It was only a few days ago that the Sileo Team first made Sileo Beta v1.3.6 available to the general public for testing purposes, but as you might come to expect, that was only the start of things.

I remember Shadowgun as one of the first games on the iPhone that used 3D models. For me, it was ground-breaking at the time and it made me think of the possibilities for mobile gaming in the future. It was one of my favorite games back in the day, and I wasn't the only one. When the game was released in 2011, it got so many positive reviews it was featured in the App Store Essentials Hall of Fame.
Currently, the game has created its own universe, with sequels like Shadowgun Deadzone, Shadowgun Legends and an upcoming game titled Shadowgun War Games.

The Dock on any stock iPhone’s Home screen is limited to just four application icons, but with a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed 2dock by iOS developer Nepeta, you can effortlessly double the app real estate for any iPhone’s Dock.
As you might’ve noticed from the screenshot example above, 2dock doesn’t make the Dock scrollable, nor does it push all the app icons together and cause crowding. Instead, it transforms the Dock we all know and love by turning it into a dual-row interface.
Home screen folders on an iPhone can hold up to nine apps per page at a time, but in certain cases involving extreme Home screen-centric UI customization often necessitate delicate icon balance, and the native look and feel can sometimes appear unsightly or asymmetrical.
If you’d appreciate a nicer-looking folder icon on your Home screen, then chances are that you might take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called 2x2 by iOS developer Nepeta.
