HideMe7: a tweak designed to hide UI elements in iOS 7

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 16, 2018

HideMe7 is a new jailbreak tweak that's aimed at folks looking to remove specific UI elements from iOS. The tweak, which is presented as a long list of toggles broken up into various UI related sections, works in some areas, but fails in others.

HideMe7 is a decent way to simplify the look of your iOS installation, but you'd probably be better off holding off for the upcoming release of Springtomize 3, and save your $0.99 to go towards it instead. Have a look at our video walkthrough inside to see what I mean.

How to simplify the look of the Lock screen on iOS 7

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 16, 2018

One of the better looking Lock screen tweaks for iOS 6 now has an iOS 7 counterpart. SubtleLock (iOS 7) is a brand new jailbreak tweak that allows you to make subtle changes to the Lock screen in iOS.

The idea behind the tweak is to make the Lock screen appear simpler, less cluttered and easy to read. SubtleLock was one of my favorite lock screen tweaks available for previous iOS firmware, and I'm happy to report that this new tweak works just as well as past iterations.

How to slim down banner notifications in iOS 7

TinyBar is a brand new jailbreak tweak that allows you to slim down the look of incoming banner notifications in iOS 7. The tweak, which is configurable from the stock Settings app, also features the ability to implement scrolling for messages that eclipse the width of the iPhone's screen.

TinyBar is an interesting way to go about customizing the look and feel of banner notifications. Take a look at our video walkthrough inside for a demonstration of how it works.

How to fix Status Bar issues after jailbreaking iOS 7

Joe Rossignol ∙ January 22, 2014

Jailbreaking an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch provides many benefits that otherwise aren't possible on a stock device, although there are occasionally a few bugs that may be encountered along the way. One prominent issue that users have been facing with the iOS 7 jailbreak is the status bar turning black and not disappearing in stock apps like Calculator, Camera, Photos and Weather. This was an annoying nuisance that I was facing on my own iPhone up until this morning, when I discovered StatusBarFix2…

SPTouch, a new tweak by Paolo Smedile is yet another option. This tweak brings a small Home button anywhere on your screen that you can tap at any time to go back to your Home screen...

How to make “slide to unlock” appear immediately on the iPhone 5s

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 16, 2018

NoDelay64 is a recently released jailbreak tweak for iPhone 5s owners. It's a tweak that removes the delay from the appearance of the "slide to unlock" on Touch ID enabled devices.

Apple adds a delay to the famous "slide to unlock" text, because it assumes that most iPhone 5s users with Touch ID enabled will be using Touch ID instead. This new tweak gets rid of that delay with a simple Cydia install. Have a look past the jump to see how it works on video.

ClipShot: improved screenshot management in iOS

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 16, 2018

ClipShot is a jailbreak tweak that was just released today. It allows you to save screenshots to your iPhone's camera roll, clipboard, or both.

If you're anything like me, and you take tons of screenshots every single day, then ClipShot may be worth investigating. It's not perfect at this point, as it does have some bugs, but it also shows loads of promise. Take a look at our video walkthrough inside for more information.

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 16, 2018

If you have a special hatred for the Yahoo branding, then this is one of the tweaks that you can use to get rid of it. We've got a before and after comparison video inside for you to check out.

Pebble Profiles: suppress Pebble notifications while your iPhone is unlocked

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 16, 2018

If you're a Pebble Smartwatch wearer, then you are probably already quite familiar with the device's idiosyncrasies. As I stated in my review of the device, I like my Pebble, but it's definitely got a few opportunities for improvement.

One of the more glaring issues is solved by a recently released jailbreak tweak dubbed Pebble Profiles. This tweak suppresses notifications on the Pebble when your iPhone is unlocked. The end result is a great reduction of duplicate, and hence redundant, notifications. Take a look at our video inside for a demonstration of how it works.
