Wouldn't it be cool if you could tap an app badge and be given a synopsis of the app's awaiting notifications? That's the premise behind BadgerTweak, an upcoming endeavor that allows "...users to view notifications by tapping the app's notification badge on the SpringBoard."
According to the tweak's official Twitter account, it's coming soon to Cydia, and will work with more than just the Messages app. Although the tweak is still in development, the team behind it has apparently made a few strides in the developmental process as of late.
DefaultSBPage is a brand new jailbreak tweak, and it does something fairly awesome. It allows you to select a default Home screen page to land on once your iPhone is unlocked.
Say you have a particular page dedicated to an often used selection of apps; well, instead of having to swipe over to that page every time you unlock your iPhone, you can set that page as the default page. This will force the iPhone to open directly to the page you utilize the most.
As you can probably tell, DefaultSBPage is an extremely simple tweak in function, but it provides some serious utility. Take a look inside for our full video walkthrough, which showcases it in action.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwnWtECNqe0 Last night, we brought you Joshua Tucker's video preview of Crescent — a new jailbreak tweak designed by tucker, and developed by Evan Coleman — which allows you to enable or disable Do Not Disturb via voice commands. We're happy to tell you that Crescent is now available for download on Cydia's BigBoss repo, and, as expected, it's totally free. If you have a Siri capable device running iOS 6, then you'll want to try Crescent if you use iOS' Do Not Disturb feature often.
Have you tried it? Let me know what you think about Crescent in the comment section below.

TransparentCameraBar is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to make the UI featured in the stock Camera app transparent. The jailbreak tweak, free on Cydia's BigBoss repo, is a way to trick yourself into having "more" real estate for the view finder.
I should mention that this is more like a WinterBoard theme, than a tweak that impacts the photo's end result. If you take a photo either with, or without this tweak, the end result will be the same. It's simply a visual tweak that zooms in the camera UI to give the appearance of a bigger viewfinder.

It's fairly rare when the mastermind behind Cydia decides to create his own jailbreak tweak, but when he does, the masses take note. That's exactly what happened when Cyueue was dropped in Cydia recently. Cyueue is a new jailbreak tweak from Saurik, which adds a new queueing option in the stock Music app.
If you're throwing a house party, then Cyueue is the perfect answer for you. It allows you to keep the current song playing, while still queueing up the records you'd like to hear next. Take a look inside to see how it works.

A few days ago, we told you about PPSSPP — the first PSP emulator for iOS. While the initial screens and video looked promising, at the time, the frame-rate was really low due to some technical issues. Now, it appears that those technical issues — the lack of JIT compiling — have been ironed out, as new video has surfaced showing PPSSPP playing Wipeout pure at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second.
Check out the video above, which showcases Wipeout Pure running at a silky smooth rate. Again, thanks to our friends for the heads up. Again, be sure to visit the official PPSSPP website for more information.
Don't you just hate it when you're watching a video, and it stays stuck it portrait mode due to the iPhone's rotation lock being enabled? That's incredibly annoying.

Instahancer is a new jailbreak tweak that enhances the usability of the iPhone’s Instagram app. It does so in a vein similar to another recently released jailbreak tweak called InstaSave, a tweak primarily focused on saving photos from the service.
