bitSplit, the man that brought you iFuntastic, has released version 2.0, which improves functionality and adds some new features. If you've been living under a rock lately, the iPhone Dev Wiki hackers have been hard at work on all sorts of nifty hacks for the iPhone. Most of these hacks are for seasoned Terminal and command line users, which has likely turned off a few folks. Sure, there have been guides written, but it's still not ideal for the average user. iFuntastic is an application that aims to make it easy for mere mortals to add ringtones, change the carrier logo, and reorder their applications. More after the jump!

The first version of iFuntastic was great, but it was limited to custom ringtones. Version two brings improvements to the custom ringtone feature, allowing you to add ringtones from anywhere you choose. The ability to change carrier logos has also been added, as well as the ability to change the icon display order on the home screen. Just like version one, iFuntastic v2 is super easy to use. There's been a lot of work done to make the instructions clearer, when they're needed.

Download links: Rapidshare(removed) & iPhone Alley. No difference between them, just different sites. Do not rename iFuntastic as it will cease to function.

There is a new version of iFuntastic (I know, crazy) that has some minor bug fixes and improvements. Grab it here. iFuntastic currently only runs on Intel Macs.

For everyone that forgot to take their ADD meds, enjoy some pictures:

Thanks so much for developing this application! I used v1, but now I'm trying v2. I hope you'll continue the great work!

I worked it out, but others may want to know... if you already have version 1 and you download version 2, you'll need to trash the older version before opening version 2. If you forget to do this, it will fail to open and tell you the program is corrupt or incomplete. Once you trash your earlier version, everything works just fine!

@fractured: Glad to hear you figured that out, and thanks a lot for the tip!

Just a heads up: for anyone else with questions, comments, whatever; this post has it's own thread in the forums, where a discussion about it will continue, so feel free to pop in.

Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Here's an idea you might want to look at for version 3.0:

Is there ANY terminal work needed to use this, yellow triangle restores, etc etc? Or is it all GUI?

I'd love to replace the AT&T logo with the apple one I see in your screen shots - where would one happen to find that??

Thanks in advance!!

There's absolutely NO Terminal work needed, but you do need to put the phone into the soft restore mode (holding Home and Sleep/Wake). Don't worry, that won't remove any data, though. Its just so jailbreak can do it's thing.

Actually, that's one I made last night, but I'd be happy to share it with everyone! Grab the Apple carrier logo here.

swweeeeet (in my best cartman voice!)

Does this version support replacing system sounds? If they did that it would make this app golden imo.

So jailbreak is included w/in the iFuntastic software then?

Is that the case with iPhoneInterface as well? It has jailbreak included? I've seen a few HOWTOs on adding ringtones w/ iPhoneInterface that show no manual use of jailbreak.. just a simple copy command.

Also - does using iFuntastic, etc, etc void your warranty?

@fractured: thanks for pointing this out. Actually, you cannot rename the iFuntastic app (I assume you called it iFuntastic2 or some such thing, which *I* should have done.) If you do, it can't find the executable in the package anymore (I'll investigate further.)

@admin: could you put the 'do not rename' warning into the main description, please? Thanks!

I was able to make modifications to my phone no problem, but shortly after smiling at my changes, I found that my music was no longer available in iPod.

After connecting to iTunes, I found that the space was still used, but no longer recognized by iTunes. I had to reset, but now the phone is functioning correctly.

Is the problem resolved now?

I don't think so. If you want to be sure, before you go to an Apple Store to show a Genius or send it off, I'd restore it so mods are gone.

I believe that iFuntastic uses both jailbreak and iPhoneInterface to do it's work. You don't need to download anything else, though.

So this program works only on MACs? Nothing for PC?

This is just for Macs. Maybe sometime in the future it'll be for Windows.

This looks like the perfect utility while we wait for Apple to release a new version of iTunes that supports custom ringtones. Very cool, thanks for posting the link.

combined with the tip from TUAW about 30 second preview from Apple itunes store. downloaded files are in .m4p (protected) format and iFuntastic 1.0 or 2.0 won't see it, is this a bug?

did anyone get it to work?

[Michael Johnston]

Thanks for the tip! You're right about this, it seems that iFuntastic doesn't have a rule for m4p's, which is the protected aac format. The way around it is to rename the .m4p file to m4a.

Tada!
