First of all, sorry for my english, I am from Romania so english is not my native language.
I decided to make a topic about my iPhone ; This not a review, I am not going to talk about the pros and cons, iOS vs. Android and bla bla bla.
In this topic I will show you my phone, my apps, my UI and so on. I haven't seen a topic like this on MacRumos so I though "The hell with it, I'm going to make one". So yea, you don't have to read it but if you do I hope you like it. (and I really hope that this topic will not get lost in the archives and nobody will be interested in it)
About me : (if you care)
I'm 19 years old and I live in a medium city in Romania at the border with Hungary. The city is called "Oradea" or "Oradea-Mare" (the second name is an old name)
I'm in the last year of high school and currently deciding at wich University I would like to go.
Besides that, I am an iPhone user since 2007 ; had all the models except the iPhone 4S and a Macintosh user since 2008 and an Apple TV user since 5 days ago.
I like Rock & Techo music (weird combination, huh ?), food (I'm not fat, just big boned. LOL) and technology !
"Intro" :
I have a black 16GB iPhone 5 purchased from Orange Romania (my carrier). Actually, now I'm using a refurbished iPhone 5 (perfect condition) wich my carrier gave me because a couple of weeks ago my lock button failed on the first iPhone.
I bought the first iPhone 5 on 2 November (Launch day in Romania) and it was in perfect condition - no scuffs, scratches etc. (just like the refurbished one I got a couple of weeks ago).
I paid for it 349$ with a 2 year contract (39$ per month / unlimited internet, 2000 minutes, 2000 texts messages).
I don't have any cases or screen protectors, I like my phone to be naked. I really dont care about scratches or scuffs or anything ; I just want the damn thing to work.
iOS, jailbreak, hacks, tweaks :
My iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.2) is jailbroken - I am a huge fan of jailbreaking.
I am not a huge fan of themes nor UI customization, I like simple yet usefull tweaks.
My tweaks are :
Activator
ColoredKnob
Bolt
f.lux
Flashorama
FullForce
IconRenamer
iFile
FakeClockUp
Fix Brightness for 6.x
f.lux
MuteIcon
NCSettings
SimpleDate in NC (or smth like that)
Safari Download Manager
Springtomize
StatusBarCustomClock4
SubtleLcok
RespringCacheFix
Torch
Topography for Google Maps
Webscrollian
Zephyr
OpenSSH
3G Unrestricor
*the phone is still fast (damn the A6 is so powerful) but the battery life is *****.
As I was saying, not a huge fan of UI customization. I always had the default wallpaper, default NC background - pretty much everything is default except the Lockscreen and the Icons Layout.
(For the LS I'm using Subtle Lock and ColoredKnob - at the moment, CK is off)
App Store Apps & Games :
This is a BIG one !
I like to play games on this device ! The A6 is so fast and the 4" Retina display is awesome.
The games I'm playing right now :
Max Payne / GTA Vice City / Carmageddon / Need for Seed Most Wanted / Rayman Jungle Run / Sonic Dash / Jetpack / Canabalt / Filedrunners 2 / Scramble / Letterpress / Blackjack.
**(a couple of days ago Real Racing 3 stopped saving progress so I deleted it. WTF ? I liked that game)
Add me on Game Center : .hamilton
Besides gaming, I love the Apps on iOS.
So, here it goes :
*random order
Utilities :
DropBox / Converter / Bump / XE Currency / JotNot / Measures / Mailbox / Mountainbike / Google Maps / Airport Utility / Find my iPhone / iTeleport / File Manager.
Social :
WhatsApp / Facebook / Facebook Messenger / IMDb / Cinemagia (Romanian version of IMDb) / Pulse / Google+ / 9Gag / Foursquare / Skype / Instagram / Tapatalk 2.
Photography :
iPhoto / Camera+ / Snapseed / TimeLapse / Ditipic / Phoster.
Multimedia :
YouTube / Tune IN Pro / CineXPlayer / Shazam / SoundHound / SoundCloud / TVRO Express (Romanian Internet TV).
The End :
So this me and this is my iPhone. I hope you liked it !
