Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
One of my favorite things about the iOS iPod app is the fact that you can control the music from almost anywhere. You can pause or play tracks from the in-line remote, the lock screen, and even in the multitasking bar.
Jailbreaking opens up several other possibilities with utilities like Activator and SBSettings. But if all of these options weren't enough, you now have another tweak to consider. HomeScreenMusic gives you access to iPod controls right on your springboard...
NFC technology seems to be taking the mobile phone industry by storm. Not only do multiple Android and Nokia models sport the feature, Apple's upcoming iPhone 5 has even been rumored to contain the tech.
But if you're tired of waiting for Apple to make a next-gen iPhone announcement, and you don't plan on leaving iOS anytime soon, we've come across a way for you to enjoy NFC technology in your current device. All you need is an iPhone 4 and a bit of an adventerous side...
Sound off the alarm. It looks as if a few folks have gotten spoiled. Either that, or they’re beginning to take for granted the benefits that jailbreaking brings to the table; namely, the ability to tweak our iPhone’s in any matter that we please.
For that reason, I try my hardest — although it is admittedly difficult at times — to take an objective stance on any tweak that comes across my desk...
Jailbreak developers have seemingly been on a role over the last few weeks, producing top-notch tweaks like CallBar and Apptivator. Well the streak doesn't seem to be over, as yet another quality utility has landed in Cydia.

We don't usually post stuff like this on iDB —and we certainly don't have Bieber fever — but this was too good to pass up. Apparently, Justin Bieber uses a jailbroken iPhone.
As evidenced in one of his tweets, Justin Bieber uses a jailbreak Twitter extension called qTweeter. With over 11 million Twitter followers, we're sure Justin is familiar with the best Twitter clients out there.
Apple recently released iOS 4.3.5 to patch a few security vulnerabilities, and RedSn0w has already been confirmed to offer a tethered jailbreak on Apple's latest firmware.
If you're on an iPhone 4 with an unlocked baseband, jailbreaking iOS 4.3.5 with RedSn0w will not preserve your baseband. Luckily, a custom build of PwnageTool has been released to fix that problem.
Yesterday we told you about the secret Facebook for iPad app that was hidden inside the current, iPhone-only app. A workaround was discovered that allowed anyone to enable the official Facebook for iPad application with a few quick steps.
Not too soon after Facebook for iPad got leaked, Facebook actually started blocking access to the hidden iPad app. Now, the jailbreak community has come to our rescue again, and we've got a new teak that will re-enable the secret Facebook app on a jailbroken iPad...
Following the release of iOS 4.3.5 this morning, we issued our usual warning about staying away from the latest firmware so that you don't lose your jailbreak or unlock.
This warning is still in effect for those who don't want a tethered jailbreak. For the rest of you who don't mind plugging your iDevice in your computer every time you have to reboot, the word on the street is that RedSn0w can jailbreak iOS 4.3.5...
TechCrunch has reported that the rumored Facebook for iPad app is hidden within the iPhone app. How so?
A Twitter user by the name of Marvin Bernal found that changing the "UIDeviceFamily" from 1 to 2 in the info.plist of the iPhone app will display a hidden Facebook iPad app. This also hints that hidden app will become a universal application, meaning that the same app can be downloaded on both an iPhone and an iPad.
Here's how to get the secret Facebook for iPad app on your own iPad right now...
Do you remember the photos of a T-Mobile-branded iPhone BGR published a few months ago? The device was believed to be an internal Apple test unit for a couple of reasons, one of them being the custom "Confidential and Proprietary" text on the lock screen.
Well now, jailbreakers can add custom text to their lockscreens too, thanks to Internalizer. Chpwn's latest TweakWeek entry allows you to place text on your lockscreen to use as a reminder or display contact info in case your device is lost...
Google's latest attempt at a social network is Google+. After only a few weeks of being in a private beta, there are already 18+ million people registered on the network.
On Google+, Google requires that you provide your real, full name when making your account. While this may not prove to be a problem for most users, those under the internt's limelight that don't want their real name out there for all to see may find this requirement of Google's to be a dilemma.
Legendary unlock wizard and jailbreak hacker, MuscleNerd, has run into this problem with Google, and the results are that his Google+ account has been suspended...
There was a time when App Store goers didn't have to type their password in for every download. In fact, after entering it once, users had a 15 minute window to download software without having to constantly punch in a password.
However, after a few lawsuits and the threat of an FCC investigation, Apple changed the policy. Users now have to enter their Apple account passwords for every download, even a free one. Luckily, jailbreakers, there is now a tweak for that...
