Junk includes app cache, cookies, temp files, error logs, etc., that are no longer required by the individual apps or the operating system as a whole. IOS devices may accumulate different types of junk over time. 8.1 Clear app-specific junk (for iOS versions lower than 8.3).8 Clear iOS app-specific junk (app cache, cookies, etc.).7 Clear iPhone, iPad junk using desktop clients.6 Flush iPhone memory (RAM) without any app.5 Clear iPhone, iPad memory using third-party app.4 Clean up iOS junk (cache, cookies, temp files) without any app.3 Clean up iOS junk files using third-party app.2 Clear app-specific junk from in-app settings.Not a big deal as I personally don't touch file properties very often. For example, if you want to set different properties for a file, you will have to use SSH. One thing SSH does that iPhoneBrowser doesn't is let you change the file properties. Furthermore, downloading a large file from the iPhone to your computer is much faster using iPhoneBrowser too as it transfers the file through the USB port of your computer.
When using SSH, you have to turn on SSH on your iPhone and open WinSCP on your PC whereas you just need to open iPhoneBrowser and plug in your iPhone to access your files when using iPhoneBrowser. Boy, it's as good as ever! I like iPhoneBrowser for one good reason: it's much faster than SSH.
I checked the Google Code page of iPhoneBrowser and realized it was recently updated so I decided to download it again. After updating to 2.0, iPhoneBrowser didn't work anymore so I kinda forgot about it until today.
I wrote in the past about iPhoneBrowser, this neat little piece of software that allows you to browse and manipulate your iPhone files without jailbreaking it. So unless you know that F0012-0848463 is the song "Lounge Act" by Nirvana from the album Nevermind, you'd never find out by yourself. What they don't tell you though is that you will not be able to know what files you're moving as music files are encoded and look like something like this F0012-0848463. Like iPhoneBrowser, DiskAid does NOT allow you to change file permission.ĭiskAid also pretends to transfer music files from your iPhone to your computer. One big benefit of using iPhoneBrowser over DiskAid is that iPhoneBrowser provides a file preview which is very helpful when editing themes or icons. * Supported firmware versions : 1.1.1 to 2.1 * Features rich file organization including folder creation, renaming. * Copy Files & Folders between your iPhone or iPod Touch and your Computer * Auto detection feature, just plugin it in ! * Supports iPhone 1, 3G and all iPod Touch
* DiskAid is a Freeware, 100% free of charge With DiskAid you can transfer files and folders between your iPhone or iPod Touch and your Computer.
Let's see what Digi DNA, the company behind DiskAid says about it:ĭiskAid is a tool for PC and Mac which enables to use your iPhone or iPod Touch as external Disk.
Now comes DiskAid, a free software which does most of what iPhoneBrowser does, but "most of" is not enough. This being said, it's gonna be hard for a new software to make me stop my relationship with iPhoneBrowser. It is easy and quick to use, especially if you want to play around with your themes or fonts. I think it is a beautiful theme that might get to stay on my iPhone for a while.Īfter SSH, I believe that iPhoneBrowser is the best way to manage your iPhone files. As you can see from the image above, Elegance really deserves that name. and voila!Įlegance includes a lock screen, custom slider, wallpaper, tons of icons, SMS background and more. In a couple minutes, I renamed the 5-6 icons that I needed. To edit some of the icon names, I plugged my iPhone to my computer and launched iPhoneBrowser. For example, the "Maps" icon is named Maps.png but it is named Mappe.png in Italian, and my iPhone didn't show it as it was looking for the English version. I had to manually customize this theme a little bit as it was created by an Italian designer and most of the icons were in Italian, which prevented my iPhone to recognize most of them and display them correctly. That is the case of a new theme that is available since this morning in Cydia called Elegance. I am not a big "theme guy" but from time to time, I find some very cool themes and I like to feature them on the blog.
