This new Velox add-on lends a stopwatch to your Home screen

As we predicted in our Velox walkthrough, the add-ons for the tweak are proving to be popular, even at the outset of its release. For example, Stopwatch for Velox is a brand new jailbreak add-on for Velox that places a handy stopwatch on your Home screen.

In pure Velox fashion, this add-on allows you to perform a swipe gesture on the stock iOS clock to reveal a usable stopwatch. Take a look inside to see it in action..

I’m Listening: Share your now playing track from anywhere

Are you finding that iOS' options are a bit limited when it comes sharing information about the music you're currently listening to? If so, then I'm Listening might be the jailbreak tweak for you.

I'm Listening is a recently released tweak on Cydia, and it allows you to customize the various sharing activities available for your currently playing song. The tweak works with the stock Music app, and also plays nice with 3rd party music apps like Spotify. I'm Listening utilizes a variety of methods: gestures in the app switcher, gestures on the Lock screen, and Activator gestures, in order to share your now playing track.

How to get an iTunes inspired MiniPlayer on your iPhone

MiniPlayer is a new jailbreak tweak that allows you to add an iTunes inspired mini player to the iPhone. The player can be easily docked on the right-side of the iPhone's screen, and revealed with a simple tap gesture on the album artwork.

MiniPlayer features superb animations, and is based on a concept by Sentry, the designer behind Auxo. If you're looking for a way to spice up the music playing experience on your iPhone, then this is a tweak that you want to check into.

Show off your taste in music with FullScreen Album Art

Have you been looking for a way to spruce up your iPhone's Lock screen, without needing to install a bulky tweak like WinterBoard? If so, you might consider giving FullScreen Album Art by jailbreak developer bushe a shot.

The tweak's name completely gives away it's one and only function, which is to enlarge the album art image on your device's Lock screen while you're listening to music. That way, you can show off your favorite music while you rock out...

Photo Organizer Pro is out with new features, better iPad support and more

Good news Photo Organizer fans. The developer lordscotland has listened to your feedback, and has subsequently posted an update to the app with new features, sort options and more. Actually, he rolled the update into a whole new tweak.

The original Photo Organizer, which was released back in February, is a simple tweak that allows you to copy, delete and rearrange pictures in the stock Photos app. And the Pro version is exactly like that, but with a few more options...

FullScroll hides the title bar when scrolling in third party apps

It seems like well-known jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich has been extremely busy as of late. Earlier today, we told you that his new Do Not Disturb tweak 'Luna' landed on Cydia. And now we've got another one to show you.

Have you ever noticed when scrolling in an app like Chrome or Facebook, the title bar (top of an app that contains text or buttons) disappears? It's kind of cool, right? Well with FullScroll, you can make all of your apps do it...

Luna now available in Cydia

A couple days ago, we gave you a preview of Luna, a new jailbreak tweak that lets you turn Do Not Disturb on and off, directly from the Lock screen or from Notification Center with a simple pull down gesture. Additionally, when your device is unlocked, Luna will display notifications with non intrusive banners.

Luna, which was born from a concept by Sentry and developed by Ryan Petrich, is now available in Cydia for two bucks...

Velox updated with new activation method and several bug fixes

Velox, arguably one of this year's most highly anticipated jailbreak tweaks, finally landed in Cydia this weekend after what seemed like several weeks of waiting. Initial feedback for the tweak has been mostly praise, but there have been some scattered reports of bugs.

Of course, bugs are typical in first-version software releases, as are the bug-squashing '0.1' updates that follow them. And today, Velox has received its 0.1 update that includes a new, double-tap activation method, and a handful of other improvements and bug fixes...

Velox now available on Cydia

Good news folks, the moment we've all been waiting for is here. Velox — the highly anticipated jailbreak tweak that allows you to interact with your Home screen icons to access notifications, quick functions, and more — is now available on Cydia for download.

Last month, we brought you a sneak preview of Velox. And with more than 100,000 views, it seems like many of you agree with us on how useful this tweak could be, and are looking forward to trying it out. Well today, we're happy to report that you finally can...

Piano Passcode lets you unlock your iPhone by playing a familiar tune

After some teasing, Piano Passcode has finally touched down on the Cydia Store, and I can confirm that it's pretty sweet. The jailbreak tweak, which I've been testing for the last few days, allows you to replace, or augment the iPhone's Lock screen passcode security system with 7 piano keys.

Each of the keys makes a distinctive sound, just as you would expect from a piano. It's not perfect, but when used correctly, it can do a good job of spicing up the iOS Lock screen. Take a look inside as I break down the ins and out of Piano Passcode, and show you how to go about configuring it to work for you.

Luna is an upcoming tweak that lends greater control over Do Not Disturb

Looking for a way to maximize the iPhone's built-in Do Not Disturb functionality? You may choose to look in Cydia for some of the already existing tweaks, or you may decide to hold out for this upcoming collaboration between Ryan Petrich and Sentry.

Yes, Petrich needs no introduction, he's a prolific developer that's created some amazing things for jailbroken devices. Sentry, too, is very well-known for his design concepts and meticulous attention to detail. Luna is based off of Sentry's concepts, which can be seen after the break.

So what does a collaboration between these two look like? Better yet, will you find it to be useful? Look inside for a quick preview of their upcoming tweak called Luna.

TinyUmbrella updated with support for iOS 6.1.4

Earlier today, Apple unexpectedly released a new version of iOS. The update brought the firmware to version 6.1.4, and only included a single item in its change log: an updated audio profile for the iPhone 5.

Folks who are currently jailbroken on iOS 6.1.2 or lower should obviously stay away from the evasi0n-killing software. But for those of you who already updated, there's a new version of TinyUmbrella out...
