AudioRecorder XS brings impressive phone call recording and system audio recording to iOS

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated May 18, 2022

When you first think about Elias Limneos' AudioRecorder XS tweak, the words "creepy" or "spying" or "illegal" may come to your mind. That's because we usually associate recording phone calls with one of those words.

And trust me, AudioRecorder XS features a few legal warnings that you have to work through before you can use it. There's even a detailed legal disclaimer in the tweak's description on Cydia.

But viewing AudioRecorder XS as a way to do bad things is totally unfair to such a great tweak. Not only is this release well-designed and extremely functional, it contains a bevy of practical elements that many may find useful.

AudioRecorder 2 is an impressive jailbreak tweak that allows you to record phone calls from a variety of sources and also lets you record system audio. You may be familiar with other jailbreak releases by Limneos, such as CallBar and BioProtect. AudioRecorder XS lives up to the benchmark set by those two tweaks. Have a look at our full video walkthrough for the details.

2048oard brings the popular puzzle game to the iPhone’s Home screen

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

2048oard is a jailbreak tweak that allows users to play a version os 2048 directly on the iPhone’s Home screen. 2048, as you’re likely aware of, is the popular Sudoku-inspired game that involves combining like numbers of tiles to eventually add up to 2048.

The ability to quickly play a game like 2048 directly on the iPhone’s SpringBoard certainly has appeal, because nothing more than swipe gestures are required to play the game. Have a look at our video walkthrough for more details.

Tweaks of the week: Couria, Vex, Assistant+, and more

Sébastien Page ∙ April 12, 2015

Yet another interesting week in Cydia with a steady flow of new tweaks offering various levels of enhancements to your jailbroken iPhone. I think we'll all agree the big release of the week is Couria, a tweak offering Quick Compose and Quick Reply for Messages, but it definitely wasn't the only one worth your while. Take a peek below!

Couria is now available for free on Cydia

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Couria, the popular quick reply and quick compose tweak that's been in beta for iOS 8, is now available on the BigBoss repo. It brings with it a few new features that weren't available in the beta version, but much of the tweak will be very familiar to beta testers. If you've been dying for a capable quick reply and quick compose tweak in light of biteSMS' demise, then Couria may be just what the doctor ordered.

Android Wear Utility tries its best to bring Android Wear compatibility to iPhone jailbreakers

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Android Wear Utility has been out on the Cydia Store for about a week, and it hopes to bring Android Wear pairing to iPhone users. This isn't the first time that a developer has tried. If you remember a few weeks ago, we went hands-on with MuhammadAG's Android Wear solution and had fairly good success.

But with Muhammad's Android Wear solution still not yet usable by the general public, the developer of Android Wear Utility saw an opportunity, and brought his solution to Cydia. Does it work? Does it make Android Wear devices a real Apple Watch competitor in the Apple eco system?

How to use a secret Activator gesture to keep your Lock screen secure

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Worried about unscrupulous individuals trying to unlock your device or accessing Control Center or Notification Center without your prior approval? If so, then Secret-Lock may interest you.

Secret-Lock is a recently released jailbreak tweak that freezes the iOS Lock screen until a secret Activator gesture is used. This allows you to secure the Lock screen and prevent swipes, and Control Center or Notification Center invocation gestures.

CustomStatusBar: sanitize the iOS 8 status bar

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

CustomStatusBar is a brand new jailbreak tweak that allows you to customize the status bar in iOS 8. Customization is limited to hiding items, but in a future update you will be able to rearrange items in the status bar as well.

We've taken CustomStatusBar for a spin on video, and we'll show you how easy it is to clean up your iOS status bar in seconds.

NCMeters: add customizable system vital meters to Notification Center

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

NCMeters is a non-intrusive tweak for monitoring system vitals via Notification Center. It allows you to check CPU usage, memory and storage usage, and monitor both upload and download speeds.

NCMeters only runs when you have Notification Center open, so it's not going to be overly taxing on system resources when going about your daily business. To ensure accuracy, data is collected using traditional command line tools.

Along with those basics, NCMeters features quite a bit of customization. Have a look at our video walkthrough and see for yourself.

NoKeyPop: remove the keyboard pop-up animation when typing

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Since touch screen keyboards lack the movement of physical keyboards, software keyboards use other tricks to help you to see how your touches interact with the on screen keyboard. One of the tricks often employed is the simple keyboard animation. Animations, combined with haptic feedback and sound, can provide enough sense of touch that typing is made easier

But what if you removed the keyboard animations altogether? What would the typing experience be like then? NoKeyPop is a jailbreak tweak that lets you do just that...

EventOnStart: initiate events at system startup

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

EventOnStart is a new tweak that allows you to initiate events on system startup, which includes both resprings and traditional reboots. There are four events available to choose from: vibration, LED flash, sound, and a text message popup.

The headlining feature is without a doubt the startup sounds. In all, there are 42 sounds to choose from, with most of those sounds coming from the stock sound library featured in iOS. But there are couple of new sounds included that may pique your interest...
