iPhone homebrew: StatusNotifier 0.1

StatusNotifier is an app that lets users see status bar notifications to their iPhones. There’s a similar feature included in IntelliScreen, but if you don’t fancy using that app just for the notifications feature, then this is perfect for you.

When it’s installed, StatusNotifier adds an icon to the iPhone’s status bar. You can see an example in the second screenshot above, the one with the arrow pointing to the upper right. It lets you quickly see if you have a missed call, voicemail, text message, or email.

StatusNotifier can be downloaded on Cydia for free. The app is currently at version 0.1.

iPhone and iPod Touch homebrew developer ZodTTD has released a MAME arcade emulator for iPhone and iPod Touch devices running on firmware 2.x.

Called mame4iPhone, this app seems to be a port of Franxis‘ mame4all which, in turn, is based on MAME v3.07 Beta 5. Right now, it supports a whopping 2,000-plus games ranging from the 70s to the present, although it’s worth noting that not every rom may work with mame4iPhone.

This version of mame4iPhone supports sound, but ZodTTD says it’s disabled by default. To enable it, go to Now Playing, slide the slider for volume up from the off position then start a game.

If you have any feedback, drop the developer a line at the Source link below. A list of supported games is also available there. You can download mame4iPhone from ZodTTD’s repository on Cydia.

iPhone homebrew: dTunes v2.5 now with Torrent support

dTunes v2.5 - Image 1

There’s a new version of dTunes out, bringing the homebrew iTunes replacement up to version 2.5. The big news about this release is the introduction of Torrent support.

The app’s Torrent support feature comes via iTorrentRelay, the only Torrent client for firmware 2.0 and higher iPhones so far. What’s even cooler is that it also converts any media file to a format suitable for the iPhone and iPod Touch upon downloading.

The catch here is that although dTunes is free, iTorrentRelay isn’t. It’s a subscription service that costs US 9.99 a month. Of course, if you can’t spare the cash, you can still use this version of dTunes without using the Torrent support feature.

As usual, you can download dTunes on Cydia.
