Nanuq Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 After some discussion with TwoTone, it became painfully obvious that I needed to jailbreak my iPhone. So I did the deed, and I've discovered a fricken cornucopia of good apps out there. My head is still reeling from the oyster I've opened. I've also found some are great apps, and others... not so great. So here's a thread to describe the good, bad and ugly of apps. Let's see what YOU can't live without? My3G - lie to your iPhone and make it think it's on WiFi. Great for huge podcasts and Skype. Firewall iP - everyone needs a good firewall. Pirni Pro - packet sniffer and ARP spoofer. TVOutTuner - if it's on your phone, see it on your TV. FTP movies to the iPhone and play 'em on the big screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Can you run regular iOS as well Nanuq? Or is it "one or the other"? Just wondering if it would run ok in a corporate environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Red, it's still the same OS, with "extras". Granted, jailbroken phones are the playground of #A><¤Я≥ so you want to be real careful of how you load it up. I'd for sure install the Firewall iP app, so it reports ALL TCP/UDP connection attempts... so if you get a nasty embedded you'll see it trying to "phone home." Then you'll know not to bring it to work till it's disinfected. If you're cautious, you'll actually be safer than running an un-busted phone, and the IT boyz in the corporate environment won't have a clue. Best answer: get TwoTone to install and test apps for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I like that option so far! Does it work on the original 2G? I know there's no 3G capabilities, but is there other fun things that I could play with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flex Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 BiteSms - it will require a password when someone else wants to open your SMS I just installed MyWi. It isn't working on my 3gs. Does the jailbreak version not work? Do I have to prchase from iTunes app store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I love iReal SMS... as well as Lockinfo As for you guys wanting to upgrade to iOS 4 on a 3G iphone... Don't bother, it slowed my phone to an almost unusable state. It may be better on a 3GS, but I don't know. I had to go back and it wasn't easy.
