Game Center Coming to iPhone 3G Through Jailbreak [CONFIRMED]

Yeah, you read it right! Game Center will be available for iPhone 3G (not compatible) as soon as iOS 4.1 jailbreak is released. That was confirmed by MuscleNerd, the well-know iPhone hacker behind the iPhone dev team. He answered someone asking him and the other hackers if Game Center will be available through jailbreak, and guess what?

Here's haPpy hArY asking MuscleNerd and other team members and iPhone hackers:

@chpwn @comex @MuscleNerd @pod2g @p0sixninja @iH8sn0w . . "will gamecenter for iphone 3g be available through jailbreak..???”

The helpful MuscleNerd answering him:

GreenPois0n to Jailbreak iPhone 4, iOS 4.1?

Now, here’s an interesting piece of news coming from pod2g. Remember GreenPois0n jailbreak tool for iPad which was never released from p0sixninja, GreenPois0n will be back again to jailbreak iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPad. Pod2g has hinted that he used the tool build by p0sixninja by running it on iPhone 4 and it works well.

Hey, @p0sixninja 's epic greenpois0n works well on iPhone 4G ! (need to work on the framebuffer code tho ! )

Greenpois0n jailbreak tool will be used as toolkit here alongside the latest bootrom exploit (SHAtter) by pod2g. This will save loads of time and cuts in jailbreak development of iOS 4.1 to half as Will Strafach points:

remember when we said greenpois0n would come to use later as a toolkit? using it to create this jailbreak is cutting our workload in half (or maybe more). that's why pod mentioned it.

It's not confirmed that the next jailbreak will be named GreenPois0n but at least the same code will be used to build the tool. Hackers are currently working hard to make the releases sooner than later, as usual, we will keep you informed by any updates about the tool.

iOS 4 Successfully Ported to HTC device [Video]

It looks like iOS 4 has been successfully ported to HTC device and everything in iOS 4 works like a charm on that HTC device. The porting of iOS 4 to any other device is a big for Apple. Every detail in iOS 4 works perfect on HTC although the slow performance on it, but remember, it was the same on iPhone 3G?

There's nothing more mentioned in the description, you can see notice every detail in the video. The language is set to be Chinese. Then can iOS 4 be ported to other devices too? [via iSpazio]

Cydia Acquiring Rock your Phone [Rock.app]

If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you might have heard about Cydia and Rock.app. They are both stores (the same as App Store) for 3rd party apps, themes, tweaks and everything you may want for your iPhone. Cydia was developed by Jay Freeman a.k.a Saurik, and registered under SaurikIT, LLC and is owned by Jay Freeman, and Rock.app is registered under Rock Your Phone, Inc and is owned by Mario Ciabarra.

Cydia was launched back in February, 2008 and Rock.app was launched later. Over the last two month, Jay Freeman & Mario Ciabarra was making a deal that has been finalized today. Cydia is acquiring Rock, in other words "Cydia Rocks".

After 10 days from now, most of the apps, tweaks, themes over at Rock.app will now be moved to Cydia, also users purchased apps from Rock.app will need to log in to Cydia to retrieve their purchased apps.

Honestly, I'm not satisfied with Rock.app as much as Cydia, but I was really surprised with the number below posted on Rock your Phone news:

• Number of Developers with apps listed in the Rock Store: 124 (from 19 countries)
• Unique iOS devices that installed Rock: 4.6 million (from 220 countries/territories) - Wow that is a lot of places!
• Registered Rock Users: 2+ million
• Number of App licenses sold: 500,000
• Users of who took the plunge and bought something: 280,000 (from 185 countries)
• Total Rock Your Phone Store revenue (March 12th, 2009 - September 2010): $3.3+ million
• Number of Rock Employees (we are using the word employee loosely here but, hey, it is our company): 9

Pretty impressive.. Isn’t it? Well, merging of the communities will bring a lot of benefits especially that users don't like the ads everywhere in Rock.app. [via Modmyi]
