If you've been looking for Facebook integration in iOS, a new jailbreak tweak called FBUploader allows you to upload photos straight from the iPhone's Camera Roll to Facebook. Typically, you would have to open the Facebook app, attach an image, add a caption, tags, etc. and upload from there.
With FBUploader installed on your jailbroken iPhone, you will have the option to upload to Facebook from inside the iPhone's Photos app...
The iOS Mail app is fairly straightforward. It houses all the basic functions of a standard email client, along with some nifty Exchange options. However, there is certainly room for improvement.
One of the main features missing is the ability to delete multiple emails quickly. If you have 1 or more inboxes that sees 100+ emails daily, you know what a pain it is to go through and select each message one at a time to delete them. Luckily, Cydia now has a tweak for that...
Now that 4.3.3 jailbreaks are available, you may be looking for some new tweaks to improve your iPhone experience. Luckily, the jailbroken app store known as Cydia is chock-full of them.
One of the latest tweaks to enter the underground app store is a nice, tiny extension for your Facebook application. If you have always wanted an easy way to share your music with your Facebook friends, you may want to check this out...
It's no secret that we at iDB love us some Tweetbot. In fact, I think Alex gave it its most glowing review to date.
Despite the positive response from us and the public in general, the app does have some opportunities for improvement in a few basic areas.
The first noticeably lacking option is landscape mode. That's right, there's no built in landscape mode to speak of just yet.
Secondly, the ability to tweet out messages longer than the stock 140 characters is nowhere to be found as well.
For those of you who love Tweetbot, but are at odds with these glaring omissions, jailbreak developer Filippo Bigarella has provided two worthwhile solutions...
If you haven't discovered how awesome DropBox is just yet, I highly recommend checking it out. The ability to sync content from your iPhone to your computer without wires or multiple steps makes transferring photos and other media a snap.
Not only is the service free, but you constantly have folks in the jailbreak community developing neat extensions for it. FullDrop is a nice one that allows you to use DropBox to transfer files between your iDevice and your computer outside the scope of the App Store's app. Today, another app for the popular sync service has surfaced in Cydia...
If there's one area of jailbreaking that continues to be a source of confusion, it's backing up all of your jailbreak apps and tweaks.
There are many different methods devised by just as many people, but there continues to be a lingering sense of misunderstanding among the throngs of jailbreakers.
Fortunately there is one surefire way to backup your iPhone, and all of your jailbreak settings each and every time by means of a handy little jailbreak app called PKGBackup...
Tired of waiting for Apple to release the next iPhone to experience faster speeds? Luckily, there's an app for that. Well, at least there is if you are using a jailbroken device.
Speed Intensifier is a 2-part tweak that can speed up your iPhone's performance by shortening or completely removing iOS animations. These transitional animations typically happen when you open a folder or window, and can really slow you down as you bounce between apps...
Why should you jailbreak the iPhone? That's a question that gets asked here at iDB all the time. If you consider yourself a jailbreak expert, you've most likely been asked the same question once or twice.
There's perhaps no one man more qualified to answer that question than Jay Freeman, a.k.a. "saurik." Saurik created Cydia- the hub of the jailbreak world. He is the man responsible for what the jailbreak community has become today.
Are you still a little paranoid about the iPhone location-tracking file? Are you afraid that Apple or your carrier is tracking your every move?
Lucky for you, there's a new jailbreak tweak called Auto Location that automatically toggles your iPhone's Location Services on and off. When you're not using an app that requires GPS, Auto Location will turn the iPhone's Location Services off. When you open an app that requires Location Services, Auto Location turns it back on...
Some of the things that pop into the Cydia store amaze me. Innovation can really flourish in an environment like Cydia where there are little restrictions to hold developers back. Untrackerd is a perfect example of that innovation.
But jailbreaking is not just good for disrupting Apple's hidden tracking service, it's also good for customizing your iOS and downloaded tweaks to make your life easier. The jailbreak tweak I'm about to mention falls in the latter category, by making a great app even better...
Color Keyboard is a recently released jailbreak tweak that potentially allows you to customize your iPhone's keyboard using whatever color scheme you deem worthy.
I use the word potential, because it's entirely up to you as to whether or not you'll squeeze your money's worth out of it.
The name -- Color Keyboard -- while technically true, might seem as if it's a tad misleading, especially in the shadow of robust jailbreak tweaks like AlertArtist...
Can this guy be stopped? Hot off the heels of the super-popular Springtomize, Filippo Bigarella is back with his latest jailbreak concoction.
CleverPin is a jailbreak tweak for the iPhone that allows you to make the iPhone's passcode lock a little less intrusive from a day-to-day usage perspective.
Ask yourself the following question, and answer honestly; if you're at home, do you really need that passcode lock enabled?
Some of you may, but a good lot of you may not. That's where CleverPin lives up to its cleverness; it disables the annoying passcode lock when you're within the vicinity of a pre-authorized network, such as your home...
