Red Hat. – Different for the sake of better technology
After my last few screenshots and videos, I've received numerous questions on Twitter, via email, and via the comments section about my status bar icons. More specifically, people are dying to know how I was able to get those cool-looking Android L-inspired cellular signal and Wi-Fi signal icons.
These icons are added to the status bar by means of a WinterBoard theme downloadable for free from Cydia. In this post, I'll show you how you can add them to your iPhone.
The default Cydia repos hold the majority of the awesome jailbreak apps and tweaks that we all know and love, but from time to time, you'll need to use a third-party source for certain Cydia packages. Some third-party repos, like Ryan Petrich's beta repo, are one of the first things I add after jailbreaking my iPhone. Other repos aren't nearly as necessary, but still nice to have available.
In this post, I'll share with you 10 different third-party Cydia sources that you can add to Cydia to gain access to additional apps, tweaks, and themes. I'll also showcase one tweak from each repo that makes it worth consideration.
WatchNotifications is a brand new jailbreak tweak from developer Thomas Finch, that seeks to better unify the look of notifications on Apple Watch and iPhone. It does this by mimicking the look of Apple Watch notifications on your iPhone's Lock screen.
Available for $1.00 on Cydia's BigBoss repo, if you prefer the look of the notifications on your Apple Watch, then you'll most certainly be interested in WatchNotifications.
Another day, another new Cydia customization tweak. I guess this will continue to be the new trend for the foreseeable future, not that I'm complaining at all.
It's great to have tweaks that can finally customize Cydia without jumping through a ton of hoops. Nella is the latest such tweak. It lets you customize the colors of the installation interface background and buttons for a truly unique look.
In an interesting move, the folks over at TaiG have released a new version of their iOS 8.4 jailbreak tool for Windows, but have labeled it as a beta. Version 2.3.1 beta incorporates the latest version of Cydia, version 1.1.20, and that's about all.
According to the change log, no other changes were implemented into the TaiG tool outside of the Cydia update. For such a small change, it's weird that they've labeled it as being a beta, but maybe this will become a new trend going forward until they have enough successful testers to deem it a stable release.
It’s been a very long time since I made a post about jailbreak tweaks on the iPad, and as such, this post was long overdue. Although it’s nowhere near as popular as iPhone jailbreaking, iPad jailbreaks still have tons of perks. And while many of the same great jailbreak tweaks work well on the iPad, there are a few iPad exclusive or iPad-centric tweaks thrown into the mix to keep things spicy.

As a former Tweetbot user, there are some things I miss about that app, that I don't get to have on the stock Twitter app. One of the most glaring omissions is the lack of quick list access directly from the main feed.
Twitter++ (free on BigBoss) is a new jailbreak tweak that adds easy list access, along with a whole slew of other desirable features. It lets you easily share links and images from tweets, share tweets outside of twitter, share direct messages, download videos, and much, much more.
If you're looking to supercharge the stock Twitter app experience on iOS, then look no further than Twitter++.
Have you ever stumbled upon a new Cydia release that you wished to remember, but then later forgot about it? Wouldn't it be cool if you could designate your favorite tweaks so that you could easily remember and find them later?
That's the basic premise behind FavoriteTweaks, a new jailbreak tweak release from developer iMokhles. It allows you to save Cydia releases and manage them from one central location.
If you find the stock method of managing Cydia packages to be a bit cumbersome, then you're not alone. Fortunately, saurik has opened up Cydia to third-party modifications, and for that we all are very thankful.
As expected, many new jailbreak tweaks specifically designed for Cydia are beginning to appear. One of the latest tweaks, entitled SwipeForMore, looks like one of the most compelling one thus far.
SwipeForMore allows you to swipe on a tweak in order to access install and uninstall options. It can save you time, because you don't have to navigate into a tweak's individual page in order to manage it.
As an owner of a larger iPhone, OneHandWizard ($3.99) is one of my favorite jailbreak tweaks on Cydia. It allows you to quickly switch to a one-handed mode that's far and away more practical than the built in Reachability feature on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Earlier this year, we reviewed OneHandWizard, and it was met with high praise. It may seem like a simple thing, but if you're on a larger device like the 6 and 6 Plus, and you haven't tried it, I think you're missing out.
But don't fret. Here's your chance to see what you've been missing. We're giving away 10 copies of OneHandWizard to our readers!
It seems that the latest iOS 8.4 jailbreak has reinvigorated developers and drove them to update and release new tweaks in masses. This week is one of the most busy on in terms of releases that we've seen in a while, and we're not complaining. Quite the contrary!
