by Jeff Benjamin on Apr 2, 2012

Aero is a brand new jailbreak tweak that allows you to switch apps in style via custom animations. We’ve already had some significant hands-on time with Aero last week, and we were excited by what we saw.

If you’ve been waiting on pins and needles for Aero’s release, then wait no more; Aero can be downloaded from Cydia’s ModMyi repo for $1.99. What do you think?

‘CmdTab’ lends an OS X inspired app switcher to the iPhone

by Jeff Benjamin on Mar 26, 2012

Command+Tab is one of the most useful keyboard shortcuts known to Mac users. It allows you to quickly switch between applications using nothing more than a couple of keys on the keyboard.

CmdTab for the iPhone is a jailbreak tweak that is loosely based on what Mac users have been enjoying forever.

I say loosely based, because it doesn’t actually allow you to select your running apps like on the Mac; instead, the developer decided to include a few predefined shortcuts that are accessible via an Activator action.

How does it perform? Take a look inside for the full details on video… Read More
