Changing Boot Logo on iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch

Posted by unlocker under News, iPad on Monday Apr 4, 2011

We like our devices to be customized and personalized. Well, here is good news for users of various Apple devices who have jailbroken their devices. You can now customize your jailbroken iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch. One thing you can change is the boot logo. For example, you do not like the Greenpois0n animated logo after jailbreaking our iOS device using Greenpois0n and want the Apple boot logo then here is a simple way to change it thanks to the BootLogo Addon available in Cydia. Here is the complete steps that you should follow to change the boot logo:

  • Launch Cydia from your jailbroken iOS device’s home screen.
  • Click on the Sections Tab.
  • Click on Addons (BootLogo), which can be found on the list.
  • Click on the Apple Logo from the list of Addons.
  • Click the Install button, which is located on the upper right hand corner.
  • Click on the Confirm button.
  • After you have successfully installed the Addon, you will be prompted to Restart SpringBoard. Click on this option to proceed.
  • You still need to change the settings so launch on the Settings app and click on the BootLogo option.
  • You will see a list of Boot logos options installed in your iOS device.
  • Click on the Apple Logo under Built In.

And you are done. That’s it! You will see the Apple Logo when you restart your iPhone instead of the Greenpois0n animated logo. You can also use this method to change the boot logo to anything else.

Apple Job Posting starts Rumors on Apple TV

Posted by unlocker under News on Monday Mar 14, 2011

There is a job vacancy in Apple as the company is looking for people who will work on the next generation power supply technology. The job listing goes like this:

“You will be part of pride developing innovative designs, which are implemented in products used by millions of people. The position primarily involves high-density offline power supply’s development for Apple’s next generation Macintosh platforms spanning from notebook computers, desktop computers, servers, standalone displays and TV.”

It is important to note that in the ad, Apple differentiated the standalone displays and TV’s by clubbing them separately in the listing. The job listing then led to numerous speculations that Apple could be working on the Apple TV, the area where Apple has not been able to conquer much. This is not the first time that we will hear rumors about speculations that Apple is planning to make its own brand of TV.

In 2009, there were reports about the possibility including a report from Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Muster who commented that this is a possibility. This recent post relives the speculations again. If you will check the job listing again, there is a slight change in the job posting. Apple has edited the earlier job description and the “TV” bit has been changed to “Apple TV”.

What do you think of the idea of playing your favorite games on the Apple Television with iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch as the controller? Are you not excited? We would love Apple to make their own TV set.
