oh no, that theme is called Leopard OSX... Categories is just an application you download on to a jailbroken iphone/touch that enables the folders.
Basically there is an app called Cydia which will install when you jailbreak and you download all the little programs like that through there.
Theres hundreds of other themes you can choose from to customise your look... |

Yeah, I've tried stack but I prefer categories tbh. Currently there's no support for 5 icons in your dock with stack and it only really works best with 2 icons in your dock which kinda defeats the object of the dock imo. Hopefully an update will be coming for it soon cos I really do like the flashy-ness of stack |

Thanks Ryan. I think I may need to pick your brain a lot more when I get the phone. Sorry in advance! |

As the excitement gathers for my iphone arrival, I was wondering what the best up-to-date football scores app is?
I've seen a fair few on app store but not sure what the best one is. |

iFooty is the one I use on my Touch and seems to be the most popular one. |

iFooty was good... and due to licensing issues with the BBC.. they have have been reducing the amount of info you can get through it...
Instead linking you straight to the BBC... Shame... I liked it alot...

I'm pretty disappointed with the internet experience on my 8GB iPhone.
Have you guys sussed out Safari yet? Either I'm missing a whole lot of shortcuts and workarounds or Safari is a dog.
Is there a way to save and recall username and password details?
I've downloaded iChalky from the App store and he keeps my kids amused for ages!

Regarding the footy score posts, if you're running a jailbroken iphone, you should try out SoccerGuide which you can download via Cydia. You can get live scores in landscape mode, latest news from bbc sport or premiershiplatest via the app itself, up coming fixtures etc. It seems to work pretty well
@carkitter, i've never had any issue with safari, but you're right..it doesnt seem to save the password in the box if you log out etc. So you either have to leave it logged in or just have to log in everytime. Perhaps it's something to do with security why it doesnt keep a log of passwords? |

Some of the websites I log into won't allow retention of username and password and that's ok, but some like Esato and my university Wifi login can be saved and easily recalled on my Opera browser and I really like this shortcut. Also Safari doesn't seem to retain previously viewed webpages meaning that when you go back a step, it needs to reload the page which slows down browsing and increases data usage. It's rumoured that firmware 2.2 will have improvements to Safari so I'll wait and see if that improves things.
If not, I'll probably give this iPhone to my wife and get a G705 instead. The main reason I got the iPhone was for internet via Wifi and the calls+txts+data plan meant I could lower my account costs by 2/3rds. I'll definately keep the plan just not the phone... isn't that ironic?

Right, after waiting for what seems like years I should hopefully have my officially unlocked iPhone by close of play Friday
I want to jailbreak it pretty soon after getting it using QuickPwn so have been doing some research.
But I'm a little confused as there are a few differing variations on the Jailbreak process.
I found this link which seems pretty straight forward http://www.theiphoneblog.com/[....]-jailbreaking-101-mac-edition/
But as I have an OFFICIALLY UNLOCKED iPhone will I need to do anything differently?
When carrying out the Jailbreak process should I leave my tmobile sim in the phone or take it out before?
Also, in Part 6 of the process from the link above it asks "if you would like to replace the original boot and recovery logos on your iPhone". I don't want to have the Pineapple logo and want to keep the original Apple logo. BUT by selecting NO will this mean that I won't have Cydia and Winterboard either?
Finally, was there a different Jailbreak process between firmware 2.0 and 2.1?
Thanks lads in advance.

Basically Quickpwn is so easy and only takes a minute or two. You'll just need to update, or make sure that the iphone is running the latest 2.1fw first, and literally run the program and it'll take you through the steps. If your iphone is already unlocked, just dont check the box which says 'unlock'.
If you dont want the boot or recovery logos, just simply uncheck the box and it'll just use the default Apple logos. Cydia and Installer wont be affected by either choosing or not choosing the boot logos. These are on seperate check boxes

Thanks Ryan.
But I don't anywhere in the Jailbreak process where you have the option to "Unlock"! Or am I blind???
Also, do I leave my sim in or out? |
