Jailbreak Apps

‘More Icon Folder’ for the App-Happy iPhone User

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Even with the large amount of fantastic apps available for iOS these days, I try to keep my spring board as clean as possible. In fact, I was ecstatic when Apple announced the new folders feature in their last major overhaul of their iPhone software. In Apple-like fashion, the feature was easy to use, but came with some limitations.

You may only have 4 icons per row, with a limit of 12 total icons per folder. For most people that's more than enough to help you organize your cluttered home screen. But if you are a power user with more apps than the average joe, this limitation can be frustrating. But don't get too discouraged. If you are jailbroken, you certainly have options to fix this....

MySwitcher Makes iPhone Multitasking Better

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 2, 2018

When Apple introduced multitasking into their iOS platform, millions of iDevice users rejoiced. Although it was a bit of a struggle at first, as soon as developers started updating their apps to support multitasking, it became a really useful feature.

But as with most things Apple, what you see is what you get. There is no stock option to customize this multitasking bar. But luckily for us jailbroken folk, there's an answer. MySwitcher from BigBoss is available in Cydia and is more than up to the task of customizing your multitask bar...

‘Springtomize’ Brings an Insane Level of Springboard Customization to the iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated September 22, 2011

Okay Mr. Bigarella, you've outdone yourself this time. That's the only phrase that popped into my head upon installing Springtomize and discerning how gaudy his latest jailbreak tweak is.

There's simply no better description for Springtomize -- a jailbreak tweak that takes about 50 other jailbreak tweaks, and rolls them all into one.

In fact, there are so many options here, that it could prove to be a bit overwhelming for those just looking to add slight customizations to their iPhones.

But that's not who Springtomize is aimed at. It's aimed at those who want absolute 100% control over the look and feel of their iPhone; it does a pretty good job of doing so too...

Guest Author ∙ Updated January 28, 2019

CocoanutApps, the developers behind the popular YouTube/YourTube HD jailbreak app and Gremlin jailbreak framework, are set to bring us yet another awesome jailbreak application called, "Celeste".

Celeste is a jailbreak app which will enable you to send or receive files and photos via Bluetooth File Transfer from your jailbroken iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod touch or iPad running iOS4 or later.

‘Photector’ is a Jailbreak Tweak That Protects Your iPhone’s Photos

Jeff Benjamin ∙ March 9, 2011

Ever wish there was a quick and easy way to prevent your iPhone's photos from being accidentally purged?

Apple kind of skimped on the data protection elements of iOS; there's no native way to prevent someone from going into your camera roll, and deleting all of your photographs if they have access to your iPhone.

Again, the Cydia store comes to the rescue as another jailbreak tweak entitled Photector pops up on the scene to save the day...

Simulate Android and Windows Phone 7 on the iPhone With OSFaker

Alex Heath ∙ March 8, 2011

A genius jailbreak app called "OSFaker" allows you to replicate the Android and Windows Phone 7 OS on the iPhone. That's right, now you can easily show off your iPhone's chameleon abilities to your awestruck friends.

OSFaker isn't a complete OS simulator by any means, but it still gives you a nice taste of what Android and Windows Phone 7 feel like. Let's take a closer look...

CallerID Faker for iPhone Has All the Cool Features for Free

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Ok Cody, caller id applications have been around for ages, what's so special about this one? CallerID faker, in the Cydia Store, isn't a new concept or a new application. But it can be a hidden gem to those whom aren't aware of its existence.

Perhaps you've already played with CallerId Faker, or an application like it. SpoofApp was nice in its time, but after a five minute demo call, the app requests you purchase SpoofCards. This app, however, allows you to make an unlimited amount of free calls, with a few restrictions...

Improving Apps: How You Can Help

Guest Author ∙ March 3, 2011

There are few things more frustrating than discovering a bug or a crash in an app or tweak you just downloaded. But instead of writing a poor review or swearing off the iPhone altogether, you can actually do something to help fix the problem.

Most developers encourage feedback and would like to pinpoint the exact problem so that they can increase their sales. Here are a few steps you can take to help developers quickly fix their apps so that you can use your apps in the way they are described to work.

‘TruPrint’ Brings AirPrint Compatibility to Your Unsupported Printers

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated September 22, 2011

AirPrint -- a great concept -- not so great in execution. That's because Apple only provides AirPrint support to a small percentage of the world's printers.

Thanks to Intelliborn, the creators behind the premium apps MyWi, My3G, and others; that's all about to change.

That's because TruPrint promises to add support to the hundreds of printers that Apple has unapologetically neglected...

‘MobileNotifier’ Brings Drastically Improved Push Notifications to Your iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated September 22, 2011

I'll be honest with you; the iPhone's native way of handling push notifications leaves a lot to be desired. So anytime a tweak comes along that promises to improve the outdated stock system, my ears perk up.

MobileNotifier is one such improvement, and it is by far one of the best alternatives to Apple's cumbersome way of handling push notifications...

‘No Screenshot Flash’ Disables the Flash Effect When Taking a Screenshot

Jeff Benjamin ∙ February 26, 2011

Annoyed by that flash effect that happens every time you take a screenshot? Apparently you're not alone.

No Screenshot Flash is a tweak that performs the exact duties that its name implies.

Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that you can pretty much customize every facet of your iPhone, but is such a simple tweak even worth your time? Does it improve the user experience in any way?
