As a general rule with jailbroken iphones, do not install something that has not already been installed on at least a few hundred other iphones.\u00a0 Second rules, keep your phone backed up.<\/p>\n
I broke both of those rules and I’m now paying for it.<\/p>\n
First, I have been really lazy and have not backed up my iphone for at least 3 weeks.\u00a0 Not much has changed in 3 weeks, only added perhaps 1 or 2 numbers and as for pics, I always take them off the phone whenever I connect to a PC.<\/p>\n
So I decided to try an app (forgot the name but I will update it when I remember. I think it was called smart screen)\u00a0 Anyway, when I installed it, it did not work.\u00a0 So Friday I tried to disable it and do a respring.\u00a0 BRICK!!!\u00a0 Arrgg.. Right at the beginning of the weekend too! <\/p>\n
Oh well, so no major loss.\u00a0 Except for one thing..\u00a0 I let my brother in Sacramento borrow my Mac mini.\u00a0 So I have no way to put my old image back until he can zip and send me a copy of my itunes folder.\u00a0 Great.\u00a0 So now what?\u00a0 Well I hit the Apple store and did a restore.\u00a0 It took me to 3.1.3, but the Spirit jailbreak should take of that.\u00a0 However, I’m now sans all my apps and my contact.\u00a0 And here is one thing about Apple that really pisses me off.\u00a0 You cannot save your contact to the SIM!!\u00a0 Why not??\u00a0 Grrr..\u00a0 However, I have my address book saved through yahoo instead of iTunes, so I should be able to get most of my contact back.\u00a0 At least enough to hold me over until I get a copy of my itunes.<\/p>\n
So here is a list of first apps I load on a clean iPhone..<\/p>\n
1) Pandora.\u00a0\u00a0 The great thing about Pandora is when you reload pandora, even from a clean wipe, it remembers who you are so that you do not have to sign in again.\u00a0 SWEET!<\/p>\n
2) Tunein Radio.\u00a0 Covers my local News station; something I cannot live without when driving out of the city<\/p>\n
3) Facebook:\u00a0 I have to.\u00a0 The web version does not seem to remember my login and its kind of clunky.<\/p>\n
4) Opera:\u00a0 yea, I know, your surprised.\u00a0 But I use the website newSnacker.com and thus REALLY need the tabs that Opera offers.<\/p>\n
And that was it!\u00a0 Only 4.\u00a0 I used to play games on the iphone but I’ve burned out on that.<\/p>\n
So think about it.\u00a0 If you have to do a clean wipe on your iphone and start over.\u00a0 What would be the first apps you would load before even leaving the Apple store?<\/p>\n
Update.\u00a0 Banking apps.\u00a0 Now I do not use a banking app on my iPhone because I just do not trust it yet, but if I did I can totally see it.\u00a0 And perhaps a budget app if I was traveling.\u00a0 Recommendation I should add to my list??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
