AndroidLock: Lock/Unlock your iPhone, Android Style

An Android phone features a unique lockscreen, where you have to connect various dots to unlock your phone rather than enter in a passcode or slide to unlock. There are 9 dots in total, and gives a little extra sercurity just incase your friend happens to look over while you punch in your numbered code.

Just released to Rock and Cydia, comes AndroidLock, available now for free. This iPhone and iPod tweak will transform your iPhone lockscreen into an Android styled lockscreen where you connect dots in the same manner to unlock your phone. Simply draw the pattern to unlock. 
After installing it, go to Settings > AndroidLock, to set the pattern. Requires 4 or more dots to be used.

LED Flash coming to the iPhone??

Coupled with the likely prospect of Apple bumping up the iPhone camera to 5 megapixels, it seems Cupertino hasn't forgotten about the iPhone amidst all the attention directed toward the tablet. And for now at least it appears the next generation iPhone could offer a host of advanced photography tools. But with Apple reportedly seeking "tens of millions" of LEDs, it's a similarly safe assumption that the bump-up in photographic quality will also positively impact the iPhone video recording capabilities when shooting in poorly lit environments.

Introducing AppTrackr, Appulo.us official replacement

Greetings to everyone in the cracked apps scene! My name is TDDebug, and it's my pleasure to come forward today with some optimism and signs of progress. Today is a landmark.

What's with Appulous?

Appulous is the largest iPhone and iPod Touch application database in the entire world (except for iTunes, of course ;)) and has been the scene's number one source for over a year now. It was created by Kyek, who knew that the scene needed a large application database to ensure quality and organization.

However, due to Kyek's personal life becoming more and more hectic, he is unable to manage, optimize, develop, or scale Appulous to meet the demands of millions of users. The website has suffered from his inactivity, and has gotten extremely slow and periodically unavailable. This isn't just pissing off normal users, this is bothersome to crackers who find it difficult to make submissions to Appulous due to its slow speed.

What's the solution, then?

We can't just wait another half a year for things to get better like last time. After the introduction of the troll bridge, Appulous quality and speed has gotten so poor that we have been begged to solve this problem.

The solution: I have created a new website called apptrackr which will completely replace Appulous, which is shutting down soon. Apptrackr will inherit the Appulous database and be managed by not only myself but several designers and programmers from all-around!

Where to begin?

We need to ask ourselves the question: if we could redo Appulous, what would we change? There are many answers to this question that I can make as a software engineer, and there are a lot of suggestions that all of you could make in regards to the user experience. But one thing we can agree on is that the most important thing to improve is the speed of the website. Appulous is so slow now that users can barely ever submit applications. In order for apptrackr to succeed, we must do what Kyek has been unable to do recently and scale out the website. We need state of the art caching, a better static data distribution model, and heavy software optimization. This kind of stuff doesn't just happen overnight, though, and it will take a while to perfect. But so-far, I believe I've given it my best shot.

Other areas of improvement include management. Policy decisions (whitelist, budget) need to be managed properly and securely. For this reason, policy decisions will be left to an advisory committee which contains many responsible and well-known figures in the scene. Aside from this, we need transparency and continuous progress.

Additionally, we need to focus on functionality. We need a working API, a faster and more optimized mobile website, and to leave room for improvement in the future. Not just plans, but implementations.

As an added bonus, we need to improve the user experience and graphical quality of the website significantly.



It does everything Appulous does, and more!

All of Appulous' core functionality has been replicated in apptrackr, but not copied. I have created my own iTunes scraper which is compatible with all iTunes stores, while Appulous only supports the US store. Our application database has been populated with information that Appulous has extracted for well over a year now. There are also some subtle changes here and there which differ significantly from Appulous. These changes were made to improve the user experience and/or make deployment easier.

In order for Apptrackr to scale out, it must scale out static content. Therefore, our submission system has a built in queue system which processes new submissions within a minute or two, and will distribute content like screenshots and app icons to the appropriate servers. This allows us to, later, add automated link analysis and moderation.

The user experience is a lot better.

Apptrackr has an improved template which makes it easier and nicer to browse and search for applications. It uses as much AJAX as possible to ensure efficiency, and content changes in quick fade-ins and fade-outs. You will now see never-before-seen (outside of staff and a select few) screenshots of apptrackr. Click on a thumbnail to see a full-sized image.









Highlights of the user interface

1. Ajax is used for almost all operations, making the website more responsive and faster. Javascript will render and construct the page instead of our server.
2. App icons are fully rounded instead of being sometimes rectangular and ugly (like on Appulous).
3. Screenshots are viewed in a small frame which can be navigated with buttons. The screenshots will fade/slide in from each other.
4. Categories and sorting options are easy to access and manipulate.
5. Search is easy to operate.
6. Default options on submission are tailored for mass-submission.

When is apptrackr being released?

Apptrackr beta is online now, but only our Advancements, Developers, Moderators, and Staff can use it. More information can be found here. Want to be an advancements user? Donate! (proceeds go to apptrackr, obviously)

Apptrackr isn't done yet and can't be fully released until it is. We still need to make an API, a mobile template, and add usergroup specific functionality (like, for example, moderator tools). We may still touch up several things with the interface, optimize components, and much more. We should be able to finish all of that and release apptrackr to replace Appulous this month (if all goes well).

Thanks to Fusen over on Xsellize for the heads up.

Facebook 3.1 now with Push

Facebook 3.1 with Push

While the 3.0 version of Facebook’s app was great, probably one of the best iPhone apps out there, it, like many other iPhone apps, was only useful when it was actively being used. That is because Apple obviously doesn’t allow third-party apps to run in the background. Sure, the app could be badged with a number when you had new messages, but it didn’t have true notifications.

But with full Push Notification support, the app gets a lot more useful as you can now get notified with a pop-up message or sound when friends do things like comment on your Wall or tag photos of you. This allows you to more passively interact with your Facebook data and jump in to the app only when you want to actively see or respond to something.

A number of other third-party apps actually offered Facebook notification functionality, notably Boxcar (a favorite of mine), but this native support allows for a more tailored experience. For example, you can set notifications for Messages, Wall Posts, Friend Requests, Friend Confirmations, Photo Tags, Events, and Comments with the app.

And Push Notifications aren’t the only new feature of 3.1. There is also a new way to sync your Facebook friends with your iPhone’s address book. This includes replacing contact photos. Pretty nifty.

I have noticed that it is not yet updated on the app store so what i did was delete my facebook app and reinstall it and even though it doesnt say 3.1 it installs it anyway. you ll know because once you open the app it'll ask if you want to set the push notifications on settings.

How to make your own custom ringtones for your iPhone using iTunes.

Free Custom Ringtones for iPhone

Using iTunes (vista)

Don't buy ringtones from iTunes why not just make your own?

Its really easy to do and best of all its FREE!!!

You can make as many ringtones as you like and then assign them to whoever you like.

Details:

- Open iTunes, make sure you have the newest updated version
- Connect your iPhone and make sure iTunes recognizes it
- Under the library section, click "Music"

- Find a song you want as a ringtone
- Figure out what portion of the song you want as a ringtone... what I mean by this is whether you want the song to start at 2:44 and end at 3:20 (minute/seconds), or start at 0:00 and end at 0:32.

- Right click the song, click "get info", then click the "options" tab
- Put a check mark in the boxes labelled "start" and "stop"
- WRITE DOWN THE START TIME, AND STOP TIME currently in the boxes
- In the box next to "Start", change the start time to whatever you want
- In the box next to "Stop", change the stop time to whatever you want
- Click the "ok" button at the bottom of that window

- Right click the song again, click "Convert selection to AAC". This will make a copy of the song, but only the section of the song you specified from start to stop. When itunes finishes converting the song, which only takes about 30 seconds or less, right click the initial song again and click "get info" again. You will need to click the options tab and change the start and stop time back to what it was originally to make sure the song still plays all the way through. You can see which song is the original, and which song is the ringtone by looking at the song length in iTunes.

- Then, right click the newly created ringtone song in iTunes (right below the original song). Then, click "Show in windows explorer". This will open a new window with the ringtone song in it.

- Right click the new song in the windows explorer window, and click rename. Change the file extension from M4a to M4r. This is what makes it a ringtone.
(If you can't see the file extension, make sure you have windows set to show file extensions, Google is your friend).

- Now, go back to iTunes and click "Ringtones" under the library section. Then, left click on the song in the windows explorer window and hold it down, and then drag the song over to the Ringtones folder of iTunes.

You are finished creating your ringtone. All you need to do is sync up your iPhone or iPhone3g with iTunes and that's it.
