  • Added support for iOS 5.1.1, new iPad and iTunes 10.6.1.

  • Added support for iOS versions 4.2.6, 4.3 and 4.3.1 (apparently coming soon. A jailbreak for iOS 4.3+ is not yet available.)

New in iFuntastic 6.6.5 Beta 009 (Oct 18, 2010)

  • Added support for iOS 4.1.
  • Changes from 4.0 to 4.1 are minor.
  • The File Manager will work.
  • The list of preconfigured file locations may have inaccuracies and Widgetation (which depends on the screen dimensions) may have problems.

New in iFuntastic 6.6.5 Beta 008 (Aug 16, 2010)

  • Added support for iOS 4.0.2 and 3.2.2.

New in iFuntastic 6.6.5 Beta 007 (Jul 23, 2010)

  • Added support for iOS4, the firmware. iPhone 4, the device, has not been tested yet - the Widgetation page may have issues with the increased size of the retina display.
  • The display order (now with folders) and the application info files (for icons and names) have gotten very complex, and the potential number of applications very large.
  • Because of that, and since iTunes now supports rearranging of applications, iFuntastic's Home Screen Layout page has been retired. Wallpaper images and Home Screen Movies can now be set through the templates mechanism on the WinterBoard Themes page.
  • There, you will also find a couple of new additions: you can add gap applications (with invisible icons) to add some space between apps. You can also add an Hourly Chime to your WinterBoard themes which will do just that (unfortunately not after the phone has been asleep for a while. It appears to go into an even deeper sleep after a certain amount of time.)

New in iFuntastic 6.6.5 Beta 004 (Apr 26, 2010)

  • Fixes an incompatibility problem with the MobileDevice framework that comes with iTunes 9.1.
  • If your version of iFuntastic works, then you don't need this upgrade.

New in iFuntastic 6.6.5 Beta 002 (Oct 10, 2009)

  • Added support for firmware 3.1.2 (shackled devices - no jailbreak yet).
  • Fixed the Home Screen slideshow function on the Home Screen Layout page.

New in iFuntastic 6.6.5 Beta 001 (Sep 24, 2009)

New in iFuntastic 6.6.4 Beta 003 (Jul 20, 2009)

  • latest jailbreaking tools
  • added Emoji and Hide Clock support to the iFuntastic Support installation page

New in iFuntastic 6.6.1 Beta 001 (Apr 7, 2009)

  • Reduced the lag time for script execution (e.g. SpringBoard restart).
  • Sped up the rebuild of the application list.
  • Fixed a Display Order problem that caused a respring loop.
  • Taps on placeholders for the background image still open Safari, but don't display the 'Page not found' message anymore.
  • Conversion to .m4a, .m4r and .wav does not require iTunes anymore (and therefore leaves your music library alone).
  • Fixed setting artist and name tags in AAC files.
  • Fixed a custom ringtone naming bug.
  • Added ringtone conversion when copying into the standard ringtone list.
  • Added 'Open parent folder' to the item popup in the file manager; useful when looking at search results.

  • Added 'WinterBoard Theme Toggle' to the Jack the Scripter application options; one tap to toggle your favorite theme on or off.
  • Many more fixes and tweaks.

New in iFuntastic 6.5.0 Beta 001 (Feb 4, 2009)

  • added the backup/restore and execute functions to the new File Manager

  • stand alone File Manager window for easier drag and drop of any file or folder
  • reworked the Ringtones page; much faster and cleaner
  • new Jack the Clipper page - create and edit web clips; you can put a local mini multimedia website onto your device with a folder of text, PDF, HTML, song, image and movie files. The folder's contents will show as a list of links in Safari and each item can be viewed as you would expect. Are you an HTML wizard? Turn that mini website into a maxi website!
  • new Jack the Scripter page - create applications that run your shell scripts (only useful if you know your way around scripting)
  • completely reworked the image editor: better performance and a lot of new functionality
  • create up to 32 layers
  • layer kinds are image, text, color and gradient
  • layers can be linked and refer to the same text or image with different transformations (to make reflections and drop shadows)
  • each image layer can be used as a mask layer
  • layers can be grouped, so mask can be applied to an image without affecting the whole image
  • you can drag a snapshot into any other location at any time
  • your edits can be saved as image editor settings and then applied to other images (or to all application icons!)
  • editors contain lists of 'interesting' files for quick access to, say, the unlock sound or the 'slide to unlock' text

  • Changes & Improvements:
  • the Bit Pit uses the new file browser

  • File Manager: displaying App Store app names underneath their cryptic folders in the Applications folder.
  • WinterBoard Themes: showing individual images of 'multi-file' images; also auto-updating them after editing.
  • Carrier Logos: iFuntastic now tries to identify the current carrier and puts it at the top of the list; also putting the 'Unknown' carrier bundle at the top; if you have a carrier that's not in the list, changing the images in the 'Unknown' bundle may work.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • E-mail Signatures: yet another fix related to Umlaute; fixed a bug that caused iFuntastic to hang.
  • File Manager: dragging from the Finder into a 'replace/drop-in' field to replace the contents of a file now works.

New in iFuntastic 5.5.0 R002 (Jun 12, 2008)

  • In addition to some bug fixes in version r002, I added the capability to view your iTunes Music folder as a flat listing. This option is available from the Device path popup menu or when you navigate to the iTunes Music folder. Flat listing means all files that are grouped in subfolders (F00 and so on) with their cryptic four letter names are gathered into a single list. iFuntastic tries to get the artist and title information from the files - this works for .mp3, .m4a and .m4p formats only. The files are then grouped by artist and sorted alphabetically by name. When you drag a file from this list to another location, it gets copied as artist-title.

New in iFuntastic 5.0.0 R005 (Mar 17, 2008)

  • Home Screen fix - 'Skip Page if Empty' was not handled properly, sometimes resulting in continual SpringBoard restart due to too many applications
  • Fixed a crash in the 'Download Firmware' page

New in iFuntastic 5.0.0 R003 (Mar 9, 2008)

  • finally able to automatically recognize device and firmware
  • now displaying device capacity and IP address (the best I can)
  • rearranged the Setup Page; combined firmware downloads, added new functions (please read the associated info:)
  • Install BSD & SSH (without Installer.app - however, Installer is the preferred way)
  • Change SSH Password (also allows you to use ssh without typing your password every time)
  • you can now drag files into the file manager not only to add, but also to replace others (i.e. simplified 'Replace With...')
  • added a couple of functions to iFundex:
  • make a 'snapshot' file list of the phone or iPod
  • compare two snapshots - lists the files and folders that have been added or removed

New in iFuntastic 5.0.0 (Feb 29, 2008)

  • copies all files from the device to disk (great backup!)
  • converts graphics (.png) and property lists (.plist, .strings) into readable and editable format
  • quickly find files and folders by name, partial name or type with the shallow index
  • use the deep index for a full text search of all text and property list files
  • creates the Graphinder package
  • save search results as file sets for quick access
