Favored iPhone / iTouch apps:

Here are some favored apps as they are reported to or by us, (many require additional 'sources' to be added the the Installer program.)

(Please Note: 'BSD Subsystem' (UNIX code - available through the Installer**) is required by most third party apps.)

[ZiPhone 3.0 now installs the subsystem code by default.]

This is informational, install these programs through the Installer.app.  (You may need to add more sources to see these appear.)

Utilities:

BossPrefs - Fix Dir permissions, toggle SSH / Edge / WiFi / Bluetooth / Phone / Airplane / AFP modes on and off. (configurable.)

Also fixes DIR permissions, uses a 'dock' to conceal (or group) other apps, shows avail 'disk' space, and allows running from the home button.

BossTool - Move fonts, ringtones, third party apps to larger memory partition, it can also 'wipe' your device, if desired.  (Screenshots here.)

Categories - Group icons into folders. (Available through the "Community Sources" that come with Installer)  (Screenshots here.)

Customize 2.0 - Manage and backup themes, change sounds, and system text strings.  (Screenshots / walkthrough)

      Note: Customize dropped the option to add extra icons to the dock.  (Apple changed the file structure on 1.1.3 and above.)

      (You can manually edit a .plist file, -for firmware lower than 1.1.3)

Extended Preferences - Added additional preferences.  (Screen dimming, percentages for battery....)

       [Temporarily unavailable, too many found the app unstable.]
