Cui – On My Way

I followed George’s wonderful post here to make it done.

And after the soft-upgrade, again, with help from George on iCosta installation,  and  some 3rd-party app fixes, i should say my iphone is ready to go.

Besides, George has so many valuable posts there on his blog. So if you wanna do some iphone hackings like me, i strongly recommend to subscribe his blog and check often.

So for now, I have a fully functional(except Google Maps’ Locate me) iphone in firmware 1.1.3 and unlocked bb 04.02.13_G 

If you are in iphone firmware 1.1.2 and wanna re-arrange the icons of springboard via Customize, you may find you can’t for now, ‘coz Customize will crash at the booting spicychicken screen. There’s a lot of bugs reporting this as well.

Actually it’s a permission issue, just set the executable’s permission to 4755 will fix it. You can make it either by WinSCP or other terminal client like Putty. As to the latter, here’s the command line:

chmod 4755 /Applications/Customize.app/Customize

If still failed, try a reset or reboot.

1. Newly added ‘Add subscription’
See screenshots above. By clicking that link, you will be navigated to the feed discovering page, where you can easily search and add more subscriptions you like.

2. clicking ‘See original’ will Open a new browser window
See the picture below for the page where the ‘See original’ link is.

It’s a much more browsing-friendly than before while opening the link in the same window. You will know it if you read news via feeds every day like me.

Believe it or not, iPhone 1.1.3 firmware just released three days ago has been hardware unlocked!!

Photo by the unlock team.

TOTALLY UNBELIVABLE!!

It’s said that unlocking process is very complicated, totally different from the software unlocking, and it’s not for normal users, so it won’t be open to the public.

However, there’s an old saying: if winter passed already, then spring is not far away, right? 

I know it’s built-in feature in WP 2.3.1. However, due to i haven’t direct control on the server where my site is hosted in, this plan has to be postponed.

Until tonight i found this very valuable article. Exactly what i wannt: no loss to the traffic and smoothly upgrade to the more SEO-ed url pattern by redirecting.

Cool!

1. icosta 1.0.3 released, which will be working under ff 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.

great progress, icosta team!
I haven’t got a chance to try it out yet.and i’m now considering to upgrade my iphone to 1.1.1 later.

2. screenshot – capture your iphone’s screen freely.

I just happened to get this utility. It’s very nice and now has won a fixed position on my iphone’s springboard.

3. google’s new homepage for iphone.

very nice. the best part for me is google reader. Now i use it every day to read the news when i’m on the way to office or back home.

4. open-sourced anysim by dev team

To be honest, actually considering the quality issue of the following to-be-public hacking tools based on it, i’m not one of those who’d love to make it open, even if i’m one of those who’s looking forward to the next anySim 1.1.3 miracle

One of my friends has been asking me for a way of how to forward an individual SMS on iPhone. After some googling, I’ve got this: iphone-smsd.

The easiest installation is by Installer.app. Actually you can find it in Utilities->SMSD.

The UI is pretty straightforward, so give it a try.

Of course, if you just like it as I do, please join me to say thanks to the author.

Here’s what it looks like:

Update: Forwarded Chinese SMS cannot be displayed correctly, guess it’s Unicode issue. And currently the author is working on it. Looking forward to v0.09.

Update: Currently the most up-to-date version 0.0.9 has fixed the above issue.

Just got it one minute ago from delicious/popular. And i tried it immediately by making a call to my mobile number first, and then my office number.

Both worked! Wow!!

My testing computer is IBM T-40 with firefox 3.0 beta 1. For now, I’m so sorry safari doesn’t support flash, or I could use it on my iphone!!

I’ve talked Mobile Firefox before, and I’ve been using Safari on my iPhone for a while.
And in my perspective, a full web browsing experience in the relatively small-sized screen mobile phone is well worth of a try anyway, esp for those whose phones could support kinda of installations.

Now it’s time. Opera Mini 4 is free to download.

I don have such a phone to try out. So if you do, don forget to share what you feel about it.

P.S. I do love this picture from Opera site.

Several enhancements(news and pictures are both from the dev source site):

1. Keyboard layout fine tuned;

2. Related-Second character(联想) automatically displayed;

3. Wubi input method;

4. Landscape input mode;

5. Display the shift key correctly;

6. Tap space to enter the first related-second character;

7. Fix the unexpected shut down by disable auto-correction.
