Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
ModMyi broke the news today about a new project that jailbreak developer Dan Zimmerman is working on. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Zimmerman recently participated in TweakWeak, releasing utilities like the Airplane and Wi-fi Icon toggles.
If you liked those tweaks, you're going to love Zimmerman's next idea. The developer is now working on an entire set of settings toggles for your springboard...
Pastie.org is a place where you can type or paste anything. There's no user names or profiles, what you type or paste gets placed in chronological order with the other entries. If you're a fan of the service, you're going to love this next jailbreak tweak. Glue enables you to paste content to Pastie.org directly from the iOS Notes application.
Now instead having to open up Safari or another 3rd party application to access the Pastie service, you can simply upload from your Notes app with a single tap. This could save frequent users quite a few steps...
We know JailbreakMe is right around the corner. Comex keeps dropping hints at an imminent release but unfortunately there always seems to be bumps in the road. This time though, it appears that Comex is almost done ironing out the kinks of JailbreakMe.
In a tweet sent a few hours ago, Comex said he's running out of bugs to fix, which seems like an indication that we might finally see an iPad 2 jailbreak sooner than later...
Update: As Saurik confirmed in the comments section, this is not an update and jailbreakers should stay away from Cydia 1.1.2.
Earlier today, Cydia 1.1.2 went live. We haven't noticed anything major in terms of improvements, however, the only ones we've seen so far are some slight enhancements with search functions, and an overall slight improvement in performance, as well as a few bug fixes.
There's no changelog present in this release either, so it's only a small update...
If you don't know what TweakWeek is by now, you haven't been paying attention. Jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich started the initiative earlier this month, by releasing 1 free, simple jailbreak tweak every day for a week.
After Petrich completed 7 tweaks in 7 days, he passed the torch on to other jailbreak developers, each one taking a week of their own. We are nearing the end of Dan Zimmerman's week, but the developer seems to be going out in style...
If you haven't been following the progress of the iPad 2 jailbreak, let me give you a brief history. Within days of the device launching, iDevice specialists like Comex and other members of the Dev and Chronic Dev teams had their iPad 2s hacked.
The actual jailbreak part of the process was never really an issue. It was trying to bundle the exploit into a stable, legal package that would be easy enough for the general public to use...
When Apple announced iOS 5 a few weeks ago, there was some speculation that its hundreds of new features would deter a lot of folks from jailbreaking . In fact, iOS 5 was thought by some to be a jailbreak killer.
While it doesn't look like the promise of new features has phased the jailbreak community, there are some things in iOS 5 that are troubling. The Dev Team recently posted a report on some things they are seeing in iOS 5 that are making them nervous...
Apple seeded the 2nd beta of their iOS 5 software to developers last Friday. As typical of any new iOS firmware release, we have been asked if the new update can be jailbroken and unlocked.
Though we've heard the disappointing news that the new firmware has patched the Gevey SIM unlock, the software is certainly still jailbreakable. RedSn0w was the first to announce compatibility with the new beta, but Sn0wBreeze wasn't far behind...
The last three weeks have been largely spent by developers writing new widgets that work with Apple's new Notification Center, part of iOS 5. We've seen so many widgets come out of the jailbreak community in the last 21 days that we can't imagine Apple not giving normal App Store developers access to Notification Center's widgets, too.
A rare tweak to be shown off that doesn't involve iOS 5's Notification Center promises to bring iOS 5-like roll-down notifications to incoming calls, making them appear and work just like other notifications do...
Apple's implementation of multitasking in iOS 4 is undoubtedly one of the best in the business. Not necessarily in presentation, but in functionality. iOS' ability to maintain a high level of performance with dozens of apps open easily outperforms the competition.
The problem is, since you are able to have so many apps running without noticeable effects, sifting through your multitask bar can become a bit tedious. If you've been looking for an alternative way to browse your list of running applications, well, let me introduce you to RunningList...
Apple just dropped iOS 5 Beta 2, and, of course, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: can we jailbreak it?
The answer came from Dev Team frontman MuscleNerd who confirmed that it is still possible to jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 2 using the latest version of RedSn0w, the same that was released a couple weeks ago to jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 1...
When you put your iPhone on silent, there are certain notifications that can go unnoticed if your iPhone is in your pocket or purse. Sure, your iPhone will vibrate for missed calls and messages, but that's about the extent of the option.
As part of the ongoing TweakWeek daily challenge, jailbreak developer Dan Zimmerman has released a utility to remedy this problem. VibLert enables the vibrating notification option for all applications...
