Awesome: Rock Band Performs in the Subway Using iPhones

Sébastien Page ∙ October 16, 2010

It's not the first time we see artists playing music on iPhones, or even iPads. Of all those bands playing with iDevices, this one has to be my favorite.

The name of the band is Atomic Tom, and apparently, the story behind it is that they got their instrument stolen and decided to keep rocking... on their iPhones...

Action Menu Wishlist: 10 Requests

Guest Author ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

Need a reason to jailbreak? If SBSettings isn't enough of a reason, Action Menu sure is. Being my favorite jailbreak tweak, I now dream up ways that it can make the iPhone's interaction with selected text even better. And it has an SDK, so anything's possible, even though the developer is not taking requests.

Here's what I'd like to see:

Dev Teams Shows Off PwnageTool jailbreak for iPhone 4.1

Sébastien Page ∙ October 15, 2010

Dev Team member MuscleNerd has recorded a video demon of their latest jailbreak for iOS 4.1 PwnageTool. The video showed an iPad being restored to a pre-jailbroken iOS 3.2.2.

PwnageTool is a jailbreak method that lets you update your iPhone to the latest iOS while preserving the baseband. This is particularly important if you're looking to unlock your iPhone as there are currently no unlock available for the latest basebands and there probably won't be at least until iOS 4.2 comes out in November...

Coolest iPhone Lockscreen Ever Just Got Even Cooler

Guest Author ∙ Updated April 2, 2018

Back in August, Sebastien posted about Typophone 4, a really awesome iPhone lockscreen for jailbroken iPhones, and I've been using it ever since.

Now there's a modified version created by a fan that includes weather info at the bottom, complete with hi-res images and forecasts. You can choose what cities you want to be able to select from, and you can toggle to view current conditions, today's forecast, and tomorrow's forecast. The data is pulled from Yahoo! weather.

The app comes with only 3 pre-set cities, and it's a little tricky to change to your own, as it requires using a SSH client. So here's a walkthrough:

Sébastien Page ∙ October 15, 2010

A few months ago we showed you how to turn your iPhone lockscreen into an aquarium. Turns out this tweak wasn't free and was very buggy. The good news is that we now have another option. It's called MultiFishLockScreen.

MultiFishLockScreen is a free tweak available for free on Cydia. This theme was especially developed to animate the lockscreen with a nice submarine view...

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0.2 and baseband 01.59.00. Can I jailbreak? Can I unlock? I get asked this question about 20 times a day and to be honest with you, it's kinda getting old.
