Upcoming ‘AppButton’ tweak brings a unique app switching method to iOS

I love jailbreaking for many reasons, but one of the primary reasons is that it allows developers to bring unique ideas to fruition. One such idea is AppButton, a new jailbreak tweak that places a very different twist on the concept of app switching. AppButton is not available on the default Cydia repos yet, and is still in Alpha stages. Even so, it's a tweak that shows tons of potential and promise.

Photo Organizer 8 adds power-user features to the stock Photos app

Let's face it; the stock Photos app in iOS 8 is severely lacking when it comes to power user features. Just to name one example, there's no way to select a range of photos. Instead, you have to tap on each photo that you wish to select one by one. That's really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the lack of power-user features in the stock Photos app. Fortunately for jailbreakers, Photo Organizer 8 solves many of the stock app's shortcomings.

New SideBySide jailbreak tweak concept brings true multitasking to iOS

Hamza Sood, a well-known and well-respected iOS developer, is mulling over the possibility of creating a new iOS jailbreak tweak for true multitasking. Dubbed SideBySide, the tweak would bring true side-by-side simultaneous multitasking to iPads and iPhone, and would use Activator gestures as a means of invocation.

After seeing the progress and popularity of ReachApp, Sood is having second thoughts about proceeding with development of SideBySide. I think that would be a mistake, because SideBySide looks different enough from ReachApp to be extremely compelling in its own right.

Nuntius brings native iOS 8 quick reply to WhatsApp

One of the best things about using the Messages app in iOS 8 is the quick reply interface. Sadly, third party apps don't have access to the quick reply API, so they are limited in this regard. Wouldn't it be nice if one of your favorite messaging apps got access to real native iOS 8 quick reply? That's the exact premise behind Nuntius, a brand new jailbreak tweak that brings true native iOS 8 quick reply to WhatsApp.

TouchPosé+ goes free on Cydia and adds official iOS 8 support

Many people over the years have asked me how I get the little touch indicator on my screen-captured videos. No, it's not Display Recorder, it's TouchPosé+. Folks, this is one of my go-to tweaks, and one of the secrets behind my videos, and it's now absolutely free of charge and officially compatible with iOS 8.

How to remove all pending notifications at once

Notification Killer is a new tweak released in Cydia that lets you remove all pending notification that are in Notification Center at once, saving you dozen of potential taps on the screen. The concept isn't new by any means, and many other tweaks have offered similar functionality in the past, but Notification Killer appeared at the right time in my Cydia feed, as I was recently looking for a tweak to do exactly what it does.

QuickSiri: invoke Siri with a specific phrase

Do you find yourself using the same Siri commands over and over? I know I do. I always use Siri to tell me the time, and I always use Siri to set alarms. My Siri usage is very limited, so a jailbreak tweak that lets you instantly invoke Siri with a canned command seems right up my alley. Enter QuickSiri, a brand new Cydia release that makes it ridiculously easy to get a fast response from Siri via a canned inquiry.

Locus: whitelist location services on an app-by-app basis

Locus is a brand new jailbreak tweak that allows you to selectively whitelist location services access on an app-by-app basis. The tweak, which features a simple preference panel in the stock Settings app, contains switches for each app that you have installed on your iOS device. If you're looking to have more granular control over the apps that have access to your location, then look no further than Locus.
