It's been a pretty busy week in Cydia for the most part, but those who have jailbreaks on iOS 9 have still had the opportunity to try some new jailbreak tweak releases.
In this roundup, we'll talk about everything that was released in Cydia this week, starting with our favorites and then moving on to the rest.
You can now change the look and feel of your iPhone's dial pad buttons inside the Phone app with a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PhoneDialReformer.
You can use this tweak to mess around with the roundness and corner radius of the dial pad buttons until they match your own personal tastes.
TextCounter is a new jailbreak tweak that can help put into perspective just how much you're texting people.
It keeps track of how many sent and received messages you have in your Messages app and then shows them to you in various interfaces in the app.
MacRumors forum member “iwayne” has noticed that iOS 10 offers an interesting software workaround for when the iPhone 7's non-moving Home button fails.
Should that ever happen to you, iOS 10 will instantly create a software-based Home button centered at the bottom of the screen.
Not unlike the AssistiveTouch accessibility feature that many iPhone owners in Asia use regularly over fear of breaking the physical Home button, iOS 10's new onscreen button could hint at how a bezel-less iPhone 8 might work without a physical Home button.
There has been a lot of takes on Apple’s new wireless headphones, the AirPods. Some people brush them off as just expensive and unnecessary. Others insist you’re going to lose them instantly. However, after Apple’s keynote, the AirPods may be what I am looking forward to most.
It's the weekend again, and you know what that means. That's right! It's time for another Apps of the Week roundup. This week we have some great selections, including an app for easily ordering same-day gifts, a great new chart and graph-maker, and an app for creating awesome lip-sync videos.
Although you've always been able to set music as the alarm sound for the alarms you wake up to every morning via your iPhone or iPad, you've never been able to set entire music playlists as your alarm sound.
Looking at the bright side, however, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PlaylistAlarm changes that.
No2Theft is a new jailbreak tweak release that helps you keep your iPhone from getting stolen when you plug it in for a quick charge in unfamiliar places.
Many folks who love using their iPhones to listen to music seem to take a liking to mini player-like jailbreak tweaks, and a new release called Playtopia is the latest to join the lineup of mini player competition.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and The Department of Transportation (DoT) have banned Samsung's recalled Note 7 smartphones from all domestic airline flights in the United States beginning Saturday, officials announced in an emergency order.
A few days ago, Samsung permanently stopped production of the troubled smartphone following incidents in which replacement devices it deemed safe exhibited the same fire-prone defect, even when powered down.
Announced in June of this year, first ads started cropping up in search results on the App Store beginning October 5. Aside from a few launch hiccups, App Store search advertisements seem to be performing pretty well in their early days.
A new study by mobile data intelligence firm Mobile Action—based on a random and anonymous sampling of 77 Search Ads campaigns—has determined that the average Conversion Rate (CR) is 49.4 percent while Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) sits around $0.40.
Search Ads, the survey concludes, is “the biggest opportunity in app marketing right now.”
Apple's boss Tim Cook met Nintendo’s legendary games designer Shigeru Miyamoto during a recent whirlwind tour of Japan.
