I've never been a huge fan of carriers advertising themselves by means of the carrier logo in my iPhone's status bar. For that reason I usually remove them with a tweak like CleanStatus or Springtomize 2.
But Zeppelin — a new jailbreak tweak that just appeared on Cydia — has me considering carrier logos again...
ColoredKnob is a perfect example of the adage that simplicity = generally awesome. Placing a colored slide to unlock nub on an otherwise overcast iOS lock screen looks incredible, as you'll no doubt agree from our photos and video.
As most of you know, I pride myself in maintaining the stock iOS water droplets wallpaper, which isn't the most interesting piece of work on the block, in fact it's quite snore-worthy.
That’s why I like this tweak so much; add it to the stock wallpaper, and bam, it's a whole new work of art.
Don't believe me? See for yourselves...
If you're looking to customize Siri on your jailbroken iDevice, then there are already a few options available on Cydia.
AssistantExtensions, and SiriToggles are perhaps two of the best examples of Siri customization on a jailbroken device, but there's one in the works that's looking like a winner as well.
Indeed, MySiri — an upcoming Siri tweak — promises to add a ridiculous amount of end-user control to the Siri interface.
Co-developers Andrea Oliva & Akhil Tolani provided us with a sneak peak of the upcoming tweak. Check inside as we give it the full video preview...
Last week's jailbreak theme was overwhelmingly Siri. Apple's mobile assistant finally started to gain some useful jailbreak tweaks thanks to the iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak. We also covered how to get XBMC on your iPhone and other portable iOS devices to really open up its media capabilities.
Please be sure to share our iPhone, iPad, and iOS video guides by spreading our posts on Twitter and Facebook.
HomePlayer is a jailbreak tweak that brings a fully focused audio experience to your SpringBoard. It interfaces directly with the Music app to bring a full screen music playing session to the Home Screen.
When I say "fully focused" I truly mean it, as the app completely disables the Home button's functionality to prevent users from exiting the interface.
It's an interesting concept, although it can be a bit buggy at times. In the end it's an obvious 1.0 tweak that can go as far as its developers decide to take it...
Do you have an ongoing issue with accidentally launching the Lock Screen camera in iOS 5? If so, then perhaps this is the jailbreak tweak for you.
LockscreenSureCam is a tweak that prompts you before launching the Camera on your Lock Screen. I don't know anyone who's ever had a problem with this, but I'm sure someone is out there that does. If that's you, then check inside for a brief video walkthrough.
Every few months there seems to be a jailbreak tweak that's released to cater to the James Bond wannabes out there, and SlyCam is the latest addition to the cache.
SlyCam allows one to covertly snap photos directly from iOS 5's Notification Center. Check out our video coverage of the jailbreak tweak inside...
Besides perhaps Twitter, Google Trends are a good way to gauge what's hot on the web, and now there's a pint-sized version for iPhone owners.
GTrends for Notification Center is a jailbreak widget that conveniently places a trending stock ticker into Notification Center.
You can even launch any of the top 20 trending topics directly from the widget, and use your own custom search queries.
GTrends is an interesting tool that allows you to easily keep your fingers on the pulse of the web...
Sometimes our iDevice's act crazy, unpredictable even. Sometimes, it's necessary to attempt to troubleshoot issues.
That's pretty much the only reason I could ever see a tweak like RestartAlerter coming into play; when troubleshooting issues.
Yep, it's a tweak that alerts your when your iDevice restarts or resprings, and that's pretty much all it does...
Lorem is tweak that brings swipe to dismiss functionality to Notification Center.
It is the companion to Ipsum, a tweak that brings swipe to dismiss functionality to Lock Screen notifications.
Both are great ways to alternatively dismiss the notifications you receive, as you'll see from our coverage inside...
It's a bit hard to explain without showing you, but have you ever wanted to get rid of the transparent icon effect that happens when you open the App Switcher or open a folder?
Apparently, some of you did; hence the creation of a jailbreak tweak entitled No Ghostly Icons. As it name implies, it easily rids your iDevice of the transparent icon effect.
To see exactly what we mean, take a look at our video walkthrough...
Tired of the mundane "beep" that Siri does when you initially invoke her? Maybe you found our tutorial on how to make Siri say "Yes?" compelling?
If that wasn't enough for you, then you can take it a step further and create your own custom Siri audio introduction as well. Check inside for our full tutorial...
