We told you about Paper Racer just a few days ago, just ahead of the official release in AppStore.
The game, an arcade racing game with visual from above, is available for download, priced at just 0,79€. Paper Racer
proposes a formula for instant, truly, but not very funny.
You can read a full review at this address, as we recall that the main campaign will offer a number of 16 different races. The game also allows you to customize their cars starting from photographs made with the machine or device using the photo library.
Here's an excerpt from our conclusions:
The title has the classic progressive mode called "championship" includes 16 races, trials or races more immediate. The game has also three different difficulty levels, where the average is still harder to live fulfilling and will allow challenges nice "heads up" for the first and second posizione.Insomma a game that does not add too much to the genre, but surely is well done and deserves the attention of users
Ryan Petrich is a developer of Cydia scene, well known for some of his projects (one on all the Activator, which today are based on virtually all other tweaks) and the availability and support that gives users via Twitter and other private channels . Petrich has recently launched a new "promotion", called TweakWeek, which involves the release of some tweaks free for jailbroken iPhone. Today we bring iScreenSaver made by Dan Zimmerman.
TweakWeek plans to release a tweak free and open source a day. The rules for joining this initiative are very few and simple: the developers will in fact create a new project from scratch for users that will be distributed through the first repository of Ryan Petrich (
http://rpetri.ch/repo)
or those of private developers, and then placed inside one of the community sources in Cydia.
The real difficulty lies in the fact that every tweak will be created in 24 hours: not a minute more. This makes it so fascinating this challenge from developers that, while developing very simple tweak, provide to other developers (and users) of ideas from which to build new applications.
With the iPhone iScreenSaver display for a few seconds without any background on the Home icon - this is definitely the screensaver - completely before turning off the screen to not use the phone. A very simple tweak, certainly not very useful, but probably interesting for some.
IScreenSaver found in Cydia and you can download it by adding the repository Ryan Petrich

In a post from the DevTeam released some minutes ago, is to elucidate the possible reasons that make it impossible to downgrade the IOS of 5.
Here's the translated post:
It seems that Apple wants to aggressively fight the so-called "replay attack" that allowed users to date, using iTunes to restore previous versions of the firmware using the save dell'Ecid.
Those of you who made the jailbreak in the past will surely have heard of the need to periodically save the ECID (SHSH), in order not to lose the ability to downgrade the operating system, and having to do it via Cydia or TinyUmbrella. Save the ECID of a given firmware on a specific device used to restore a previous version of the same even after Apple has given up "sign." All this, however, is about to change.
Since the beta version of iPhone OS 5, in fact, Apple has changed the role of '"APTicket", which is now being used in a manner very similar to "BBTIcket". The steps in the sequence of iBoot LLB and restart an iPhone now depend on the authenticity of the key tied to APTicket, the key is generated at each reset: in practice, now the success of the recovery phase of downgrades depends not only saved dall'ECID and firmware version, but also by a random number linked to APTicket and that only Apple can control and manage. Authentication APTicket, in fact, not only does each recovery, but also every time you restart the device, and since only Apple has the cryptographic keys to sign a properly firmware prior to the present, any attempt to reproduce the APTIckets by third would be useless.
All this will take effect only with Apple's iPhone OS 5 and will be able to enable or disable this check at will by closing or opening the signing of APTIcket (just as is already the case for the baseband BBTIcket).
Fortunately, the exploits used by geohot with limera1n will still be usable, because it works before you start the new type of control created by Apple. This means, therefore, that at least tethered jailbreak is safe (for now), but not downgrade.
All the talk we had on the downgrade only applies if you want to restore a future firmware to a previous one, but always IOS 5. That is, until today, those who already wanted to go back to IOS IOS 5 and 4 can still do it (perhaps using an older version of iTunes), while in the future, who will install iPhone OS 5.1 (example) is never to return to iOS 5.
It is therefore an important step for Apple in the fight to jailbreak, but there is still room to try to circumvent this "block". But it is still in beta 5 iPhone OS, it would be premature to talk about.
