Does tapping twice to clear Notification Center notifications get on your nerves? Well, if you haven't used one of the many already available tweaks to eliminate the issue, perhaps FastClear is what you need?
FastClear is a simple tweak that makes the "clear" dialogue display on Notification Center instead of the "x". This enables you to clear all of your notifications with a single tap instead of two...
Have you ever looked at the product images of the iPod touch or the iPad on Apple's website and wondered how the company was able to produce such a perfect photo? It almost looks like it was rendered in a computer program. But it wasn't.
What you see (most of the time) is actually a real photograph — one that Apple spent more time producing than you could imagine. Yes, the company's infamous attention to detail extends to its product photos as well...
Apple is known for throwing as many patents onto the wall as possible with the aim of getting at least a few to stick. That has never been more true than since the arrival of the iOS platform with iPads and iPhones seeing more than their fair share of patent applications.
Now the US Patent and Trademark Office has laid out nineteen new patents which have been granted to Apple, and while some are Mac related, others have a distinctly iOS bent to them.
One such patent covers something that we all take for granted - the Airplane Mode feature that is built into all iOS devices, and is a God-send if you happen to use an old FM-transmitter with an iPhone...
Is there a new game of cat and mouse brewing? Reports from non-iPhone 4S Siri users indicate that there may be.
Apparently, Apple has altered its requirements for a successful Siri connection, adding a new token to the mix that has caused problems for those who connect to a 3rd party Siri server on non-iPhone 4S devices.
Are you one of them?
Customizing your carrier name is nothing new, but did you know there are tons of ways to go about doing so?
In this video demonstration, we'll highlight four different tweaks that you can use to customize your iPhone's carrier name. You can even use Emoji icons and create custom logos with the proper know how. Check inside for the full rundown...
One of my favorite features about IntelliscreenX is the fact that you can access your notification center from your lock screen. I don't use the popular tweak anymore, it was too much for me. And that's really the only element I miss.
Since I dropped Intelliscreenx, I've been looking for a developer to come up with a standalone jailbreak tweak to enable lock screen notification center access. And finally, it's here. Introducing Bulletin...
Looking to add Siri on your iPhone 2G, iPod touch, or virtually any other pre-iPhone 4S device? Then look no further than Sara.
Sara is far from perfect, but if Siri Proxy is not an option for you then it is likely the next best thing.
Check inside as we take Sara for a test drive on video...
Ever since the possibility of a Siri Proxy server was first unveiled, it's been all the rage. The promise of being able to run Siri on older devices? Count me and about a million other people in.
Now you can hardly look around without seeing some blurb about a 3rd party Siri server, and although security (or lack thereof) is still a big concern, it's apparently not concerning enough to keep the masses of pre-iPhone 4S owners away.
Andrew Sheridan, one of the primary folks behind the i4Siri project reached out to me about a month ago asking me to try his Siri server. Here are some of the results of that trial...
The iOS accessory space has seen a number of universal remote control add-ons over the last few years. There's the Peel, and the Griffin Beacon — both of which allow you to control your entire entertainment center with your iOS device.
But now there's a new kid on the block, the VooMote Zapper. And unlike the aforementioned accessories, it doesn't require an external infrared receiver. The Zapper plugs directly into your device's 30-pin dock connector, and doesn't require batteries...
As noted by MacRumors, Apple has notified its iOS developers that future app updates and submissions are now required to include screenshots that meet Retina resolution specifications.
The requirement applies to both iPhone and iPod touch developers, and it looks like Apple won't be approving apps that don't qualify...
Looking for yet another alternative to the stock App Switcher? I know, there's no shortage of alternate app switchers, but there's always room for one more, right?
Well, on second thought, maybe not. Simplexity is a recently released jailbreak tweak on Cydia that wholeheartedly lives up to its name. While it's simple in some aspects, it can make what should otherwise be a no-brainer function overly complex...
Have you ever wondered what files a specific jailbreak tweak places on your device? Have you ever wondered where the files are stored?
If so, you could always fire up iFile or use an FTP utility to go digging around in your file system. Or, you could just head to Cydia and utilize a provision that's available for every package you have installed on your device...
