Comex Does it again! Jail Breaks iPad 2 in 2 Days!

The jail break has not been packaged for the public yet. It also still has to be tested out. But you can expect it VERY soon!!!! It will be nice to have all my lovely little Cydia tweaks back in place!

"Don't Panic!" A new animated Wallpaper for iPhones

*Click the image to the right to see the animation*

Along the same lines as the animated boot logo for jail broken iPhone's that I mentioned last week.. I have made a version to use as your wallpaper on your iPhones, you iPod touches.. However, for it to be animated, you will have to be jail broken.

The reason being, Apple does not let you use an animated Gif file as a background. It will display it, but will not animate it. The end result is, you background is the first frame of the Gif file. When you phone is jail broken however, we are able to use an HTML file as the wallpaper... and let that HTML file call and open the Gif.

Too complicated? No worries. If your phone IS jail broken, you can open up Cydia and search for "dont panic wall" you will find it. If you are not jail broken, all is not lost! You can still use one of the non animated versions of this image if you want. I have a few over at Deviant Art.

At the time of posting, the package has not made it onto the Cydia servers yet. Give it until tomorrow.

Don't Panic Animated Boot Logo

Yesterday I made and released an animated boot logo for the iPhone 4. In order to use this, you MUST be jailbroken and you must have animate installed. Once installed, reboot your iphone and you will see your Apple, transform into the "Don't Panic" Smiley from "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Universe" by Douglas Adams.

Version 1.1 of my animated boot logo is already uploaded and awaiting approval. The animation is smoother, longer and has better color in the new version.

So go download greenpois0n, JB your iPhone and check this out at http://modmyi.com/info/dontpanicanimatedbootlogo.php

XBMC ported to AppleTV, iPad and other iDevices

Today is a joyous day indeed! The number one Media Center software suite has been ported to iDevices!! XBMC, or Xbox Media Center, as it was originally called, is in this blogger's opinion the best Media Center money can buy... And it is Free!!! This will be especially great on the AppleTV. It will make it the best $99 media computer you can buy!

 

As for how does it perform? Well, this is just the first version. With that said, it runs sluggish on my iPad and has some issues over all with functionality. I was unable to get it to connect to our media server, so I could play content across our network. However, knowing the XBMC team, this will just be a matter of time before it is working perfectly! It needs some polishing to work on the current A4 chips without all the lagging. I would recommend that you wait a couple of revisions before you actually try this out for mainstream usage. But if you want to see a great and mostly functional proof of concept, then hop on Cydia and give it a test!

Yes, that is right.. you DO have to be jail broken to enjoy this little morsel. However, as simple as it is to do anymore, why wouldn't you be jail broken?
