NotesTweak is an upcoming jailbreak tweak for iOS that allows you to enhance the stock Notes app. NotesTweak adds new features like the ability to save note snippets directly to the Home screen, upload notes to DropBox, and pin important notes to the top of your list.
If you're someone who relies on the stock Notes app to get things done, then you'll undoubtedly appreciate some of the new features that NotesTweak will bring to the table. Take a look inside for more info.
I rarely use ringtones with my iPhone. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I've heard my ringtone, because my iPhone stays on silent mode 99% of the time.
Sometimes I find that even the motor from the vibration is too much for me, so I quickly tap the volume buttons to completely silence the phone. Calmi is a jailbreak tweak for people like me. It's a tweak that allows you to turn the ringer/vibrate switch into a vibrate/silent switch.
It's been a very long time in the making, but the release of Abstergo is almost upon us. Abstergo, as you may remember, has been talked about and worked on for over a year. It is the concept and creation of Andrew Richardson and Joshua Tucker, and it promises to make managing your notifications better on iOS.
Needless to say, lots and lots of time has been invested into nearly every aspect of the tweak. Tucker, in a candid discussion with him via Twitter, stated that the pair worked hard on one particular portion of the tweak — the ability to add notifications back to the Lock screen — for a couple of weeks.
With its release a mere six days away, Abstergo is shaping up to be a tweak that has been well worth waiting for. I believe it truly will lend a better ability to managing iOS notifications. It's one of those tweaks that's a bit difficult to explain how it can help you without seeing it in action for yourself. For that reason, we've hit the video lab to give you an in-depth hands-on demonstration of the tweak's most intimate functions. Take a look past the break for the full scoop.
What would Cydia look like with a fresh coat of paint, ratings, reviews, and no ads? It could look a little something like this: a Cydia alternative design concept, which was dreamed up by Sentry, the designer of the popular Auxo jailbreak tweak.
In its current form, Cydia is okay with me, but there's no denying that having a refresh that looked something like this would be pretty sweet.
MessageSwiper is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to quickly switch between ongoing conversations in the Messages app using swipe gestures. You can cycle through conversations via left and right swipes to instantly go forward or backwards through your various message threads.
This is an extremely simple tweak that focuses on one particular area and does a commendable job of doing so. I do wish there was a swipe animation implemented when switching between message threads, but according to the developer, that's due in an upcoming update.
When Ryan Petrich releases a new tweak, people take note. And that's the case with his latest creation, Grabby, which is currently available as a beta in his personal repo.
Based on a concept by UI designer Sentry, Grabby is a customizable camera grabber tweak, and it allows you to slide the Lock screen's camera grabber to launch more apps. Take a look inside for a further description and screenshots...
I've received quite a few inquiries about my iPod touch's battery over the last few days. More specifically, people want to know exactly how I got new battery icon with the battery percentage in the middle.
This is the result of an upcoming jailbreak tweak called Live Battery Icon. It ditches the standard battery icon for a new-fangled circular indicator with the battery percentage neatly situated in the center.
Atom is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that brings a beautifully animated Lock screen launcher to your Home screen. Six apps can be configured to appear on your Lock screen as shortcuts, and you can launch directly into those apps by sliding and releasing a small little nub over the app you wish to launch. If you feel like unlocking your device to the Home screen, just slide the nub over the unlock icon located in the middle of the screen instead.
True, there have been Lock screen tweaks that have allowed you to launch directly into an app before, but none of them featured the beautifully animated style of Atom. Don't believe me? You don't have to take my written word for it, check out our exclusive hands-on video inside, and see for yourself.
Do you always use the scientific functions on iOS' Calculator app? Do you find the standard calculator to be worthless without scientific functions? If so, then try LandscapeCalc.
LandscapeCalc is a jailbreak tweak that locks the calculator's orientation into landscape mode. After the first rotation from portrait to landscape, the calculator will never return back to the default orientation until the Calculator app is killed or stops running.
A few new screenshots were posted on Apex Tweaks' official site, and one of them shows the way that Velox will interface with the Mail app. This is significant, because this wasn't available in the preview version that I demoed a few days ago.
The screenshot shows the typical Velox view, with what appear to be scrollable messages with titles and a two line preview of the message. It looks, judging from the screenshot, that a swipe gesture, or a tap of the email, may allow you to reply directly to messages from Velox's enhanced email folder.
So I just installed MyStat for Notification Center, as it just appeared on Cydia's BigBoss repo a few minutes ago. Here's a word of warning: don't bother installing it yourself.
To put it plainly, it's a sad attempt at a statistical Notification Center widget. Your time would be better spent elsewhere.
Did you know that you cannot enable or disable the flash while shooting video with the stock Camera app? I didn't either, until I stumbled upon a new jailbreak tweak called Record 'n' Torch. This is a tweak that lends the ability to be able to enable and disable the camera flash while in the middle of recording video. Check out more details inside.
