Flash To HTML5 Conversion Tool ‘Wallaby’ Brings Flash Content To iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

Adobe today has released their Flash-to-HTML5 conversion tool in an effort to bring Flash based content on to non-Flash devices such as the popular iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Dubbed as Wallaby (codename), the software enables developers to convert their Flash based content to a compatible HTML5 version so that they can run on HTML5 based browsers like Mobile Safari, found on iOS devices.

"Wallaby" is the codename for an experimental technology that converts the artwork and animation contained in Adobe® Flash® Professional (FLA) files into HTML. Wallaby is not a final product and is still in the testing and validation phase. We are not yet able to commit to a roadmap for this experimental technology.

9to5Mac has got a nice video walkthrough which shows the said software in action:

Available for both Windows and Mac, Wallaby can be downloaded via the links given below.

Personal Hotspot Feature Coming to all iPhones in iOS 4.3 (Confirmed)

Yesterday was Verizon iPhone’s day and we saw the personal hotspot feature that debuted on the Verizon iPhone yesterday in iOS 4.2.5. Well, a source of BGR has told them that this feature’ll be making its way to all iPhones in iOS 4.3.

According to our source, the personal hotspot feature that debuted on the Verizon iPhone yesterday will, in fact, be making its way to all iPhones in iOS 4.3. We’re sure there will need to be carrier support for this feature, and for AT&T users it is entirely possible we might not see this right away.

According to the report, you’ll be able to connect up to five devices over Wi-Fi to the iPhone’s cellular data connection. Their source notifies that iOS 4.3 version 8F5148b will be launched in March with baseband 04.08.00. New baseband? Should the unlock be delayed until iOS 4.3 launch? Or released before 16th January?

Apple May Have Patched Limera1n Exploit in Newer iOS Devices (iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch) – Report

We have just been tipped off, by the user himself to an interesting story that he posted over at ModMyi Forums where he bought a new iPad (running iOS 4.2.1) for his lady as a Christmas present, only to find out that he was not able to jailbreak it using the latest version of Redsn0w.

orbyorb: @TaimurAsad Please read http://bit.ly/hJuCSc –limera1n has probably been patched in iOS devices rolling out as of this week.

In case you don’t already know, the current version of Redsn0w uses Geohot’s bootrom based Limera1n exploit to jailbreak all current iOS devices on the latest firmware. Since Limera1n exploit exists in the hardware, only a hardware revision from Apple could have patched it. And if Jack’s findings are true, Apple might have patched it in the new stock of iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4G and Apple TV 2G.

Here is the complete story:

I made a trip to the Apple Store today to get an iPad for my old lady (Christmas present). She told me she’d love it jailbroken, so I sat down in front of my computer to redsn0w this 4.2.1 iPad.
One problem–redsn0w 0.9.6b6 could not upload a pwned iBSS (hanged at the white screen on OS X, upload timed out and rebooted into jailed state with Windows).
Furthermore, the device constantly stalls when attempting to dump its bootrom. This leads me to believe the injection vector used via USB has been patched in DFU mode.
Case in point: Any iOS device with a serial number xx050 (this week) or higher might be unable to be jailbroken via the limera1n exploit. Slightly older devices may be invulnerable as well.

So if your new iOS device comes with serial number xx050, there is a high chance that Limera1n is already patched on this device and you may not be able to jailbreak it with current jailbreak tools.

Again, we are not sure if this is indeed the case. Hopefully someone from the Dev-Team will soon shed some light on this. [Thanks to Jack for the hat tip via Twitter]

Save SHSH Blobs Directly from Your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch with iSHSHit

iSHSHit is a new Cydia utility that allows you to save SHSH blobs directly from your iphone, iPod touch or iPad itself, without the need to use a desktop application such as TinyUmbrella.

This new Cydia tweak is pretty simple to use. Basically, you just make sure that the information you want saved are correct and press save. It should prompt you by downloading the SHSHs. What iSHSHit basically does next is that is opens up to a new mail page sending the attachments to any e-mail account you want.

Technically, once you press save, the SHSH blobs are already saved, but you can also send them via email to another inbox for more permanent keeping, cool, eh?

iSHSHit is a free Cydia tweak and you need a jailbroken device to install this app so you can follow our guide posted here to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 or use Limera1n for iOS 4.1 jailbreak. I really recommend this app to save your SHSH blobs since is convenient, fast, and easy! I'm sure saving SHSH blos won't consume too much time out of your day. All it takes is 3 seconds! Who knows, maybe if your device's firmware corrupts, you can restore to the same firmware and keep your jailbreak. This is a must have for any jailbreaker.

Graviboard Released ! Give your Springboard Icons Gravity Style !

In our last post, we told you that GraviBoard will bring Gravity to your iOS device, and here we go. Ever wanted to let your apps float on your springboard? Now you can with the new release of Graviboard. Graviboard is a Cydia tweak that allows your apps to float in different sets of gravity. The preset ones are Earth, Moon, and Zero Gravity. Graviboard also comes with a custom gravity so you can set the gravity to your liking.

This tweak is for users who are looking for a little bit more fun out of their springboard. To use Graviboard, just go to settings and change the toggles on target="_blank"and off. You can even set a toggle via activator.

Graviboard for now is a pretty simple jailbreak tweak. There aren't that many features yet, but I'm sure it will expand and continue to update for more features. Some of the cons of Graviboard is that you cannot keep the apps with no gravity on when you launch apps. This is also limited because you cannot apply Graviboard to folders and scroll to other pages.

To enjoy this tweak, you need a jailbroken iOS device, you can use our guide posted here to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 or use Limera1n for iOS 4.1 jailbreak. Graviboard is available in Cydia for $2.99 via BigBoss repository, believe me, it's awesome!

Viber for iPhone Brings FREE Unlimited Phone Calls to Rival Skype's App

Skype developers should worry starting from now as it has new competition on the iPhone platform thanks to Viber, a new VoIP app that allows you to make unlimited free calls to other iPhone users over Wifi and 3G connections. The app is totally free, runs in the background without draining your battery, doesn’t have any ads and won’t charge you anything to make calls.

Everyone who have an iPhone should go ahead and install this app right now. When you install Viber on your iPhone, the app syncs your device’s contact list and shows you which of your friends are also using Viber so you can make free calls to them from your iPhone, regardless of the model you use, no user registration required (not as Skype!).

Viber uses Apple’s push notifications to receive calls even when closed, by clicking “Answer” on the resulting alert opens the app and connects the call.

Here's other good news TechCrunch reporting for Android users, the company is currently working on developing a similar app for Android users and aims to release it in the first quarter of 2011. Viber will also introduce free text messaging between its users the same as HeyWire.

What're you waiting for? Just head over app store (iTunes link), install it then tell your friends to do the same. I doubt I’ll be using Skype for iPhone again. Anyone else will go with me?

ScrollingBoard Tweaks Your iOS Folders [Jailbreak App]

In case you are an iOS user, you may jailbreak your device to get the ability to tweak your folders and add some functions that Apple missed to do. Most of users use InfiniFolders or FolderEnhancer for unlimited folders on iOS 4 and InfiniDock for unlimited icons in the dock. However, with ScrollingBoard, you'll get both functions in one tweak with a better price! 

Not only that, using this tweak you can have endless icons in the dock & folders; add new controls to the iPod touch; add the volume slider & brightness; add any add-on & widgets to the dock; get AirPlay icon in the dock and also you can use the scrollview mode. To be able to use this tweak, your device must be jailbroken, use our guide posted here to jailbreak your device on iOS 4.2.1, or Limera1n jailbreak on iOS 4.1 device.

Once your device is jailbroken, tap on Cydia and search for ScrollingBoard under BigBoss repository. The tweak is available for $1.49 only. [via iPhoneItalia]

This App Turns Your iPhone into a Radar Gun [REVIEW]

SpeedClock is a new app available in the app store that turns your iPhone into radar gun. Even though SpeedClock may be a useful tool, there could also be an accuracy issue in the app because of the estimation of distance the user must estimate. There is also possibly a greater accuracy issue for the iPhone 3GS becuase it doesnt have the gyroscope feature like the 4th Generation iDevices.

Despite SpeedClock's accuracy issue, in time it is probably going to improve and expand on it's goal. Here is the information from the developers of SpeedClock gave us from the press conference:

Employing the device’s three-axis gyro and basic trigonometry establishes distance. Speed and laps are measured using the motion sensing of the video camera, timing the interval between the object entering and leaving the frame. The app is compatible with iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, and iPod touch 4.

Speed Clock also has many other features including a speedometer, a timer, and a distance tool. The speedometer feature is basically meaasuring the speed of a moving object. It basically uses the camera to capture the speed of the moving object. Fortunately, this app comes with settings to set what speed to record it in and also the sensitivity according to your surroundings which improves the accuracy.

Another feature included in Speedclock is the timer. The timer also uses a motion sensor to detect when you start. This is extremely useful for anyone that takes track or any other activity that requires to job laps.

The last tool in SpeedClock is the distance tool. This helps the user know how much to stand back when using the speedometer feature. The app basically measures the iDevice's angle it is held in and the view it is seeing. This helps to determine how much of the scene the iDevice is viewing and how far away. This can then be used with the speedometer feature.

In conclusion, this app is extremely useful. Even though there could be some accuracy distortion, this app is brilliant for a brand new release. For just $0.99, this is definitely worth the investment!

Pull to Refresh Finally Comes to the Mail App [Jailbreak App]

As most of you know, the mail app on your iOS device requires you to go back to the main screen of the app just to press the refresh button. With the help of a new Cydia tweak, you can refresh your mail from anywhere in the app. Just like always, anything that uses system changes requires a jailbreak and Cydia.

To be able to use this tweak, you need a jailbroken device, you can jailbreak your iOS 4.x device using the latest version of Redsn0w by following our guide posted here then simply follow the steps given below.

This Cydia tweak, called Pull to Refresh for Mail, is free in Cydia under BigBoss repository. This very neat little tweak lets you drag your finger down your device screen to refresh your inboxes. This is similar to the feature in the Facebook and Twitter apps. Overall, this tweak is very useful and can overall save you the work of going back to the refresh button everytime you need to check for new mail.

AirVideoEnabler Brings AirPlay To All Of Your Apps [VIDEO]

An iPhone developer named Zone-MR created a hack which enables enable video streaming from your iPhone / iPad / iPod touch to Apple TV 2G using any third party apps, such as Safari.

iOS 4.2.1 Compatible Cydia Apps

Everybody’s loving iOS 4.2 for iPad: it brought multitasking to the tablet, folders, AirPlay (sort of) and, ehm, AirPrint. We have already talked about this. As more users upgrade to the new iOS every day and jailbreak it using the latest version of Redsn0w, they need really a list of compatible Cydia apps and tweaks.

MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has published a spreadsheet on Google Doc showing the compatible Cydia apps, you can navigate to this link to check the list of apps & tweaks in Cydia compatible with iOS 4.2.1. If the color is green that means it works with no problems, if it's yellow it means that it have some problems. Any you know, red ones are unusable and not working. The list should be upgraded consequently when an app gets iOS 4.2.1 compatibility.

Install Cracked Apps on iOS 4.2.1 with AppSync 4.2

The most popular tweak in Cydia, AppSync is now available for iOS 4.2.1. It lets you install cracked apps on iOS 4.2.1 firmware by patching the MobileInstallation file on iOS 4.2.1. Once you have installed AppSync iOS 4.2 on your iDevice running jailbroken iOS 4.2.1, you’ll be able to install cracked apps (.IPA) on your iDevice without using iTunes.

Your device must be jailbroken on iOS 4.2.1, use our guide posted here to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 devices with the latest version of Redsn0w then tap to Cydia and add http://cydia.hackulo.us as a source then search for AppSynce for iOS 4.2 and install it.

Disclaimer: Use it at your own risk. We cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong. We also encourage you to BUY apps from the iTunes Store.

White Cydia Icon and Safari Crashing When Using Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 to Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1?

After releasing iOS 4.2.1, the dev-team updated redsn0w to version 0.9.6b4 to jailbreak iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPod touch 4G, 3G, 2G and iPad, I received many comments complaining about white Cydia icon and Safari crashing after jailbreaking their devices.

Therefore, dev-team has sent a new blog post update while the concept of a “tethered” jailbreak is pretty new to many people, let's check out this:

The notion of a “tethered” jailbreak is pretty new to many people, so here’s a quick rundown on what to expect:

1. If you’re on an iPhone3G, old-bootrom iPhone3GS, or non-MC ipt2g, life is easy. redsn0w installed an untethered jailbreak and so nothing below applies.
2. “Tethered” does not mean you cannot boot at all without PC/Mac assistance. If you have not installed any tweaks that hook into important programs like SpringBoard or CommCenter, your device will actually boot. However, jailbreak programs like Cydia won’t work (and Cydia may still have a white icon). Also, certain built-in apps that had to be moved by Cydia will fail (Safari being the most noticeable example).
3. If you’ve installed MobileSubstrate tweaks that hook into SpringBoard or other important programs, your boot will actually fail (you’ll get stuck at the Apple logo). You need to use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered right now”.

Remember, @comex and others are working on a way to untether the 4.2.1 jailbreak. Meanwhile, the above 3 points hopefully will make it all seem less confusing :)

You can avoid the reasons above to enjoy a jailbreak free of bugs (i.e. White Cydia Icon and/or Safari Crashing), but I highly recommend to wait for the comex untethered jailbreak on 4.2.1 which expected to be very professional (still no ETA). Let me know if you still facing these bugs or not via the comment section, stay tuned.

HOW TO: Save and Reinstall A List of Your Cydia Apps

In case you upgraded your device to a newer version of iOS and want to keep your Cydia apps, themes, tweaks, package and etc from losing, here's a few simple steps to save your Cydia apps list and reinstall it again to your device.

Save your Cydia apps:

• Open Mobile Terminal (you can get it from Cydia)
• Enter this command:  "dpkg-get-selections> installed-apps.txt"
• Now we have created the Cydia app list file which called "installed-apps.txt" in " / var / mobile "
• You are done, use your favorite SFTP client (Cyberduck (Mac OS X) or WinSCP (Windows) to SHH into your device).

Reinstalling your Cydia apps again:
Now I will submit the file called "installed-apps.txt" to "/ var / mobile", after reinstalling Cydia and Terminal, type this commands:

• "su"
• Type your password (default password: alpine)
• "dpkg-set-selections "
• "apt-get dselect-upgrade"
• If you found problems type this command: "apt-get dselect-fix-missing-upgrade"
• Now Cydia will automatically reinstall all your packages.
