CameraWallpaper: Wallpaper with Live Feed from iPhone’s Camera

Posted by unlocker under News on Tuesday Feb 22, 2011

We all love to take photos and upload them in different sites. There is a wide array of applications that are meant for photos. Is it lovely to look at photos that seems alive as an accessory to your phone?

Not so long ago, we published a post about a jailbreak app called DeepEnd. This app gives the iPhone’s homescreen a cool 3D-like effect by moving the iPhone’s wallpaper based on its orientation. One of our readers commented that the app could be more impressive if the wallpaper has a live feed from iPhone’s camera rather than a static wallpaper.

Well, it seems that the developer of the jailbreak app with the handle limneomaster liked the idea. Limneomaster revealed plans to release a new jailbreak app called CameraWallpaper. This new app allows users to replace the static wallpaper with live feed from iPhone’s camera.

Users can also take photos right away even without launching the Camera app and set the photo as wallpaper via Activator enabled menu. iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G users will also be able to switch between front and rear cameras. iPhone 4 users will also be able to enable the torch from the menu.

It needs to be seen how the jailbreak tweak affects iPhone’s battery life, etc. The developer hasn’t provided an ETA on when it will be released or how much it will cost or if it will be available for free. As always, we’ll let you know as soon as it is available on the Cydia App Store.

Hacker: Apple may use Qualcomm’s Chipsets In iPhone 5 and iPad 2

Posted by unlocker under News on Monday Feb 14, 2011

Piergiorgio Zambrini or also as Zibri said that Apple is planning to use wireless chipset manufacturer Qualcomm’s baseband for iPhone 5 and iPad 2. He discovered these through his references with the latest version of iTunes.

Zibri developed the ZiPhone, which is an extremely popular jailbreak and unlock application for iPhones with iOS firmware 1.x.

According to one of Zibri’s blogposts: “Tired of all rumors and “undisclosed sources” of the last week roll of blog posts around the web, I decided to dig the matter to get a definitive answer. In the picture above you see a “chunk” of code from the latest iTunes. Maybe, for the most of you, names like “partition.mbn” or “AMSS.MBN” means little or nothing. For me and a few others that means only one thing: QUALCOMM. Those files are the building blocks of any Qualcomm baseband. So I can tell you that the next wave of iProducts will be using a QUALCOMM baseband. Which one I don’t know… maybe the iPad2, maybe the iPhone5 most probably all of them. What is clear is that they are testing them using the same iTunes you have on your hard drives.

Zibri also added that pple may be planning to use Qualcomm’s baseband for the CDMA iPhone and iPad. There have been a lot of rumors that tell that Apple may use the dual GSM/CDMA chipsets produced by Qualcomm in the next generation iPhone instead of the Infineon chipset used in the GSM iPhone 4. Through this technology, Apple can support both Verizon and AT&T compatibility in the same iPhone model rather than producing two different models to support GSM and CDMA networks respectively.
