We've created an easy-to-follow video tutorial that shows you how to add the hidden panorama mode to iOS 5's Camera app.
You will need a jailbroken iOS 5 device in order to do it, and you will also need iFile if you want to follow this specific tutorial.
If you meet those prerequisites, step inside to see how to enable panorama mode on iOS 5...
In theory, a jailbreak tweak like TweetBoard sounds great. Viewing all of your Twitter information from the comforts of your Lock screen is one of the reasons that IntelliScreen X is so highly anticipated.
But the problem with TweetBoard is that it's half-baked. As it turns out, you can't actually view your timeline from your Lock screen at all, only your particular tweets.
Inside we take a look at this promising, but ultimately disappointing jailbreak tweak for iOS 5...
AndroidLock XT has been out for a very long time, but for some strange reason I never got around to trying it. Recently, an Ice Cream Sandwich aka Android 4.0 theme was released for AndroidLock XT, so I was compelled to give it a go.
Check inside for a hands-on demonstration of AndroidLock XT, along with the new theme that makes your iPhone's Lock screen look and feel like Ice Cream Sandwich...
Once iOS 5 was officially released to the public, it was like a flood of Notification Center jailbreak tweaks hit Cydia all at once. It was so much at one time that it was hard to wade through it all.
Now that the flood has finally turned into a manageable stream, we figured it was the appropriate time to highlight some of our favorite Notification Center jailbreak widgets yet...
WebOffline is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to save entire web pages for offline viewing in Safari. It's tightly integrated with Apple's stock iPhone browser, and makes offline reading fairly effortless.
While there are other 3rd-party offline browsing solutions available, if you're looking for the most native implementation you can come by, WebOffline may be worth a look...
It's no secret that I'm pretty pumped about Amazon's Kindle Fire. While I know that may seem disgraceful to say on iDownloadBlog, I have to admit that the Fire looks sort of compelling.
The Kindle Fire is obviously no match for the iPad, but it isn't trying to compete with the iPad — that's why I think it'll succeed. Now that the formalities are out of the way, let's talk about Kindle Fire for iPhone — a DreamBoard theme that make your iPhone look similar to Amazon's upcoming foray into the world of tablets...
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could forward all of your iPhone's push notifications to your Mac or PC? Well now you can, if your iDevice is jailbroken.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could invoke Siri without pressing and holding your Home button?
I've always thought that Apple should include such an option for when we're on the road and want to control our devices with Siri.
That's the concept behind a new jailbreak tweak entitled Hands-Free Control. Once the iPhone 4S jailbreak is made public, it will allow you to invoke Siri by voice alone.
In the meantime, though, you can invoke Voice Control on pre-iPhone 4S devices...
Similar in vein to the just discussed NCQuickDismiss — ClearLockNotifications makes it easy to clear out iOS 5 notifications that happen to pile up on your Lock screen.
It's weird that Apple doesn't think to add simple items like this to the default version of iOS, but again, I guess that's what the jailbreak community is for...
In general iOS 5's new notification banners are a good thing, but sometimes they wear out their welcome. Unfortunately, there's no built-in method to quickly dismiss a notification banner, you just kind of have to wait until it decides to disappear.
That sounded like a job for the jailbreak community to tackle, and indeed they did. The result? NCQuickDismiss...
After a brief hiatus, I'm back with Ask Jeff: Episode 09. In this episode I answer tons of questions ranging from data usage monitoring, to Twitter clients, to possible Siri ports.
A lot has changed since Episode 08. iOS 5 was released, iCloud launched, the iPhone 4S launched, and much, much, more.
Was your question answered? There's only one way to find out: head inside and tune in to the latest episode...
Mobile Terminal is an extremely handy tool to have if you're used to using a command line interface.
Unfortunately, the version that's still in Cydia has gone without an update for quite some time now, rendering it unusable on recent iOS firmware.
With this handy video tutorial, I'll show you how to get back in the game with Mobile Terminal on iOS 5...
