New Erica Utilities
Erica Sadun | 2:17 pm | July 21, 2008 | 2.0, Utilities
A few new utilities available today! abquery lets you search your address book by name. deviceinfo uses your ioregistry to return information about your device, including UDID. ip-print shows your current ip address. launch will run applications. openURL does exactly what the name suggest, including tel:// addresses. urlclip creates regular and tel clips on the springboard. Enjoy!

Erica, will you make Make it Mine available for Firmware 2.0? I’ve tried to set SBFakeCarrier via your plutil tool but it seems as if this way no longer works under Firmware 2.0. Any hints? — Greatly appreciated!

Use sb for setting springboard prefs. sb -s “AT&T” SBFakeCarrier

Am I blind? where do I find the 2.0 compatible openURL? the one in the Deprecated is the “old” one, isn´t it?
thanks!

It’s part of the new Erica Utilities. You can download it here (go to ericasadun.com/ftp and to the Erica Utilities folder) or from Cydia

thank you. found it.
Does the same syntax for the package apply? I downloaded the Deprecated package and replaced it with the new openURL.
but it only bounces back to the springboard without action.
i tried the url.txt with “tel://…” and “http://…”

Hello Erica,
A quick issue I noticed with launch is that whenever I try to run an application it just ignores it and opens the input #…I enter AppStore.app-com.apple.AppStore and even just AppStore-com.apple.AppStore. Should I first cd into the directory?? I just can’t seem to find a work around. Awaiting your reply.

Hi Erica,
any update on this? first I found out a permission issue but I still can not execute the openURL on 2.0.
when executing via SSL it only returns “killed”.
thank you so much for your help!

Hi,
I am bothering again. the openURL works after fixing permissions and signing with ldid. but in only works by giving the url as parameter by ssh.
executing from springboard does not include the url.txt file. any suggestions?

Hi Erica,
Do you have in mind updating the command line tools Alarm, DoQuery, DoAlarm, DoShell ?
I was using them to create alarms with some song from my iPod library through a simple shell script.
Thanks

I’m trying to figure out if I can detect if the silent switch is toggled with deviceinfo -a How do I find out what all the -a “io registry” values I can query for?
I’m modifying smsnotify to actually play an audible alert using your “play” utility but it plays the alert even if the phone is supposed to be silent.

Hi Erica, my colleagues in UK cannot download your UDID app. Can you free the app so people around the world can download it?
