Amazing Jailbroken iPhone Apps
Apple’s legit App Store has many cool offerings, but jailbroken iDevices have a wide variety of creative and quirky apps. Access to Cydia (the “jailbroken” Appstore) is a huge motivation for jailbreaking your iPhone. There are many lists of great jailbreak apps to check out — here are a few standouts:
- MyWi: Turns iPhones into mobile hotspots without extra data charges.
- Intelliscreen: Puts facebook, e-mail, calendars on the home screen.
- FolderEnhacer: Tweak that allows complete customization of all the folders on your iDevice.
- My3G: Allows for previously Wi-Fi-only processes to run on 3G, like HD YouTube videos
- Winterboard: Allows custom themes to be applied to any iDevice.
Fast and Easy to Jailbreak One of the best parts about jailbreaking is how quick and easy it is. Using the PwnMyI GUI, anybody can find the appropriate guide for their iDevice. Once the appropriate guide is found, following the instruction is simple.
Fully Reversible & Doesn’t Void Warranty If you’re scared of the consequences of jailbreaking your iDevice or simply don’t like the experience, jailbreaking is fully reversible. It does not void the warranty of the device; however uninstalling the jailbreak is wise before approaching an Apple advisor. If you ever decide that you want to remove your jailbreak, just connect your device to your computer, sync, and then press Restore in iTunes.
FaceTime (Video Chat) over 3G FaceTime is a nifty new feature of the iPhone 4, but it currently only works over a Wi-Fi network, which may be difficult to find in many situations. Jailbreaking the iPhone 4 allows for FaceTime to work over a 3G connection. The results are a littel less quality then Wi-Fi, but it’s more convenient and won’t be interrupted if you have a good signal or walk out of Wi-Fi range.
Ability to theme your iDevice One of the most unique features of jailbreaking is that it allows the ability to re-theme the way the device looks. Whether you want to make your own theme or download one of the thousands of themes available in Cydia, themeing the device is one of the most popular reasons why people jailbreak.
