iPhone Backup Decoder Script v2.1 (iPhone misc)

iTunes stores a backup of some of the iPhone files on your computer. This script will extract these files so that you can view and edit them.

The script does not currently support re-encoding.

Make a copy of your ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ and run the script against the *.mdbackup files. The script will create a MobileSyncExport folder which will contain the extracted files.

Currently supports Mac OS X. Tested on Python 2.3.5 and upwards.

The output is a folder full of plist and SQLite databases. If that doesn’t mean anything to you or you don’t know how to use Terminal to run a python script, this script will not be of use to you.

VLC4iPhone v0.9.9 (Beta) (iPhone Application)

ZodTTD has posted some work in progress news about his VLC port to the iPhone.

Quote:

A small but very important update has been made to the vlc4iphone beta.

All beta testers of vlc4iphone should update!

Here’s what is new in vlc4iphone v0.9.9 BETA:
– A bug was fixed that prevented many users from playing most their files! If a file didn’t play before, be sure to try now!
– The bug preventing iPod Touch users from changing the volume has been fixed.

This update is highly recommended, as most files were being skipped in a playlist, played out of sync, or not played at all!

Next up…a gpSPhone update,
ZodTTD

VLC4iPhone v0.9.8 (Beta) (iPhone Application)

ZodTTD has posted some work in progress news about his VLC port to the iPhone.

Quote:

While being a bit sick with a bad cold for the past week, I decided to get some work done on vlc4iphone. I have just released vlc4iphone v0.9.8 for firmware 2.0+ to beta testers.

vlc4iphone is a port of VLC to the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is a media player application that supports a wide variety of codecs, such as DivX/XviD, MP3, OGG, FLAC, MOV, WMV, FLV, etc. as well as streaming video and audio via HTTP, MMS, and (experimental) RTSP.

What’s new in this version:
– Now runs on firmware 2.0+.
– Improved user interface.
– Tons of bug fixes.
– Added experimental support for RTSP streaming.
– Improved playback performance in some decoders such as DivX/XviD.

Things to be aware of in this beta:
– For some users there seems to be some issues with volume in this release. Either volume can’t be changed, or there is a complete lack of volume. This is a high priority bug and I’m looking into it.

Once I iron out these last bugs, a public 1.0.0 release will be made.

Thanks,
ZodTTD

gpSPhone v2.1.0 (GBA emu for iPhone)

ZodTTD posted some news about gpSPhone, a GBA emulator for the iPhone.

Quote:

Today I felt well enough to get gpSPhone ported over from firmware 1.1.4 and earlier to 2.0.

I have added gpSPhone v2.1.0 BETA to the ZodTTD Cydia Beta repo for firmware 2.0. ZodTTD.com Beta Testers have immediate access to this release.

While this release is fully functional, I have chosen to release it as a beta as it is fairly untested across a wide range of games.

Here’s what is new:
– Now runs on firmware 2.0.
– No longer blits the controller skin every frame!
– Fixed the sound buffering, though it can still get a bit out of sync.
– Removed code that could make games appear “choppy”.

The GBA BIOS is not included. Remember to add the GBA BIOS, as it is required! Place it at /Applications/gpSPhone.app/gba_bios.bin

For those who know how to use md5sum, gba_bios.bin should be: a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6

More firmware 2.0 goodness to come!

iPhone Google Maps Component (r12) (iPhone misc)

iPhone Google Maps Component is a component that you can add to your iPhone application to access all basic features of Google Maps (similar to Android’s MapView). It uses a UIWebView in the background to load the HTML/Javascript version of Google Maps, and offers a set of Objective-C methods that mimic a subset of the original Javascript methods for controlling the map. It currently supports setting the center location, and zooming & panning using the touch interface.
