Ever wish there was a quick and easy way to prevent your iPhone's photos from being accidentally purged?
Apple kind of skimped on the data protection elements of iOS; there's no native way to prevent someone from going into your camera roll, and deleting all of your photographs if they have access to your iPhone.
Again, the Cydia store comes to the rescue as another jailbreak tweak entitled Photector pops up on the scene to save the day...
The official Twitter app was recently updated with some significant changes. Among other new features, Twitter decided to add the "Quick Bar" to the top of the timeline.
Twitter had good intentions with the Quick Bar; it was designed to help users keep a better tab on trending topics. As topics trend, they push through the Quick Bar. Tapping a topic will activate the search window for that related hashtag.
People didn't like Twitter's new Quick Bar. And an internet backlash on what was cleverly coined the "Dick Bar" has caused Twitter to push another update that attempts at making the Quick Bar less intrusive.
This little trick has been around for quite some time. But if you are a new iPhone user, or plan on becoming a new iPad user soon, listen up! If you are using Google's email service, then there's a good chance you are using Google's calendar and their contact management system. This holds especially true for you, former Android users, who are forced to use the previously mentioned services by design.
Now I know you're thinking, "Cody, I already have my Gmail setup on my iPhone," and you're probably right. But if you set it up as an actual Gmail account and not under the 'Exchange' account profile, you might be missing out on some cool features.

The official Twitter for iPhone app has been updated with several new features. Unlike previous minor updates, Twitter 3.3 packs some significant changes to the app's interface.
While there are some definite improvements in the app, many users have been complaining that the update does more harm than good…
I'll be honest with you; the iPhone's native way of handling push notifications leaves a lot to be desired. So anytime a tweak comes along that promises to improve the outdated stock system, my ears perk up.
MobileNotifier is one such improvement, and it is by far one of the best alternatives to Apple's cumbersome way of handling push notifications...
Annoyed by that flash effect that happens every time you take a screenshot? Apparently you're not alone.
No Screenshot Flash is a tweak that performs the exact duties that its name implies.
Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that you can pretty much customize every facet of your iPhone, but is such a simple tweak even worth your time? Does it improve the user experience in any way?
Who in their right mind would want to get rid of their voicemail button? Apparently, at least a few people, that's who.
That's because a new jailbreak tweak recently showed up on the Cydia store entitled NoVoiceMail, and I'm betting some of you have already downloaded it.
What a perfect tweak for those of you who never check their voicemail, for those of you who never return Auntie May's repeated phone calls…
Who would dare place a highly configured iPhone into the hands of a 5 year old? You're liable to come back and see half of your apps deleted.
But if you had Undeletable Apps -- A jailbreak tweak for the iPhone -- you'd be able to rest easy knowing that your apps were there to stay.
That's because Undeletable Apps prevents you from deleting your apps, even when in jiggle mode. How does it do this? Check inside for the full lowdown.
Here is an app that shouldn't even exist in the first place as Apple should have implemented it in iOS. ChatPic is a new jailbreak app that will show address book photos next to text messages in the SMS app.
For ChatPic to work, you obviously need to add a photo to your contacts, then whenever they text you, you will see their face next to the chat bubble...
"It's time to go vertical." No, believe it or not, that's not a one-liner from the latest Vin Diesel movie.
Page2D is a jailbreak tweak that removes the horizontal scrolling only limitations placed on the iPhone, and outright encourages vertical scrolling.
But is it any good? Take a look inside as we examine the latest iPhone tweak for the vertically challenged...
If you're serious about customizing your iPhone's sound, there's likely no better candidate to meet your needs than MyVolume.
This is a jailbreak tweak for serious customizers only; casuals need not apply.
That's because MyVolume allows you to modify nearly every function of your iPhone's volume controls, almost to a fanatic level...
Here comes another tweak! Although this tweak has been available for jailbroken iPhones for quite some time now, I seemed to stumble upon it earlier this week and found it pretty cool!
With this tweak you'll be able to use unicode symbols to spice up your social life. How does it work? Simply hold down the 1-5 number keys and you will have access to universally viewable symbols that can be added to your text messages, tweets, and more.
The best part is, unlike emoji which are only viewable on some devices, the unicode symbols in Vmoji will display correctly on any mobile device or computer. The tweak is also free of charge, so that's another thumbs up...
