Apple iPhone sw update breaks hacks again
So the cat and mouse game continues.
This is the first apple update I’m not going to install on my iPhone. My hacked iphone finally gives me the feature I’ve been waiting for. Contact search.
Apple’s updates have to better than the hacks if they want to keep playing this game.
Or I suspect there will be many folks like me that we stay a few versions behind and keep their community functionality.
Search Contacts on iPhone. Finally.
One of my biggest frustrations with the iPhone is the inability to search the address book. The iPhone way is to either sort by first name or last name and then scoll down until you find the person you are looking for.
Blech.
But thankfully the developer community has fixed this.
Here’s how to add Search:
- Make sure you are on a WiFi network not Edge
- point your iPhone Safari browser to www.jailbreakme.com
- Scroll down and select Install AppSnap. It took me two tries but then no problem
- After that you will have an Installer button on your iPhone home page. Select it.
- Install the following software: BSD Subsystems, Community Sources and then Search app. It’s super fast and works great.
Here’s what it looks like when you are done.
