UnFolder: Free Cydia Tweak to Delete Entire Folder at Once

By

UnFolder is a brand new free Cydia tweak for iOS devices, that does exactly what its name suggests. It will pour out all the applications inside it and then delete the folder. You are of course not going to use this every day, but you might find it very handy the day you sit down to rearrange your iOS apps.
Currently, you need to manually drag each app out of the Folder one by one if you want to get rid of the folder. Unfolder, which has been created by @FilippoBiga, same guy who made another popular jailbreak utility called Slideaway, will be available to us as a free and open source hack.
I would have really liked this tweak even more if there was an option to delete the apps too instead of just deleting the folder. There’s a video demo of UnFolder included after the break.
We do not know what all Apple may have up its sleeve with theupcoming iOS 5 release, but we are definitely hoping to see some enhanced folder management and notifications in iOS 5.
Getting back to UnFolder, deleting a folder is as simple as deleting an app itself. Just put the icons into the jiggle mode and after installing UnFolder you’ll see a cross over every folder just like every app. As soon as you hit the cross button you’ll see a popup message confirming the delete operation like the one below.

Once you hit delete, all the contents of the folder that is the various iPhone applications, will be placed on the nearest empty space on the springboard. Usually it will be the same page or next page of your springboard depending on number of apps.
The people at ModMyI have also created a video demo of UnFolder.

How to Install UnFolder:

Since this is a Cydia application you will need a jailbroken iOS device obviously. Just launch Cydia and head over to the search tab and type unfolder. If you don’t see it already you might need to refresh your sources using the Changes tab.

You don’t need to add any extra repo. UnFolder is available via the ModMyI Repo. Just hit the Install button at the top and then restart your springboard after install to get UnFolder to work.
The tweak seems to work fine with all kind of applications be it bookmarks, app store applications or cydia applications.

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...
