Creating custom Iphone Ringtones using Phone Zap

I asked friends on my facebook and twitter what they want to know how to do on their IPhone’s A friend of mine wanted to know how to get ringtones on his IPhone.

phonezap

Since he doesn’t have a Jailbroken Iphone i’m not too much help to him so hopefully your phone is jailbroken if your reading this.

Ok Here’s the step-by-step:

1. Go into Cydia and search for “Phonezap” all one word.

2. Once you’ve found phonezap in cydia, install it and open it up.

3. Once you’ve opened phone zap Sign in or register a new account.

4. Once you’ve signed in or made an account go to ringtones at the bottom.

5. In this section you’ll see all of the default Iphone ringtones and some you may have picked up from cydia

6. Click Create

7. Next you’ll be taken to your music library select a song.

8. Once you have picked a song pick where you want the ringtone to begin and end,test and start jammin when people call you!

**Now this is one of many ways of making or creating custom ringtones, there are ways of uploading them certain directories but this way makes it easier for the average user.**

Thanks!

Ashton Kutcher leading the Internet “Social Media” Revolution.

As a Twitter user I was quickly a follower of @aplusk or Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter account. Ashton posts all kinds of funny and sometimes meaningful links. And also thoughts on current subjects and events. He also has a UStream Account where all kinds of videos can be found of him testing and using the technology.

Ashton Uses his IPhone as his main weapon of communication as it seems, Jailbreaking it and adding apps like Qik, and Ustream broadcaster(can be found in cydia) to post videos of any subject any time, straight to the web.

may8astoninternethat

Now lot’s of people communicate on Twitter but Ashton Kutcher is a celebrity and his word can be much more powerful and wide spread, and I believe he is using this in the right way.

Ashton has challenged media to take the next step toward social media, Ashton’s proves this is the future by socially interacting with twitter users. On the internet you can see the material you want to see and control the way you take in all of the content.

Ashton has even taken his Twitter addiction to Larry King Live, Teaching even one of the most technologically stubborn men in America how to user twitter! Ashton has a great vision and I hope to see more Celebs online interacting with the people that make them the money.

Ashton’s Account’s:

Iphone Game Developer makes real big money, With good Appstore marketing

Until the appstore there were very few ways an independent coder could get out there and start making big money.

developer

Ethan Nicholas, Developer of Ishoot (one of my faves) has reportedly made well over a half million dollars and saw over $37,000 in his first day.

I feel his success is based on two things:

1. It’s a great little portable game

2. He took the time to create a lite version that was downloaded over 2million times, turning out over 300,000 satisfied players that in return purchased the game.

First off i’d like to say cheers for your clever marketing and giving people a chance to test the game out.

ishootscreenie

As a mini-review I give Ishoot a 4/5 only because ive only played the lite version, however from that i could tell the game is highly addictive, and has lots of different weapons to choose from such as stinger missles that fire one after another, or a cluster bomb that breaks apart in mid-air. The controls are pretty easy to get used to and each round you progress you make more money having more chances to purchase different weapons.

Cheers for the great game and wonderful success!

New Iphone Location Service: Latitude

Hey everyone!
Love how your Iphone knows where you are?
Now let everyone else know to!
Now to some people (cheating husbands) this may not sound like such a good idea, but for busy body socialite types it sounds like the prefect way to keep keep track of where everyone is.

It features Gtalk integration so that you can keep your status updated with your location.

Its currently available for Black Berries but an IPhone version should be seen soon.

So keep two eyes open for this one!


App/tip of the day: custom springboard with widgets

Today i decided put up a quick tip
for a cool way to customize your springboard and add some widget like icons.

As per usual your iphone or ipod touch will have to be jailbroken to download theese apps.

First open Cydia and download:

LiveClock: Makes the clock on the home screen animated (also needs winterboard).

LiveWeather: Displays current weather ontop of the icon (Also needs winterboard)

IBlank: used to fill blank spaces on springboard to create custom springboard layouts.

With all of theese combined this is my result:

Here you can see where the blank icons are located.

Installing cracked apps or ipa’s on your iphone/ipod touch **Not Suggested**

Although I am against stealing apps for the iphone,
I am pissed they didn’t let me try all the apps i want before i buy them.
Because i have paid good money for apps i hated once i downloaded, so until i can get a refund…=D

Anyways

Appulo.us is a website where you can find all sorts of apps (illegal) for download.

There are a couple different ways to getting theese apps on your iphone or ipod touch.

If you have jailbroken your phone go to cydia and download and install installous.

When you open installous and let it laod you will notice you are at appulo.us and you can download and install apps right from there if you want (recommended that you have safari dl plug in).

Another way is through SSH, CyberDuck(mac), or IPhone browser(pc).

However you get files on your iphone is up to you, if you dont know how to get files to your iphone/pod ytou can easily learn from google.

Once you have a way to get the files on your phone you’ll want to plaace them at:
/Private/var/mobile/Library/Downloads

After that open installous on your iphone
go to downloads
And install each app through installous,
after each install you can then delete the ipa from your phone.

theese apps cannot be updated through the appstore and should only be used to evaluate an app.
For example yesterday i tried beatmaker, i like it.

Today i bought it, developer got his $20, and i got an app in know i like.

Thanks and hope this helps
