Contrary to what Apple would have you believe, it is not illegal, and not everyone is looking for a hacked version of Call of Duty. Here is a screenshot of my lockscreen, and home screen: Lock Homescreen The ability to have everything in folders on one page is great. 5 icons in the bottom dock. Personalized status bar. Ability to search different sources (Amazon, Last.fm, abMP3, Google) from iTunes store. Ability to download and save YouTube videos. Download files from Safari. Apps can run in the background.

Bayou_Eagle_Driver Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 ^ Nice theme. I agreee about the jailbreak. My favorite apps are: PocketInformant (replaces default calendar) ForeFlight Mobile (AMAZING flying app...well worth the subscription...its no longer $80) Facebook Skype RunKeeper and Cylay (Jailbroken app...lets you track your phone via website if it's ever stolen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest merlock Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I've googled "jailbreaking" before, what is the best program to use? It mostly depends on what firmware your iDevice running, and to a lesser extent-what hardware the device is. By far, the easiest is Blackra1n.

aspec Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 ^ Nice theme. I agreee about the jailbreak. My favorite apps are: PocketInformant (replaces default calendar) ForeFlight Mobile (AMAZING flying app...well worth the subscription...its no longer $80) Facebook Skype RunKeeper and Cylay (Jailbroken app...lets you track your phone via website if it's ever stolen) Agreed on ForeFlight Mobile. The subscription is still $74.99 a year though. I've been using the free 30 day trial the past few days during our cross country. Nothing like being able to drop a deuce while planning my flight. I wasn't able to get the flight plan filing part to work though (kept getting some error message). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripster Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Favorite: Sleep Cycle and is right now .99. The accelerometer measures your movement throughout the night. You can see peaks and valleys of your sleep. The point of the app is to wake you up within a thirty minute window when you are not in a deep sleep so you can wake up refreshed. So far it is pretty right on. *I am no way affiliated with this app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravedigger Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) I've got like 8 pages, but these are the ones I use most frequently. Also if you don't yet have google voice you need to get it. It's amazing, and if you work in a place you can't have a phone, it allows you to send and receive texts, calls, and voicemails. Military have priority on invites, just go here to get started. Utility: Bump (Bump is a must have, it's seriously the most useful app I have) DirecTV Golfshot GPS (cost like $20 but works better than a $200 sky caddy IMO) Sportacular Shazam Translator Urbanspoon AeroWeather USAA Showtimes First Aid USA Manual (Really useful for political discussions) USA Forces Weather Channel Pandora Chipotle (Awesome for skipping lines during the lunch rush) IMDb (I'm always looking up movies, actors, etc so this is very handy) Games: FlightControl Fieldrunners (Seriously addicting) Lux Touch (Risk) Tap Tap 1 and 2 Labyrinth Mr. Aahh!!

NOLAflyer Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 It mostly depends on what firmware your iDevice running, and to a lesser extent-what hardware the device is. By far, the easiest is Blackra1n. How exactly does this work? I heard that once you download it and mess with your iPhone you cant sync it without it resetting the old format. Maybe I misunderstood, but regardless I'm not technilogically informed enough to understand any ill effects to the phone and/or problems encountered with retailers should I need to take the phone in for some sort of glitch or problem. Can anyone enlighten me on this? Because I've seen a few jailbroken phones that look cool and want to do myself. Anyway, a list of what I like: UTILITY: USAA Red Laser Files Kayak Pilot Wiz AeroWeather Weather Channel FUN/GAMES: USA Today Crossword Shazam Flixster TFLN (Texts From Last Night) Epic Fail Battleship Kaeru Jump Words with Friends FREE (my new favorite) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Look up Blackra1n and follow the instructions; it's incredibly easy. You can still sync with itunes like normal, just don't accept any software updates (until the new software version is jailbroken), i.e. if you jailbreak at 3.0.2, don't let itunes update you to 3.0.3 until that version is jailbroken. Usually you won't have to worry about it that much unless you really have a hard on (sts) for having the most up-to-date version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techsan Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I used the USAA app the other day to deposit a check. Crazy that you can take a picture of the check and the money gets put into your account in about 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
