iPhone OS 3.0 has provided lots of features that were missing in earlier version of iPhone OS. There is still a missing feature for deleting individuate call record. I have used weTool to perform this action in past. It seems that weTool is no longer available for iPhone OS 3 onward.
CallClear is a replacement for weTool up to some extent. It allows you to delete individual call record one by one from call history. CallClear is available on Cydia.
I am big fan of cycorder video recorder. Recorder very well adds the missing feature of recording in iPhone 2G, 3G.
It really sucks at times when one records a video and try to play this and it displays a message that video can’t be played.
As of now there is no solution present as per my knowledge . There is some hope after seeing road map on Saurik’s site. It may take a month or two for the next release. So don’t delete your important videos, which are corrupted. You can be able to play them after a while .
With OS 3.0, iPhone 3G users got MMS feature along with many awaited features. iPhone 2G users got all the features except MMS.
I don’t know the exact reason why Apple has not provided this to iPhone 2G users. There is no harware limitation for this feature in iPhone 2G.
There is app available for activating MMS in jail broken iPhone 2G. To activate MMS on jail broken iPhone, follow the instructions below.
1. Open Cydia and go to search tab.
2. Type ActivateMMS2G in search box and you’ll get ActivateMMS2G application from iSpazio.
3. Tap on install and confirm the installation.
4. After successful installation, Cydia will exit and reboot the device.
5. Go to Message application, you’ll notice camera icon.
6. Take some picture or use any existing picture from your galary. Send it to your friends.
7. Done!!!
hClipboard is another copy paste application in jailbroken iPhones. To install this application, go to
1. Cydia installer (Make sure that you have 2.2 firmware)
2. Search for “hclipboard”
3. You’ll see it listed in the search result.
4. Install the application.
To enable hClipboard, Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International > Enable hClipboard.
After enabling hClipboard, you’ll find a globe symbol in keyboard window. Tap on it and start playing with it. It stores text in two forms. One as clipboard and another in the form of template. You can store up to 10 clipboards and deleted the unwanted in iPhone’s native way of deleting a text. Though you don’t have any limitation in templates. You can store as many as you wants, this can be used in storing email, mobile number or user name for some sites which you use very frequently.
There is no doubt that in terms of functionality it is the most advance application present so far but I didn’t like the technique it used to select text. Its doesn’t meet iPhone standards. Clippy is another copy/paste application which uses better technique to select text.
