iFuntastic v2.5.0 Released: Now includes full file browser

Submitted by Michael Johnston on August 6, 2007 - 4:48pm.

It's about that time again, iFuntastic time, that is. There have been many requests for the next version and this one delivers some, with a twist. Aside from it's Intel-Mac only compatibility, iFuntastic v2.5.0 adds one of the neatest features yet: A full file browser. Not only does it simply browse the iPhone's internal file system, it also adds the ability to edit UI images on the fly from within the app. This can be extremely useful for those looking to customize their iPhone, and it's super easy to boot. Images, other changes, and download link after the break!

Download iFuntastic v2.5.0 here and enjoy some sweet iFun! Only works on Intel-Chip Based Mac's, but PPC support will be in next version (that means any day now!)

Changes since Version 2.1.0 b001
-----------------------------------------------

* clarified the carrier logo naming
* fixed a bug where m4p ringtones could not be added with the 'Add to List' dialog

Now to the fun stuff!
Thanks to the busy people from the iPhone Dev Team!
I'm using their iPHUC (something has to be done about that name :-)
to get files off the phone - this makes things *very* exciting.
It's also the first step towards a PPC version - just a bit more patience, please.

Check out the 'Browser' page:
You can edit and replace any graphic on the phone!
You can replace any system sound!
You can color your SMS balloons!

It still needs some polishing and simplification, but if you want to get a glimpse of the possibilities,
install 'iFuntasy 01' and see if you can find all the subtle (and not so subtle) changes to your phone!

EDIT: In case you haven't noticed, the comment string has gotten pretty hefty. I've decided to close it, but you can still post your comments and questions in the "Third Party Apps" forum. If you want to request a feature, we've already got a thread going, here. Enjoy!

Can you use this to install apps?

Submitted by Unregistered (not verified) on August 6, 2007 - 5:10pm.

Submitted by Unregistered (not verified) on August 6, 2007 - 5:16pm.
I really wish that support for third party apps would be installed.

Submitted by Michael Johnston on August 6, 2007 - 5:25pm.
You should be able to install applications using this. I haven't tried yet, though.

This really looks great and thank you for the upcoming PPC port. I am really looking forward to using this and to whatever other functionality you add to it over time. Very nice!

What's all the stuff that gets install in /opt/local for?

Submitted by Unregistered (not verified) on August 6, 2007 - 6:58pm.
nice! here's my request:

-an install-ssh button.
-a option to upload any given file to a specific directory (helpful for the keyboard settings to disable auto-spellcheck)
-a way to upload apps. (terminal, iphone NES emulator, voice recorder ect. )

tired of waiting for updates so i ran this app. worked out well. Custom ringers a plenty. Though the audio is still so low I could not hear the ringers if i was outside. I even put on loud hip hop tracks but still not loud enough, and yes i turned the volume all the way up. Get in there and tweat this poor speaker somehow.

Icons cant be transparent with iFun 2?

Submitted by Unregistered (not verified) on August 6, 2007 - 10:09pm.
Trying to change icons and the background color keeps getting set... I can't figure out how to remove the background color so that the icons are transparent... any help anyone could provide on this? Thanks in advance, and thanks to all the folks working on this, this IS going to be THE app for modding the iphone.

Curious if you might know about how to remove the background colors in iFun2.5?

I hope because today I will apply the Silvercard method and since I am not able to use shell... I would like to use this impressing tool instead.

Any skilled people please answer !!! KR

Windows Users

Quit complaining about your Windowns Machine. It's an obvious answer to switch to Mac...so quit whining, and buy one.

Thats exactly what i was thinking Tho, i have PPC, so i'm screwed anyways

3rd party apps

Submitted by PPeng (not verified) on August 7, 2007 - 12:57pm.
There is no way to actually drop files into /Applications. One can see the folder using iFuntastic but can not add anything, it truly seems to be a browser. Is there something I am missing?

Submitted by skiv (not verified) on August 7, 2007 - 1:29pm.
Seems to be a problem with transparent backgrounds... they get replaced by whatever color is selected in iFun...

Submitted by StrongestHylian (not verified) on August 7, 2007 - 2:03pm.
Please add a way to execute the "setafc com.apple.afc2" command under iPHUC. This is for those who have used the jailbreak method as described in the iPhone Dev Wiki after installing iPHUC.

PC users, buy a Mac.

The iMac is a good deal and it's way better than what you're using right now.

You need to replace the .caf files with your own. Those are in /System/Library/Audio/UISounds. A .caf file is just a .AIF, so just make an aif and rename it.

I think you're referring to the little bit down at the bottom of the home screen. That's called the "dock" and it's located inside of /System/Library/CoreServiecs/SpringBoard.app

Good to know. Add that to the growing list of things to add to iFuntastic

I stupidly restored my iPhone without transferring my new photos to iPhoto. Could iFuntastic make the storage space (where I assume my photos have not yet been overwritten) available to any of the programs that could recover them?

You think that you will be relasing a PC version anytime soon?
PLEASE, its killing me

There needs to be a PPC version FIRST, before a PC version............It just doesn't seem right that I can't mod my APPLE phone with my APPLE computer

thx

sure makes this process a lot easier, thx a lot

bitSplit is VERY close to a PPC version. Once we get PPC, the need for re-jailing should be gone and only one Jailing process will be required.
