How to perfectly mesh your Auxo installation with ayecon

Jeff Benjamin ∙ April 12, 2013

Ayecon is by far the most popular jailbreak theme that we've seen in quite some time, and its popularity doesn't seem to be slowing down. Auxo, like ayecon, is insanely popular in its own right. But how do you get the pair to play nice together? It's actually really simple — you download the official ayecon theme for Auxo, that's how.

ayecon Auxo Theme is a free WinterBoard theme, and it comes directly from the creator of ayecon — Surenix. That means you can expect it to be a 1:1 match with the rest of the ayecon theme from a visual perspective.

Corporate coach alludes to Apple’s next breakthrough: wearable

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated January 22, 2018

Bill Campbell, Chairman of the Intuit board, has been a member of Apple's board of directors since Steve Jobs's return in 1997. Simply known as the "coach," Campbell sat down with the Intuit CEO and dropped a few notable hints regarding Apple's direction in the post-Jobs Tim Cook era. Although he wouldn't discuss specifics of Apple's pipeline, reading between the lines subtly suggests that something incorporating wearable technology might soon become Apple’s latest and greatest creation. We have a vide right past the fold...

Watch the evad3rs’ Q&A session from HITB 2013

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 11, 2018

Yesterday we linked you to the slide presentation from the evad3rs' appearance at the HITB 2013 security conference in Amsterdam. Today, we're bringing you video from their Q&A session.

In the video, which comes in at less than half an hour — and can probably be watched faster than it would take you to read their entire slide presentation — the evad3rs talk about exploits (obviously), iOS 6.1.3, Apple, downgrading, and more.

T-Mobile reports ‘gangbusters’ iPhone opening

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated March 31, 2017

T-Mobile kicked off sales of Apple's popular smartphone by airing its first iPhone ad yesterday evening. The ice-breaker commercial is part of the reportedly massive nationwide campaign, with print and digital ads to follow soon after. While the carrier did not release the official first-dale sales data at press time - and probably won't until its next earnings report - its marketing honcho did bother taking to blogs to say T-Mobile saw "gangbusters" opening, whatever that means in terms of hard data.

Be that as it may, the addition of T-Mobile, the nation's fourth-largest wireless carrier, to the list of US carriers selling Apple's handset is bound to improve Apple's bottom line. Any iPhones T-Mobile sold won't be reflected in Apple's second fiscal 2013 quarter, which ended last month. The Cupertino company announced it will be releasing earnings on April 23...

New Twitter Music app launching this weekend

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated November 19, 2018

Twitter Thursday announced on, well, Twitter that it snapped up We Are Hunted, a music startup which tracks what songs people share the most across social networks.

But that's so yesterday. Just 24 hours later, Twitter on Friday announced its music service is crawling out of obscurity, having changed from "invite only" to "coming soon." Not much is known about the service as of yet except for a tidbit here and there.

According to some well-informed people, the micro-blogging service will be launching an app for iOS devices as well, timed to the start of the Coachella music festival this weekend. Matter of fact, if you're Ryan Seacrest, a filmstar, an influencer or some such celebrity, you could start using Twitter Music today...

Apple asks devs to localize apps, launches Chinese Support forum

Ed Sutherland ∙ Updated June 13, 2016

Apple appears to want its apps to lose the 'outsider' label. In an email communication to its registered developers sent earlier this week, the App Store owner encouraged programmers to localize their applications because it's "never been more important." Also, in the latest round of moves aimed at Chinese consumers, the iPhone maker updated its online support forums to handle the native language...

Here’s how Velox will interface with the Mail app

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated May 16, 2016

A few new screenshots were posted on Apex Tweaks' official site, and one of them shows the way that Velox will interface with the Mail app. This is significant, because this wasn't available in the preview version that I demoed a few days ago.

The screenshot shows the typical Velox view, with what appear to be scrollable messages with titles and a two line preview of the message. It looks, judging from the screenshot, that a swipe gesture, or a tap of the email, may allow you to reply directly to messages from Velox's enhanced email folder.

Don’t waste your time using MyStat for Notification Center

Jeff Benjamin ∙ April 12, 2013

So I just installed MyStat for Notification Center, as it just appeared on Cydia's BigBoss repo a few minutes ago. Here's a word of warning: don't bother installing it yourself.

To put it plainly, it's a sad attempt at a statistical Notification Center widget. Your time would be better spent elsewhere.

Record ‘n’ Torch enables the camera flash toggle while recording video

Jeff Benjamin ∙ April 12, 2013

Did you know that you cannot enable or disable the flash while shooting video with the stock Camera app? I didn't either, until I stumbled upon a new jailbreak tweak called Record 'n' Torch. This is a tweak that lends the ability to be able to enable and disable the camera flash while in the middle of recording video. Check out more details inside.

Not a joke: Verizon just tightened eligibility terms, killing early upgrades

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated October 12, 2018

Straight from the 'what-were-they-thinking' department comes news that Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading carrier, Friday updated its upgrade eligibility terms, but unfortunately not for the better.

If you're on a two-year agreement, you'll be now eligible for an upgrade at 24 months as opposed to today's early upgrade eligibility at 20 months.

Remember, this is a carrier that just two years ago eliminated the 12-month upgrade. The first customers impacted by this change are the ones whose contracts expire in January 2014. Verizon cynically states that people are always free to "purchase a new phone at the full retail price at any time."

Monthly installments, much?

They even had the nerve to argue the change is "consistent with how the majority of customers purchase new phones today". So, folks are actually eager to commit their soul to Verizon's long-term agreements with no easy way out? Seriously? Let me guess: if consumers demanded it, the company would eliminate contracts, right? Looks to me Verizon didn't get the memo. But wait, there's more...
