So after jailbreaking one thing you’ll want to do is add sources. What’s a source? Well a source is essentially a web host (URL) which can be added to cydia to get additional software packages, themes, wallpapers, apps, games and more. Open cydia and you come to the screen seen here on the left with five tabs on the bottom (Cydia, Sections, Changes, Manage and Search). Cydia Store Products are the paid for apps. These are very nice and include things like 3G Unrestrictor, $2.99, which is a must if you like to stream video. Continue Reading…

Appulo.us the website that allows jailbroken iPhones and iPods to download almost every app for free is down. Well sort of. You may have noticed recently that its been much slower and Installous (the related app that lets you install the cracked up directly to your iDevice without syncying) has been horrible. Well, I thought it was due to firmware 3.1.2. However, the problem is actually that the website is just too popular. The message seen here on the left states that 3 million people visit appulo.us on a daily basis. WOW! Anyway, they are adding additional servers to handle the traffic, but this takes time. So in the meantime they’ve introduced Troll Bridge. Basically you have to answer a question that mainly only the crackers involved with appulo know. This is intentional to keep people out until the site can handle the capacity. It should only be a few days or weeks. In the meantime if you have to have an app either figure out the question or pay for one???????

What’s up! I’m in a good mood today. If you haven’t seen, I got a viral video on my YouTube channel. I have the only video of Tennesse Titan’s owner Bud Adam’s flipping the bird at the Buffalo Bills from yesterday’s game. Tell me where you’ve seen or heard about it. I’ve done two telephone interviews from Buffalo and two TV interviews for the local news tonight in Nashville. Do me a favor and check it out, leave a comment and subscribe to my channel. And anyone not familiar with iPhone4idiots. Welcome, check out the TV shows section as it is very popular.

UPDATE

To say thanks for over 300,000 views I’m giving away $50 and an iDeal Case with $20. Watch short video for details. All you have to do is make a comment on my YouTube channel.

I’ve been getting enough questions about downloading and converting files that I thought I’d expand my how to get movies video with a tutorial here. A video demonstration is at end of post. The first thing you have to do is download the movie, TV show, music album, software app etc. If you download from the Movies or TV show pages on iPhone4idiots.com then you are downloading a single link mp4 file. This is best for idiots because it is ready to drop into iTunes and sync with your iPod, iTouch or iPhone. However, if you download from a link posted in the Forum or another website, odds are you will not be so lucky! So first off, there are really two main sites to download movies and TV shows – Rapidshare and Megaupload. Continue Reading…

OK, all you parents out there. Ever feel guilty that all your kids do is watch TV on your iPhone or iPod? Yeah, me too. That’s why I encourage them to play matching games or animal sound games like Animal Farm. But when that runs out where do you turn. Well, for I’d say 2 to 5 year olds storybooks are another great option and Stepwork’s The Boy Who Cried Wolf, $0.99, is very impressive. Continue Reading…

Battery Magic Pro, $1.99, is a cool little app that helps you understand how much battery life you have left. It lists how much longer you can expect your battery to last on nine different fronts. From the longest lasting, standby, to the quickest battery drain, 3D Game Play. This lets you know how much longer you have before your battery dies. So for those you curious as to what drains more battery – wifi, 3G or talk time . . . . . Continue Reading…

In case you haven’t read it, some Dutch teenager hacked a bunch of iPhones and asked for five euros to fix them. You can read about it here.The main point is if you’ve jailbroken your iPhone you really should change the password. It’s very easy. I’ve got two easy ways to do it and a video that shows how.

So Apple has approved 100,000 apps. Geez, that’s a lot of crap! Thank God there are maybe a few hundred that are good. I try to find those for ya and I think I have one in Glu’s Super KO Boxing 2, $4.99. If you were a fan of the classic Mike Tyson’s punchout on Nintendo, I think you’ll love this game. The characters are well done and over the top, the sound is awesome and even the text in between rounds is quite funny. Continue Reading…
