Aeuria LS is a beautiful Lock screen tweak for iOS

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 18, 2018

Great standout tweaks seem to be few and far between as of late, but the developer of Aeuria LS obviously has other thoughts about the matter. Aeuria LS is an original and wonderful-looking Lock screen tweak for jailbroken devices, that presents the current time in a unique manner.

Conceptualized by Zach Williams and programmed by Bryce Pauken, Aeuria LS is one of the best looking jailbreak tweaks that I've seen in a while. It brings a Lock screen clock interface to the iPhone that features customizations by clock type, time format, clock face font, color, blur, and more.

It's a simple looking tweak that you'll find to be incredibly deep, and a technical work of art once you delve into its preferences. Have a look at our video overview of Aeuria LS for more details.

CrazyClock: speed up the Clock app icon animation on the Home screen

Jeff Benjamin ∙ February 12, 2015

Before iOS 7, a jailbreak tweak was required to have an animated Clock app icon on the Home screen. That, of course, changed with iOS 7, as Apple ushered in its own version of the animated clock icon.

CrazyClock takes Apple's animated app icon and does some pretty interesting things with it. It can significantly speed up the animated hands on the clock, and even make the hands move in a counter-clockwise direction.

iOS 7: the ultimate Clock app guide

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated May 21, 2019

The stock Clock app featured in iOS 7 is the central hub for managing anything that has to do with time on your iOS device. The app is basically four different applications combined into a single app interface.

You'll find tabs for the World Clock, Alarm, Stopwatch, and Timer at the bottom of the stock Clock app interface. Each tab is capable of working independently of the other tabs; for example, I can run a timer and a stopwatch simultaneously.

That at all being said, the stock Clock app is still a very basic stock application. Please check out the table of contents below for each section pertaining to the features found in iOS 7's Clock app.

How to enable swipe-to-delete in the stock Clock app

Jeff Benjamin ∙ March 25, 2014

I don't know about you guys, but I find it really annoying when there's not a swipe-to-delete option available in an application. One good example of this is found in the stock Clock app. On its world clock tab, you are forced to use the edit button in the upper left-hand corner in order to delete a clock.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could add swipe-to-delete functionality and cut the amount of gestures necessary to delete a clock down from three to two? That's the premise behind Edit Clocks—it makes deleting clocks found in the stock Clock app uber-intuitive and easy. Have a look at our video demonstration of the tweak in action after the break.

How to map Control Center’s timer shortcut to the alarm clock

Jeff Benjamin ∙ January 4, 2014

I don't know about you, but I rarely use the timer found in the stock Clock app. I know Sebastien has mentioned that he uses the timer from time to time while cooking, but he's one of the few I know who do.

The Control Center panel in iOS 7 features a shortcut to the timer section of the stock Clock app. Personally, I think it would have been more beneficial to link that shortcut to the alarm clock section of the Clock app. If there's one area of the stock Clock app that I frequent on a daily basis, it's the alarm clock section.

Jailbroken iOS 7 users can now reassign the timer shortcut to the alarm clock. Take a look inside at our video walkthrough to see how...

iOS still struggling with Daylight Saving Times as some users are affected with yet another bug [update]

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated October 12, 2018

iOS is no stranger to Daylight Saving Times bugs. It could actually be considered a recurring things as we've seen several occurrences of Apple's operating system not properly adjusting to time changes in the past, most notably back in 2010 and twice in 2011.

After all this time, you'd think Apple would have figured out how to properly adjust such a basic feature, but apparently they haven't. Some French users are reporting today that although the time has adjusted correctly to the country's DST change, there is still a little bug visible in the Calendar app...
