Cydia Hack to play Movies and videos on Iphone

By

After a previous iStartup Sound, that allowed iPhone users to add custom sounds to their smartphone upon restart or respring, now a next step has been taken to allow full startup movies, audio and video to be used.
Vladislav Korotnev has come up with iStartupMovie, a curious tweak that works similar to the audio one, bringing a unique feature to your iPhone’s startup, making it look cool and original.  If you want to enjoy the new tweak, all you have to do is install iStartupMovie and a new app will be present on your Home screen. The app allows you to enable or disable the movies that can be found in the required iStartupMovie directory.

Once the movie is enabled, you have to respring the iPhone in order to showcase the video you have chosen. In case you want to test the app as soon as you install iStartupMovie, there are a couple of pattern films thrown in, to show you how it works. Don’t waste anymore time and try them all!
As suggested by the title, iStartupMovie would allow you to play movies or video clips on your device during startup or respring. Whenever you restart, or shutdown and turn on your iPhone, the video you have chosen will play before the SpringBoard displays on your iPhone.
You can put your .mov or .m4v files under /var/mobile/Library/StartupMovies and use the built-in manager app to select your movie file.
However, as much as we’d love to see this tweak is awesmoe, there is also a draw back with it. Once you have installed it, the respring or reboot time will be increased, depending on the size of the video. But, if you are the patient type and you wouldn’t mind waiting a bit for your iPhone to start, you will probably enjoy the new tweak.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...
