Here are some backgrounds you can use to replace the boring stock iPhone backgrounds. Upload the 3 files using your favorite sftp program into Applications/Weather.app. The Default.png file is the picture that briefly shows while the weather application is starting. All the files are pre-named and will overwrite your existing backgrounds. Download link below.

For people having problems with flash sms messages and need to delete the problem offender or just want to delete a particular SMS message without deleting the whole conversation, you can use this. Fire up Installer and download it thru there.

Description From The Site:

This is one of the missing feature in iPhone SMS application. I am sure Apple will add it sooner or later. But I wanted to learn objective C and things like that so I went ahead and did this.

It is really simple and unpolished as of now. When you start the app, you’ll see a list of SMS (latest on the the top). It will try to resolve the number from the address book and if a matching entry is not found then number is shown as it is. Just select the message that you want to delete and it will take you to the message screen where you can delete that message.

This method patches the MeCCA.framework file enabling you to use your own custom ringtones and survives synching thru iTunes unlike other methods.

Step 1. Patch the MeCCA.framework

Download the patched MeCCA file here.

Place the extracted file into /System/Library/Frameworks/MeCCA.framework replacing the previous file.

Reboot your iPhone.

Step 2. Create your ringtones

Use iTunes to convert sound file to AAC (.m4a), then rename the converted file to:

ringtone_name.m4r

Notice: there must be a space before .m4r, so, a ringtone named ringtone.m4a should be renamed to ringtone .m4r.

Upload the renamed ringtone file to /Library/Ringtones, it appears in Settings->Sounds->Ringtones list immediately.

Here’s a cool application that mimics the Leopard Stacks feature for your iPhone and iPod Touch. You’ll need to manually install this using your favorite sftp program as it’s currently not available on Installer. Download it thru Installer. More info here. Unfortunately the current programs are hard coded and there is no current way to choose which programs show up in your stack. I’m hoping the future versions will fix that.
