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...
Let's just chalk TerminalActivator into the "I do it just because I can" category.
TerminalActivator, as its name might suggest, allows you to execute Activator actions via a terminal emulator.
It works well, but the developer is obviously targeting a very small audience. Full video demonstration inside...
Jepit is a jailbreak tweak that attempts to add new app switching animations to your iDevice.
Along with animations, Jepit also includes the ability to change the speed of said animations.
Sadly, its lack of polish hinders what could otherwise be an eye catching tweak. Take a look as we go one-on-one with Jepit inside...
Nearly 170 million viewers tuned in to watch the Super Bowl last year, meaning over half of America's 308 million residents caught at least part of the the big game.
If you plan on being a part of that statistic today, you're definitely going to want to download the new Chevy Game Time application for iOS. GM will be using the app to give away thousands of prizes, including several new vehicles...
Just because Apple is in the consumer electronics business, doesn't mean it doesn't have its eye on other markets. Just last month we saw the company launch a digital textbook program, and it's also shown a lot of interest in the personal fitness space.
For the last several years, Apple has teamed up with Nike to bring fitness-tracking software to its iPhone and iPod products. Now it looks like it's trying to take that idea to the next level with its latest patent application regarding an iOS app that tracks and shares your workout information...
