Cydia news and information: read the latest development about Cydia, including jailbreak tweaks.
How many times have you accidentally sent an email that wasn't finished? Or worse yet, how many times have you sent an email to the wrong recipient? Yeah, our mistakes can yield some pretty embarrassing results if we're not careful.
Wouldn't it be nice if your mail and SMS apps asked you if you wanted to send, before sending? AskToSend is a jailbreak app that teaches your iPhone some lessons in etiquette...
Today, MuscleNerd unveiled the video of an iOS 4.2 untethered jailbreak that is currently in the works. This is wonderful news for everyone who wisely held off on upgrading their iPhones to 4.2.1.
If you noticed lately how Cydia mysteriously saves off your 4.2b3 SHSH files, well this exploit utilizes those. Patience is indeed a virtue! Check inside for full video displaying the untethered jailbreak running on an iPod Touch 4g.
Those red notification badges aren't the most exciting thing in the world are they? Sure, you might have a new e-mail, or there may be a new update to your favorite app, but they lack flair, they lack excitement!
What if you could change those badges into something more meaningful? Maybe a funny phrase, or your favorite proverb? CustomBadges, a tweak for jailbroken iPhones, allows you to do just that...
The iPhone is a wonderful device that has made all of our lives more productive, but could it also lead to undue stress? With the constant barrage of app icons, push notifications, and warning messages, I sure think so.
Take a look inside for our 5 secrets to iPhone bliss and contentment, and see if you agree...
I've always been quite partial to Spotlight, I use it all the time to launch apps that I have tucked away in a folder somewhere, and I find that it is an extremely effective way to use my iPhone.
With that in mind, my ears always perk up whenever a tweak makes a claim that it can improve Spotlight, and ListLauncher is one such app. Just how does it work, and does it really make launching apps faster?
The developer of Graviboard, a jailbreak tweak that brings gravity to your Home screen, claims that it is "guaranteed to amaze your friends..." That's a pretty lofty guarantee to make, especially when it costs a moderate $2.99.
Does the tweak defy gravity, and live up to its billing? We take a look inside...
5-Row Keyboard is a new jailbreak tweak that does just what the name describes: enables a larger, 5-row keyboard in iOS. All of the numeric keys are added to a top row of the iOS keyboard so that you don't have to constantly change the keyboard layout when typing numbers.
This tweak doesn't do much else besides what is obvious...
Most apps in iOS support both portrait and landscape mode. The iPad even supports portrait and landscape on the home screen. Apple has limited the iPhone's home screen to portrait mode only, but there is now a jailbreak tweak for adding landscape rotation to your iPhone's home screen.
SBRotator changes your home screen to match your iPhone's orientation, just like most apps will already do in iOS. If you have been dying to have this capability since you saw the iPad's rotated home screen, you should be very happy with SBRotator...
ScrollingBoard is a new Cydia tweak that let's you have scrolling, unlimited icons in your dock and folders, and addons in your dock (like iPod controls). What makes ScrollingBoard so interesting is that not only does it bring a few new features to your jailbroken device, but it also replicates the functions of other popular jailbreak tweaks in the process.
ScrollingBoard's main goal is to make your iOS device's dock as useful as can be. The native arrangement of icons on your home screen's pages is also available on your dock with ScrollingBoard. The addons and SBSettings integration that ScollingBoard brings to the dock also make this tweak especially worth the $1.50 price tag...
It's no secret that even after a few firmware updates, the proximity sensor issues are still a problem for a lot of people. Although I'm not a big talker, I still occasionally experience frustrating proximity sensor issues.
The proximity sensor is what the iPhone uses to know whether or not you are on a call. Its purpose is to sense your face, and disable the touch screen so that you don't inadvertently "face dial" or hang up on your caller.
CallLock aims to circumvent the issue by locking the iPhone altogether when on a call, but does it work?
Backing up your firmware SHSH blobs is an important step if you ever decide to jailbreak your iPhone, because it allows you to downgrade your firmware if the need ever arises, and sometime it does.
Although Cydia takes a lot of the pain out of this for you by backing up your iPhone's blobs itself, it gives me peace of mind to have a second copy backed up personally, just in case something goes wrong. Step inside, and we'll show you how iSHSHit allows you to do just that...
Cydia was recently updated to support Apple's updated API's in iOS 4.2. This particular Cydia update was quite the major overhaul, and there is no option available (yet) within Cydia to update to the newest version automatically.
Besides iOS 4.2 support, there are several long-awaited improvements in this version of Cydia.
The most noticeable improvement in this update is a huge performance boost throughout the whole application. Everything is faster. Once Cydia does the initial restructuring and downloading after you first install the update, you should notice an immediate boost in speed as you navigate the app. That means less of the dreaded loading wheel and more of actually accomplishing what you want to do...
