What do you get when you mix a slideshow with iOS 5's Notification Center? You get SlideCenter. That's right, there's little creativity in the naming department these days.
SlideCenter allows you to stream all of the photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll, right into Notification Center.

Want to know the name of your iDevice? How about its storage capacity, OS, build, or free memory available?
For stat junkies, there's no better jailbreak tweak than OmniStat. OmniStat is a widget that resides in iOS 5's Notification Center, and it puts a ridiculous amount of iDevice stats right at your fingertips...
Hot off the heels of the illegitimate method for accessing the tweak settings on iOS 5, comes the legit release of PreferenceLoader, Activator, and many more pertinent tweaks for iOS 5.
For those of you who aren't aware, PreferenceLoader was the biggie, because it is the means by which settings for your favorite jailbreak tweaks are configured. Without it, many tweaks would simply not function, or at least not function as intended.
Developer, Dustin Howett, the creator of PreferenceLoader, had been waiting until iOS 5 got closer to final, prior to releasing his much-needed Mobile Substrate utility...
Update: Video and download pulled. Apparently this file is not officially approved by the developer, and it was stolen/illegal/unlicensed. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we don't want to wrong the hard working members of the community. I hope you understand.
One of the main reasons that people have shied away from the iOS 5 jailbreak, besides the obvious tethered nature, is the lack of settings for their favorite tweaks. This makes their favorite tweaks severely maimed, or utterly useless.
The following tutorial shows how to update your PreferenceLoader which will in turn enable settings for tweaks on iOS 5. Keep in mind that an update PreferenceLoader should be coming anyway, with the release of iOS 5 on October 12th. For those who just can't bare to wait any longer, this tutorial is for you...
Without a doubt, SBSettings is the de facto must have tweak among all jailbreak tweaks for the iPhone. I think if you took a poll of 100 people, 90 of them would claim that SBSettings is the one tweak that they could not live without.
With that being said, imagine my excitement when I heard that the iOS 5 beta version of SBSettings was ready for testing! I'm happy to report that it comes with tons of new settings, and beautifully integrates into iOS 5's Notification Center.
Check inside for a full video walkthrough of the new and improved SBSettings...

Have you ever noticed this issue on your jailbroken installation of iOS 5? Chances are, if you've installed Activator, you have.
The issue — one that causes your apps to be reduced in size to take up only one fourth of the screen — impacts the Settings app, Cydia, and various other apps.
Thankfully, we've found a method to circumvent the issue. Take a look inside for the full video tutorial...
It's no secret that I consider biteSMS to be an absolute iPhone staple; it's among the first apps that I install after jailbreaking my iPhone.
For those of you who, like me, decide to jailbreak your iOS 5 installation, you'll find that the public version of biteSMS crashes upon launch.
Fortunately, the biteSMS team has produced a beta version of their popular SMS app that works great on iOS 5. Check inside for the full details on how to score it for yourself...
Today, the world lost one of the greatest visionaries it has ever seen, or ever will, for that matter.
Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs has passed away at the age of 56; just one day after the launch of a product that he helped mastermind and create.
iDB sends our deepest condolences to his family, friends, co-workers, and anyone who has a passion for technology. You were one of a kind Steve, you will be deeply missed...
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a staunch Google Chrome advocate for basically two reasons: a) It's incredibly easy it is to restore all of your bookmarks, history, and extensions. And b). The OmniBar.
The OmniBar is the feature that I always end up missing the most when I'm forced to use another browser. The OmniBar is great, because it does something incredibly simple: It lets you perform searches and web queries from within the same box.
Safari UniBar is a jailbreak tweak that brings this same functionality to the iPhone's Mobile Safari...
