Have a picture or email that shouldn't be seen by others? Selling your iPhone and want to make sure your data is completely gone from deleted pics or confidential emails and text messages, etc? Check out iErase for iPhone iPod Touch!
Ever wondered how much battery you have left? Wondered what you might be able to do with it left? such as how much time you can surf the web, be on a call, or listening to music? Well Battery GO! aims to do just that. But does it work? Watch the video to find out.
Every taken a picture and like it but it was in a wrong rotation? Maybe your iPhone's acceleromter accidentally rotated it by mistake putting it in landscape mode?
Well with this app you can fix that, it's free has no Ads, at least so far for me. You tap on the app and it automatically opens up your photo album, you then take the photo and tell it to rotate it left or right. Then you hit save. The good thing about this app is it does not replace the photos all it does it just make another copy, then if you want you can then delete the original, but this is good in case you end up do wanting the original photo.
My Conclusion: I got it because one it was free and its really really simple and does what it says no ifs, ands, or buts. You open the photo, rotate it, then click save it's seriously that simple. Good for the people that are into photography and such, especially if you have a lot of pictures.
This application review is on a Cydia App called Supreme Preferences. If you just read the first sentence and have no clue what cydia is, you my friend are missing out. You need to jailbreak your iPhone/iPod Touch. Now instead of making the 234,453,455,534 post on how to jailbreak I’ll just put a link on the video how-to, its simple don’t be scared.
Supreme Preferences gives you about twice the power of settings on your device, from your phone to your calculator application. It gives more options to change the stock applications as well as some cydia ones. You can change your safari settings, mail, iPod, everything.
Let’s start off by saying the app and the changes your allowed to make to them.
Well Supreme Preferences, when installed, gives you your own section in the stock settings applications. It also changes the icon to a more noticeable settings icon. Supreme preferences allows the Push option to give you anywhere from 1 minutes to 30 minutes, then hourly, 3 hours, 6 hours, every 12, daily, and the stock manually one. From there, there are no changes in anything else. The rest of the settings are in supreme preferences.
When you click on supreme preferences, you are giving the following options to change:
Applications
Home
iPod
Mobile Substrate
Status Bar
System
And About
When you click on applications, you are given options for
Mail, Calendars
Phone + SMS
Photos
Safari
App Store
+ More
In the mail setting, not much is added but disabling the background mail process that is automatically set, Phone and Mail are the only ones that are constantly running on the iPhone. Signature is there as well as allowing customization of how many messages you want, you click and the keyboard comes up to allow the user to enter in whatever number he/she pleases. And Calendars are just there for options for when the user’s day is to begin and end.
Phone + SMS pane allows EDGE editing and international assist. International assist automatically adds the correct prefix to the US numbers when dialing from abroad. Dim in call, which should be set, and Lock after call which is pretty nice. For SMS, options for compose new Message, Show the SMS preview, and a SMS alert, not too much here. Photos is the same as the stock settings that are given because not much can be changed. In Safari“Find in Page” is an option that adds a bookmark to work as the “find” you would on your mac or PC. Animated Images are also a switch as well as shrink images to fit, and display images. For the App Store settings all that’s there is to save the password for either App Store or the iTunes store so you don’t have to enter it everytime. This is great, but also bad if you have the friends that don’t know what they’re doing and while you were playing rockband they charge up to 30 bucks in apps installing and buying. So think about it before you hit that “On” switch.
In More you are allowed to switch Calculator settings, restore, and for Maps you can have Live Search and Show Traffic On/Off. In stocks you can show percentages and YouTube just shows what you last searched for.
In Home settings you are allowed to change the Home Button to any application you choose, maybe you text a lot so have the Home Button set to texts, Maybe you take pictures a lot so set it to Camera, have Cydia? Any Cydia apps and app store apps are available as well as your own custom ones. You can also disable the Apple Boot Logo. I’ll have a tutorial on how to change your boot logo coming up soon. You can also hide the battery on charge and choose to reflect the dock icons.
iPod is basic, it’s most of the same settings that you get in the stock settings.
In Mobile Substrate you get Hide Icon Labels and Prevent App Deletion which is great if you sometimes have lag on the home screen and you start tapping every and you hit the X button.
In Status Bar you get to change your carrier name, change the color wheel (loading) have fake time shortcuts, change the time to say something else and also a big thing is to have you Wi-Fi, Signal, and battery percentage in NUMBER format instead of pictures.
System, our last and final pane comes with options to control brightness which was just updated, auto dim, auto lock, custom dim and lock, and whether to disable it or not. You can also have it disable respring so that no apps such as winterboard resprings and so the user manually does it. It then gives you options for keyboard which is stock as well. And then gives you Logs for power, disk space and cannot open apps.
There’s also a touch pane but I refuse to test, as it says messing with it could result in restoring your device, and I don’t have time for the risk, the about tab just gives info on the Application

Ok well I'm a Guy, and I know every guy has to have some sort of pictures they dont want other people, friends, or just whoever looking around through their picture, right? Well I am one of those guys haha. So I was browsing through the App Store, looking for an app that could do just that
So I found Picture Safe 2 by collect3, and I read the sidebar information and this had mainly caught my eye
Even we have had been suprised at the wide range of uses you guys are finding for Pciture Safe! We've had emails from
Parents (safeguarding children) Males 18-85 (no suprise there) Teens (obviously) Suprising Number of females(we choose to imagine the possibilities)
Anyone else suprised at the 85 yr old using this app?! LOL, I am! I am in the Males 18-85 category LOL, So I'm like why not give it a try?
Looks Of the App: It looks like a real secure App, has the whole picture of the vault going on as a splash screen and as the icon. and first when you open the app you have to choose your 4-digit password and then it takes you to the Photo application looking screen. Looks familiar right? Just like the Photo App that came with your iPhone.
UI: Like I said in the previous paragraph its real easy to use its simple yet effective. Its looks just like the stock Photo application, except if you look in the top right corner you'll see the icon for settings. The whole app runs really nice, its simple to get nothing to hard that requires you to go looking on there site for help or stuff, The only thing it does take some time to import them to the library
Features: We got a few features to get through here so lets get started, as you can see in the screen shots you can see options for changing you PIN, having it enabled, this is just changing your password and stuff. Then you can have Wi-Fi access to access them from your computer without it being connected, nice feature right! Then you get the "Photos" option, this basically tells the app where to get your pictures when your adding pics to your albums, its album by default which it will probably stay, at least for me. Then you get slideshow, you guys are familiar with this, playing each photo for 3-15 seconds and such, transitions, repeats and shuffling, basic stuff. Then you get privacy settings, my FAV feature of the app. for starters you get Snoop Stopper: this is cool! Say you have one of those naggy friends that you really dont keep stuff from and there like c'mon let me see them and blah blah blah, well this allows you to create a DIFFERENT Pin and when they enter that one in, it takes them to a whole 'nother album! By default it will have 'Downloaded Pics' with pics of the ocean and stuff from there, in there you can also edit/delete/add pics and albums. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS FEATURE, Good Job Guys! The next one is Quick Hide. Let me paint another picture for you, Say your sitting in the front seat of the car and some friends are in the back and there looking over every now and then, this lets you double tap anywhere and another picture will pop-up, thats right! One minute Sexy picture from girlfriend, the next?! Batman Logo (thats what I have it set to LOL) Another great feature. The Last is Security Log, this tells you who got in and if they were succesful and stuff. Look at the Screenies
Conclusion? I love it. I dont like the time it takes to import but other than that its safe and secure, exactly what I was looking for. It's $2.99 in the App Store, kind of eh, but if you need somewhere to hide those pics, this is your APP! I love the security feautures of it the double tapping, the different PIN different Album whoever came up with that is genius! I have no regrets and only hope that importing gets speedy within the next few updates.
