An updated of AppFlow is available now in the Applications folder. If I did this correctly, the executable already is signed and you should be able to drop it into /Applications on your iPhone, respring and go on your way. Let me know how it works.

Version 12 is on the way, but 11 is here and now includes notification watcher. With it, you can scan for standard and/or core telephony notifications.

In the Test folder. You need to install by hand at this time and fake sign (ldid -S) them so they’ll run on the 2.0 command line. The first set includes:
appLoad load or unload applications without respringing.
restart respring
sbar add/remove items from the status bar
sb interactively update your springboard prefs
plutil my iPhone-based expanded plutil

The new 2.0 SDK version of XLaunch combines all the features you use and love in the 1.1.4 version plus several new options. I’m pleased that I was able to upgrade the application without losing features along the way–and especially happy that I was able to merge MakeItMine and Banner in without destroying the simple interface.
You can still launch webclips and badge apps, and assign applications to the home key for double-taps. You can still browse in both table or coverflow modes.
Now you can also set carrier text and the banner text via the Customize options. And I’m considering adding other customization features there as well. If you have any other suggestions or feature requests, please speak up! Now’s the time to jump in while the design remains fluid.

Play any audio file from the command line with “play”.

Here they are, ready to be downloaded as individual utilities. I compiled these within the last few weeks based on reverse-engineering but I haven’t had the ability to test them out until today. Some work well (deviceinfo, badge, ip-print, plutil, restart). Others need some TLC (itmsSearch, mailFile).
These utilities are pretty much useless unless you have an ipwned developer 2.0 release. I had to do a lot of updates, particularly on appLoad, which uses a new way of loading applications.
So, yay to the dev team and if you have any specific requests, let me know. So far I have not been able to make anything run that uses windowing. If you have any tips or hints about getting around this do let me know.

If you’ve installed the SDK, you can download and run a copy of my iPhone To-Do list software from my new SDK application folder. It’s basically my old ToDo list app ported to the new SDK, which took far longer than I honestly thought it would. No re-ordering yet on cells. When we either soft-upgrade to 1.2, or get an Apple 1.2 firmware upgrade, it should be able to run natively. For now, the point was to get a program running, figure out how to distribute and install it (instructions are on the linked page) so that it could be tested and used in the wild. So, you know, like “Yay!”

There’s a new version of findme called firefindme in the TUAW findme folder. This version allows you to report your location to Yahoo’s new FireEagle location service. In order to use this utility with FireEagle, you’ll need to run two utilities: start with authtoken, which will launch Safari and ask you to log into Fire Eagle and authorize the FindMe application. Then run authcheck to retrieve your authorization certificate. You’re then golden to start using the -F option with findme.
I have a bunch of FireEagle invites, so leave a comment if you’d like one. I’ll need to respond to your comment so make sure you registered with a valid email.

By request, deviceinfo is in the individual Erica Utilities folder. It returns the platform (iPhone or iPod), code, serial number, imei, and model number from the command line.
./deviceinfo : options -p platform -c platform code (e.g. M68AP or N45AP) -s serial number -i imei -m model number
