Cracked AppStore Apps for iPhone FW 2.1

I upgraded my iPhone firmware to 2.1 and I have to say that this is the best firmware I have seen at the moment. There is a lot less crashes and I installed the fw and jailbroke it only once where as the previous fw gave me trouble after jailbreaking and had to do it a few times. the best part is the new cracked app store gives us the ability to use the Apple app store apps on a jailbroken iPhone. These apps are actually saved as .ipa and not .app. I was a bit confused at the start but it seem this is a way more easier way to get apps. It seems that rather than using cydia or Installer 4 and there is lot less issues on the iphone too. Although you intially have to use Cydia and add a couple of patches the process is quite simple. There is a patch on Cydia called ipa you install that first. Oh I forgot there is a little catch. You need to get one free app from the original app store before you can add cracked apps. This is not a issue as there are plenty of free apps on the app store. Once you have the free app the itunes will have a new section on the left called applications. All you have to do is download the apps from the website below and drag and drop the .ipa files to the applications section on itunes and then sync the iphone and you are done. It's lot easier than going through cydia to find one by one which applications you need. All you have to do is go to the apps store browse and see which apps you want and go to http://appulo.us/appdb/ and search and download them. Like I said its a lot easier than Installer or Cydia

Free Apps for iPhone 1.1.4

As you know not all apps on iPhone's installer is free. Some utilities such as Kate or games like amaze are trails or you need to pay a price to get the full app. I ran in to a really nice site called www.xsellize.com . Its pretty good, it's free and all you have to do is register there and you can access all the apps they have cracked. Once you register go to installer and then add a new repo as follows :

http://xsellize.com/installer/user-pass
i.e if your user name is test
and password is 1234
you add
http://xsellize.com/installer/test-1234

hope this helps and comment with any questions.

Customize 2.0RC1 Compatability with FW1.1.4

I thought I would write this post because I was a iphone 2g owner who just couldn't get customize to get running. I seems to crash however way I installed it whatever patch I installed. So I thought I should get this information out to other people who have this problem. First off if you have CYDIA installer installed this might not work. Well I didn't work for me. This would be easier if you are restoring your phone because then the file system is all fresh. What you need to do is go to www.iappcat.com and register. This is the easiest way to do it rather than adding different repo's to the installer and slow it down. Then once you have registered you can make your own repo's. Here's a video on how to register http://tinyurl.com/67qsbc. and add your own repo on iappcat. So what you need to search for in iappcat is SUID Lib Fix 1.5 this is the file you require. Install this and then get customize 2.0RC1 off iapp cat itself and install that. Once this is done installer should run with no problems. Remember I couldn't get this to work when CYDIA was installed so make sure that is not installed and if you were like me just restore the phone first believe me it is worthwhile doing that.

iPhone 2.0 Hickups

I just found out the the iPhone 3G is not so perfect. The keyboard has a lag and the battery life is suppose to be so crap. Overnight the battery seems to be draining 50%-70% if uncharged. This is ridiculous. I've heard of rumors that even the 1st Gen iphones which updated the firmware to 2.0 has this problem. It might be a software issues so all you 1st Gen iphone owners hold up for awhile befre you update so that these issues might be resolved by apple.

GoldLanternG-Lite Premiere GLP-1000 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones


I recently went to FRY's and purchased a pair of bluetooth headphones. I was on a budget so I was looking to buy a cheap but relatively good pair. It was disappointing at because all the one's which were there cost over US$90 that price was too steap for my liking. But mind you and of this have a 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter. Anycase I kept looking around and at a back shelf someone had just left a pair of bluetooth headphones and it was these GoldLantern G-Lite Premiere GLP-1000 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones. This did not come with a 3.5mm bluetooth reciever but I only wanted the headphone for my laptop and when I looked up on Ebay you can get a reciever for about US$20 so anyway this was a bargain. The Headphones were awsome. I would give it a 7/10 on everything. The only small thing I didn't like was It was those behind the head headphones and I annoyied my ear a bit. But you get use to it. The connectivity is the easiest and I connects in a breeze. You can have it paired with 5 gadgets at once. But it will be working with one at a time. And you have to make sure all the gadgets are disconnected before connecting to a gadget otherwise the headphones gets confused. All in all it was a great pair of headphones.

Emoze Push Email

    Push email free!!! Will this really work? That was my first thought when I googled it and saw it. Yes, there is your good old mail2web and the exchange servers with you email setting and all that. But this actually works. Its unbelievable. I don't know how long this will be free but it is for now. People have posted various blogs saying that this software is junk because of the reason tha you have to leave you pc on and all that. Well that's not true…. You can actually use it with your own cooperate server and as soon as the mail reaches your server it'll come to your WM5 or smartphone. I tested it and the delay was only about 1-2minutes. That's good for a free service. And the best part is you can actually get a gmail account and get the push email service. If people actually tried this a bit more I bet RIM will have quite a bit of trouble as this will be a big competitor. I cannot see a bad side to this accept that the GPRS or HSDPA will always be on but that does not mean you waste data as it only downloads when the server tell the program to do so. I read so many reviews but everyone had given the idea that their PC's need to be on 24/7. Well I'm here to say that its not true. At the moment I have my cooperate account as well as my gmail account set up. For the cooperate side you need to let your off IT guys know that you need this set up. That's it for my review of EMOZE PUSH EMAIL……
