These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
MultiBoot is a tweak that allows you to quickly respring, reboot, safe mode, or power off your iPhone using a Home screen app icon. This same concept has been accomplished time and time again on the Cydia store, so MultiBoot doesn't exactly have originality on its side.
That being said, MultiBoot is a solid tweak that performs its functions reliably. Check out our full video walkthrough for the full details on how it works...
Let's be honest here for a second. Jailbreak apps don't exactly have a reputation for being easy on the eyes. In the majority of cases, they are fairly basic, sometimes crude, but more times than not they get the job done. And when it comes to jailbreak apps or tweaks, getting the job done is enough; we're not overly picky when it comes to aesthetics.
But when a jailbreak app appears on the scene that looks like it was designed to move units on the App Store, you can't help but take note. AppAnalytics — an app usage app for jailbroken devices — is a great example of this. It's a beautiful looking jailbreak app, and it too gets the job done...
Aicon is a recently released tweak, which allows you to add one or more special effects to your Home screen app icons. There are nearly a dozen effects to choose from, and each effect can be stacked to create a greater variety of customizations.
With effects like Sepia, Glass, Black & White, Invert, Gloom, and Xray, Aicon is a surefire way to create an original look on your iPhone's Home screen. Take a look at our video walkthrough inside for more details...
The Lock screen has been the subject of many jailbreak tweaks over the years, and it continues to be just as popular as it was in the beginning.
Case in point — LockWee — a tweak that allows you to swipe aside your Lock screen clock to reveal various Notification Center widgets of your choosing. Full details on video ahead...
Searching for a quick way to access meta data for photos stored on your iPhone? If you're jailbroken, then a new Cydia tweak might be just what the doctor ordered.
PhotoExif is a recently released tweak that makes it easy to access photo meta data using the photo app's share button. Take a look inside for the full video walkthrough...
Many people will think this tweak is completely devoid of usefulness, and to an extent I agree, but you have to admit that the idea and execution is original, and well done.
VibeTime is a jailbreak tweak available on Cydia, that allows you to tell the current time using vibrations. That means that it's totally within the realm of possibilities to tell the time without pulling your phone out of your pocket.
Sure, not many will find a real world use for this, but the idea and execution is pretty interesting...
DreamCoin is one of those jailbreak tweaks that is so goofy, you almost can't stop yourself from laughing out loud. As you can probably tell from the video within, even I was barely able to contain myself.
DreamCoin is nothing more than a glorified Activator toggle that sits on your Home screen. You can assign it one "dream" aka, an Activator action, and execute said action by tapping the coin residing on your Home screen. Dreams? Coins? Is this real life?
The fact that the iPod touch lacks a physical mute button, shouldn't prevent one from muting their device in style. A new jailbreak tweak, entitled TapVolumeToMute, allows you to do just that.
Even if you have an iOS device with a physical mute button, this is a tweak that you still might want to give a go. That's because it allows you to easily mute your device with a quick tap on the volume heads up display. More details inside...
All you have to do is just say the word Barrel, and people take note. Yes, Barrel, the staple jailbreak tweak, and arguably one of the most compelling reasons for jailbreaking your iDevice when it comes to visual modifications, has been updated.
The new mode (transition), is called Whirl. It's safe to say that mere screenshots don't do Barrel, or this latest update any justice. On that note, head inside and take a look at our full video breakdown...
As you all have probably figured out by now, I'm a huge fan of Google Chrome. There are many reasons why I prefer Chrome over any other web browser, and one of the foremost reasons has to do with the Omnibox.
The Omnibox in Google chromes combines your normal address box with a search box for an all encompassing box that conveniently performs both functions. Other browsers have been slow about adopting this obvious improvement in navigation, but at least Apple is starting to show some signs that they plan on heading in that direction — Safari on OS X Mountain Lion features an Omnibox, after all.
When it comes to iOS, though, Safari is still lagging a bit behind. Even the iOS 6 beta version of Safari lacks this feature. That's where this new jailbreak tweak plans to step up to the plate. Safari Omnibar is a recently released tweak that adds an Omnibox to Safari, whether Apple plans to do so or not.
There's a new widget available that allows you to initiate a Cydia search via a Notification Center widget, and it's appropriately titled Cydia-SearchNC.
This free download can be enabled via the Notifications panel in the Settings app, and doing so creates a handy search field directly in Notification Center.
Check out our video walkthrough that showcases how this jailbreak widget performs, after the break...
How many times have you mistakenly deleted one of your Home screen bookmarks on your iOS device? If that has happened to you in the past, then you may want to check out this new jailbreak tweak called BookLock.
Unfortunately, the developer of BookLock felt that this functionality was worth a $1.00 on Cydia's BigBoss repo. A dollar for a tweak that features nothing more than a single toggle to prevent Home screen bookmark deletion? Seriously? My advice to you is to just be careful when deleting items on your device...
