Major news (even if it’s a day or so old), but the iPhone has 2 copy and paste apps now: Clippy and Clipboard. I have updated the reasons to jailbreak link adding this information. Check out a brief example of how it works using screenshots of me pasting from notes to safari using Clippy:

Here is the text, then mark the text.

Copy the marked text, then paste the text, in this case, I pasted into safari.

You can install Clippy from Cydia.

Clipboard shoudl be in Cydia in a day or two. See more information about it here.

iPod Touch2G Jailbreak coming!

They have kept it quiet long enough. The iphone-dev team have some great news posted on their blog relating to what redsn0w actually is. Previous speculation was the ultimate iPhone 3G unlock (bootloader exploit). Others thought it was a prank, but we confirmed that in fact, redsn0w.com belonged to the fabulous devs.

Jailbird is a new application that will allow Windows users to jailbreak & unlock their iDevices!

Jailbird is meant to be a replacement for WinPwn, this means unlike Quickpwn, you will be able to generate a Custom IPSW and change your partition size!

I have made some site format changes to help accomodate a couple requests I have had from you users. The first request was to try to make the page a bit faster to load. So I am now only showing a few excerpts from the article with a “continue reading” link so that you don’t have to load every image from every post on the main page.

The second request was that with the app authors being able to write their own posts, it was no longer easy to find my posts, and that is what many users said they came here to read. So I have created a link at the top of the posts that will allow you to view only my posts. I have also put the author’s name in RED so that it stands out on each post.

I really want to allow developers hosting in the BigBoss Repository to be able to annouce their own apps to everybody here. That way developers can get some feedback from the users. I know that it has helped me a lot in my own apps to have comments.

I’m (Albert) now done with developing the JokeBox App for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. It contains a few contents. Each of this JokeBox content contains an image (like Homer or a Cat as you can see in the pictures below). Everytime you touch the screen, a different sound will play. Try it out! [...]

We wish all of iphone-users a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Here is the new version of my app, Siphon for iPhone and iPod Touch 2. Remember back in January 2008, Siphon was the first public version of VoIP/SIP for iPhone OS 1.X. It worked for the iPod Touch 1 (jailbreak) with the [...]

Update: I have repacked the processes and iPod toggle removing the .DS_Store that was causing the problem on install.

I have updated the quickpwn and pwnage guides as appropriate adding any differences for 2.2 and firmware links. I have a post for downloads of the 2.2 jailbreaks. I have updated the firmwares page adding the 2.2 firmware. I have updated BossPrefs and SBSettings toggles for 2.2. SBSettings toggles had to undergo major changes. I [...]

Is your iPhone running slower than it did after you first jailbroke it? Do you have issues where apps are running slower or taking longer to load than they use to? Some of this can be caused by what you have chosen to install on your iPhone. Let’s take a look at some things that [...]

I finally got the repository web apps working again. Remember that with these apps you can view everything in my Cydia repository without actually having Cydia open. You can see what’s new using the New Apps link, and you can see entire listing with the Hosting / Repository link (almost at 500 packages yay). These [...]

Over the last couple days, I have moved the site from sleepers.net to thebigboss.org on new servers. While a lot of links and content may be lost, this was something that had to be done. I will still be updating the site at this location in the future. I have had a lot of questions [...]

Avoid iDontCrash and developer Brandon (El Jabon). A week ago, a developer tried to send me an app called iDontCrash to host. Being curious, and a developer myself, I asked a few questions about this app before hosting it. The answers proved to me that it is total fraud on the community. It should be [...]
