iPhone Link Page
This page is where I centralise my links to iPhone-related websites. I’ve noticed that my Q-tips webpage is still hugely popular with the Windows Mobile 5 crowd, so I’ll do the same thing for the iPhone.
Although I think there will be less people coming looking for a solution - the iPhone is just easier to use !!!
Although there are some tricks that newcomers don’t seem to use enough. For some reason, most people don’t read the small manual, so they miss out on some great stuff, like realising that the small square on your earbud cords is actually a microphone, and that you can click it to accept calls.
Caveat : Your mileage may vary, your iphone may explode visiting these sites or using this tips and tricks.
I take NO responsibility whatsoever for your iphone and what you inflict on it.
Forum Sites
- modmyifone : the iPhone Forum site
- iphone.club.nl (DUTCH language) : hebben een geweldig forum voor belgen en nederlanders
Software sites
- ziphone : up until at least 1.1.4 firmware, a quick and easy way (5 minutes!) to jailbreak/activate/unlock your iPhone.
- independence : another unlocker/jailbreaker, which also lets you install ringtones
- Cydia : another installer, that can be installed via installer.app, and which is growing in popularity. This one has some specific network tools like tcpdump and nmap which make network engineers go oooooher !
Sources I use
- i.unlock.no : Unlock tools for your iPhone
- jiggyapp.com/i : start developing with jiggy in javascript, while getting the same functionality as the Cocoa coders !!
- Scummvm : Cydia source modmyifone includes this already, else via installer.app
Tips
Howto move your applications from your small root partition : this lets you install a lot more stuff. Alternatively, if you decide to install Cydia, it’ll do it for you !
- cp -r /Applications /private/var/mobile
- mv /Applications /Applications.old
- ln -s /private/var/mobile/Applications /Applications
Howto change music (when using your earbuds) without touching your iPhone :
- To change music : click 2 times on your microphone
- (If your iphone is still on) Click 3 times to start playing : no shuffle though !
