iFuntastic all growed up, hits version 3

by Chris Ziegler posted Aug 30th 2007 @ 1:50PM

The ubiquitous iPhone-hacking-for-dummies utility, iFuntastic (that's not an insult, by the way; we use it ourselves), has come out of the gates in its third major iteration today. This stands in sharp contrast to Apple's efforts, which have yielded two super-minor firmware updates for the iPhone since its launch, but we digress. Anyway, iFuntastic v3 adds support for PowerPC G4 and G5-based systems, home screen editing with custom wallpaper, a new jailbreaking technique called "unshackling," and improved custom ringtone support. As of this writing iPhoneAlley appears to be down -- likely due to a deluge of downloads, we suspect -- but there are other joints around the 'nets where you can grab the goodness. As always, our two disclaimers get slapped on this one: user beware, and enjoy!

iFuntastic 2.0 enables mortals to mod their iPhone

If you were enthralled by the sound of what the Dev Wiki crowd was cookin' up, yet you just couldn't understand the majority of what they were telling you, you're in luck. bitSplit, the man that brought you iFuntastic, has released version 2.0 of the software, which goes the extra mile and enables mere mortals (read: folks who aren't down with code speak) to "add ringtones, change the carrier logo, and reorder their iPhone applications." Best of all, this here software is completely free to use, but unless you've got an Intel-based Mac, you won't get very far. So go on, tag the read link and see what fun awaits you.
