Easy jailbreaking of iPhone 3G

I did it using Spirit on a Mac. It’s definitely easier now than the iPhone OS 2.x era — that is, no more of setting the phone in “Restore mode” and running a bunch of commands.

This time it was as easy as downloading, running the app, and clicking the “Jailbreak” button, which, by the way, took less than a minute to complete. Once done, the iPhone will reboot and it’s back to normal.

Check it out. Happy iPhone’ing!

Create custom ringtones for the iPhone with your Mac

I found instructions on how to create ringtones via iTunes, but found an easier way using GarageBand.

These instructions, BTW, only work on a Mac.

I’m not going to include the nitty-gritty details, but all you have to do is:

1. Open GarageBand (4.11) and iTunes (7.5 and up).
2. Drag-and-drop the song you want to turn into a ringtone.
3. Turn on “Cycle” and set the start end end times (usually 30 seconds).
4. Click on Share | Send Ringtone to iTunes.
5. You simply need to sync the Ringtones with your iPhone and that’s it.

Enjoy and choose an awesome ringtone, please.
