AnyAttach: Attach Any Type of File to Your iPhone’s Email

The concept of attaching a file to a file to an email is practically as old as email itself. With the iPhone, you can attach photos and videos to your email, but that's pretty much where the fun ends.

This works fine for stock iOS installations where access to the native file system is restricted. For jailbroken iPhones, however, it's a definite limitation; hence the need for a jailbreak tweak like AnyAttach.

AnyAttach is a tweak that allows you to attach any file present on iOS's file system, directly to your outgoing email...

BackForwardList for Safari: Browser History, Evolved

As most of you guys and gals are well aware of, I'm the type of person that loves keeping things stock, or at least stock looking.

My car is stock, my iMac is stock, my iOS devices are jailbroken, but they look close to stock.

LaunchConfirm: Stop Accidentally Launching Apps

It's no secret that many of the tweaks found on Cydia are close replicas of already existing tweaks; LaunchConfirm is no exception.

Heavily borrowing from another recently released jailbreak tweak by the name of DoubleTapToOpen, LaunchConfirm aims to accomplish similar results, albeit using a slightly different method.

Both tweaks aim to prevent the end user from accidentally launching apps. DoubleTapToOpen requires a double tap to launch apps, while LaunchConfirm adopts a confirmation dialogue box in order to do so.

In the end, both tweaks are very similar, as you'll see in this full video walkthrough...
