Iphone Wallpapers Resized and Ready

December 28, 2008

Usually when you are looking for a wallpaper for your iphone you find that most of them need to be resized and some of them cut off the parts you want or do not look correct. I made 50 wallpapers for the iphone that I wanted to share with all of you. They are resized so when you save them they will fit the screen correctly. Below are the instructions you will need to use the images.

One last thing I wanted to mention is that if your iphone is Jailbroken, and you have Winterboard installed from Cydia. Then you can turn on “User Lock Background” and “User Wallpaper” so that the images will appear not only on your lock screen but as the background when you see all the icons. If your iphone is not jailbroken then the images will only appear on the lock screen. Hope you enjoy the images.

In order to use the images simply open your iphone to this page and click on the image, when the image appears in a another page by itself it will then appear as a small image to the left, it is now at full size. Put your finger on it and hold it down until the iphone ask you if you want to save the image. The image will then be saved to your camera roll where you can use it as a wallpaper or when you sync with your computer it will also be added to your pictures that you currently have in your library of images for your iphone.

You can also save these images to your computer and put them in a folder that will sync to your iphone. When you sync the iphone with your computer then the images will appear in your library so you can use them as wallpaper.

This will only work with versions 2.1 or 2.2 on the iphone.

Open .dat Files easily

December 24, 2008

If you have received an e-mail with an attachment winmail.dat or any .dat extension, you probably have not been able to open it since windows does not know what program to use with this extension.

I found this great little free utility that will read .dat files and show you what are the attachments in them. You see .dat files can contain videos, pictures, word documents, and many other types of attachments. Below I put the link so you can download the winmail utility that will help you with this problem.

CLICK TO DOWNLOAD: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmezyyymlmi/winmail_opener.exe

Winmail Opener is a small and simple utility that allows you to view and extract contents of TNEF-encoded messages (infamous winmail.dat). That means if you receive winmail.dat on your e-mail, with Winmail Opener you can view the rich text message contents and attachments embedded into this file.

You may receive winmail.dat files from the senders who are using Microsoft Outlook (97, 2000). Winmail.dat contains all attachments and rich text message, and not all e-mail clients can recognize its format. Winmail Opener is the solution.

Winmail Opener features

Winmail Opener is absolutely free - no nag screens, no ads, no spyware, no time limit.
Supports RTF message text extraction.
You can drag-and-drop TNEF-encoded files into Winmail Opener for opening them.
You can drag-and-drop decoded attachments from Winmail Opener to any location for saving them.
Allows to operate with embedded attachments via standard system popup menu (Open, Open with, Copy, etc.)
Supports command line mode for batch decoding.
Multilingual interface.
The executable has small size and low system requirements.

Update! Jailbreak iphone 2.2 version

November 22, 2008

Wow!, the dev team has come out already with the Jailbreak for version 2.2. If you upgraded to version 2.2 and would like to jailbreak it then below I put the link for QUICKPWM for Windows and Mac to help you do this.

I had posted earlier how to downgrade from version 2.2 to 2.1 and I just checked and now the new Jailbreak is available. Hope this helps

The dev team has just updated their post with the following note:

NOTE: ‘Simple Mode’ in PwnageTool currently only works for the iPod Touch. To use PwnageTool for iPhones you will need to use ‘Expert mode’. This is a workaround while we make an update and fix this issue. In order to do this you will need to navigate to the ‘General’ window and change two things: Deselect ‘activate’ ONLY if you are normally able to activate through iTunes (but if you wish to ‘hacktivate’ the iPhone using PwnageTool then leave it selected). You will also need to change the partition size to about 1000MB (type in the value or use the slider).
‘Hactivate’ means to activate the iPhone yourself without Apple. This is used if you live outside an officially supported region and cannot activate the phone using iTunes.

While apple release the iphone update 2.2, you may want to hold on until you see there are no bugs. For those of you, like me, that update to the new version but would like to go back to 2.1. I put together a step by step video so you can do this, check the video below and let me know if it worked for you.

Once you are done it will bring the iphone back to version 2.1. You can use the latest version of itunes to do this. You will also need the 2.1 Firmware which is found below, and QuickPWN 2.1 so you can activate the 2.1 version once completed.

First download the 2.1 firmware by CLICKING HERE . Save it to a place you will remember then open iTunes, connect your iphone 3G and while pressing the shift key click on the restore button in iTunes. This will bring up a window that will let you look for the firmware you downloaded. You will also need QuickPWN which you can download by CLICKING HERE if the link fails try this one CLICKING HERE

This tutorial video below is for the iPhone 3G, but it will work for the 1st generation iPhone if you use the firmware below.
