One of the nicest things about SBSettings is the ability to quickly view your iPhone’s important vital statistics such as available RAM and IP Addresses.
What if you could access that same information quickly from your iPhone’s lock screen? Wouldn’t that be neat?
With TapClockInfo -- a jailbreak tweak for the iPhone -- now you can. Check inside for a video demonstration of it in action…
A couple of days ago we reported that the iPad Camera Connection Kit stopped working after using JailbreakMe 3.0. It looks like another issue has reared its ugly head which looks to affect jailbroken devices on a wider scale.
Reports are surfacing that the popular jailbreak tweak BiteSMS is conflicting with JailbreakMe 3.0. Confirmed on the BiteSMS forums, that sending a text message through BiteSMS' quick reply feature will crash your device and send it into an infinite boot loop. The only solution to remedy this as of writing is to restore your iDevice...
Have you ever wanted to radically -- and I do mean radically -- change the look of your iPhone's app icons?
There are about a million ways to accomplish this feat, and Bigify+ is one of the more straightforward methods of doing so.
At $2.00 on Cydia, Bigify+ gives jailbreakers a wealth of options geared towards changing the way your iPhone's app icons look and feel...
This morning I stumbled upon a tweet from Josh Tucker of ModMyi indicating that Swype has been ported to iOS. I've confirmed it works on all iOS devices, including the iPad 2.
Needless to say, this exciting news piqued my interest immediately, and I just had to try it out for myself.
The purpose of Swype is to allow you to type without lifting your finger off the keyboard. Many claim that this makes the typing experience much better on a handheld device.
If you didn't know, Swype is available on pretty much every other platform sans iOS, and it's loved by its fans.
Note that you will of course need a jailbroken iPhone to try out Swype, and again it is in beta; so don't expect it to work perfectly.
Check out my video walkthrough of the Swype beta in action...
Ryan Petrich has updated the popular jailbreak tweak Activator.
Activator lets you assign activation gestures to any application. A common example of this is swiping the status bar left or right to bring up SBSettings. It can be highly customized and best of all, it's free. Chances are if you already have some common well known jailbreak tweaks installed, Activator will already be on your device.
Next time you open up Cydia, Activator's 1.5.5 update will be waiting for you...
Between being a handheld gaming device and portable media player, iDevices get passed around a lot. This can leave personal information exposed, such as, pictures, messages, and of course emails.
While there are already ways to password protect your device, this new jailbreak utility removes the hassle. For folks who are particularly concerned with privacy when it comes to their email, here's HiddenMail...
The jailbreak community is responsible for a number of iDevice enhancements and innovations. Jailbreak developers are constantly giving our iDevices features that Apple for one reason or another has left out.
A perfect example is BTStack GPS. The utility allows you to connect an external GPS unit to your iPad to use with mapping software. Don't own an external GPS unit? The community's got you covered there too. A new app called TryGpsOut will allow you to use your iPhone instead...
Ever wanted to see your app icons randomly flip as if you Home screen was filled with a dozen miniature revolving doors?
To be honest, me neither; but it does look nice once the effect is there and you can see it in action.
Random Icon Flip is one of those tweaks that sounds horrible while hearing it described, but it actually starts to grow on you after using it...
Few arcade games are as easily recognizable and ubiquitous as Breakout. That's why it's only appropriate that along with a Space Invaders remake, a Breakout remake graces the iPhone's SpringBoard in the form of a jailbreak tweak.
That tweak is called SpringBlock Breaker, and it allows you to play a remixed version of Breakout using some strategically placed app icons, and the iPhone's accelerometer.
Is this entry as interesting as SpringBoard Invaders? Check inside for the answer...
AnimateBattery is a neat little jailbreak tweak that -- as its name states -- animates the battery on your lock screen while your iPhone is charging.
This is the forth TweakWeek entry in the series by developer Elias Limneos, who has in my opinion, some of the better tweaks that TweakWeek has seen thus far.
Check inside for the full video details regarding the ins and outs of this free download from Cydia...
Over the last month or so we've seen several jailbreak utilities end up in the lock screen slider. First came FlashLock, and then CameraLock (both developed by Filippo Bigarella). These tweaks give you quick access to iPhone functions without having to unlock the device.
In the spirt of those 2 titles comes another tweak embedded into your lock screen slider. Like the aforementioned utilities, SuperSlider adds an icon to your slider to give you quick access to any application...
TweakWeek seems to have hit a certain stride under Elias Limneos. The prolific developer of this week's TweakWeek entries is back at it again with something original, something that I think you're definitely going to like.
This latest tweak is called ArrangeStatusBar, and it allows you to use a finger and manually arrange the icons residing in your iPhone's status bar.
Needless to say, I'm thoroughly impressed with its accuracy and abundance of cool factor oozing from this tweak...
