Kernel Panic » iClassic http://blog.epelaez.net ~Keep It Simple Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:11:01 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 iClassic 1.5 released http://blog.epelaez.net/02/iclassic-1-5-released/ http://blog.epelaez.net/02/iclassic-1-5-released/#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2010 04:52:15 +0000 Pelaez http://blog.epelaez.net/?p=756 iClassic 1.5 has hit the Cydia Store.

This is what the update includes:

  • Greatly improved theming system: Themes are now stored in a different folder and you can preview and apply them on the app itself. For more about themes, go here.
  • Bug report mail form inside the app.
  • Some extra settings.
  • Bugfixes

What was left out:

  • Podcasts, Audiobooks and Genres were left out until the next version. The reason: adding them with the current system would be painful, and so the menu system  is going through a rewrite to be a lot more flexible and faster.

Enjoy!

And what a better present than releasing a widely expected app that has been a success on the iPhone Jailbreaking scene.

A big thank you to all of you who did buy the app, and for those who didn’t, consider doing it if you like it! We’re not a big company (we’re not a company at all!), and it would encourage us to bring you updates and more cool apps (Our apps are only getting better!).

Either way, enjoy it!

If you don’t know what iClassic is, you can look here.

Now, a little something you should know: to avoid any legal action against us, we had to make some changes on how iClassic looks. However, we made sure it was easily themeable (the images you need to theme are 5), so users can submit their themes to Cydia to customize the look of the app (There might be a couple, already).

Eventually, the support for themes will be a lot better, and I’ll add a guide on how to make them.

So, head to Cydia with your Pay Pal account and get it, it’s only 2 bucks!

Some cool stats:

  • Since we made it public, the iClassic page of this website has gotten 2600+ visits.
  • The average visits to this blog was multiplied by 20.
  • My twitter follower count went from 33 to 102.
  • The app has been featured in more than 15+ different sites (it’s not easy to count because not all of them are linking to us)
  • Our thread in iPodTouchFans.com has more than 16 000 visits and over 200 replies.

The app is going into the Cydia Store, which is run by Saurik. To have the package on the Cydia Store, we need to give our payment details to Saurik, and I’m guessing he has to do stuff on his server, before we send the package for hosting (it will be on BigBoss’ repo, btw).

And that’s the problem. Saurik is unreachable. We’re assuming, from his last tweet, more than a week ago, that he’s still on Germany, but it’s just a guess, the fact is that he’s not answering. (I read somewhere that we were waiting for Saurik’s approval. That’s not the case).

Please understand, however, that it’s not Saurik’s fault, he probably has important things to do, and  we can’t blame him for that, so I’ll ask anybody who ever thought of trying to contact him to complain, DON’T. If you e-mail him, you’ll only bury our e-mails even more, and a lot of people tweet to him already, don’t spam him more for no reason.

Finally, the app is working, and we’ve sent review versions to some people (3, as of right now), and until Saurik answers, I won’t have any updates. When he does, I’ll announce it, and it shouldn’t take longer than a day for the app to be available.

PS. I know there are other stores (like the Rock app), but we’re gonna stick with Cydia Store. If anybody deserves a share of our profit, that’s Saurik, also, the Rock app requires you to install a bunch of stuff and we don’t want to force you to have on your device.

It’d be a lot of help if you helped me spread the word for this, by clicking in one of the “Share and Enjoy” buttons below!
