardware. Even if they aren’t doing spectacularly in terms of pushing updates, their recent smartphones have all been good value for money so the Arc won’t have its origin held against it.

Yet competition on the high-end has never been more intense so a significant performance boost would be required from the Arc even if it was only to retain the same position as the X10 last year. Fortunately it might just manage to deliver, or at least as far as it specs sheet suggests:

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc at a glance:

• General: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 MHz, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, 5.76Mbps HSUPA
• Form factor: Touchscreen bar phone
• Dimensions: 125 x 63 x 8.7-10 mm, 117 g
• Display: 4.2" 16M-color TFT capacitive touchscreen, 854 x 480 pixels
• CPU: Qualcomm MSM8255 1 GHz Snapdragon platform
• OS: Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
• Memory: 287MB storage, 512MB RAM, microSD card slot, 8GB card included in the retail box
• Camera: 8 megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash, face detection and touch focus; 720p video recording at 30fps
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, standard microUSB port, GPS receiver with A-GPS, 3.5mm audio jack, microHDMI port
• Misc: Sony Ericsson Timescape UI, built-in accelerometer, proximity sensor, Sony Mobile Bravia engine, multi-touch input, scratch-resistant surface

How to Install Android 2.2 (Froyo) on your iPhone 3G or 2G

Here a nice trick i know a lot of you will will try to do it ,it's so cool to have 2 Os instead of 1 ,it's like getting a new phone ,and you can do a real comparison  see if your   iPhone can do it all ;
So here is  the installation ofAndroid 2.2 (Froyo) via the Bootlace 2.1 app.

Here’s the video of the installation:

For the installation, you  don’t need to use PC’s or Mac’s to install Android into the iPhone. you  can simply use the available listed tools:

• Jailbroken iPhone
• Bootlace 2.1
• WiFi connection

Here’s the process to install Froyo in the iPhone:

Step A: Install Bootlace 2.1

1. Run Cydia from iPhone’s springboard.
2. Add “http://repo.neonkoala.co.uk/” (without quotes) as repository
3. Tap “Add Source”
4. Install “Bootlace”

Step B: Install OpeniBoot

1. Run Bootlace from Homescreen.
2. Install OpeniBoot

Step C: Install iDroid and run new OS

1. Install iDroid by tapping on the “iDroid” tab in the bottom row.
2. Once finished, tap “QuickBoot” tab in the bottom row.
3. Tap the Android Logo that appears.
4. iPhone should restart and boot into Android.

Once finishing  this you’re running the phone again, you can check for Android updates by repeating step C.

Now people can get crazy ideas here, but demarcating boundary lines between iOS and Android and their respective phones looks plain wrong and can be a waste of time. If you have the time to waste and is utterly bored with iOS on your iPhone, you can do this instead.
