Silent Switch Bypass is an application that bypasses the silent switch on your iPhone, forcing all the system sounds on. When you install Silent Switch Bypass you will get a few pop-ups. The first pop-up will confirm that you are on firmware 1.1.4 and that you would like to bypass your silence switch. The second pop-up will tell you that your silence switch has been bypassed and that you will need to restart your iPhone. Once you have restarted your iPhone, the application will automatically bypass your silence switch. Note: It will not put a icon or application on your SpringBoard it will just automatically turn on all your iPhone’s system sounds.
While checking out the What’s New section of the iSlsk iPhone application, I noticed that he mentions an application that he is working on called MobileKaraoke. It is an application that connects to an online database which then pulls the lyrics of the current song playing on your iPhone or iPod Touch. The is no scheduled release date for the application however, we do know that it will be available through Installer and not the App Store. Below is a list of the apps features.
Key Features:
• lyrics synchronizing (verses get highlighted as they are sang in the song), as well as support for non-synced lyrics.
• lyric uploading, allowing everyone to make their own synced lyrics and help the database grow, allowing others to get and enjoy them.
• get all your music library lyrics on background for later use in offline-mode (so that you don’t have to depend on having any near wi-fi connection)
• customizable fonts, size and colors
Schmap.com is both a website for city guides and local search. First we’ll start with city guides. There is support for the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand and Other Europe. I chose Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The guide has info on the city, tours, attractions, activities, hotels, restaurants, bas/clubs, coffee/tea, arts/fun, shopping, services and festivals. I started under “City Info” and selected the subcategory “Historical Background”. I got about 10 pages of the history of Minneapolis. In this area you have to scroll using two fingers.
Next I tried attractions. Again, there were many subcategories to choose from but I just went with “Top Attractions” just to be safe. I got a nice list including thumbnails to a couple zoos, the Mall of America, Valleyfair, Science Museum and more. Tapping on a selection gets you address, phone, email and URL link. These are all tappable and then interface with the iPhone’s other apps. There are also buttons at the bottom of the page that switch you to a review or photos of the attraction. You can also hit previous and next buttons to scroll through the attractions. Continue reading »
There have been a few SummerBoard themes released through the Installer in the last few days. Below are xBox 360 via BigBoss, VendingMachine via ModMyiFone and CakeWhite via ModMyiFone (there is also a CakeBlack however, I could not get it to download).
Today, version 2.87 of Ringtones showed up in my Installer in Recent Packages. However, version 2.87 of Ringtones has already been released (a month ago!). I did notice that when I installed the “update” it changed the application icon. There are no other visual changes to the application so, I’m not really sure what the deal is…maybe just an icon update. You can get Ringtones via the Skrew source.
The update to version 0.3 of iSlsk, a file sharing application, adds quite a few changes to the application. Some of the visual changes include an updated icon, a What’s New option on the lower menu bar giving you more information about the application and spinner wheel in the status bar that indicates activity while searching for files. Below is a list of the rest of the changes in version 0.3. You can get iSlsk through the BigBoss source.
Note: Be sure to read all information regarding the use of this application before using.
Version 0.3 Change Log:
• The long-awaited alphabetical sorting bug fix. No more artist/song/album crazy-letter-jump in your music player, and if you currently have it all messed up, it will be fixed automatically the next time you import a song.
• Fixed major problems when trying to import a song with no tag information (blank title, artist and/or album) Continue reading »
Like applications Euro2008 - a European Football Associations Guide and Formula1 - a Formula1 Guide, TourDeFrance is a Guide for le Tour de France. The application will open to the main screen in which you can select your language, as of right now, only English is available. Though, I’m sure we will see more languages added with future updates. Once you have selected your language you will be brought to the main menu here you will see the options; News, Teams with Drivers, Race Calendar, Race Info, Race Map, Last 10 “Winners”, Credits and Select Your Language. The New option will bring you to a menu in which you can choose to see new via Yahoo or BBC Sports. When you select an article from either, Continue reading »
The only visual change to version 1.1-1 of Formula1, a Formula1 Guide, is that Spanish and French have been added to the list of available language. Other that, the application has all the same features as in the previous version. You can get Formula1 via the iSpazio source.
The biggest change with the update to version 0.32e of THTouch, a Texas Hold’em application, is that the controls have been changed back to the way there were in previous versions of the application. They still look the same as in the version 0.32a however, you are now able to just swipe instead of holding down the controls and then selecting Ok. I know this is something a lot of you did not like in the previous version of this application. Also, the Deal button has been Continue reading »
A little over a week ago, we wrote an article about Neverball and how Lazrhog was in the early stages of porting it to the iPhone. Well, the development has come a little further along and it seems the first release is getting closer. Below is an updated demo video…check it out!

Happy 4th of July from everyone here at Apple iPhone School. We hope you get to enjoy the Holiday relaxing and spending time with family and friends. Maybe even see some fireworks (we lit sparklers last night!).
PS…we realize this doesn’t apply to everyone so, if it doesn’t, we hope you have a great day too!
SdlRoids is an game base on Asteroids. When you open the application it will take you directly into the game. You move the ship left by tapping on the lower left side of your iPhone’s screen. You move the ship right by tapping on the lower right side of your iPhone’s screen. You shoot by tapping in the lower middle part of your iPhone’s screen and you move forward by tapping anywhere in the upper half of your iPhone’s screen. It took about five minutes of Doug explaining this application to me before I got it and I’m still not sure I totally understand. But, as you all know, I’m not huge on shooter games (crazy boys)! Below is a demo video. You can get SdlRoids through the ModMyiFone source. Continue reading »
iSIM is a backup program that will back up your address book to your SIM card. You can also import contacts from an old SIM card. You can even dial numbers right off the SIM card without moving them to your iPhone. I wanted to try this out and move a bunch of contacts from my iPhone to Brooke’s.
First I installed the app on both iPhones. The first thing I noticed was that I could only move one contact at a time to the SIM card. If you want to do more than one at a time you have to pay. It’s $12.95 USD/$9.95 EUR. This should be ok though because we just want to move a few specific contacts. I started tapping some contacts I wanted and it would pop up the Name and Phone Number of the contact and I selected “ok” to transfer to the SIM card. I tried it on a few that just had email address and it didn’t do anything. Continue reading »
The update to SkrewCommon and vWallpaper adds the ability to set video ringtones.

The Video Wallpaper option itself has not changed. When select the Video Ringtones option, you will get a menu with the following options; Enable VideoRingtone, Select Video, Download Videos, Videos Repository (which is not available yet) and Restart SpringBoard.
