SkankPhone is a part of Apple's internal debug utilities suite. It can be defined as a [[SpringBoard]] alternative. Instead of dividing the iPhone OS functions such as Phone, Safari etc. into standalone applications, Apple developers combined many functionalities into one app. SkankPhone has a integrated phone, web browser, music player and SMS editor. Pressing Home Button reveals a toolbar with 5 shortcuts to other SP sections: Phone, Web, SMS, Music and Setup. In [[Alpine_1A420]] prototype firmware it also had a built-in [[Operator]] screen. |
