Hello. RoryPiper here again. This week I’ve got a “how-to” Winterboard theme, that will allow you to set anything you want as your 3G logo.

This will work on Mac or Windows. All you really need is some kind of image editing software, that will allow you to create and export a PNG file, with a transparent background. I’ll be using Adobe Photoshop CS4.

The image we are going to create is … Read More

One of the main reasons people jailbreak their iPhones, is to get the ability to customize the iPhone OS with different themes that can be downloaded from Cydia or, if you have the capability, create yourself.

One of the silliest, but funnest apps I’ve used over the past week, has got to be “I Am T-Pain“, by Smule. Smule are known for other great apps like “Ocarina” and “Leaf Trombone: World Stage“. “I Am T-Pain”, records your voice on it’s own (Freestyle), or singing along to full on, karaoke-style tracks, and adds “Auto-tune”, which makes you sound like T-Pain. … Read More
