iPhone hacking for mere mortals
If you’re like me you’ve been sitting on the sidelines while more daring souls hack away at their iPhones. Personally, I’m not a big fan of tinkering with my iPhone’s firmware when I need it to make phone calls. It’s bad enough that I can’t receive calls while I’m using the EDGE network, I don’t need to brick my iPhone because I really want to have the CTU ringtone.
Anyway, fear not young hacker. A new application called iFuntastic is available that allows mere mortals to hack away at our iPhones without getting our hands dirty in the command line.
The first version of iFuntastic was limited to custom ringtones. Version 2.0 allows you to add ringtones from anywhere you choose, change carrier logos and even change the icon display order on the home screen.
