Redire is a recently released jailbreak tweak that allows you to venture back to the days before Apple changed the Lock screen camera functionality for iOS 5.1.
It's extremely simple in both its purpose and execution, and includes no options to configure. After installing Redire your Lock screen camera will function almost exactly like it does on iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1.

AppMosaic — the App Store app discovery tool that we recently previewed — has gone live on Cydia.
The jailbreak app prides itself on providing a unique look at the top 200 paid and free apps on the App Store.
We like it, and we suggest you give it a shot. Head over to Cydia's ModMyi repo where you can download it for free. Be sure to let us know what you think about it.
Update: We've been alerted that AppMosaic has a bug preventing it from showing up properly once installed. The bug is currently being addressed.
Do you harbor an abnormal amount of hatred for the notification badges that litter your iPhone's Home screen? If so, then perhaps these new jailbreak apps will satisfy your craving for badge destruction.
No AppStore Badges, No Cydia Badges, and OTA Begone are three new jailbreak apps that will help eliminate notification badges. But as you'll come to understand, it doesn't make sense to install any of these if your aim is to simply eliminate all badges.
There's something much better already available in Cydia from a well respected developer. Check inside for the full details...
Earlier this month, Marketplace's Shanghai Bureau Chief Rob Schmitz found his way into Foxconn's Longhua facility, where many of Apple's iPads are made. He's only the second reporter ever to be allowed on to the company's factory floor.
Schmitz uploaded a video of his visit to the plant today, which included a tour of an iPad assembly line and an inside look into the lives of Foxconn's employees. Want to see how an iPad is made? Make sure to watch the clip after the break...
Stride is a brand new jailbreak tweak from excellent jailbreak developer and designer Adam Bell. It allows you to unlock your iPhone using an 8-bit styled drawing for security, in lieu of iOS’ boring passcode option.
When you try out the tweak for yourself, it's immediately obvious that there's some highly calculated design behind this effort. Indeed, Stride allows you to unlock your iPhone with impeccable style...
SiriHeights is a brand new jailbreak tweak that allows you to easily adjust the size of the Siri window after initially invoking your personal assistant.
If you use a custom Siri theme, this tweak can help expose your theme instead of leaving it hidden behind the overlay.

Last month, Apple released iOS 5.1 to the masses. The update included few new features, but it did bring Japanese Siri support. This brought the digital assistant's number of compatible languages up to a whopping... four.
But if Siri doesn't currently support your language, that doesn't mean you're out of luck. Developer Kunal Kaul took matters into his own hands and taught Siri to speak Hindi — with a little help from his proxy server...
If the YouTube comments from our ShowFlash video is any indication, by and large ShowFlash is a worthless tweak.
Fortunately I don't look at comments to judge what I absolutely should or shouldn't try.
Granted, as far as usability goes, ShowFlash is fairly devoid of any worthwhile usefulness, but that doesn't mean you should absolutely avoid it, does it?
Wouldn't it be great if you could have Facebook integration that acted similar to iOS' built in Twitter integration? Well, now you can.
Introducing Fusion — a jailbreak tweak that integrates Facebook, Foursquare, and even MySpace (obligatory lol) into your default Twitter composition pane. But the tweak doesn't stop there, it also allows you to composes messages for all of the aforementioned networks using Siri.

So yeah, I was lazy. Unlike Cody, I don't have the patience to wait on hold, or be placed in a revolving door of automated prompts. It was either head directly to the store, or give AT&T's technical support chat a try.
Thankfully, AT&T's technical support chat has a pretty good track record with me; I figured I'd give that a try before deciding to burn a gallon of gas to head to the closest AT&T store. Would they even be open on a holiday anyway?
At the end of the day, I'm glad I decided on this method. In less than 10 minutes the unlocking process for my iPhone was initiated, saving me time, gas money, and a potential headache.
Whereas it took Cody about 20 minutes to initiate his iPhone 4 unlock, it took me less than 10 minutes. Folks, it really doesn't get any simpler than this...
Wouldn't it be nice to have notifications whenever new Cydia updates are released? It's already been done once with Aptdate, but that's now been one-upped courtesy of Ryan Petrich's latest creation entitled Curiosa.
Like Aptdate, Curiosa provides you with banner notifications for new Cydia updates, but this tweak includes quite a few additional options as you'll notice from our video walkthrough...
