There are some jailbreak utilities that are considered to be more or less essential. In fact, Sebastien wrote a post this morning detailing his top 10 must-have tweaks. Then there are others that don’t really serve much of a purpose.
IconBounce definitely falls in the latter category. It’s a simple utility that makes the dock icons on your iOS 4 or iOS 5 device do summersaults, flips, and other tricks without the need to mess with a bunch of settings… Read More
While we’re on the subject of Cover Flow dock tweaks, let us not forget that Springtomize 2 has featured a similar tweak since its inception. True, it’s not exactly like Adam Bell’s Overflow tweak, but if you already own Springtomize 2 you might as well give it a shot.
Springtomize 2 comes in at $2.99 on the Cydia store, but chances are you already have it seeing as it customizes your device like no other tweak in existence. We’ve taken the liberty to highlight Springtomize’s Cover Flow implementation on video, so be sure to have a look. Read More
If you’re looking for one of the most authentic representations of Cover Flow for your iOS device’s dock, then look no further than Overflow — a tweak that lends a Cover Flow effect to existing jailbreak tweaks like Infinidock.
It’s an impressive looking effect, and can be had if you have a jailbroken iPhone and about $2.00 to spare. Check inside as we take it for a, ahem…spin… Read More
iPhone docks are usually pretty straight-forward accessories. Some have attached speakers, some have built-in alarm clocks, and some even have external screens to watch videos.
But the BodyGuard by ArmStar, as you can see in the above picture, is anything but usual. This wearable iPhone dock is made from kevlar armor and contains several crime-fighting gadgets… Read More
Interested in customizing your App Switcher? What about completely removing certain stock features, like AirPlay and music controls?
With SwitcherLoader — a new jailbreak tweak available on Cydia — it’s all possible, and then some.
SwitcherLoader is a free tweak available for iOS 4.2 devices and above. Check inside for a full video explanation of what this tweak brings to the table. Read More
Cult of Mac points to a rather interesting new iPhone dock by the Old Time Computer outfit. The company loves to mash up old fashioned woodwork and cutting edge technology, and it might just have a hit on its hands with this classic iPhone accessory.
The handmade wooden dock not only looks gorgeous, but it also keeps your iDevice charged with a built-in USB cable. Perhaps the coolest part, though, is that it comes with an old-fashioned handset, capable of connecting to your iPhone via bluetooth… Read More
What’s 11 feet tall and costs $565,000? The world’s tallest and most expensive iPod dock, of course.
The AeroDream One isn’t your typical iPod dock. Created by musician and entrepreneur Jean Michel Jarre, the AeroDream One packs a 10,000 watt stereo system that’s sure to agitate the neighbors. Read More
A new and interesting patent reveals a very interesting possibility for future iDevices. Apple’s current proprietary connection technology has been in need of an update for a long time, and technologies like MagSafe have been considered as a replacement.
The current 30-pin connector is present on all of Apple’s mobile devices. And, apparently, Apple is looking to upgrade the 30-pin architecture with multiple connection technologies… Read More
If someone were to ask you why they should jailbreak their iPhone, what would you say? For me, the list of reasons could go on for days. The themes, the tweaks, it seems like there are a million ways to customize your iPhone once it’s been set free. These tweaks can remove Apple’s limitations on things like the amount of sprin gboard pages you can have, or the amount of icons allowed in each folder.
The coolest hacks, in my opinion, are the ones that make multi-step processes on your iPhone less complicated. Don’t get me wrong, iOS is so simple a 2 year old could use it. But there are apps like SBSettings that will give you home screen access to settings for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Dock 2.0 also falls in this category, as it makes browsing multiple pages for applications a thing of the past… Read More
Taiwanese website Apple.pro has allegedly leaked the dock connector and cable of Apple’s next iPhone. If the images are true, not much has changed from the current dock setup.
There have been rumors that Apple will change the connection architecture of the next iPhone to something like MagSafe. But, according to Apple.pro (which is usually very reliable with Apple supply chain rumors), the same 30-pin connector that we all know and love will remain in the iPhone 5.
