How to find and download IPA/App Store Apps freely ?
Note: An IPA is a cracked app coming from Apple’s App Store. Needless to mention that your iPhone has to be jailbroken.
Prerequisites:
Your iPhone should have AppSync mod pre-installed. For this you need to launch Cydia and search for Installous app. Install that and you will be ready to install IPA’s from your desktop or from the installous app. If you are not able to find Installous in Cydia, add this Apptrackr repo http://repo.beyouriphone.com into Cydia’s Manage Sources section.
You need to either launch Installous app and look for apps and install it directly. If you want to download apps to your computer and then push it to your iPhone, here is the process
If you are not able to FaceTime video chat or MMS after jailbreaking your iPhone 4 with JailbreakMe.com, here is the simple fix. JailbreakMe.com has been updated to autofix this earlier issue where iPhone 4 jailbroken phones were not able to FaceTime or MMS.
If you are doing a fresh jailbreak, you will not have any of these issues. Existing users will need to do a “Complete Upgrade” of Cydia followed by a reset of Network Settings. To do this, simply launch Cydia and let the loading to finish. It will now automatically ask you to update Cydia. Touch on “Complete Upgrade” and reboot the device once it is done. Go to Settings –> General –> Reset –> Reset Network Settings. Reboot the device again. The problem should be fixed now.
And if you are stuck on purple-colored space screen of JailbreakMe? Check this post or follow the below instructions:
- You need to go to Settings > Safari > Clear History, Clear Cookies, Clear Cache
- And then Reboot your iPhone
There is this unhappy iPhone user named adamburtle who has shared this youtube video. Each one of you iPhone 3G users who have upgraded to iOS must watch. 80%-90% of users would right away relate to this video:

I am not too sure if this method works with all types of SIM cards. But of late, I have been getting quite a few mails asking if cutting up a regular SIM would successfully work as a micro SIM. This method was first published by techradar.com:
A traditional SIM measure 15 x 25mm and have that angled corner. The new micro-SIM is officially 12 x 15mm. That’s effectively the size of just the normal SIM contact area.
How to turn your traditional SIM into micro SIM:
1. Here’s a traditional SIM and its measurements, the only working area is the metal contacts.
Picture characters that are used for text messaging are very popular in Japan and these picture characters are called Emoji icons. They made a disappearing act with the release of iPhone iOS 4. The good news for all the Emoji users is that they are back on iOS 4. Follow the steps to use Emoji icons.
Look for “Emoji Free” app in the App store and install it.
Launch it and click the “ok, lets do this!”
Next go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboard > Add New Keyboard
With Apple having microSIM slot on the iPad, it surprised everyone and left all wondering if at all their normal SIM could do the trick somehow and fit into the iPad’s SIM slot. Very soon the 3G version of the iPad will ship across the world and everyone will try to find someway of getting their SIM fit the micro SIM slot of the iPad. Inface after Gizmodo leaked the iPhone HD/4G last week, people might be wondering why Apple is pushing for microSIM slot for this iPhone HD version too.
It would be really difficult for the mobile industry to move to the new standard quickly. Till then we might have to take a little risk to get our normal SIM work both ways . Yes there is a way to convert your normal SIM into a microSIM. You might have to be a little careful though. OnlyGizmos has shared this trick for all of us – You can easily (ok with some precision) cut down your existing SIM to trim it for a Micro SIM slot.

This tip will help you easily read almost any kind of website on your iPhone safari. Found this on Mac OS X Hints. There are times when a web site is formatted poorly, and it is just too difficult to read comfortably on the iPhone, right? There is this really simple and cool bookmarket called Readability, that will reformat any website, making it real easy for you to read on the iPhone.
You’ll need either an iPhone or iPod Touch and a computer that you sync your device to via USB or MobileMe. From a computer, navigate to Readability and set your desired options. I like Inverse, Extra Large text, and Extra Narrow margins, but pick what you like. Drag your bookmarklet to your bookmark bar, as the site instructs. (You can move it to your Bookmarks menu, anywhere, or into the sidebar of Safari’s Bookmark organization, so it’ll be one of the first items you see on your iPhone’s bookmarks).
You should be able to set this up directly on the iPhone/iPod touch. Check out Readability for instructions.
There is this FREE utility tool called iPhone Explorer which cna easily turn your iPhone or iPod into a flash drive. Note that you dont have to jailbreak your iPhone/iPod. This method is perfectly legal, notes CNET. Basically, iPhone Explorer provides a drag-and-drop interface for the contents of your device. Its available for both Windows and Mac.
Before you download it, a word of warning: This is not a tool for novices. The first time you run iPhone Explorer, a decidedly confusing pop-up asks which root directory you want.
And playing around with the files and folders on your device could cause unintended problems.
This one works with iPhone users who love listing to postcasts but dont like waiting for those huge files to download. Found this tip on Macosxhints.
Go to iTunes on your Mac/PC, look up the podcast you want to bookmark in the store.
Right next to the Subscribe button is a down arrow; click that and choose Copy Link.
Paste this link into an email addressed to the account you access on your iPhone (or any other method for getting text snippets from your computer to your iPhone). Send a bunch of links in one email and save time.
Open the email on your iPhone. A long press on the link pops up the option to copy it.
Open Mobile Safari and bookmark whatever page is showing. (It doesn’t matter what it is; we end up editing it anyway.)
Go to the Bookmark menu, find the bookmark you just made, and tap Edit. Change the name to the name of the podcast, clear the old URL, and paste the link in the URL field.
That’s it! That link will now take you straight to the iTunes app to download the newest podcast without searching or retyping.
