Remotely Control Your Jailbroken iPhone with Veency
On its face, a tool that gives you remote control over your jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch seems kind of pointless. If you’re sitting at a computer already, why would you need to use your tiny touch screen computer? But take a moment to think of the things you could save time typing out—like built-up text messages and frustratingly non-syncing notes—as well as the ability to charge or play music while still using the software. Now it’s a safer bet that some curious hackers will want to tunnel into their gadgets. Let’s take a look at how to set up Veency, along with a few good uses for it.
Setting up Veency
First off, Veency is only available for unlocked (i.e. jailbroken) iPhones and iPod touch models running the 2.0 software. Lifehacker has wrote detailed about jailbreaking process using Pwnage Tool on a Mac and QuickPwn on Windows, along with a few apps you can only get with jailbreaking worth checking out. Once your device is unlocked, open the Cydia installer, hit the “Search” button in the lower-left corner, and type until you see “Veency” available. Install the app, and hit “Reset Springboard” when finished. You won’t see any new icons, but your iPhone or iPod touch can now accept VNC connections.
