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,

NOKIA LAUNCHES PIONEERING ‘COMES WITH MUSIC’ DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT SERVICE

New service offers customers unprecedented freedom and value EMI Music, independents and music publishers join offering

Nokia announced the debut of its pioneering Comes with Music digital entertainment service, which offers consumers a new way to discover and enjoy music. Customers who buy a Comes With Music device will be able to explore and enjoy a diverse catalog of music of international and local artists with unlimited access to millions of tracks for a year, keeping the music once the year is over and revolutionizing their digital music experience.

“Comes With Music sets a precedent for consumer value and convenience that the rest of the digital entertainment industry is already copying,” said Tero Ojanperä, executive vice president and head of the Nokia entertainment and communities business. “Trying out a music recommendation is spontaneous as customers can download without worrying about the cost of an album or a track – the freedom and simplicity of the service is unparalleled. And Comes With Music gives you unlimited access to the millions of tracks in the Nokia Music Store and the music is all yours to keep – because it’s not a revolution unless you get to keep your music.”
Comes With Music offers one year of unlimited access to the entire Nokia Music Store catalogue and customers can keep all the music that they have downloaded at the end of the year to continue enjoying their music collection. Comes With Music will be available across a range of Nokia devices, including the new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic – also announced today and the Nokia N95 8GB and Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. With more than 10 million units sold globally since its introduction last year, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is the best selling music phone in the world.

EMI Music has joined as the latest major label to support Comes With Music.

“With the launch of Nokia’s Comes With Music, fans now have a new avenue to find and enjoy music from EMI’s catalogue, and our artists have a powerful new way to reach their fans,” said Douglas Merrill, president, digital business, for EMI Music. “By encouraging music discovery in an innovative and consumer-friendly environment, Comes With Music will continue to push experimentation in the digital music industry.”

ToneFXs – Customize Every System Sound of Your iPhone

The thing is , well all love and appreciate this wonderful technological jewel : the iPhone. But the truth is that on some levels you lack the ability to express yourself with it. Like how many of you wanted to customize the new text message sound. I bet 99.99% of you. Well it is doable but its just too much work that need to be done, in order to achieve that. And isn’t Apple products the ones that ” ..they just work ” ?

Well let me introduce you today to ToneFXs . This app is a great app that lets you customize your iPhone in the way you want to, make it personal. There are 2 parts in this story. First you need a jailbroken iPhone. Once you got a jailbroken iPhone, download and install ToneFXs via cydia onto your iPhone.Now you need to download the desktop app from Efiko Software ( both for Mac and PC ). Once you’ve completed this two steps, you are basically ready to go.

Plug you iPhone into your computer, lunch the program, browse computer for files, rename your files and send them to your iPhone. As simple as it can get. Once you sent all the sounds to your iPhone,  the files will show up now in your option list. ToneFXs allows you to customize just about every system sound of the iPhone. One thing it can’t do is to assign different texts alrets sounds to every contact. I hope they will work on that, cause that would be badass.

The price is donation-based. You can give anywhere from $5 to $15 on the website, and you’ll receive a serial to plug into the app.

You do need to be aware of the caveat that Efiko puts on their site:

If you are familiar with all the past drama that started with iPhone 1.1, you should know we can’t guarantee this app will work in future iPhone and iTunes software because we don’t know what new lock down measures Apple may add to these upcoming iPhone updates that may prevent ToneFXs from working. Thus, we won’t offer refunds if ToneFXs does not work in future iPhone Software. Apple may decide to prevent this customization for whatever reason, however we doubt it as it’s a whole lot of fun and harmless. Regardless, we enjoy ToneFXs as much as you do and are committed to doing everything in our power to update ToneFXs to work with future iPhone and iTunes software updates just as we have done with iPhoneRingToneMaker.

NOTE :

You might get an error from time to time with various files, but dont worry its not you or your files. Just quit the app and relunch it. THat should fix it.

Happy Customizing

LATER EDIT :

Click Browse Computer and search for audio files on you HDD.

Select an audio file that you like and click open.

1. Thats the slider. It is locked on 15 seconds. You can make it less than 15 seconds if you want to and you can position it where you want. Listen to the tune and decide which 15 seconds of it do you want as a sound on you iPhone and position the slider there.

2. Fade in and Fade out the sound. If you don’t want that just delect them

3. Preview to make sure that is what you want.

4. Send to your phone. Thats it. ToneFXs does it magic super fast and the sound its on your phone.

This is ToneFXs option meniu in your iPhone. Personalize your iPhone. Its about damn time.
