How to use Tasks on the iPhone. Follow the tutorial and you will be able to use them in no time.

Set up iGoogle page

Some of you might already have this one. But if you dont use the iGoogle page , this can be done by going to http://www.google.com/ig and logging in with your google account details. By the way, this is on your computer’s browser. The i in iGoogle is not the same as the i in iPhone ( is it? i always thought that the i in every mac product stands for internet, so it might be the same ) . And dont expect your iGoogle page to look like the in the pic below . That is just a iGoogle theme i use.

Jaadu VNC for iPhone

This is a guest post by iRoc, and today he is going to fill you in on one of his most favorite apps :  Jaadu! icon

What exactly is Jaadu and why would I need it, You might ask. Well, let’s say you are at work and you need a file, but that file is on your computer at home. You could call home and try to talk someone through navigating to the file and sending it to you. Oh, but that almost always is a head ache at best. Wouldn’t be great if you could just get in touch with the Enterprise , and teleport back home and get the file? No Jaadu is not about to save you thousands on travel expenses or make your daily commute magically disappear. Though Jaadu was formerly known as Teleport, and it’s the next best thing to a real deal teleporter.

Jaddu will allow you to remotely access any of your computers anytime you want or need right from your iPhone. You will have 100% control over your distant computer, or the one that’s just out of arms reach if you want to roll that way. 100%? That’s right 100%!

Your desktop even shows on the iPhone screen. So you can navigate to the necessary file and send it to yourself via email, instant messenger, any way that you could send that file if you were sitting right there at your computer normally, and everyone is happy and you are the big hero of the day in your boss’s eye.

Here’s how I used it last. I was at the store and I saw a DVD for a movie I had been meaning to download and watch, but always seemed to forget when I was at my computer. So I reached in my pocket got out my iPhone called Scotty and said, “Scotty one for transport.” N o not really. I opened Jaddu selected my laptop at home. Opened Firefox, went to mininova.org and searched for the movie. Once I found it I started the download. I could even check back in periodically to see how the download was coming along. Anything you can do sitting at your computer with your keyboard and mouse you can do on the screen of your iPhone with Jaadu.

Get FSMdotCOM On Your iPhone/Touch Springboard

logo_fsm1

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.

Boost your iPhone/Touch prefferences with this … well…. addon.You can get it from Cydia but, you will need to activate it with winterboard. So let me make myself clear. Download it from cydia, than load winterboard and select it. The springboard will respring and now you will see the icon above instead the normal preferences icon. That means that supreme preferences are activated.

Once you load the supreme preferences, you will notice a new section there ( supreme preferences ) where the majority of the new features are, but it will add some new features among the usual settings. ( note : this will not overwrite your old preferences or something like that. it just adds new stuff )

VIDEO WALLPAPERS & VIDEO RINGTONES FOR YOUR iPhone

I know, i know iPhone can get boring. Every time you see the same springboard, every time you see the same wallpaper when somebody is calling you. Yeah , you can install themes, and that can inject some rainbows and butterflies on your iphone, but how cool would it be if you would have a video background on your springboard? And how would you like to have a video ringtone?


That would be badass huh?Well…. in a few painless steps, you can have all of that. Check this :


  • open cydia
  • search for vWallpaper
  • install vWallpaper ( now, before you tap confirm make sure it will install vWallpaper and SkrewCommon. By default it does, but, if you wont get a 8-9 megs download and a new icon on your springboard make sure u install SkrewCommon as well ) ( how can u make sure that by installing vWallpaper you install both : well on the confirm screen check what message you get under Modifications – Installing )

That’s it , congrats. Videos are available for download from within the application, along with video ringtones. Also, you may use videos downloaded from MxTube. You can manually upload videos that you want to use via SSH. Just upload any .mp4 file onto /private/var/mobile/media/Skrew/vRingtones or /private/var/mobile/media/Skrew/VWBackground

Just to make sure :

upload .mp4 videos for ringtones in /private/var/mobile/media/Skrew/vRingtones

upload .mp4 videos for background in /private/var/mobile/media/Skrew/VWBackground

NOTE :

  • You must disable User Wallpaper in Winterboard for it to display
  • If you got a theme, you must :
  1. ssh onto iphone and delete or rename that theme’s wallpaper
  2. use Mobile Finder, and rename the file
