One of the missing features in the iPhone is the ability to customize sounds on the device. Compared to the competition, this is a field where the iPhone fails, badly.
Enter ToneFXs. ToneFXs 2.0 is a jailbreak app that lets you customize all the sounds on your iPhone. That includes anything from custom push notification alerts, custom email alerts, custom email alerts for specific contacts, custom text message alerts for specific numbers, custom calendar alerts and much more.
SwipeNav is a jailbreak tweak that enables swipe navigation on apps that support UINavigation. Got all that?
Yeah, I was about as confused as that sounds when reading the description for SwipeNav, but after actually trying the tweak, I was able to understand the concept behind it.
In a nutshell, SwipeNav will allow you to use swipe motions to navigate to a prior page on apps that feature the blue navigation bar at the top...
Most people tend to jailbreak for the packages and features that don't require payment. Among the many, SBSettings, Mobile Substrate, Cydia, OpenSSH, ActionMenu, SwitcherMod, and others stand out for functionality the iPhone should have. But which apps are truly worth buying in Cydia?
We're calling for a vote for the top five paid packages and products available from Cydia. If you were to lose all of your purchases, what would be the first five jailbreak tweaks that you spend money on to perfect your iPhone's configuration?
It seems like we've been down this road before, doesn't it? Springboard Enhancer is a tweak that promises springboard customization, and it generally focuses on adding 5 app icons on your springboard, in your folders, in your dock, and in your app switcher.
If you've been using tweaks like Five Icon Dock, Five Icon Folder, Five Icon Switcher, etc., Springboard Enhancer can outright replace all of those jailbreak tweaks, and it's free just like the aforementioned tweaks as well.
Springboard Enhancer is all tweak, there are no app icons, and no settings section to worry about configuring; just install it and go...
Late last month, developer Peter Hajas introduced MobileNotifier, a complete replacement of Apple's aging iOS notifications system. The jailbreak tweak became incredibly popular, showing how much iPhone owners are longing for a better notifications system.
Following MobileNotifier comes another alternative to the iOS notifications system courtesy of the jailbreak community, called iconNotifier.
Are you power hungry? Well then, I have the perfect jailbreak tweak for you.
PowerUp is a free jailbreak tweak available on Cydia that maps additional options to your iPhone's sleep button.
Normally when you press and hold sleep you get the "slide to power off" dialogue, but with PowerUp installed, your options just got a tad more robust...
The anticipated jailbreak tweak to rule them all, Springtomize, has gone live in Cydia and is now available for purchase. We showed you a detailed preview of this awesome tweak several days ago, and now you can install Springtomize and play with it yourself.
Most jailbreak tweaks focus on one specific aspect of iOS (whether it be the status bar, dock, icons, etc.). Springtomize aims at being the one-stop shop for your tweaking needs. As far as customization is concerned, Springtomize may very well be the king of jailbreak tweaks.
If you are looking for the latest tweak for your jailbroken iPhone, check this out. This new Cydia tweak is called 'Keypad Transparency', and I'll give you 3 guesses what it does. Give up? It gives you complete control over the opacity of your lock screen keypad.
The default opacity is set at 40%, which is what it is in the screen shot above. But the nice little feature about this app is, it allows you to customize it from up to 100% and down. Just how light can it get?
One of my favorite features in iOS is AirPlay. I recently purchased an Apple TV2, and immediately saw the benefits. With AirPlay, you are able to stream content off of your iDevice, directly to your HiDef TV. This content can be photos and videos you've downloaded from iTunes, and even YouTube videos.
With Apple's latest iOS software update, 4.3, your AirPlay options just multiplied, exponentially. You are now able to take advantage of 3rd party apps and websites that are AirPlay compatible. Since the popularity of this feature has really been on the rise, I figured it was time for a quick tutorial to show you how easy it really is to use AirPlay with your iPhone...
Even with the large amount of fantastic apps available for iOS these days, I try to keep my spring board as clean as possible. In fact, I was ecstatic when Apple announced the new folders feature in their last major overhaul of their iPhone software. In Apple-like fashion, the feature was easy to use, but came with some limitations.
You may only have 4 icons per row, with a limit of 12 total icons per folder. For most people that's more than enough to help you organize your cluttered home screen. But if you are a power user with more apps than the average joe, this limitation can be frustrating. But don't get too discouraged. If you are jailbroken, you certainly have options to fix this....
When Apple introduced multitasking into their iOS platform, millions of iDevice users rejoiced. Although it was a bit of a struggle at first, as soon as developers started updating their apps to support multitasking, it became a really useful feature.
But as with most things Apple, what you see is what you get. There is no stock option to customize this multitasking bar. But luckily for us jailbroken folk, there's an answer. MySwitcher from BigBoss is available in Cydia and is more than up to the task of customizing your multitask bar...
Okay Mr. Bigarella, you've outdone yourself this time. That's the only phrase that popped into my head upon installing Springtomize and discerning how gaudy his latest jailbreak tweak is.
There's simply no better description for Springtomize -- a jailbreak tweak that takes about 50 other jailbreak tweaks, and rolls them all into one.
In fact, there are so many options here, that it could prove to be a bit overwhelming for those just looking to add slight customizations to their iPhones.
But that's not who Springtomize is aimed at. It's aimed at those who want absolute 100% control over the look and feel of their iPhone; it does a pretty good job of doing so too...
