If you are looking for something to take your mind off of the iPad 2 jailbreak leak everyone keeps talking about, I've got just the thing. A new utility has been released in Cydia that adds another cool customization option to your springboard.
Alexandros Melakis brings us this new tweak that enables you to set your icons to fade in and out when switching between springboard screens. The jailbreak developer says SBFader's purpose is to "Enhance your springboard experience..."
AirServer is a new jailbreak app available in Cydia that allows you to stream content from your computer to your iOS devices, and from one iOS device to another. To be able to use this app at its full potential you will need a Mac with iTunes 10.2 or newer and an iPhone or iPad with firmware 4.2.1 or newer. All the mentioned devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Once you’ve purchased and installed your copy from Cydia (no respring required) on your iPhone and/or iPad you can start streaming content right away...
CocoaNuts, the developers behind popular Cydia tweaks such as Yourtube 2 and MarkRead, have after what has felt like an eternity, finally updated their latest bluetooth file sharing app Celeste to v1.0- 73.
Celeste was met with bitter reception after its initial release with a plethora of bugs found by users who had purchased it at its limited time launch price of $7.99. Although initial releases are expected to have bugs and faults, Celeste was in no shape to be released. It also didn't help that at the time, its dependency tweak ActionMenu was not updated for iOS 4.3 and wasn't reportedly playing nice with Celeste. It was broken.
Initial Twitter updates from the developers appeared promising but with its last update on Celeste's status on the 10th of April many users were left in the dark as to Celeste's future other than the promise that the tweak would be fixed "…very, very soon".
An update was finally pushed out of no where on June 13th, with no announcement of its release on the @CelesteSupport and @CocoaNuts Twitter feeds...
ModMyi broke the news today about a new project that jailbreak developer Dan Zimmerman is working on. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Zimmerman recently participated in TweakWeak, releasing utilities like the Airplane and Wi-fi Icon toggles.
If you liked those tweaks, you're going to love Zimmerman's next idea. The developer is now working on an entire set of settings toggles for your springboard...
Once upon a time I unlocked my iPhone 3GS and used it on T-Mobile in order avoid AT&T's more expensive service.
It was a decent experience, but two noteworthy flaws marred it. Number one; I obviously had no 3G-network access since the iPhone doesn't contain the circuitry needed to piggyback T-Mobile's 3G network. Number two; I had no access to Visual Voicemail.
Of course there's no way to fix problem number one, that's an inherent issue regarding hardware. Problem number two, though, is fixable.
In this video tutorial, I'll show you how to use the jailbroken version of YouMail to get real visual voicemail on your iPhone for free...
Pastie.org is a place where you can type or paste anything. There's no user names or profiles, what you type or paste gets placed in chronological order with the other entries. If you're a fan of the service, you're going to love this next jailbreak tweak. Glue enables you to paste content to Pastie.org directly from the iOS Notes application.
Now instead having to open up Safari or another 3rd party application to access the Pastie service, you can simply upload from your Notes app with a single tap. This could save frequent users quite a few steps...
Been itching for a quick and easy way to convert the photos in your camera roll to black and white? If so, then GrayPix might be the jailbreak tweak that cures what ails you.
A TweakWeek tweak that features no settings or app installations, GrayPix places a convenient 'Convert to Grayscale' button into your camera roll's list of sharing options.
From there, it's just a matter of tapping the button and letting GrayPix do the rest...
Don't you just hate running iPhone-only apps on your large iPad screen? When you enlarge them they look all pixelated and ugly, but when you keep them at normal size, much of the iPad's screen goes to waste.
Your disdain for iPhone-only apps might soon change if this jailbreak app in development ever sees the light of day.
We're assuming the tentative name of the app is Polyonix judging from the screenshot, and it allows you to run multiple iPhone apps on your iPad's screen at the same time...
iOS might be the mobile platform to beat when it comes to gaming, but you'd be hard pressed to find me something as unique as SpringBoard Invaders on the platform.
As its name implies, SpringBoard Invaders brings a Space Invaders inspired arcade game right to your iPhone's SpringBoard.
That means that there's no need to even launch an app in order to play it; all you do is swipe to the last screen on your iPhone, and let the games begin...
DreamBoard, the popular iPhone theme solution, has gone free on Cydia after previously selling for $2.99. Dreamboard is a popular Winterboard alternative that can mimic the looks of Android, Windows 7 etc.
Dreamboard works differently than Winterboard, because it doesn't require you to respring each time you switch themes, and it can achieve deep UI customizations without having to install other jailbreak applications...
Do you always find yourself moseying into the Contacts app to add new friends, family, and acquaintances?
Doing so can be somewhat of a clunky affair, especially if you need to do so while in a hurry.
NewContact is a jailbreak tweak available on Cydia that takes some of the thought process out of adding new contacts to your iPhone's address book...
WebLeaps seems to be one of those tweaks that fell through the cracks. I'd honestly never heard of this tweak before Sebastien mentioned it to me, but I'm glad that he did.
That's because WebLeaps allows you to easily navigate some of the web's best sites by means of custom search shortcuts.
You can even create your own custom search shortcuts with a bit of plist editing know-how.
Check inside as I go one-on-one with WebLeaps. I even create my own custom iDB search shortcut...
