Anthony Kash did this video for TheNovus.net . Dude gave a quick shoutout to FSMdotCOM 😀 . One thing Anthony forgot to tell you, is to always start fresh. If your device is already jailbroken, it is highly recommended to start with a legit 2.2 FW.

Tips on Saving Battery Life for iPhone and iPod Touch
Everybody is complaining about the battery life on iPhone 3G. Well there are a couple of things you can do to save your battery life. This will not have a strict order and some of them tips might not suit you.
- Once per week try to use all the battery life of your iPhone/iPod Touch and than charge it 100%. By doing this you will reset your battery. The more you recharge your device, without letting the battery die completely, the lower your ‘battery capacity’ is.
- If you got a jailbreaked device, you know how fast your battery life is sucked . One of the reasons is SSH. The SSH process is running in the background when any network activity is available. You can turn this off with BossPreff or SBSettings.
- Do you have WiFi? Great thing this WiFi huh? Have you noticed how much battery life this sucks, especially when paired with browsing the web? Well when not used or you are out of its reach, you can turn it off. If WiFi is on, and your not in a hotspot, it will constantly search for networks in background, and your loosing battery life for nothing.
- Speaking of WiFi…. when you use WiFi turn EDGE and 3G off. ( If you want to use 3G, you NEED TO HAVE EDGE ON . 3G will not work if EDGE is not on )
- Dim the screen dudes. Really who stands the 100% brightness on the 3G? I really cant , it hurts my eyes. And if you got it set to 100% this beautiful screen will suck the battery life like crazy.
- Turn off Auto-Brightness . Well , first of all this is annoying ( to me ), and if off it will not only stop increasing the brightness level, it will also use less resources ( nothing to monitor )
- You might also want to set Auto-Lock to 1 min. The more your screen in on ( if not used ), the more battery its using.
- Do you like your sound effects? Some of them are cool, but if you don’t want to turn them off, at least set them to either Speaker or Headphones. By default sound effects are set to both.
- You might also want to turn off EQ. If EQ is off, less resources used to monitor .
- Try to check your emails less. When emails is checked there is network activity.
Again, this has no particular order and some of them ( or most of them ) might not suit you. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU TO RESET YOUR BATTERY ( see bullet-point 1 ). This is a must, and its not only for iPhone or iPod Touch. The other tips or hints are optional.

JAILBREAK – LEGAL? SOON, MAYBE….
Do you know what DMCA ( Digital Millennium Copyright Act ) is? Well, it’s a law that Mr. Clinton signed like 10 yrs ago and that says something like “… it is illegal to produce or disseminate technology that is put in place to control access to copyrighted material.” or something like that. I dont care that much , because i dont live in US , and this law is not affecting me . But if you want to read more about it, you can do so here
Every couple of years, Library of Congress and some other dudes are looking for suggestions in order to revise the DMCA. Now ,this year a group by the name of Electronic Frontier Foundation is petitioning for the privilege of hacking smartphones ( read here the petition ).
What does that mean? Well if you got your iPhone jailbreaked , than you know that this is a copyright violation and that Apple ( they only do it in theory ) can sue you for modifying the firmwire. Now, if this petition is bullet proof and this are some hardcore dudes , soon we can legally jailbreak our beloved iPhone and we wont loose the warranty for doing so. ( thats my only gain out of this lol )
iPhone : NOW FOR THE BLIND
A certain designer dude , named Bruno Fosi came out with this brilliant idea of ” Silicon Touch iPhone case “. But the case is not enough. It also needs and app to allow special accessibility functions like text to speech and moon type tactile feedback. The case is engraved with modified bas-relief buttons each corresponding to a modified home screen on the iPhone.
CRACK iRealSMS 2.
DOWNLOAD CRACK
- SSH the files in Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries
- Set Permissions to 0755
- Install iRealSMS 2. Open , then : purchase – activate – activate and enter code
- The code to enter: 6D88Op5Wxup ( IT IS CASE-SENSITIVE )
NOTE 1: IF You have Intelliscreen installed , do not enable performance boost.The crack also requires mobilesubstrate to be installed , can be found in cydia.
NOTE 2 : There is a known issue for Arabtaller users. Arabtaller conflicts with the serial registry library that is used , so everytime you use the crack with the program , Arabtaller is deactivated inside iRealSMS . This is an Arabtaller issue , and i absolutely can do nothing about it nor anyone else.
NOTE 3 : mad props for the following badass dudes that cracked this app : Nadeem97 , Crash-x for the libs and great work , meshom , persichini.
FAQ: It is not working for me , whats wrong ?!
- You dont have mobilesubstrate installed
- You have intelliscreen installed
- You didnt set correct permissions on the files( 0755 )
- You entered the wrong code.
- You installed iRealSMS and not iRealSMS 2 (they are separate packages, really)
- You didnt place the files where they are supposed to go.
