‘CamRotate’ adds iPad styled rotation to the stock Camera app

CamRotate is a new jailbreak tweak that allows users to have more control over the Camera's in-app rotation options. CamRotate allows users to lock rotation in one of four orientations, sync rotation with the rest of iOS, and emulate an iPad-style rotation method.

New ‘Jobs’ clips hit the web ahead of Friday release

It's been a long road for 'Jobs,' the film about Apple's leader and co-founder starring Ashton Kutcher. We first found out about the movie project back in early 2012, and there's been non-stop reports, photos, trailers and interviews ever since.

How to quickly move app icons with ‘EasyIconEdit’

When it comes to moving icons around on your iPhone in a quick and efficient manner, you have a few options. The first and most obvious option is to use iTunes' built in app icon management tools. This allows you to efficiently rearrange the location of your app icons, and you don't have to be jailbroken to do so.

The second, and arguably easier and more desirable method, is to use Lance Fetters' MultiIconMover. This is a tweak that allows you to quickly select batches of icons to quickly move them from one place to another. We've already covered MultiIconMover before; check it out for more information.

Recently, a new challenger has entered into the ring — a new jailbreak tweak entitled EasyIconEdit. Like MultiIconMover, it requires users to be jailbroken, and like MultiIconMover, it uses the same tap to select method for selecting groups of icons simultaneously.

The question is this: How does EasyIconEdit compare with the competition? Have a look past the break and we'll show you.

Looking to add some additional security to your iPhone? Worried about someone spying out your Lock screen passcode? If you answered affirmatively to those questions, then perhaps you'd benefit from CodeScrambler.

iDoorCam shows you who’s at your door, even when you’re not home

The introduction of smartphones and tablets has really helped bring 'connected home' technology mainstream. Actions that used to require a large, expensive in-home setup, can now be done with an iPhone, an app, and a relatively cheap accessory.

And the new iDoorCam is the perfect example of this. The camera-equipped, smart doorbell connects to your home Wi-Fi network to stream video of your visitors to all of your connected iOS gadgets, regardless of whether you're at home or not...

How to get iOS 7 styled parallax wallpaper on your iPhone

We've got an extremely cool new Lock screen theme to show you guys and it's called iOS 7 Accelerometer Slideshow Lockscreens. This is a new WinterBoard theme that recently appeared on Cydia, and it completely transforms the iOS Lock screen.
