Fixing size mismatch errors in Cydia when trying to install a tweak

Size mismatch errors are something that seem to plague me every once in a blue moon when I try to install a jailbreak tweak right after an update is released, or after Cydia refreshes its sources.

The issue can occur when Cydia tries to fully refresh its sources at the time of a repository sync, and I'm sure some of you have probably stumbled upon this same error one time or another.

If you ever do get a size mismatch error in Cydia, we'll be explaining in this short tutorial how you can fix the problem and install the jailbreak tweak you want to download once and for all.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: SwitchHUD, SilentMessenger, & more…

It has been yet a relatively quiet week for Cydia yet again, but there have still been some noteworthy jailbreak tweak releases that we've shown you throughout the week.

Since it's Sunday again, we'll go through a brief roundup of what's new in Cydia as of this week. We'll start by showing you our favorite releases this week, and then we'll show you the rest of them.

SilentMessenger enhances your Facebook & Facebook Messenger privacy

Facebook and Facebook Messenger users who have a jailbroken iOS device are going to love the benefits of using a new jailbreak tweak called SilentMessenger.

This tweak is going to provide these users with additional steps to protect their privacy and keep their footprint in the Facebook apps as minimal as possible from the perspective of other users who are online. Moreover, it also supercharges some other features of the apps.

In this review, we'll talk about what SilentMessenger can do for your Facebook experience, and walk you through all of the tweak's options.

AlwaysNightMode enables night mode in the Maps app at all times

Apple Maps comes with a feature known as night mode. With it, after a certain point during the day when the sunlight goes down, Maps will enter a lower-light state with darker colors as to be easier on your eyes for night-time navigation.

If you really like night mode, and wish there was a way to keep it enabled 100% of the time (even during the day) then you might be interested in a new free jailbreak tweak called AlwaysNightMode.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Volume Mixer 2, & More…

Another week, another jailbreak tweak roundup. We bring you these every week to make sure you never miss a beat.

We've seen some interesting jailbreak tweak releases throughout this week, and this piece, we'll talk about what our favorite releases were, and then show you what else launched in Cydia this week.

‘Volume Mixer 2’ lets you configure all volume settings in one interface

Your iOS device has multiple volume settings, and each one controls something different.

For example, you have your media volume, which affects your song and video sound output, and you have your ringer volume, which affects your ringtones, text tones, and notification sounds. But there are also other volume settings that you can set where applicable.

Volume Mixer 2 is a jailbreak tweak that provides you with an interface where you can conveniently adjust all of those volume levels at one time, and in this review, we'll talk about how it works.

Molar: an immersive Bluetooth keyboard shortcut tweak for jailbroken devices

Using a Bluetooth keyboard with your iOS device is not unheard of, especially with the much more powerful iPad Pro that Apple is dubbing a true mobile competitor for notebook computers. Unfortunately, what Apple lets you do with them is quite limited.

A new jailbreak tweak called Molar is now available in Cydia for $1.99 that gives your iOS device a plethora of Bluetooth keyboard controls that stock iOS device users could only dream of having.

In this review, we'll talk about what Molar allows you to do on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard.

Bookmark specific SMS or iMessage messages with SmsSave

Every so often you send or receive a cherishable or important message in the Messages app on your iPhone, whether by SMS or iMessage. In some cases, it would be really nice if iOS offered a way for you to boak ark those messages so you could look back on them more easily later on.

A new free jailbreak tweak called SmsSave is available in Cydia and gives you the power to bookmark messages right inside of the Messages app on your iOS device. We're going to show you in this review how it's used and talk about why it's going to be helpful.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Edge, SlideMe, & more…

It's Sunday again, and that means we'll be sharing a list of all the jailbreak tweaks that were released in Cydia this week.

Although Cydia isn't quite as busy as it is when there's a fresh jailbreak out and about for the latest iOS firmware, Cydia is still kicking with some interesting releases.

In this roundup, we'll show you our favorite jailbreak tweak releases of the week first, and then we'll get to showing you the rest.

Callisto lets you use the current time as a passcode on your iOS 9 device

You may have heard that the best security is something that lays in plain sight. In some instances, this can be right, because people tend to over-think things.

A jailbreak tweak called Callisto is now available in Cydia's BigBoss repository for $1.49 that lets you use the current time for a passcode instead of something you set for yourself.

In this review, we'll walk you through how it works and show you all of the settings it comes with to make life more comfortable for passcode input.

Lautus is a tweak that lets you clear app caches using 3D Touch

Over time, apps accumulate cache files that will take up valuable space on your device. Since iOS devices don't have upgradeable storage, users of devices with smaller storage capacities have to be careful and closely monitor the amount of storage space their apps are using.

Lautus is a new free jailbreak tweak that empowers users with clearing app caches as they grow over time and it utilizes 3D Touch for use. In this review, we'll walk you through how the tweak works and talk about what it does.
