MUST HAVE Jailbreak apps?

[bradenwh]

MyWi is one of my newest must-haves. Of course, you have to install RockYourPhone, but it's worth it in my opinion.

MyWi allows you to turn your iPhone into a WiFi hotspot, so you can connect other devices to it and share your internet connection with them. So an iPod touch can select your iPhone from the list of WiFi hotspots available and use the internet. I tried it today with my friend's iPod Touch and it works.

So cool.

Oh, and I forgot another for me. GriP, which is Growl for iPhone.
GriP's been updated to replace the Push Notification pop up, so you don't get such an obtrusive pop up. It appears in the corner as a translucent pop up, and you can read it, and after a while it'll disappear. You can also tap it and it'll take you to the app that sent the notification. Way better than Apple's way of doing it.

I'm surprised more people aren't saying OpenSSH. I couldn't even consider getting an iPhone if OpenSSH weren't available for it.

Why SSH when you can use Diskaid?

I tried to help a friend install it on his unlocked 2G 3.0 Iphone and it completely locked up his phone. Just stuck on the pineapple screen. I had to do a complete restore and re-unlock it.

I'm a little nervous to try it on my 3GS but it seems like some aren't have any problems with it.

I don't think SB settings affects performance too much. Winterboard slows things down though.

Jailbreak must have app, MXTube.

What do you use as a LOUD email notification? I have the AOL sound of "you've got mail". It's a beating but it sure beats the default sound.

Thanks

If you search for "mail motherf*cker" I use the BEEP BEEP from that sound, I can't use the rest since I'm in a professional environment. It's really loud that I have no issues hearing it even on the bus.

I jailbroke yesterday and am having a hard time finding reasons to justify it. I've got SBSettings and iRealQuickSMS and am so far happy with them. Visually I can't find anything appealing. Any of the themes I used before are lacking in the icon department and have most likely been abandoned by the developer.

Is there any good, clean themes that are compatible with 3.0 (themes messages)?

I use the Glass Orb theme from ToyVan. Last I checked he has over 1,100+ icons which is a pretty good amount. He just updated to 3.0 compatable too. check it out.

Winterboard

So, being the good non-early-adopter that I am, I just upgraded to 3.0 jb'd. I'm having some issues getting winterboard to work though. I generally just use the apple icon's w/ my own background.

Ive reinstalled winterboard a few times, rebooted, and tried all the usual fixed. Does anyone have the magic bullet for getting winterboard working w/ 3.0?

Thanks,
Arisian

My phone isn't near me, but I have:

Backgrounder
Winterboard
Haptic Feedback (vibration of the keys when you type)
OpenSSH
Appsync (, I'm cheap, lol)
Status Notifier
BiteSMS (It replaces the default SMS program. Check it out. Its not free, tho)

Does Status Notifier work in 3.0? In the info is says 2.x

Mine does on my 3GS.

huh, last time i tried i think it shut my phone down, i'll try again.

Guess it worked. maybe i got impatient on the respring the first time.

 

[CallofDutyFreak]

I'm using Notifier 3.0 if that makes a difference.

 

[csmitty]

I'm using Notifier 3.0 if that makes a difference.

Ah, I installed StatusNotifier. and it works. But trying to open the settings it just crashes. But the missed call and email shows up. But I think there are settings for the lock screen. I just liked the icons better for this one. I'll give Notifier a try though.

Having the notification on the lock screen is one of my main reasons for JB.

The icons for notifier 3.0 seem to look the same as the ones for status notifier.

according to the screen shots notifiers seem to be red when in an app.

If I miss a call the phone one is red but the message and mail icon appear blue. May be the theme I'm using but if you miss a call it is definitely red.

If I could have only one app on a JB iPhone it would be Backgrounder.

With it I can run Slacker, Pandora, etc and still be able to surf the web, check email or text. It alone is the reason I jailbroke again.

Backgrounder is broken right now. I just downloaded it and it gave me a message that it wasn't working?

I enabled it for Pandora so it must be working....weird.

 

[spartanrob]

What's so great about SBSettings? Doesn't it lag the phone more?

doesn't seem to impact my 3GS at all. it's nice to be able to turn things on and off (like BT) without having to go 3 menus deep.

Previously Backgrounder had some other extra functions to it that it could do. Currently though with 3.0, it only works for running things in the Background, which is all I used it for anyways so I don't really care.

I read the comments on Cydia for Backgrounder and decided to give them a little more time to smooth out some of the bugs. Right now all I have running is:

SbSettings
PdaNet
CyDelete
att Carrier Logo
Weather Icon

Really waiting for this weeks update to VoiPover3G, the real reason I did the jb on my 3G and now my 3G S.

Hi, i'm thinking about jailbreaking my iphone today but i'm wondering where I would find all these great apps? Thanks!
