Get FSMdotCOM On Your iPhone/Touch Springboard

Lately i’ve noticed that more and more visits to this blog are comming from iPhones. So i thought i would make this easier for you guys out there. If you have room for one more icon on your SpringBoard, you can now put this blog there as if it would be an app.

Does it make any sense? Well it will in a moment…

First of all you need to open MobileSafari and type my address there : www.funkyspacemonkey.com. Once your on the blog, you need to tap the ” + ” on the bottom of the screen.

When you tap that button, you will get a pop-up window and you will have 3 options. You will need to tap the middle option ” Add to Home Screen “

Now this is the final step. You will get a new window where you can set the name of the new icon. By default it automatically takes the blogs name Funky Space Monkey. Now this will be too long for a SpringBoard icon, so i suggest you type FSMdotCOM.

That’s it. Now you have this blog as a shiny icon on your SpringBoard. Anytime, anywhere , no matter the weather , this blog will be just one tap away.

iPhone and iPod Touch F.A.Q.

What is jailbreaking?
Jailbreaking refers to ‘breaking the iPod Touch and iPhone free from the clutches of Apple’. In other words you are hacking the iPod/iPhone inorder to gain access to its files so you can modify your device.

Is jailbreaking illegal?
NOOOOOOO!!!! Ok , this really bugs me. I keep getting emails that ask me the same question. IT IS YOUR DEVICE, YOUR PROPERTY! Once you bought it you can do what ever you want with it. Nobody cares what you do with it.

Ok, but does jailbreaking void my warranty?
Of course. Technically it voids your warranty. But if something goes wrong with your device, all you need to do is hit restore, and there is no way for apple to find out if your device was hacked!

Are cracked apps illegal?
Another question i get emailed about a lot. Really now?!?!? Yes of course it is. You are stealing from the developers! Again, to get myself heard : from the devs, not from apple. Apple is just a 2 way sucking machine. Sucks money from you and from devs. Yes i know, this blog provides cracked apps as well. Why? So you can try it cracked, and if it really suits your needs to buy it. Take it as a fully functional, no time limit demo of the app. Now you can be an ipocrit that accuse me of providing links to cracked apps, but once you done accusing me, you start to download music. Anyway to make a resume : Yes it is illegal , and if you like the app, buy it!!!

Can Apple tell if i have cracked apps?
Do you plan on telling them?

I am a paranoid pussy question : Will i get arrested if i use cracked apps?
NO!!! again nobody will know that you download cracked apps, besides you. And your conscience that will tell you every night before you go to sleep that you just stole from the developers 🙂

Flash Finally on iPhone and iPod Touch?

Remember my post on how to boost MobileSafari?Well if you do, than you remember that there was a plugin that gave you the ability to view flash videos on webpages and eliminates that stinky missing plugin icon.Well this is something similar.

I bet you want me to answer some questions for you. Well let’s do that :

Q : What is it called?

A : iMobileCinema

Q : Is it a flash player?

A : Hell no!

Q : Is it better?

A : Not yet.

Q: Works with .swf?

A: Nope

Q: What about .flv?

A : Well it has to work with something , right?

Q : If i already have this feature from the addons pack that you showed me in the previous post, why do i need this? It’s exactly the same, really do u have some new stuff for me or not?

A : Yep. Well you might not want this right now, but according to their blog , in the near future you will get this :

Some live broadcast sites are using rtmp protocol to deliver videos, e.g., mtv.com, hulu.com. We’ll try to support the protocol later. And playing embedded mp3, like singsbox.com, is a good idea and we’ll try to support it too.

Q : Oh wow, that’s cool! OK , OK, how can i get this?

A : Well , like all good stuff that are happening to the iPhone and/or iPod Touch , you can get this thru Cydia. First you need to add this source : http://d.imobilecinema.com , than you just search for iMobileCinema and install the package.

Q : Anything else that i should be aware about?

A : Hmm… not really. But you might wanna check out iMobileCinema’s Blog

HOW TO INSTALL CRACKED APPLICATIONS ON YOUR iPhone/iPod TOUCH

Ok , since i got a lot of emails lately asking me how to install cracked apps, ive decided to create this small and easy but usefull ( i hope ) tutorial for you guys and girls out there. ( btw do i have any girls reading this blog? that would be dope. let me know, youll get special treatment 😛 ).

So first thing that you need to do is that YOU CANT install cracked apps without a jailbroken device ( iPhone or Touch ). So since i belive in the power of decision and the beauty of options i will offer you 3 methods of installing cracked apps.

iTunes method aka .ipa method.
SSH method aka direct method.
IPAPREP method.

First let me answer some questions for you :

What is SSH?

SSH is a secure way of transferring information (including files) between computers on a network. SFTP is a secure way of transferring files which, despite the name, has little in common with FTP. (definition via link).

What is WinSCP?

WinSCP (Windows Secure copy) is an open source SFTP and FTP client for Microsoft Windows. Its main function is secure file transfer between a local and a remote computer. Beyond this, WinSCP offers basic file manager functionality. For secure transfers, it uses Secure Shell (SSH) and supports the legacy SCP protocol in addition to SFTP. (definition via link).

NOTE : if your on crappy windows os like me, you can do this via iTunnel suite. Check out small tut on how to use it here.

mySMS CONTEST FINALE

First of all , I wanna thank all of you for your wonderful job. This was not a contest to see who is harder, better, faster or stronger ( I love Daft Punk 😛 ). I choose to present you this contest for the following reasons :

Well, I had to come up with a concept that would resemble a competition ( that’s why this was a “contest” )
Really , the answers didn’t matter. Before the contest I was thinking about it long and hard. How can I make this as easy as possible? So I thought this was the best idea. I wanted you to have fun and make it personal…. Now I may have confused you with ” make it personal ” . Well I wanted to give you the power, and customize this app, with words. And that is exactly what you did. “I want this and that, and this?!?!? U kidding that would be so cool…” Feel me? 😀

This was my best idea for the contest. And it’s a win-win situation. Pavel provided me this codes so he wins because now, he knows exactly what his users wants from this app. And you/we win because some of the features will be implemented in future releases. Now this was the history of the contest.

I said above that your comment didn’t need to be some super geeky comment . But I also said that this was ment to improve this app, for us. the users.

And some of you asked for some stuff that was already there. There already is convo style, you can find themes for mySMS on cydia (ugly ass themes, but hey if you want themes you can find them ) and all sorts of stuff. Don’t worry about it tho, demands like that won’t disadvantage you in any way.

My only disappointment was that I couldn’t provide the tutorial video that I promised you. Don’t worry as soon as I get it from Pavel , that badboy will be on my blog and you will learn how to take full advantage of this app.

That being said, I had fun with this contest, and I promise you this was just a start. With time I will provide you bigger and better contests.

P.S. : Pavel will announce the winners , by commenting on THIS post.

Power to the people.

much love,

murda the funky space monkey.

LATER EDIT :

Since it’s Christmas time, and Pavel absolutely ROCKSSSSSS , he gave me another 3 key codes and said i should choose 3 winners . So i would have to deal with this hard work ( of choosing winners ) as well. Hard but…. i will post the winners in a couple of hours.

much love ,

murda the funky space monkey

LATER LATER EDIT :

THE WINNERS ARE :

Mick.
Tim.
Magnum.
Tony Tony Tone.
Sean77.
Texter.

The rest of you : Thank you so much for all your interest in this contest. Dont be sad! This is just the beginning. 😉

much love,

CONTEST : WIN A KEY CODE TO REGISTER mySMS SECURE VERISON FOR iPhone

Sup Funky Space Monkeys?

Well the moment you all be waiting for is here. Im talking about the contest, that most of you know about.

For all of you that don’t have any clue what this post is about , read further :

A couple of weeks ago Ive posted on my blog ” how to crack mySMS “. Unfortunately the crack works and not really. I had a massive response to that post , and I want to thank all of you that got into it, and specially if you were trying to help others that had problems with the crack.

A couple of days ago, I was contacted by Pavel Egorkin, one of the developers of mySMS from iSoft.com, and he told me to stop using a crack for their application and gave me a key code to register the app. That mailed blew my mind and I couldn’t belive it.

I took my phone and I was about to enter the code and register mySMS, when I was shocked that I really was about to do that. “What am I doing? This doesen’t belong to me…. I got this because all the wonderful people on my blog. This doesn’t belong to me. “

And I sent a mail back to Pavel and told him, that I am not going to use if for me, as much as I appreciate it, but I am going to give it to somebody that Is reading my blog.

I don’t want to be a fuckin thief, I want to help people, not steal from them. Pavel was so kind, and provided me with some codes and there will be 3 winners on this contest not just one as I planned.

The codes are for mySMS secure version. Now, Pavel will send me a video tutorial on how to use mySMS secure version to it’s full potential. Unfortunately , they are busy now, and they didn’t have time to polish the video. The video will be up on my blog as soon as I got my hands on it.

SELF-MASSAGE TREATMENT FOR CONSTIPATION

I have been asked today to do a review for a site that offers solution to constipation problems. This is something i would normally not write about, well in this blog at least. But since this is the only blog i got ( i got like 4-5 others but i dont deal with them anymore ) and i thought it was funny as hell to be asked to write about ” constipation ” , well……. Anyway bare with me, cause as funny as it sounds, this is , in fact, a serious deal. I mean imagine yourself as a dead end street : all sorts of stuff are going in and nothing comes out.

Self-massage treatment constipation appears to be borrowed from China and this type of massage is closely related to acupuncture and considered to be effective for a similar range of health problems. Their website is presented to you in a very minimalistic design but pretty straight forward. The hilarious thing is that they actually answer the question ” What is constipation? “… i mean if you got on their site ( from google, or from blogs like mine, or a friend told you , really doesent matter ) , doesent that imply that you are pretty familiar with the term?

SONG OF THE DAY : MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD ganja babe

Some of you may have noticed that i didnt do a song of the day post on this blog in a long time. Mainly because i got this technological jewel called iPhone and it rock’d my world. But thats the main reason. I got a secondary reason : lately no tune rock’d my world.

Well last night i found this tune from Michael Franti & Spearhead called Ganja Babe. Some of you may know this tune from Weeds ( TV show) . Anyway this is a really great tune, with a subtle hint of erotic flavor to it. When i played this tune for the first time i got a feeling like it can go great with movies like Lords of DogTown
