The Creeps Cheat Pocket God

Pocket God‘s creators have been doing some sneaky cross-promotion lately, allowing their happy little Pygmy Islanders to pop up in other developer’s games as secret unlockables. The latest, and coolest such Pocket God came is is one of my favorite games, The Creeps! Whether you’re a fan of Pocket God, or if you just want a couple new Creeps to battle, this hint is sure to add hours to the already enjoyable gameplay of the Creeps! Read the rest of this entry »

OK, I teased briefly about the Hidden 10th iPhone app screen that would allow you to get past the 148 app limit on the iPhone, and I will reveal its secrets here in a tip I know many of you have been waiting for someone to tell you – namely, How to delete Apple’s official apps from the iPhone?

We all know that holding down an application’s icon on the iPhone will cause them all to wiggle – thus allowing you to rearrange the icons on your screen as well as delete 3rd party apps from your iPhone (by clicking that the little “X” icon in the corner). Apple’s official iPhone apps, however (Calculator, iTunes, Stocks, Phone, etc.), lack this button, and until now most of you likely just figured Apple’s default set of apps were undeletable – destined to stay on your home screens forever, taking up valuable real estate and mocking you with their “We ain’t going anywhere” smugness.

Well, this is not entirely true, as I have discovered that yes, removing these apps IS possible (sort of), and it involves invoking the iPhone’s hidden 10th Home page. Here’s how to do it: Read the rest of this entry »

How To: Use the Dock to quickly move your Apps
posted by: Dr. Macenstein in iPhone Tips on 09 10th, 2008 | | 5 Comments »

It’s no secret that I have had quite a few crashes with my iPhone since upgrading to the 2.0.2 firmware, and subsequently I have spent more than my fair share of time moving application icons from page to page trying to get things arranged how they were “pre-crash”. On top of that, often updating an app will cause it to move to the first open space on your iPhone, even if that spot is on page 1 and the app used to be on page 3. If, like me you often have 3, 4, 8 (or more) full pages of apps to rearrange after each crash, this time can quickly add up, as dragging an app between pages will push all the apps down one spot.

Luckily for you, I have discovered an easy trick that will help save you a ton of time the next time you need to move an application’s position between pages without messing up all the pages in between. Here’s how: Read the rest of this entry »
