App: WPH Tweaks (Updated Mar 6th)
Posted on 03-06-13 02:58 pm

Here it is, folks. The initial release of my WPH Tweaks application, which allows simple, elegant tweaking of various options in the WP7 operating system.

This application will serve as a place for me to stuff various tweaks I find in the operating system, and is my attempt at making something a little more elegant than usual. Hopefully other eyes will see it this way; still trying to get some of this Silverlight/Metro design ethos down ;)

Here's the important information:

  • New: Tango only: Static IP, export contacts to SIM
  • New: Rearrange the settings menu
  • Allow media access while the phone is syncing
  • Spoof Xbox "Gold" status and send messages without subscription
