LogoMe 1.0.3 - Change your boot logo image right from your iPhone

Available In: Cydia

LogoMe is an application that allows you to change your boot logo image right from your iPhone or iPod Touch (no need to restore, rejailbreak or use an application on your computer). When you install LogoMe, you will get the main screen. When you open the application it will download all the “necessary files.” Once it is finished, you can select the Select Logo option on the lower menu bar. From here you will need to enter a url in which the image is located (see screenshots below). Once you have entered the url, select Download.

Once the image is downloaded, you can then select the Install Logo option on the lower menu bar. From here you can Preview your image or Install your image. If you select Preview, you will get a nice preview of what your boot screen will look like. If you select Install, it will flash your new firmware (this will take a minute or two so don’t panic!). Once it has finished flashing your new firmware all you need to do is close the application and restart your iPhone…you will see your new boot logo image. If you would like to change your boot logo again, you can just go into LogoMe and enter a new url and Install it. It really is a very simple and painless way to change your boot logo. Neither Doug nor I had any issues using this application. Though, we did find the images to be a little on the pixilated side but it was not too bad.

Pano(graphic) Photos On The iPhone

Snapture which brought professional camera features, Cycorder which brought video recording and apps like Qik and Flixwagon that have brought live video broadcasting have made iPhone’s camera a lot more fun to use than its very basic camera app.

Unfortunately these apps are only available for the jailbroken iPhone so they are still out of reach for iPhone users who are not technically inclined.

Till we don’t see jailbreak apps like Qik etc on the App Store which we hear could be soon, iPhone users can checkout iPhone apps like Debacle Software’s Pano for some fun. It allows you to create panoramic photos as seen below from multiple photos right on the iPhone.

Pano is developed by Debacle Software, a three-man operation consisting of Adam Cohen (image processing guru), Julian Lepinski (iPhone developer), and Eric Akaoka (graphic designer).

With Pano you will no longer need to use applications on your computer to merge the photos manually to create panoramic photos, you can create panoramic photos from multiple photos (up to 4) on your iPhone.

How to use Pano?

Taking panoramic photos using Pano is very simple. After you have installed Pano on your iPhone from the App Store, launch it from your iPhone’s home screen.

At this point, you are prompted to take your first photo. You start off by taking the left most photo. After taking a photo, it will prompt you to either use the photo or retake the photo.

If you choose to use the photo, it will prompt you to take the next photo. While taking the second photo, Pano gives you a reference of the first photo by overlaying the transparent version of the right-hand part of the first photo. This feature is extremely useful in aligning the photos.

You need to repeat this procedure for four photos. You can hit cancel at any point if you want to make a panoramic photo by stitching less than 4 photos.

When you are done, Pano stitches the four photos together to create a panoramic photo by performing the image blending as well as some auto color correction. The panoramic photo created is saved in iPhone’s camera roll.

Conclusion:

I really liked Pano’s simple user interface. As you can see from the photos posted on Panorama’s Flickr group, the paramoic photos that have been created using Pano look quite good.

Pano costs $2.99 and you can download it from this App Store link.

Unlocked iPhone 3G Scam in India

Seems like some unlucky people are being tricked into buying what they think are legally unlocked iPhone 3G’s when in fact they are getting locked iPhone 3G’s that have been opened up and have a Sim Hack like RebelSim etc hardwired into the phone. Upon Opening one of these phones after a restore with iTunes that left the users device unactivated, he found that his phone was opened up before being sold to him and a Sim Hack was stuck in there and wires from the contact are soldered onto the sim card reader in the iPhone 3G.

Buyers Beware
