hClipboard is Another iPhone Copy/Paste App

by Sebastien on Jan 23, 2009

Earlier this week I posted about Clippy, an application that brilliantly brings copy/paste to the iPhone. I love Clippy. It is simple and it does exactly what you want it to do. One thing it doesn’t do is letting you copy text from Safari, but hey, you can’t ask it too much…

Available since today in Cydia is hClipboard, a copy/paste application that does the same as Clippy, except it makes it harder for you use…

Before installing hClipboard, I looked at the “more information” tab in Cydia about this app. I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of directions to use this app. I think that I’m a pretty smart guy when it comes to tech stuff so I didn’t read the directions and decided to try it thinking I would figure it out.

I installed the app and went to the my Mail app to try it out. Once there I didn’t know what to do. I briefly looked at the instructions online but honestly, I was turned off. To me, an app should be simple enough so a caveman can do it. This app required to much effort from me. I know that I should just read the instructions and I would get it in a minute but for some reason, I don’t want to.

That’s too bad because hClipboard seems to be a pretty good app from what I read… I’ll stick too Clippy!

UPDATE: I wasn’t able to fall asleep last night so I played around with hClipBoard for a bit and I realized how easy it is to use.

  • Simply place the cursor where you want to start copying text and hit the “select from here” icon (see image above)
  • Then place the cursor where you want to end the text copy and hit the same icon to “select to here and copy”
  • That’s it. The text is now copied to your clipboard.
  • You can repeat the steps above several times and have multiple copied sections on your clipboard.
  • Now whenever you want to paste the text somewhere, simply tap this piece of text on your clipboard.

You can also create templates of text you paste on a regular basis, which is very convenient for email signatures for examples.

hClipBoard is definitely better than Clippy and after giving it a real try, I can tell that this is my new favorite copy/paste app.

Let me know you experience with the app in the comments.

A Quick Look At WordsWorth

by Guest Author on Jan 23, 2009

99Games Online Private Limited has released a word finding game called WordsWorth [iTunes Link]. This is a fun Scrabble-like game in which you need to find words with the letters given. You connect the letters and create a “chain” of letters to form a word.

The game has well done artwork. You can shake your device if you are stuck and need help, but of course this comes with a penalty. There are also “time tiles” which can blow up your library.  The current version of WordsWorth features:

  • 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, and 7×7 grids
  • Scramble count per level
  • Set minimum word length
  • TWL, SOWPODS and ENABLE word lists
  • Wall of WoW to display high scores
  • Green, Gold and Wild Card reward tiles
  • Buzzwords for bonus
  • 20 levels with different rankings
  • Customize the timer speed for a game

The game is available in the App Store for $1.99. This game is great for just $2. Anyone who enjoys word games and Scrabble should take a look at this. And for those of you who are still not convinced, there is a free lite version of WordsWorth available.

How To Watch Ustream Over 3G

by Sebastien on Jan 22, 2009

I made it clear that I’m not a big fan of Ustream. One of the concern many of you have is that it doesn’t work over 3G. Well, I’ve got good news for you. Thanks to this simple hack, you will now be able to watch Ustream over 3G, and not only rely on wifi.

In order to do so, there are some prerequisites:

  • Your iPhone must be jailbroken – see quickpwn 2.2 tutorial
  • You must install the following apps from Cydia: Mobile Substrate; OpenSSH; VoIPover3G (reboot after install)
  • You must not be scared of playing around with your iPhone files…

Now comes the funny part! Note that from now on, I assume you are familiar with SSH. If not, there are plenty of tutorial on YouTube that will show you how to do that.

1. SSH into your iPhone and go to the root directory “/”

2. Navigate to /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries

3. With a text editor, open VoIPover3G.plist

4. Look for:

Filter = {Bundles = ("com.Fringland.Fring", "com.apple.AppStore", "com.audiofile.Interstate", "com.apple.MobileStore");};

Now add this part: , “tv.ustream.player”

It should look like this:

Filter = {Bundles = ("com.Fringland.Fring", "com.apple.AppStore", "com.audiofile.Interstate", "com.apple.MobileStore", "tv.ustream.player");};

Don’t forget the “,” and the quotation marks!

5. Save the changes you just made and upload the file back to its location: /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries

6. Now go to your springboard and delete the Ustream application. Reboot your iPhone and reinstall Ustream from the App Store.

7. You’re good to go! Ustream should now work over 3G!

I want to thank GreenGeek to email me all these instructions! If you have such hacks you want to share with us, feel free to contact me.
