How-To: Make iPhone Apps Run Fullscreen Without Double Pixel Mode

iPhone apps already run full screen.



BUT they run in Double (the 2x button in the corner) pixel mode which looks pretty bad.

But, we can fix this for SOME apps.
We also get to use the big iPad keyboard instead of the tiny iPhone one. (Excellent for facebook chat).
Our Facebook went from this:

STEPS:

How to install cracked apps via iTunes

THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY!!!!!


Disclaimer:
We do not intend to pirate or to actually teach you how to pirate an app just for the sake of it. I do it and want to teach people how to do it for the following reasons ONLY!:
1) Lots of App Store apps are not free and  they don't  have a trial version so, people who dont want to shell out extra bucks can follow the instructions given in this tutorial.
2) When some apps migrate from Cydia or Installer and you have bought them before they migrated, there is no way to get them without actually buying them again via iTunes AppStore.

Install Jaywalker's OpeniBoot On iPod Touch 2G [How To]




OpeniBoot is an open source implementation of iBoot for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch devices. It allows booting of unsigned code such as linux kernels on the device. There is also and OpeniBoot console (oibc) which can be connected to from a libusb enabled computer. Jaywalker's OpeniBoot is critical for the booting and usage of linux on the iPhone as it sets up and initializes many devices ready for the linux kernel to take over. Many iBoot functions are replicated here, however when booting iOS iBoot is chainloaded from the NOR to guarantee iOS will boot without problems even with OpeniBoot installed.


Latest Version of OpeniBoot : 0.2

Below is a guide on how to install Jaywalker's OpeniBoot on iPod Touch 2G. This program is still in Alpha mode so don't expect too much. We highly recommend that you back up your iPod Touch before continuing with the process. 

Tether Motorola Droid to iPod touch


WHAT YOU WILL NEED!

1. Motorolla Droid w/ a ROM that has wifi tethering on it. I recommend the Bugless Beast ROM found here.

2.Make sure on your DROID that you have the wifi tethering app. If you are using BB (Bugless Beast) the app will not defaultly be installed.

3. Have an iPod Touch any Gen on any firmware.

iPhodroid: Automated Installation Of Android OS On iPhone 2G and 3G [Mac]

iPhodroid:

The advantage of this app is that it will automagically transfer all the files to your iDevice, and keeps the device on safe, because no installation is processed. But it is only available for Mac users. However, if you use iPhodroid, you will no longer need a Linux machine or a Linux virtual machine.

NOTE: You should disable the auto-lock on your iPhone. To do this, go to Settings>General>Auto-lock and set it to ‘Never’.


[How To] Hook SpringBoard

Basic Concept

Ok, hooking into SpringBoard is actually very easy. What you do is have SpringBoard open a dynamic library that you create, which calls the initializing function within your dylib(specified when linking). From here you take whatever Class from SpringBoard you wish to override a method from that is in memory, and you "redirect" the method to another that you create. 


YES, this is the EXACT SAME WAY that WinterBoard works, meaning you can do just about anything with and / or to SpringBoard, or any objective-c class in memory for that matter.


How To Transform Your iPhone Into A Wireless Modem For iPad





How to transform iPhone into wireless modem for iPad
While a 3G enabled version of the iPad can help you connect to the internet on-the-move, the drawback is definitely the price. The iPad 3G + Wi-Fi version costs an additional $130 over the Wi-Fi only model. Also, users who have subscribed to an AT&T data plan have to pay an additional $15 or $30 per month for 3G access.
If you are one of those readers facing this dilemma, here is a nifty trick that will enable your iPad Wi-Fi only model to access internet over an iPhone's 3G datanetwork. The benefits are two-fold in that you save not just on the additional $130 to enable 3G on your iPad, but also on the monthly data plan charges that iPad users need to pay the network carrier for 3G access.
