So, I’m sure you all heard about how Apple kicked GV out of the appstore, right? Well, you know the hacking community is always ready to get back at apple and throw their limitations and restrictions back in their face. Of course, GV would be released in the Cydia store….FOR FREE!!! In no means am I taking responsibility for finding this app. It was news to me while browsing around. If you want more info on this app in the cydia store or just want to learn more about google voice, go on over to modmyi and check out the article. Now..if only I could get an invitation (babygurlkc2007@aim.com)..hmm. Anyone?

CAUTION: It is in BETA

Remember the old times of using mxtube to download your favorite youtube videos? Now YourTube has been developed and what’s so much better about this app you may ask? It works with the youtube.app.

Say for instance you’re in the middle of watching a youtube video and you don’t want to close out the app and go re-search for it in another app just to download it so what do you do? You download it right from youtube! With a simple click of the little blue arrow, you are now given an extra option: download.  You can download in high quality(wifi) or low quality(edge).

Unfortunately, with all great things comes a price. But not too much. The developers are charging $2 for YourTube so if you absolutely can’t live without your precious youtube videos being downloaded on your phone, it’s well worth the 2 bucks. As for me, I’ll stick to just waiting when I have a good wifi connection to watch my favorite videos.

If you’re anything like me, you absolutely HATE how slow edge can be when you aren’t in a 3g cover area or near a wifi hotspot. Sometimes, even 3g can be really slow when you’re trying to do something in a hurry, for example, putting in a swagcode with a 2 minute time limit.

Maybe you would just like to use certain apps that are wifi restricted in other areas such as fring,skype, or other VOIP providers. Maybe you want to be able to watch youtube videos in high quality like you do on wifi. Well now you can!

3g unrestrictor allows you to use apps over 3g/edge/GRPS as if you’re on WIFI. It basically “tricks” your iphone into thinking you’re on WIFI and allows you to use these applications with no problem.

The app is available in Cydia for $2 and can be used on any generation iphone (iphone,3g,and 3gs).

So, if you’re tired of being restricted to not being able to use certain apps on 3g, go and check out 3g Unrestricted. Come back and comment and let us know what you guys think!

Have you ever been shopping and wondered if you can find that same product cheaper somewhere else? Luckily for you, you have a jailbroken iphone!

A new cydia app has been released called RedLaser that allows your iphone to read barcodes. After scanning the bar code with your phone’s camera, it then searches amazon and google for a list of stores that carry that product so that you may compare prices.

Don’t worry first generation iphone users. This works for all 3 phones (iphone, 3g, and 3gs!).

The developer for this app has made it really easy. No need to push any buttons to search or scan or anything. Simply hold the camera still  over the middle of the barcode and let it do it’s thing.

How much does this app cost? Well…NOTHING! This app is absolutely free in the cydia store so go and check it out!

Below is some screen shots that I took after testing the app out.  If any of you are wondering why I used A&D ointment, it’s not because I have a diaper rash lol. I recently got a tattoo and it was the closest thing to me with a barcode so no jokes lol.

So, this morning I planned on giving a great detailed article over how to change system strings with pictures and everything but unfortunately, my iphone froze and I’m in the process of completely rebooting.  However, I can still take you through the steps just without pictures. Sorry guys! This is the EASY WAY WITHOUT A COMPUTER!!!!

The system strings are the “Slide to Unlock” , “Slide to Cancel”, “Slide to do whatever else.” With the help of iFile (click to see info) and a Cydia app, you can now change the strings to say whatever you want i.e. “Welcome KC!”

Things you will need:

Cydia, iFile, Slide to Unlock Killer, Winterboard

1. First what you want to do is go into cydia and install iFile.
2. After installing that, add new source (http://cydia.touch-mania.com)
3. Then search for “Slide to Unlock Killer” and install that
4. Next, go back to your homescreen and click on iFile. Go into settings and turn on Hidden Files. Next to the very beginning of the folders and follow this: Var/Stash/Themes/EntriegelKiller
5. Once you’ve done this, choose your language (Most of you will click on “En”) Follow this after EntriegelKiller: Folders/Springboard/En.lproj/Springboard Strings
6. Once the page with text shows up this is where you will change your strings. You can kind of read through them to understand which ones are which. I do remember that the second one about user_lock or something is the “Slide to Unlock”
7. To edit these, click on edit in the top left and put your cursor in between the ” ” to the right of the strings you want to change.
8. After typing your text, delelte any spaces between the ” ” i.e “Welcome KC!       “<<<–you would make it look like “Welcome KC!”
9. After you’ve changed all the strings that you want, click save.
10. Go into winterboard and turn on Entriegel Killer and let it refresh and now your system strings should be changed.

Any questions or comments, leave in the comments section!

Hate missing calls or texts on your iphone because you couldn’t hear the low ring or chime? You need a VOLUME BOOST!

Volume Boost from ModMyi is a great   tweak  for your iphone or ipod touch to improve  the volume quality.  One huge fallback of  the iphone is the low volume from the  external speakers. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has missed text messages and  phone calls because I was unable to hear  the ring or text chime.

Luckily, the developers of Volume Boost  have found a fix for this.  To install Volume  Boost go into cydia and make sure you  have the modmyi source installed  (http://apt.modmyi.com/) and be sure to  have winterboard installed.  Once you’ve  added the ModMyi source, search for  Volume Boost and install it.  After you have  installed volume boost, activate it by going into winterboard and turning it on. After the respring, volume boost will now be activated and you’re on your way to hearing better volume quality!

6. After you have downloaded that, click browse. Click on the desktop and click the firmware that you just downloaded. It should reconize the IPSW file and then you click “next”.

7. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT INSTALL CYDIA IS CHECKED!!! That is the whole reason that you are jailbreaking. Then click next

8. Shut off your device and get ready. As soon as you click “next”, you have to immediately hold down the power button for 3 seconds, power and home for 10 seconds, and then the home until the next screen pops up or you hear that noise that says something has been connected.  This will be different for the iPhone 3GS.
