‘iNetUsage’ Makes it Easy to Discern Which Apps Are Data Hogs

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated August 4, 2011

Are you having problems with phantom data charges on your wireless bill? Interested in which apps are causing you to always go over your data cap? If so, I have the perfect jailbreak tweak for you.

It's called iNetUsage, and it is a tweak available on Cydia that allows you to monitor your data usage on an app-to-app basis.

There's even a provision to break it down over Wi-Fi and cellular usage, along with setting up specific data ranges for your analysis.

Overall, iNetUsage is an extremely robust tweak that will have you pinching every kilobyte of data out of your monthly plan. Unlimited data users need not apply...

DeleteMail Tweak Makes Clearing out Your Inbox Easy

Cody Lee ∙ May 7, 2011

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...

‘Springtomize’ Brings an Insane Level of Springboard Customization to the iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated September 22, 2011

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...

‘MobileNotifier’ Brings Drastically Improved Push Notifications to Your iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated September 22, 2011

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 So anytime a tweak comes along that promises to improve the outdated stock system, my ears perk up.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...

Sébastien Page ∙ November 5, 2010

If you are an iPhone 3GS owner and feel left out because you can't record HD videos on your iPhone, then rejoice because the jailbreak community is taking care of you.

There is a new jailbreak app in Cydia called HD Video Enabler for 3GS. Just like its name suggests, this tweak will allow you to enable HD video recording on your iPhone 3GS...

New Jailbreak App Lets You Set a Home Page in Safari

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated August 13, 2011

Home Page in Safari is a new jailbreak application that lets you set a home page in Mobile Safari, simply by tapping the " + " button while visiting the website of your choice, then tapping "set as home".

This is a very simple and convenient tweak that seems to be more useful on the iPad than it really is on the iPhone, as Mark from 9 to 5 Mac noted...
