iPhone homebrew: Let's See clear Winterboard theme
WinterBoard has certainly opened up a lot of new avenues for customization on the Apple iPhone, but it's a bit of a hassle when you can't even see your cool new wallpaper since it's been covered by all your app icons.That's where clear icon themes come in. They use clear icons so you can still see your iPhone's wallpaper even when your phone is packed with apps. One of these is Let's See, a free new WinterBoard theme that you can get on Cydia.Let's See works like a charm, but since it uses a full icon cache, there's always the chance that one of your app icons doesn't have a corresponding clear icon included in the theme pack. If that happens, you'll see the default icon for the app.Don't worry, though. Let's See's developer Tizocman has been kind enough to accept icon requests from users.

iPhone homebrew: dTunes v2.5 now with Torrent support
There's a new version of dTunes out, bringing the homebrew iTunes replacement up to version 2.5. The big news about this release is the introduction of Torrent support.The app's Torrent support feature comes via iTorrentRelay, the only Torrent client for firmware 2.0 and higher iPhones so far. What's even cooler is that it also converts any media file to a format suitable for the iPhone and iPod Touch upon downloading.The catch here is that although dTunes is free, iTorrentRelay isn't. It's a subscription service that costs US 9.99 a month. Of course, if you can't spare the cash, you can still use this version of dTunes without using the Torrent support feature.As usual, you can download dTunes on Cydia.Related articles:dTunes v2.4: iTunes homebrew alternative for iPhoneiPhone homebrew: dTunes v2.3

iPhone Backgrounder: run multiple iPhone apps at once
Here's a useful new addition to the wealth of iPhone homebrew apps out there. iPhone Backgrounder is a code application that lets you run multiple iPhone apps at once. That means even if you exit, say, Pandora, you'll still be able to listen to it while you're running another application.This is a code app, so there's no icon for it. To use iPhone Backgrounder, open up the app you want to use and hold down the Home button until you get a pop-up saying "Backgrounding Enabled (Continue holding to force quit). If you want to disable it, just hold down the Home button again.One thing: Backgrounder will be disabled if you respring your SpringBoard. Also, there's a chance that an application would immediately quit after you hold down the Home button. According to developer gaizin, this may be caused by Intelliscreen's App Launch Boost feature, which can be disabled in Intelliscreen's Performance page.The catch here is that running multiple apps, even in background mode, can drain your iPhone's battery faster than usual. It'll also make you device run slower. If that doesn't bother you one bit, check this app out. It's available on Cydia for free.Related articles:More homebrew applications for iPhone
