GreenPois0n - Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1

It's a matter of choice and discretion if you want to jailbreak your iDevice. As for me, my 3GS got jailbroken within its first week in my hands - that was back in 20' ten.

Rumor has it that Apple isn't releasing an iOS update in the near future, so the current iOS - 4.2.1 has been flying high so far. Then in a spur of a moment, greenpois0n got released for the Mac, i got a tweet from my Twitter friend asking how'd it went on my device, i got toungue-tied, for im no Mac user. To quote Engadget, "it has been a pain of two days"...  the untethered jailbreak for Windows has finally set foot on the doorsteps after two days .

Huge thanks to Dundee for his FB post re greenpois0n for windows. At that instant, i immediately jailbroken my device and jumped thru it. 

The experience was one hell of a relief after my 3 tries of synching/following the uncomlicated steps. Honestly, this is far easier than the last time i've jailbroken my device back in 2010's blackra1n.

Rightee yo! i'm reaping the basics of jailbroken device again. Oh, how i missed the sbsettings.

The five icon dock...

And the winterboard... Hang on, i recently not into customizing my themes lately, despite the glamour and aesthetic the Cydia featured themes offers, i got this nah-ah feeling to install... (i am succumbing to being a minimalist slowly, and yeah! slowly!). So as you can see on the below image, DROID lock and unlock sound is the only one being ticked. I have carried this over from my first jailbreak. It was my old lock/unlock sound. The droid sound is awesome!!! Try it!

Currently, i just got so lucky again for the tip of Dundee re carrier customization - i installed Fake Carrier via BigBoss' repository  under Cydia.

What else? Uhm, MXTube, iFile, ABGrouper and Terminal.. Sofar, those are the updates i've made.

To recap, i could say that i'm not really intuit, i know there's a lot more out there to explore and install, but i'm satiated as of this moment with my Sidebar swoosh and the "billymac" carrier on my device.

Despite all these techno-mod on my device, guess what which have i chosen as default for the Who Are You question:

User: Apps, Tweaks, and Themes

Hacker: Adds Command Line tools

Developer: everything, even scary internal stuff

I've selected: Hacker.

The top 2 reasons why you should use Chrome browser and leave Internet Explorer asap

Whenever i see some of my non-geek friends juggling thru multiple tabs and windows of the Internet Explorer browser, i'd pause and take the time to impart them the danger of still using IE and force 'em to download the Google Chrome Browser while giving 'em the sidelights of its lucrativity and usefulness.

If you're not using Google Chrome browser, and still wallowing with IE or Firefox or Opera (or prolly Safari for the Mac enthusiasts), you're missing a lot of fun and strategic net surfing, not to mention speed and neatness.

Since when did i start using Chrome? I saw this actually when i was still an RS at Dell back in 2008, with my agent Bob fiddling the tabs, i took interest intuit and since then, Google Chrome has been my default browser.

The top 2 reasons why Chrome browser is inseparable to me whenever i surf the web?

1. Speed

- Trust me, you can really feel the difference whenever  Facebook loads up in chrome as compared when being loaded to IE

- The address bar or the Omnibox was designed as a search box. I don't need to type google.com and enter my search keyword in the box anymore. All i gotta do is type the keyword i wanna seach in the address bar, Hit enter; and presto! the search results are up!!!

- the drag and drop feature is way better than any other browser

2. Minimalist Style

- If you're a sucker of simplicity and clutterless browser, then go and download chrome's minimalist theme.

- The default theme is already pleasing to the eyes.

- What makes me love further about this ingenuity of Google is its neatness and ease of use when it comes to settings and options. I can't help but compare to IE's maze of Internet Options; but with Chrome, it's pretty neat and easy to navigate.

So? you might be asking, if the feat - IN Private browsing is available?  Oh Yeah! it's called Incognito mode which i blogged before. When it comes to security, this is way at par to other browsers out there.  Surely, i've never been attacked with pop-ups and malware and spyware.

Till now, i just couldn't resist promoting this beautiful browser, it's so useful and down-to-earth. 

In full effect, i'm thinking a portmanteau of deep obsessiveness and chrome, that'd be Chromniac. Lol

Reface Facebook using your iPhone

Okay, i'm not a big fan of Mark Zuck and Steve Jobs is figuratively litotes in nature. I blogged last time that there are two ways in refacing your FB profile which was a huge success cuz that entry made it to the top of Popular Post on this blog.

What i wanna share now (which could give wide-eyed smiles to iPhone users) is the handy app that you can use in refacing your Facebook.

Goto the APP STORE on your phone and type "Facebook Custom"

After downloading the app, just walk in thru the steps and you should be able to achieve your desired appearance of your Facebook Profile.

This is neat for those who rely most on their iPhones, twiddling through your laptop and desktop sometimes can give nausea.

Thanks to Dundee for sharing this free app.

Divide me not!

A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation. 

Mark Twain 

do not tremble when the strong aims to crush

or weaken thy knees when it attacks

do not lose hope upon the valleys of fear

or faint upon the scythes of wrath

be compassionate to those of less

and be patient to those of rue

forget their wisdom clue

and bury their rudeness without due

do not symphatize...

it's better to emphatize

be a an ear to listen

of worries that needeth spoken

heed those who are weary

to orphans you must show mercy

wipe away the tears of grief

& strengthen the world, void of peace

care to smile to strangers

you might not know how they feel

you might have lifted some of their sorrows

in their delight of grin despite in a burrow

fear no more

where the end is near

at long last you will see

the promise of eternity

January is almost over, yeeha!!! thoughts of endless hope keeps running through my head, i can't help but stand still. The journey must go on. ;)
