Jailbreak

SideSettings is a recently released tweak that lets you open up the settings for any app as a sidebar. Instead of having to exit the app, go to the Settings app, and access the app’s preferences, SideSettings immediately takes you to the settings of whatever app you have open using a simple swipe gesture.

Of course, all apps don’t have preferences to configure. In cases such as these, SideSettings will open up the stock Settings app instead.

I really enjoy SideSettings based on its originality alone. It’s a must see tweak that you have to witness on video to appreciate its ingenuity. Have a look at our full video walkthrough inside.

Arco is a recently release jailbreak collaboration between Jack Willis and Sentry. The release, which falls under the A3tweaks umbrella, places a visual music timeline indicator in your device's status bar.

The design of Arco is very much akin to the download animation that happens in the App Store in iOS 7. In iOS 7 there's a round circle indicator that wraps around a button, which is indicative of the download progress. In the case of Arco, the "progress" is in relation to a currently playing song.

Although it's a solid tweak, the best thing about Arco isn't about design or functionality. The great thing about Arco is where the money goes when you purchase a copy. A3tweaks has generously decided to forward all proceeds to Kyle Matthews' Because of Ezra charity, which helps to fund research for neuroblastoma, a terrible form of pediatric cancer.

One of the best jailbreak tweaks to touch down in some time is now available for purchase on the Cydia Store. I'm referring to Apex, the new jailbreak tweak collaboration from A3tweaks.

Apex is an innovative new release that allows you to group sets of app icons together, and reveal each individual app using a swipe up or swipe down gesture. This means that you can have what appears to be a single app on your Home screen, when in all actuality, it's hiding up to four additional apps.

Apex is a great way to get by without using folders. It allows you to quickly group items together, and launch them just as fast using intuitive gesture commands. Have a look inside at our full video walkthrough, as I explain why this is a must have jailbreak release for you.

Apex is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that allows you to nest app icons on your Home screen in a way that may eliminate the need for folders. It's an especially cool tool for grouping like applications such as the stock Mail app, and many of the other popular 3rd party Mail apps.

Apex is from Sentry's a3tweaks, which has been responsible for a long repertoire of awesome jailbreak tweaks, including Auxo. Indeed, Apex works as awesome as it looks, and I'm confident that many will enjoy this upcoming release. Have a look at our brief video preview inside for more details.
