What do you get when you mix a slideshow with iOS 5's Notification Center? You get SlideCenter. That's right, there's little creativity in the naming department these days.
SlideCenter allows you to stream all of the photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll, right into Notification Center.
Check out the entire video demonstration after the break...
Want to know the name of your iDevice? How about its storage capacity, OS, build, or free memory available?
For stat junkies, there's no better jailbreak tweak than OmniStat. OmniStat is a widget that resides in iOS 5's Notification Center, and it puts a ridiculous amount of iDevice stats right at your fingertips...
Hot off the heels of the illegitimate method for accessing the tweak settings on iOS 5, comes the legit release of PreferenceLoader, Activator, and many more pertinent tweaks for iOS 5.
For those of you who aren't aware, PreferenceLoader was the biggie, because it is the means by which settings for your favorite jailbreak tweaks are configured. Without it, many tweaks would simply not function, or at least not function as intended.
Developer, Dustin Howett, the creator of PreferenceLoader, had been waiting until iOS 5 got closer to final, prior to releasing his much-needed Mobile Substrate utility...
Update: Video and download pulled. Apparently this file is not officially approved by the developer, and it was stolen/illegal/unlicensed. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we don't want to wrong the hard working members of the community. I hope you understand.
One of the main reasons that people have shied away from the iOS 5 jailbreak, besides the obvious tethered nature, is the lack of settings for their favorite tweaks. This makes their favorite tweaks severely maimed, or utterly useless.
The following tutorial shows how to update your PreferenceLoader which will in turn enable settings for tweaks on iOS 5. Keep in mind that an update PreferenceLoader should be coming anyway, with the release of iOS 5 on October 12th. For those who just can't bare to wait any longer, this tutorial is for you...
Without a doubt, SBSettings is the de facto must have tweak among all jailbreak tweaks for the iPhone. I think if you took a poll of 100 people, 90 of them would claim that SBSettings is the one tweak that they could not live without.
With that being said, imagine my excitement when I heard that the iOS 5 beta version of SBSettings was ready for testing! I'm happy to report that it comes with tons of new settings, and beautifully integrates into iOS 5's Notification Center.
Check inside for a full video walkthrough of the new and improved SBSettings...
A screenshot has surfaced of what is apparently an upcoming AirPort Utility app for the iPhone and iPad. As highlighted by TiPB and others, the iOS app would let you configure Apple's AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme routers without a computer.
It's unclear as to if Apple will launch an AirPort Utility app alongside iOS 5, but it's assumed that the app will see the light of day soon...
Have you ever noticed this issue on your jailbroken installation of iOS 5? Chances are, if you've installed Activator, you have.
The issue — one that causes your apps to be reduced in size to take up only one fourth of the screen — impacts the Settings app, Cydia, and various other apps.
Thankfully, we've found a method to circumvent the issue. Take a look inside for the full video tutorial...
It's no secret that I consider biteSMS to be an absolute iPhone staple; it's among the first apps that I install after jailbreaking my iPhone.
For those of you who, like me, decide to jailbreak your iOS 5 installation, you'll find that the public version of biteSMS crashes upon launch.
Fortunately, the biteSMS team has produced a beta version of their popular SMS app that works great on iOS 5. Check inside for the full details on how to score it for yourself...
The code ninjas at 9to5Mac have uncovered references to a new, more powerful Apple TV in the iOS 5 beta.
Since Apple started implementing the faster A5 processor in products like the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, we've all been wondering when the Apple TV will see a specs bump. Practically, a move to the A5 chip in the Apple TV would mean that 1080p video content is coming to Apple's beloved set-top box...
TinyUmbrella, the handy tool that lets you save your SHSH blobs and easily restore to a previous firmware if needed, has been updated to version 5.0b7. This new version doesn't bring anything new but support for iOS 5 GM, which was released yesterday.
If you have updated your iDevice to iOS 5 GM, it would be a good idea to run TinyUmbrella and make sure your SHSH blobs are safe. That is if you even remotely care about jailbreaking...
As expected, one of the stars of Apple's iPhone event yesterday was its new Siri feature. The project, which the rumor mill dubbed Assistant, materialized on stage as a digital personal assistant for future iPhone users.
Even with its impressive demo yesterday, many folks have written Siri off as another failed attempt at a voice command feature. TUAW did some digging and found some evidence that it's much, much more than that...
Not even a day after updating RedSn0w, the Dev Team has pushed yet another update to the jailbreak tool, with the release of RedSn0w 0.9.9 beta 3. This update brings better compatibility with the iOS 5 GM.
The latest version of RedSn0w can jailbreak iOS 5 GM on all devices except the iPad 2, but remember it is a tethered jailbreak, and it can be quite inconvenient...
