April 12th, 2008 — iPhone Hacks, Tips and Tricks
Skafia has made an awesome post on our forums about changing the carrier logo (upper left hand corner of the iPhone).
and some more instructions:
-----------------------------
** To change the logo, or change your ringtones, or anything in the
future, you have to "jailbreak" your iphone using the iphone hack found

--sounds-on-your-iphone-using-windows
Then, to change your carrier logo, just Plug in your iPhone (after it's
be "jailbreaked"), close iTunes and make sure you have 2 65x20 .png
files in your c:/phonedmg directory on your computer.
The first logo is the one you see on the homescreen, case sensitive:
FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png
The second logo is the one you see everywhere else in your apps:
Default_CARRIER_ATT.png
Make sure they are transparent so they look nice in the toolbars of
Safari and stuff.
Then you just run "iphoneinterface.exe" and once it connects, do the
following commands:
** EVERYTHING IS CASE SENSITIVE **
mkdir /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/
then type: putfile
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/Default_CARRIER_ATT.png
then: putfile
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png
Turn your phone off, unplug it from your computer, then turn it back on.

April 11th, 2008 — iPhone Hacks, Tips and Tricks

Snapture is one of those “a taste of what’s to come” native apps that hint at some of the great iPhone applications that will be available in the Apple App Store this June.
