iFuntastic goes v3, adds PPC support

While iPhone hacking remains a sport for the brave, the utility infrastructure to give Grandma iPhone User the same tweaking power as the most l33t denizen of #iphone is coming along nicely, thanks. Now at version 3, iFuntastic provides a GUI for almost any iPhone modification task you might reasonably want to do to your ($500, possibly instantly out-of-warranty) iPhone.
New features in this version include: PowerPC support, so G4 and G5 users may join in the fun; a 'permanent jailbreak' tool called Unshackling; multiple, editable home screen layouts with custom wallpaper; and simplified/improved ringtone installation. You can download iFuntastic (needless to say, use at your own risk) from iPhoneAlley or Macenstein and go to town.

I tried it yesterday, it has some bugs. The added icons would not dissapear. I would suggest to wait for an updated version

August 30 2007 at 6:33 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYup.. power of choice. I actually have a much cleaner interface now because of this program. I don't care about stocks and my less used applications are on a page 2. Brillant. And for all you haters, wait till there is an app you want, then you'll be scrambling to find this. This app just unlocks the phone so the open source community can play. Rock on.

I know myspace kids don't care what I think of their pages. That wasn't my point. The point is, this is an awesome piece of software that puts the power in the hands of the people, and what do people do with that power? They take ten f***ing steps backward, and make their device (web page, computer, life) far less usable/attractive/functional. I can bring a 2.4ghz MBP with 3gb of ram down to its knees simply by visiting a few friends' myspace pages...how's that ARM processor gonna fare when iFuntastic starts allowing animated gifs as wallpapers? To each their own, I firmly believe in the concept...I just wish the world still held artistry and taste.
The iPhone in the screen shot above is brought to you by the letters ADHD.
If you can't figure out how to use this app then you definitely should not be moding your iPhone. I find this to be such a great way to do things that Apple should have allowed us to do from day one. Sure there are some quirks, but I am so thankful that people have taken the time to create such a great application. It will only get better.
