Jailbreak Apps

iAndroid, an Android Simulator for iPhone

Sébastien Page ∙ June 5, 2011

I've never been a big fan of Android. I tried really hard to like Google's mobile operating system but I never really made a deep connection with it. That was until a couple days ago, when I tried iAndroid, an Android simulator for jailbroken iPhone.

We've seen how to port Android to iOS before but it never really was a good set up. Things didn't work well, supported devices were limited, and it just wasn't pretty. Because iAndroid is not a port, but a simulator, it takes care of all these inconveniences to make the best of Android on your iPhone...

SplitMail, a New Jailbreak Tweak by Ryan Petrich

Sébastien Page ∙ June 3, 2011

Jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich just pushed SplitMail to his repo, his third tweak part of his TweakWeek challenge. SplitMail is a new tweak for jailbroken iPad that allows to display the left column of your emails in portrait mode in the same way it does while in landscape mode.

As usual, there is no icon or options in the Settings app. All you have to do is download the app on your iPad and view your emails in portrait mode...

PagePusher Brings Page-Styled Transitions to Your iPhone

Sébastien Page ∙ June 3, 2011

This is day #2 of Ryan Petrich's Tweak Week, a friendly challenge that is going to bring us one new tweak a day for 7 days straight. Yesterday Ryan gave us DietBar, and today is coming up with a new tweak called PagePusher.

PagePusher is a very simple tweak that brings page-styled transitions to your iPhone. It's not very easy to describe how this app works, so it's best to just have you watch the video below...

New Jailbreak App Lets You Easily Delete Phone Calls

Sébastien Page ∙ June 3, 2011

Ever wished you could delete individual phone calls from your call logs on your iPhone? If so, Call Delete is the app for you. Up until now, you could only delete none or all of the missed or placed phone calls from your iPhone, but Call Delete is going to change that by giving you a little more freedom.

Just like you would guess, Call Delete lets you delete specific phone calls from your iPhone logs. If you recently called your ex and you don't want your new girlfriend to find out, this is going to do the trick...

DietBar Makes Your iPhone Navigation Bar Thinner

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated February 17, 2018

And here we go, folks. Here comes DietBar, the first tweak by Ryan Petrich's TweakWeek. DietBar is a simple tweak that will get your iPhone or iPod Touch navigation bar on a diet by making it look thinner.

Like all tweaks, DietBar will not install any icon, and doesn't even come with any settings. Just download it from Cydia, launch an app, and look at the navigation bar being shrunk...

New App Lets You Add a Signature to Your Text Messages

Sébastien Page ∙ June 1, 2011

SMS Signature is a new application available for jailbroken iPhones that will allow you to, as you probably figured out, add a custom signature to text messages sent from your iPhone.

After downloading the application from Cydia, you can use the Settings app to configure SMS Signature. From there, you can create and activate a custom text signature. From now on, every time you send a text message, the signature will automatically be appended to it...

New Jailbreak App SlideAway Now Available in Cydia

Sébastien Page ∙ June 1, 2011

Last week we told you about an upcoming jailbreak app called SlideAway which seemed like a promising way to enhance your iPhone lockscreen. The app is now live and available to download from Cydia.

SlideAway brings substance to your iPhone's lockscreen, allowing you to access the apps you use the most without having to unlock the device. Additionally, SlideAway keeps track of your unread mails, SMS, missed calls or push notifications, displaying a count of unread items right from your lockscreen...

KeyVibrate – Native Haptic Feedback Anyone?

Cody Lee ∙ May 31, 2011

Though the iPhone's virtual keyboard has been named one of the best in the business, it still lacks a fairly major feature: haptic feedback. The little vibration that lets you know a key has been pressed is on nearly every other touchscreen smartphone on the market, but not the iPhone.

Luckily we have the jailbreak community to produce apps and tweaks that makeup for iOS shortcomings. Though there have been haptic feedback utilities in Cydia for quite some time now, they've never really impressed me. They always seemed to make iOS slower and less reliable, until now...

Drunk Texting, There’s an App for Preventing That

Sébastien Page ∙ May 31, 2011

I wanted to start this post by telling a drunk texting story of mine but I figured this might not be the right place for that. If like me you have experienced drunk texting before, you now how embarrassing the situation can be.

Now if you're a frequent drunk texter, you might either want to talk about it to a professional care provider or check out the TUI Checkpoint app in Cydia, a new jailbreak app that will help you prevent those embarrassing moments...

UnFolder – Delete Entire Folders with a Single Tap

Cody Lee ∙ Updated January 2, 2018

Getting rid of a folder can be quite time consuming, depending on how many applications it contains. If there are just 2 or 3 apps then it isn't that bad, but 5 or more can get pretty tedious.

That's because to delete a folder, you must first drag every application from the folder back to the home screen. After the last app is removed, the folder deletes itself. A new utility is coming to Cydia though, that could change all of that...

New Hack Turns Your iPad 3G into a Phone to Allow Calls, SMS, and More

Cody Lee ∙ May 28, 2011

While the jailbreak scene is home to a lot of apps and utilities that make our lives easier, it is also a hot bed for innovation. Since the Cydia App Store has very little submission guidelines, developers can use forbidden API's as their hearts' desire.

While you may not necessarily "need" this utility, it definitely falls in the innovative category. The guys over at iPhoneIslam have created an app that turns your 3G-modeled iPad into a talking, texting iPhone. Don't believe it? Video after the break...

Download Torrents On Your iPhone With iTransmission

Alex Heath ∙ May 28, 2011

iTransmission is a free jailbreak app that allows you to download torrents straight to your iPhone. We've talked about torrent apps before, but iTransmission works like the popular desktop torrent app of a similar name, Transmission.

Transmission has been a hugely popular torrent client on non-mobile platforms, and iTransmission aims at making it easy to download torrents right from your iPhone.
