no it should show on the phone like an app when jailbroken, just launch it from there

Cydia is really good. Some of the things i've got from it are.

Adblock - blocks popups in safari
categories - put apps into folders
five comlumn springboard - have five colums instead of the usual four, means you can have more lovely apps on your 10 pages

isteamy - ummmm adult app
scrobbled - scrobble your tunes to last.fm
spot - spotify (although an official spotify app is in development)
Video tube - download or stream movies straight to your phone.
snes4iphone - snes emulator

Basically it makes a record on your last.fm account of what you've been listening too and then you can go from there to recommended artists based on your taste or set up a radio station of songs they think you'll like. I know you're into your music so I think you'd like it, you can end up hearing some quite obscure bands.

that is my page if you want to take a look around at the features.

So it transmits what you listen to on the ipod into last.fm to create recommendations?

That's cool.

Edit: I do like last.fm anyway.

Rado_N · 27th July 2009, 19:54

Has anybody else been having trouble trying to convert tracks to ringtones?

I'm adding .m4r at the end of the file but windows isn't changing the file type, just the name

EDIT: should mention that I have created an AAC version of less than 40 seconds, and have managed to do this before.

RedNome · 27th July 2009, 19:56

Here you go Nick, only used it the once, but it worked a treat.

Rado_N · 27th July 2009, 19:58

Cheers pal!

I'll download that now

GE · 27th July 2009, 19:59

Just use GarageBand to make ringtones if you're on a Mac.

Rado_N · 27th July 2009, 20:03

I'm on windows GE, I have created ringtones before by just shortening the track I want to <40 seconds, creating AAC and then adding .m4r in properties to change the file type.

But when I do all that now its just changing the file name and not the type so it doesn't import as a ringtone.

GE · 27th July 2009, 20:08

Ok matey.

The one i use scrobbles (I hate that bloody word) when you plug into your pc and updates your profile from that. There is a version that does instant scrobbling now but I've not tried it as I imagine it wastes battery.

You need to make windows display known file extensions, what windows os are you running?

Vista.

EDIT: found the file extentions option and its worked now, cheers mate.

Boothy · 27th July 2009, 21:24

I've used iRinger, but the files wont go into my iTunes

Rado_N · 27th July 2009, 21:34

That iringer thing worked for me in so far as it exported the file, but it played with lots of skips and gaps.

Boothy to create your own rintones:

1. Select the song you want as a tone.
2. Right click and select 'Get Info', then select 'options' tab.
3. Change the start and stop times to the section of the song you want (has to be 40secs or less)
4. Right click again and select 'Create AAC version'.
5. Right click on your new <40 second track and select 'show in windows explorer'
6. Change the file type from .m4a to .m4r
7. Import your new file into iTunes and it should be listed under ringtones.
8. Change the start and stop times back on the original song.
9. Delete the shortened version of the song from your music library (so it is only listed as in the ringtones section)

Boothy · 28th July 2009, 13:28

Boothy · 28th July 2009, 13:37

Vegas Pool Sharks Lite - Fun little game with no need to buy full version
iBowl - Good fun
Audi A4 - Tough little game
Tennis '09 - payed for it, and its brilliant
Bubblewrap - fun
iBall3D - shit, but not deleted unless i get really bored
Pumpkin - Made a cool wallpaper at halloween
Pac-Man - don't think I've actually played it yet
Tap Tap revenge - great game
Soccer Kickoff - shit
SGN Golf - Brilliant
iShoot lite - like worms, but better
iBaseball - looked good
Touch Cricket - just got this, its a really good game
Waterslide- it looked good
Keepy uppy - good game
BTires Lite - good game
iPint - its a bit pointless
Air Hockey - first app I got
Lightsaber - I really shouldnt like it as much as I do
Facebook - Need I say more?
eBuddy- for MSN

blythy · 28th July 2009, 13:54

Love my iPhone - had one for 2 years and I'd be lost without it now.

Most USEFUL apps (excluding games etc...)

Around Me
Analytics
Mobile Allowance
Tweetie
Things
Shazam
TVGuide

iSparky · 28th July 2009, 14:13

How and how much is it to jailbreak a 3g or 3gs?

I cannot control myself for much longer and will give in to the iPhone

I've spent quite a bit of cash messing around with cases and invisible shields, but I now prefer to use the iPhone as it is to be honest. When I first got it I was worried about scratches and stuff, but it's been around 5 months without using a case and it's still in mint condition.

If you really want a case I'd recommended the Incipio Feather. It adds minimal bulk to the iPhone, you barley even notice it's on. It probably isn't good for 'drop' protection though.

The Marware CEO Glide is a nice leather case.

well from what they say if the jailbreak goes wrong the worst thing that would happen is you would have to restore to factory settings and sync again. just do a backup first

Boothy · 28th July 2009, 14:58

hmm, could somebody send me a link on how to do it?

Addict · 28th July 2009, 14:59

About to order my iPhone now. Says I get unlimited data and WiFi, does this mean I can browse Internet everwhere or do I need to connect to someone elses WiFi?
