How to Easily Free up Memory

Apple's release of iOS 4 brings multitasking, though this can be helpful in some situations, it can get annoying that apps that you have only opened for a moment are left running in the background, taking up valuable resources and speeding up the drain on your battery.

The jailbreak add-on for SBSettings, Processes, aims to solve this problem by giving the user an easier way to close apps running in the background. Processes even goes farther than closing apps by closing up unneeded services and resources.

  1. Make sure you are jailbroken. (How do I do that?) And that you are on or at an above firmware of 3.0. (How do I check?)
  2. Open Cydia, go to Search, type in SBSettings. Download and install SBSettings. (Respring device if necessary).
  3. Now slide your finder from left to right on the statusbar (the bar found at the very top section of the screen).
  4. Tap on More (middle-left section of the screen).
  5. Now, tap on Set Toggles.
  6. Turn on Processes.
  7. Press the home button and let your device respring.
  8. Open SBSettings, tap on the Processes icon. 
Once you've accessed the Processes section, you can close out apps easily and the press FREE UP MEMORY at the bottom to clear out your free memory in 5 seconds.

How to Install Frash - Flash Player for Newer Devices (Update)

Earlier this week, Comex gave us another preview to Frash - a port of Flash from Android devices to the iPad.

Now you can install Frash to your iPad, iPhone 3GS, or newer device. The current build of Frash contains some bugs like not being able to play Flash video but it almost perfectly plays Flash games.

Update: Frash has been ported for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G (16GB, 32GB, and 64GB), and also iPod touch 2G (MC models).

1. Make sure you are jailbroken. (How do I do that?)

2. Download the Frash (a Google search of frash-0.01.deb will get you the file). If you are installing Frash on any device besides iPad, use frash-0.02.deb.
3. Open your device through OpenSSH (How do I do that?)

4. Navigate to /var/root/Media.


5. Now create a new folder called "Cydia". Open that folder.

6. Create a new folder inside of Cydia called "AutoInstall".

7. Copy the downloaded frash.deb file into the AutoInstall folder.


8. Fully restart your device (you may have to do it more than once if it doesn't work the first time)

9. Now open Safari and go to a site with Flash content, an "F" will come up where the Flash content should be. Tap on the F to start the Flash content.

Activate iPhone without Original SIM (Hacktivate)

Sherif Hashim has found a simple solution to a widespread and difficult to solve problem for all iPhone users, activation.

If you've bought an iPhone, you know that once you open it up, it doesn't start up like and begin working, Apple requires that you insert your AT&T SIM card and then verify it with iTunes, this can be a hassle to get around if you bought the iPhone without a contract from AT&T.

The process of activating the phone without using an AT&T SIM card is known as 'hacktivating'. Previously, jailbreaking was needed to hacktivate the iPhone.

Sherif Hashim's solution is to use a Phonebook SIM to active your iPhone. This kind of a SIM card can be found at a local electronics store like Radioshack (or you can even borrow it from them and not have to pay for it). The one Hashim used can be found here, but any kind will work.

This works for any kind of iPhone including iPhone 2G (original), iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4.
