Dropbox comming to iFile..!

Great news for those of a jailbroken persuasion, as it seems iFile will be getting Dropbox integration for uploading and downloading files according to a tweet from the app’s developers.



iFile is an app for jailbroken iOS devices that acts as a Finder for mobile devices, and the addition of a link to Dropbox can only strengthen the app’s already large appeal to the jailbroken power user.


There is currently no information as to when the new Dropbox feature will be available to users, and we’re sure more than a few of you are waiting patiently for it!

iRetinizeBoot - Optimize icons for retina display

New tweak in Cydia: IRetinizeBoot. Do you have Apps from the iTunes App Store and the icons ruin the look of SpringBoard because they aren’t Retina Optimized icons? Well now there is an effortless solution to that, and it is absolutely free. Introducing iRetinizeBoot. iRetinizeBoot runs when you boot your device, checking for new apps that aren’t retina optimized.

While your device is booting it quickly and efficiently iRetinizes ALL of your icons! Once it finishes, it closes the background process so it isn’t running in the background. When your device finishes booting, your icons are iRetinized! NOTES: Not all icons can be iRetinized, due to bad programming on the app that didn’t iRetinize, but 99.9999 percent of them can be iRetinized! If you have over 100 apps, iRetinizeBoot will finish iRetinizing your app icons, but the last 80 percent might not appear until the next respiring or reboot.
This is due to iRetinizeBoot is still finishing by the time SpringBoard is running. iRetinizeBoot can also at any time be run on your iDevices terminal. Simply type iRetinizeBoot and it will automatically start iRetinizing your apps for you.
iRetinizeBoot is available in Cydia via modmyi repo….

Ipad 2 Users cant connect to Verizon 3G

News:Verizon iPad 2 owners are complaining that if they turn off 3G in settings they can’t reconnect to Verizon’s 3G network unless they reboot. Restoring hasn’t helped and apparently swapping devices hasn’t helped either. It’s unclear how many Verizon iPad 2 3G users are suffering with the bug but an Apple Discussions thread has already filled with page after page of complaints.
UPDATE: Apple issues the following statement concerning the Verizon 3G connection problem:

"We are aware that a small number of iPad 2 customers have experienced connectivity issues with the Verizon 3G network and we are investigating it"

iSTEVE - Steve Jobs official biography

[Other] Could Steve Jobs have agreed to an official biography? According to Simon & Schuster, he has indeed with the book arriving in early 2012.

"Walter Isaacson’s “iSteve: The Book of Jobs” will be published in early 2012. Isaacson has been working on the long-rumored biography since 2009 and has interviewed Jobs, members of his family, colleagues at Apple and competitors."

Having read several of the un-authorized biographies and having listened to Jobs Stanford commencement speech, I’m very much looking forward to this. The story of the man who helped mainstream the CLI (Apple II), GUI (Mac), Multitouch (iPhone and iPad), digital music (iTunes), 3D animation (Pixar), Apple Retail, and more, with his support and input? Yes please.
Only question is iBooks or iTunes audio book?

Iphone 4 Front Camera Spying on users.?

[Other]Disturbing reports come out of the Apple Discussion forums point to some odd goings on courtesy of Apple’s FaceTime equipped iPhone 4. According to reports, the camera may be taking photos of us without our knowledge.

If a couple of discussion board posters are to be believed, the issue was brought to light when a previously unknown photo popped up during a FaceTime call. By unknown, we mean the user says they didn’t take it. Obvious, if probably incorrect assumption later and we’re told the iPhone camera has a mind of its own.

My boyfriend and I have both recently experienced this problem several times – when one of us is calling the other via FaceTime, an old picture freezes on our screen, while the person receiving the call only sees a black screen. It’s kind of creepy, because it brought up photos of both of us at work, where I have used FaceTime a few times but he never has. We’re just wondering how/why this is happening, and if there is a fix. It’s not terribly inconvenient, but it’s definitely unsettling, where is seems that even if we haven’t taken a picture or used FaceTime, the camera is keeping images. If anyone else is experiencing this, we’d love feedback. Thanks!

While a little odd, we’re not sure this warrants the mass hysteria it’s almost guaranteed to cause. For starters, it appears the offending photo is only shown on the original iPhone – no pictures have been transmitted to a 3rd party. Granted it’s strange the users claim to have never taken the photos themselves, it wouldn’t be the first time someone has taken a picture with a smartphone and not known. Hell, we all keep pocket-dialing people don’t we?
Also a possibility is the good old bug. It’s quite likely an iOS glitch could be causing the camera to take a snapshot or hold a buffer’s worth of video when the camera app is launched and this is subsequently not getting purged correctly. If this is the case, then it is likely going to be patched in the upcoming iOS 4.3.2 release.
Anything is possible, and we’re not quite sure the ‘Apple is spying on us, best get the tinfoil hats out’ brigade are right on the money with this one.
Still, we’ve been wrong before!
