Ste Packaging

I’ve just added and/or updated the following application packages for the iPhone and/or iPod Touch:

Cydia Packager apps for the 2.0 (and higher) OS:

1. [new] iPoints (1.1) [Calculate Weight Watcher points.]

I’ve just added and/or updated the following application packages for the iPhone and/or iPod Touch:

Cydia Packager apps for the 2.0 (and higher) OS:

1. [new] Pushr (0.7) [Upload pictures to your Flicr account, from your Camera Roll album.
2. [new] HebDict (1.10) [Hebrew <--> English dictionaries for use with App Store's WeDict app.]

Today I figured out how to repackage the dictionary packages so they can be used by the WeDict app which is now in App Store (I host it for the <=1.1.4 firmware).

I’ve only done one so far, but now that it’s done, I can easily crank out others. So look for many more to come.

I’m currently making just Cydia packages of them. The upcoming, in-development, Installer 4 will require a feature enhancement before I can port these packages to it.

The first one:

• Merriam-Webster (Merriam-Webster 10th dictionary)
  

Update: to use these:

1. Install WeDict from App Store, if you haven’t already.
2. Install the add-on dictionary package.
3. Make sure all the dictionaries are selected for use, in WeDict’s settings.
4. Enjoy.

(If you don’t select all the installed dictionaries for use, I have noticed that WeDict will list words found in unselected dictionaries, as well as in the selected ones. Selecting a word from the list, that is in an unselected dictionary, gets you a blank page. Therefore, I recommend just selecting all installed dictionaries and avoiding this issue. If it lists the word, you can be sure to get the definition this way.)

Update: I added another:

• C.I.D.E. (The Collaborative International Dictionary of English)

I’ve just added and/or updated the following application packages for the iPhone and/or iPod Touch:

Cydia Packager apps for the 2.0 (and higher) OS:

1. [new] SMSNotify (2.0) [Buzzes in your pocket periodically when you have unread SMS or Voicemail. Three buzzes for SMS, two for Voicemail. Disabled when the device is plugged in or not sleeping.

I just wanted to let you know that I’m still here and still ready to host your applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I still have an Installer repository that serves the needs of the many users who have not upgraded their devices to the 2.0+ firmware. I’m beta testing the new Installer 4 and its repository code, for the 2.0 firmware and, while not ready for primetime just yet, it will be ready soon enough. I’ll be happy to host your 2.0+ firmware apps in it.

I also have a Cydia repository that currently serves users of both <=1.1.4 and 2.0+ firmware. Right now, I only have a few packages for 2.0+ however, as a large number of the apps I host for <=1.1.4 have moved to App Store for 2.0+. Additionally, many of the packages I hosted for <=1.1.4 have been orphaned by apps that moved to App Store (think all my dictionary, pronunciation and book packages).

Whether or not I have hosted for you in the past, I’d like to host for you now.

The jailbreak community isn’t going away and neither am I.

Let’s work together, eh?
