These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
I have a love/hate relationship with BiteSMS. On the on hand, it's my most used application and I can't seem to find a decent replacement that offers as many features, but on the other hand, it's the only application that sometimes often causes my iPhone to crash.
I've tried to replace it many times but I always come back to it simply because its feature list has been unmatched so far. Today, BiteSMS gets that much better with version 6.3 now available in Cydia...
By default, Apple only gives you three places to access your iPod controls in iOS: the Lock screen, the app switcher, and the actual iPod app. This works out fine in most cases, but some folks want more.
And that's where jailbreaking comes in. There's dozens of tweaks to access these controls from other places like the Notification Center, and Spring board. And today, we add another one to the list...
One of the many benefits of having a jailbroken device is the ability to add functionality to it. And there are countless tweaks available that can make the easiest tasks, even easier.
Such is this case with this next tweak, called Turn to hangup. As the name suggests, it makes dismissing an incoming iPhone call as easy as flipping over your handset...
When it comes to jailbreak tweaks and apps, there are a few names, that when mentioned, instantly make you think of quality. IntelliBorn may come to mind, Ryan Petrich certainly deserves a nod, and of course you can't forget about folks like chpwn and Aaron Ash.
Obviously, there are a few others who are worthy of being included in the same conversation, including SBCoders — a developer that has recently created a significant amount of high quality tweaks.
Hot off the heels of Aero, Deck, and Color Banner, comes Dash — a new take on the app switcher, and one that is sure to turn a few heads. Take a look at our full video walkthrough for a hands-on preview...
A little over a week ago we reviewed BrowseInApp, an extremely handy jailbreak tweak that allows you to open URL links in apps like Messages and Mail without ever having to switch to Safari.
If you liked the tweak, and haven't purchased it yet, you'll be happy to know that iDB has teamed up with the developer to give away 10 copies of BrowseInApp to our awesome readers...
The jailbroken Apple TV community has been awfully quiet as of late. There still hasn't been any news on the ATV3 jailbreak, and there may never be, and innovation on the ATV2 front has sort of stalled.
Until today, that is. Kevin Bradley, better known as nitoTV, has released a new utility for jailbroken Apple TVs called nito Installer. The app makes installing software on hacked ATVs easier than ever before...
Doesn't it get under your skin when you try to watch a video on the big screen via AirPlay, and at the most, all you get is sound? Sometimes companies decide to restrict users from using AirPlay or HDMI output, which results in the frustrating scenario just mentioned.
This prevents certain apps like Amazon Instant Video, HBOGO, and DirectTV from being enjoyed on your television set via AirPlay using an Apple TV.
It's actually surprising that it took this long for a Cydia developer to come up with a fix for this, but it's finally here. UnrestrictPremium is a tweak that allows you to watch video via AirPlay mirroring or HDMI output, even if the developer of the app restricts users from doing so. Want to see how it works? Then step inside and watch our hands-on video walkthrough...
FireCore has today released a significant update for its first-generation Apple TV software known as aTV Flash. The app installs on jailbroken ATVs and adds a number of new features.
Among the changes in the update are Mountain Lion (or OS X 10.8) compatibility and some major performance enhancements. We've got the full change log after the break...
We already showed you how to miniaturize your banner notifications, but what about simplifying them? As you may have guessed, the appropriately named SimpleBanners steps up to the plate to handle that task.
SimpleBanners is a tweak that will allow you to remove certain facets of a banner notification. For instance, you can remove the body of text, the app icon, sound, etc. Check out the video walkthrough for the full scoop...
MiniBanners is a new jailbreak tweak that allows you to shrink your banners into miniaturized versions. To accomplish this feat, the contents of the banners are removed, leaving only the app icon, the name of the app pushing the banner, and the number of notifications received.
Along with this, MiniBanners retains all of the functionality of a normal sized banner. Check out our video walkthrough inside.
BattSaver is a new jailbreak app from Xvolks — probably best known from his work on the Absinthe jailbreak tool.
He's been cooking up his latest effort for quite some time now, and it's received endorsements from many users, including fellow Chronic Dev Team associate, pod2g.
BattSaver touts the ability to increase the iPhone's battery life; up to double, and at times, even more. Does BattSaver live up to these lofty claims? Check inside for the full in-depth video walkthrough and analysis...
Earlier today, Apple released iOS 6 beta 4 to developers. We've discovered a handful of new features and other changes in the update, but there's one thing that stayed the same.
Dev Team frontman MuscleNerd has just confirmed that beta 4 is still jailbreakable with the latest version of RedSn0w (0.9.13 dev 3). There's just a few things to remember...
