iFuntastic adds more fun

It seems like only Friday that my colleague Jim Dalrymple was explaining how to put custom ringtones on your iPhone using an app called iFuntastic. But a lot can happen in just a few short days, and iFuntastic has seen a pair of updates that bring a slew of new functionality and an easier-to-use interface.

iFuntastic 2.1 lets you not only add custom ringtones, but also replace the carrier graphic in the top lefthand corner of the screen with a graphic of your own choice. No longer will you have to stare at that AT&T graphic taunting you. You can use an image of up to 65x20, though iFuntastic recommends a height of 18 pixels.

And, as if that’s not enough, iFuntastic even lets you rearrange the icons on your iPhone’s home screen, or even remove them completely. Tired of having Text as the first entry? Move it. Don’t need Stocks? See ya. Want to swap your iPod and Phone buttons, or move the Weather into that bottom row. Knock yourself out.

As always, the program comes with caveats: these alterations are performed at your own risk. In most cases, restoring your phone should fix any problems, though it’s always possible that, well, it won’t. Happy hacking!
