XING BlackBerry App updated to ver. 1.5
by Arthur on Mar.04, 2010, under Blackberry
XING BlackBerry App updated to ver. 1.5
Features :
Save Time, Money and Traffic
Optimized data management is one of the new developments and is now far more efficient with less data being automatically loaded. This in turn helps to reduce the level of traffic generated and not only leads to increased execution speeds, but can also help to put off the speed reduction that a number of providers enforce when users exceed a certain monthly data volume. This of course helps to save money when roaming.
Improved Contact and Messaging Management
Contact management within the app has been improved. As is the case with the browser-based platform, now you can add messages to and decline contact requests, while unconfirmed contacts now appear in their own tab. As was previously the case, available contact data is intuitively linked to core BlackBerry functions such as the telephone, email, and map application.
The outbox, i.e., your sent messages, is now also available in the application so you can mark messages as ‘unread’ once you’ve read them to make sure you don’t forget about them.
When viewing profiles, you can now also see the ‘Wants’, ‘Haves’ and ‘Interests’ fields. And, just like on the browser-based platform, visitors to your profile are displayed in a separate tab rather than in the ‘What’s new in your network’ list.
This ‘interim version’ therefore incorporates a number of application optimizations while adapting handling and usage to that of the browser-based platform. Naturally, data traffic via the application only occurs once authentication has taken place, and personal privacy settings are retained at all times.

Iconify for BlackBerry, Quick access to Your Contacts (Dial or Mail) & Websites
by Arthur on Feb.03, 2010, under Blackberry
Iconify for BlackBerry
Create Web-, Dial- & MailLinks with individual icons directly on your HomeScreen
Iconify is for all BlackBerry® devices with OS 4.3 or higher
[successfully tested with 8110, 8130, 8220, 8310, 8330, 8700, 8800, 8820, 8830, 8900, 9000, 9500, 9520, 9530, 9550, 9630 & 9700].
Iconify Core Features:
* Create an IconifyDialLink to any Contact of your BlackBerry® AddressBook directly on your HomeScreen.
o Specify a custom image or use the contact picture
o Select a single number, specify a custom number or pick “select each time” (once the contact have multiple numbers assigned)
o Select if you would like to confirm the number dialing
As soon as you change any details (number or picture) of your contact in your BlackBerry® AddressBook Iconify will instantly refresh the link on your HomeScreen. So the IconifyLink is always up2date! (only applies, if you made no “custom” settings for an IconifyLink)
* Create an IconifyMailLink to any Contact of your BlackBerry® AddressBook directly on your HomeScreen.
o Same as for Dial Links you can select between multiple eMail Addresses, SMS-Number, PIN, or specify a custom eMail address for an IconifyMailLink.
* Create an IconifyWebLink to a Webpage you have currently open in your BlackBerry® Browser directly on your HomeScreen.
o Adjust the URL if needed
o Specify an custom name or use the default generated
o Iconify will try to read the favicon.ico file of the Webserver (only JPG & PNG supported – these formats are not very common yet as favorite.ico files – but that hopefully will change in the future). Once a Site offers a favicon.ico file in a supported format Iconify will use that image as custom picture for this IconifyLink.
* Options to configure Iconify to your choice
o Always confirm when on Roaming [ON/OFF]
o Default Confirm for new DialLinks [ON/OFF]
o Default Confirm for new WebLinks [ON/OFF]
o Various settings to configure the custom image browser
o Force TCP/IP for favicon.ico request (WebLinks)
Please Note:
For some reason it could happen, that your BlackBerry® HomeScreen will loose the name, picture or both of your created IconifyLinks – e.g. when you deinsall an application via the options. In this case, go to BlackBerry® Options select ‘Iconify Options’ and choose ‘Refresh all IconifyLinks’ from the list.

Redsn0w 0.9 Final released
by Arthur on Jan.31, 2010, under iPhone
Redsn0w 0.9 Final released by iPhone Dev-Team
[copied from iPhone Dev Team Portal]
redsn0w 0.9
What is it?
A cross-platform jailbreaking, unlocking, and customizing tool for iPhones and iPod touches. Customizations include boot logos, recovery logos, and “verbose” boot. It’s a standalone program that doesn’t use iTunes (no custom IPSWs are involved).
The download links are at the bottom of this page (but please read the whole page anyway!).
We’ve been offering redsn0w in various incarnations over the years (including poorlad’s Windows version of QuickPwn). The most recent release before this one was redsn0w 0.8, which targeted Apple firmware 3.0/3.0.1.
What devices, platforms, and FW versions are supported?
This release supports:
It will also soon run on the PPC OSX, and Linux platforms.
If you need a carrier unlock, redsn0w will handle iPhone 2G by itself (by installing our BootNeuter utility). For the 3G and 3GS, use Cydia after you’re jailbroken to install ultrasn0w (baseband 04.26, preferred) or blacksn0w (baseband 05.11).
How is it different from PwnageTool?
redsn0w doesn’t require a system restore like PwnageTool does (it doesn’t even use iTunes at all). On the other hand, PwnageTool can prevent your baseband from being upgraded when you upgrade your firmware, preserving your unlock. (redsn0w doesn’t touch your baseband but it doesn’t help preserve it during an upgrade either).
redsn0w works by modifying your current filesystem, so your existing baseband, data and applications should remain intact.
How is it different from blackra1n?
It differs from blackra1n because:
What if I have a late-model device?
If you have a late-model iPhone 3GS, or if you have an iPod touch 2G whose serial number begins with “MC”, or any iPod touch 3G, you can use redsn0w to jailbreak but you are currently restricted to “tethered” rebooting. That means you need to connect your device to a computer to complete the boot after a reset. Also, these devices cannot have custom logos.
redsn0w will ask you whether or not you fit in this category when used with the iPhone 3GS or iPod touch 2G+3G. If you have a late-model device and don’t give redsn0w the correct answer, you will likely need to do a system restore to recover from the mistake.
To do a tethered boot after your late-model device resets for some reason, either run redsn0w again and select “Just boot tethered right now”, or run blackra1n.
What if I’m already jailbroken?
If you’re already jailbroken (by whatever means), redsn0w can still be used to change your boot logos, revert back to the stock logos, or switch verbose booting on and off. By selecting “Already Pwned” you can bypass the steps normally needed to enter the jailbroken state.
How long should it take
You should see a picture of a drive (“Downloading Jailbreak Data”) within 30 seconds of launching the jailbreak (after you’ve made your custom selections). It should then reboot and you should see a running pwnapple while the process is underway. It should finish within a minute or two after that, and will reboot on its own.
What is the IPCC tethering hack?
It allows you to install cellphone Carrier Bundles that aren’t officially signed by Apple. This lets you, for instance, install a Carrier Bundle that allows you to use your iPhone as a way to connect your PC to the internet (through your 3G cell connection). See the 2nd topic on this page for more. This hack is always installed on 3G and 3GS phones by redsn0w (no selection is required).
Is it safe?
The Windows version has been tested by small groups of volunteers on IRC and our blog since mid-January. That being said, if things go wrong you may have to do a system restore…so make sure your data and pictures are synced before trying the beta.
Feedback
Please send any feedback to MuscleNerd (either gmail or iphone-dev.org), or tweet with a #redsn0w tag. Please detail your device, OS, and any problem you find.

BlackBerry Master Control Program 0.9.3.0 Beta 4 released
by Arthur on Jan.28, 2010, under Blackberry
BlackBerry Master Control Program 0.9.3.0 Beta 4 released
BlackBerry Master Control Program (MCP) is a power tool for BlackBerry devices designed for basic, moderate and advanced users.
You can use BlackBerry Master Control Program (MCP) to (Basic) take screenshots (including auto-capture and auto-save), set the device time, turn the radio/on off, recover memory, gather information, view/clear event logs, display modules, gather module information, create ALX/JAD files, backup and restore third party applications, (Advanced) handheld wipe (all 3 types), factory reset, load, save and erase modules. The Operating System Management page allows you to completely manage and optimize any OS you want to install on your device. The Javaloader CLI page offers a 1:1 GUI for javaloader.exe.
MCP allows you to keep an unlimited number of OS’s installed on your PC but at the time you actually install an OS to your device MCP only lets RIM’s Application Loader “see” the OS you had selected inside MCP. Most OS 101 articles tell you to uninstall all other OS’s from your PC before you begin the process. This is time consuming to say the least. MCP allows you to keep multiple BlackBerry OS’s installed on your computer and keep them in their current (possibly optimized) state for later use at any time.
Any controls that can potentially harm your device are blocked from use until you enter a passphrase… so even new users can’t do any harm using it until they know what they are doing.
