Dammit, 3.1.2 didn't fix my ALOD.

 

[RubxQub]

I don't see what the problem would be, duder. Do it!!

Just don't want it to get insta-closed after putting in all the effort cause there's already an official thread is all.

If enough people want it, I think it'd definitely be worth making...if for no other reason than to limit the number of repeated questions.

 

[Veidt]

I'm down with it too.

I think it'd be a justifiable and tidy thread considering how packed this one is. Idk, make the opening post clear to the mods so they understand the point. We can't update the OP in this one since the thread maker is perma banned.

 

[DarkJC]

It would be different if the OP was still around and active enough to update the OP, but since he's banned, I definitely think there should be a new thread.

Make sure the OP has a recommended cases and a "check out these apps" section at the very least :lol

EDIT: Btw, Tweetie 2 was just posted on iTunes, for those who are interested

I'm looking for a personal finance app.

Here's what I want:
- Ability for a monthly or periodical budget and to show if I've overspent or underspent.
- Ability to hold multiple accounts and their balances, including debt and assets.
- Ability to handle recurring transactions (IE Bill on the first of every month for <x>, Bill every second monday for <x>, etc).
- Ability to classify manually entered transactions by expense category. Food, Transportation, etc. Ideally it would also hold vendor and have a subcategory, so I can put: Food -> Groceries -> Wal-Mart, or Food -> Lunch -> Taste of Thai.
- Ideally would allow me to take photos of my receipt and attach to the expense.
- Password lock would be nice.

I'm currently using iXpenseIt, which doesn't seem to hold account balances or handle recurring transactions. It also occasionally crashes.

Free is better than pay.

Any suggestions?

This thing is so fucking slick.

 

[RubxQub]

Alright, I have the first draft of the new OP ready and made and I think it's decent enough to post.

Final yay/nay on the new thread...go!

 

[Blackhead]

This thing is so fucking slick.

OH wow, it got the Liu Kang seal of approval. So this is a must buy huh

 

[RubxQub]

This is the new OP, btw.... I'm just looking for iPhone Official Thread user approval (and mod approval if possible) before I create the new thread. Not sure if everyone wants one or not.

Welcome to the new official thread! Everyone seemed to agree that the last thread was not only monstrous, but the OP always really did nothing (banned user), while it could be providing useful information! I intend to be keeping this OP full of relevant information as well useful links as things change.

Feel free to recommend things to add to the OP to make this as useful as possible.

Latest Update Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the best apps for this device now that I've got one?
A: Check out the app threads in the links section below.

Q: How do you jailbreak or unlock my device?
A: Check out the GeoHot pages or the Dev-Blog pages in the links section below.

Q: How do I change my icons and backgrounds?
A: You must jailbreak your device and install various programs from Cydia.

Q: How do I rearrange my icons on the device?
A: You can do this either through iTunes by clicking your device when it's connected and clicking on the "Apps" tab, or on your device itself by pressing and holding on an icon until it starts shaking, then shift it around. Press the Home button when you are done.

Q: How do you take a screenshot with your device?
A: Hold in the Home button and tap the Power button. Picture will appear in your camera roll under the Pictures app.

Q: Sound is only coming out of one side on my phone (I see two holes, but only one is making noise). Is something broken?
A: No, the left hole is a speaker, the right hole is the microphone.

Q: What case should I get for my device?
A: I personally don't think you need one. They heat up your device more than it should and add bulk. The screens are naturally very scratch resistant and being super thin is one of the best parts about these things. If you really want a case, I think these guys have awesome ones.

Q: When are they coming out with new iPhones?
A: Always check the MacRumors Buyer's Guide before purchasing an iPhone (or any Apple product for that matter)

Q: Will I have to pay for major OS updates on my iPod Touch?
A: Always assume that yes, you will.

Looks good.

 

[jonnybryce]

Looks awesome, but one thing. People will still ask for more case recommendations since you only listed one. You should just add on a few more, like Speck, Otterbox, iSkin, whatever to give them more options to let. this. question. die.

Nice OP!

Under Hotkeys, I would add something about the 'doubletap the home button while locked to bring up iPod functions.' A lot of people ask me why the iPod stuff suddenly shows up on their screen.

It's in there under "Custom Settings".
