New: Make it Mine (MIM)77 Comments

So I was messing around with a bunch of undocumented SpringBoard preferences, when I bumped into one that lets you set a fake carrier. It’s called (surprise, surprise) SBFakeCarrier. Heh.Make it Mine allows you to set any short string (actually nearly any short string, it kind of balks with some punctuation) as your “carrier”. Launch, type some text, tap Set. The program quits, restarting SpringBoard, and when you unlock, your new “carrier” awaits.”Before taking your iPhone into the genius bar, make sure to use “reset”, which removes the preference from SpringBoard and resets you back to your defaults.


Command-line Push-to-Talk0 Comments

You can use the two new utilities (catch and throw) along with recaudio and playaudio to chat. Create a shell script along the following lines:

recaudio foo.amr
throw foo.amr
catch bar.amr
playaudio bar.amr

Repeat as desired and make sure that the units are 180-degrees out of sync. One unit catches while the other unit throws.


iPhone-to-iPhone File Transfer3 Comments

I just posted about iPhone (or touch) to iPhone (or touch) file transfer over at TUAW. SendFile now uses yesterday’s Bonjour breakthroughs and “share”s files. Scan the area for any files that are being shared.

This is a first release with this new tech and still a little rusty. I forgot to assign each phone a separate service id so they conflict with each other if you try to make both share at the same time. I’ll try to fix this in upcoming releases.


Adding afc2 back to your 1.1.1 iPhone30 Comments

Erica Sadun | 4:03 pm | October 16, 2007 | How-to, Hacks

You need to add an afc2 service if you want to use iphuc and see your entire directory tree. The instructions and a couple of utilities are found here

In order to enable afc2 on your iPhone, go to /System/Library/Lockdown. Copy your Services.plist to OriginalServices.plist. Then edit Services.plist to add:

	<key>com.apple.afc2</key>
	<dict>
		<key>Label</key>
		<string>com.apple.afc2</string>
		<key>ProgramArguments</key>
		<array>
			<string>/usr/libexec/afcd</string>
			<string>--lockdown</string>
			<string>-d</string>
			<string>/</string>
		</array>
	</dict>

Reboot your iPhone. Then, in iphuc, issue setafc com.apple.afc2 and bob’s your uncle.
