The release of Firmware 2.2 enabled emoticons (emoji) exclusively for iPhones running on a Japanese network. Thankfully, all other iPhone users did not have to wait long for Erica Sadun to release a solution.

SwirlyMMS 1.2.15 Cracked (Patched)

Posted in Apps, MMS, News, Reviews by meebz. Published March 1st, 2009

XSellize Successfully Unlocks SwirlyMMS Version 1.2.15

Photobucket

SwirlyMMS is nothing short of a Goliath when it comes to providing multimedia messaging for the iPhone and iPhone 3G.

Apple has refused to release the all-to common and simple function over countless firmware updates, AT&T has refused to allow any iteration of MMS on Apple products opting instead to run a rumored, daily iPhone MMS disabling agent, and the AppStore has released apps that claim to have answered the demand of MMS for iPhone, but have dubiously fallen short in an unheralded fashion.

If you are desperate for MMS on your iPhone, SwirlyMMS is the only true MMS iPhone application. Unfortunately, there are a few drawbacks.

1. It can only be installed on a jailbroken iPhone (3G)
2. It will rarely work with AT&T*
3. The App is permanently linked to only one iPhone
(if you lose, replace or upgrade your iPhone, expect to repurchase this app)

As far as iPhone apps are concerned, SwirlyMMS is a giant among an army of mini-me’s, yet the practice of repurchasing the app is a questionable method to impose on its users; as an $8 price tag per license can add up.

The AppStore shines in the respect that it records your purchases, so if you were to lose, upgrade or replace your iPhone, you could re-download previously purchased apps for free.

SwirlyMMS is in a position to re-engage in the successful, yet rather underhanded marketing of A Tale of Two Cities. Charles Dickens first released the story in a weekly paper that was purchased, then as a collected works from the paper, then in a leather bound collection, essentially selling the same book to the same group of people three times.

There is also a school of thought that perhaps SwirlyMMS has not established a method of tracking purchasers and therefore is enacting a primitive method of purchasing and non-tracking.

If you find yourself in the position of having broken, lost or updated your iPhone and feel conflicted over repurchasing SwirlyMMS, XSellize and its talented iPhone dev team have released a working solution. The fortress that was SwirlyMMS has collapsed and you can now install SwirlyMMS without repurchasing or downloading a two week demo license.

Goliath meet David.

Lose the Faulty iPhone Spell Check

Sick of typing a word and having the less-than-brilliant iPhone auto-correction feature butcher it?

Well iClarified has created a solution in Cydia that nullifies the spell check feature.

The only setback, though, is that the double spacebar = a period function is also disabled.

3 Steps to a More Functional iPhone Typing

1. In Cydia (Go to Sections Tab –> Repositories Folder)

Photobucket

2. Install iClarified (You Can Also Manually Add It*)

Installous + iTunes: A Cat and Mouse Story

Posted in Apps, How-To by meebz. Published December 27th, 2008

“Being Able to Sync Hacked Apps Through iTunes Has Been Thwarted”

Photobucket

Notice that you are not able to sync your hacked apps through iTunes. You’re not the only one. It turns out the Apple would not like you to be able to back up your hacked apps.

Photobucket

If you turn on the iTunes sync option, iTunes will proceed to erase your hacked apps. Keep the option set to OFF and sync your iPhone as usual. If you do lose your apps, just go to the Downloads Tab and reinstall them.

Until a workaround is discovered you can back up and restore your apps through AppBackup in Cydia.
