DoubleDock is a jailbreak tweak that does pretty much exactly what its name states — adds a second layer to your existing dock to create a "double" dock.
The problem with this tweak is that it isn't very useful, it's not very practical, it's unattractive, and on top of all of that you have to pay for it...
Unlike iPhone jailbreaks, the Apple TV jailbreak isn't as straightforward. For instance, after jailbreaking there's no Cydia app icon to start installing your favorite apps and tweaks from various repos.
This is where a tool like aTV Flash (black) comes in. This handy package from FireCore allows you to install some of the most popular jailbreak apps directly on your jailbroken Apple TV without breaking a sweat.

The Apple TV 2 jailbreak for the 5.0 firmware (iOS 5.1) is finally among us, and that means that we get to experience jailbreaking with Apple's brand new Apple TV interface.
Although this is a tethered jailbreak, it really doesn't get any easier than Seas0npass. Step inside to see why this is one of the best jailbreak tools across any iOS device...
Pinkbot is a WinterBoard theme (we know, bleh) that allows you to alter Tweetbot with various pink UI elements.
If the Pink Panther ever decided to use an iPhone, this would be his Twitter client of choice...
We've seen something like this before, but you can never have too much of a good thing, right?
UsefulIcons is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that promises to add convenient shortcuts to your Home screen.
The various shortcuts cover everything from Voice Control/Siri, to respring and flashlight functionality. It's safe to say that this tweak will yield a varied amount of shortcuts, and you'll find at least some of them to be, well, useful...
Sometimes original ideas are hard to come by, whether you're a jailbreak developer, or an App Store developer.
For that reason I see tons of duplicate apps and tweaks that essentially replicate what has already been available.
With that in mind, even if I don't totally understand the purpose of a specific tweak, I still appreciate one that tries to do something different and original.
This is exactly how I feel about ClipboardEdit. It's a tweak that's certainly original, but I'm not exactly sure how I would use it, or why it would be even be needed...
One of the biggest features of iOS 5.1 is the new Lock screen camera functionality. In fact, we dedicated a post and video exclusively to the new Lock screen camera.
The problem is this; if you're one of the many that wishes to maintain an untethered jailbreak, you can't enjoy the fruits of Apple's labor. This is because the 5.1 update kills your untethered jailbreak.
That's where Camera Grabber for iOS 5 comes into play. This is a jailbreak tweak that allows pre-5.1 devices to enjoy the same Lock screen camera functionality as iOS 5.1 users.
How does it work? Check inside for the answer...
Remember Microsoft's Courier tablet project? And a particularly lovely concept video that had been making rounds in the months leading up to the 2010 iPad introduction? We were impressed with Microsoft's bold take on tablet functionality, calling for a dual-screen device with an innovative interface letting one easily jot down notes, set reminders, glance over your day's agenda, edit documents and so forth.
While the iPad popularized an entirely different user interface paradigm for the sake of simplicity and ease of use, some people have remained quite fond of Microsoft's concept, yours truly included. Well, how about an iPad app that essentially turns your tablet into a Courier-like thing? First announced a year ago, it only got approved yesterday and is now available for download, priced at three bucks...
We all know that iOS is one of the most secure mobile platforms on the market, but it's far from perfect. How else do you think hackers are able to find exploits in the software that allows us to jailbreak our devices?
With that in mind, it's no surprise that the folks over at Micro Systemation, a Swedish security firm, are able to bypass an iPhone's passcode lock in under 10 minutes. Don't believe it? Watch this video...
SBCoders — the same developer behind the highly anticipated Deck jailbreak tweak – is back at it again. Aero is the latest creation from SBCoders, and their aim is to bring significant style and grace to the mundane task of switching apps.
Do they succeed in accomplishing their goal? Check out our in-depth video preview of Aero for the answer...
Looking for a free way to invoke your App Switcher in landscape mode? If so, then check out this brand new jailbreak tweak entitled SwitcherLand.
Not only does it allow you to open the App Switcher in landscape mode, but it also allows you to lock your device orientation in landscape as well.

First there was CydiaBulletin, and then there was the dead on arrival Aptdate. These jailbreak tweaks were conceptualized and/or created to provide notifications whenever an app or tweak had a pending updated waiting in Cydia.
Due to traffic concerns, it's unlikely that either of these tweaks will ever see the light of day. That's unfortunate, but it's the reality of the situation unless the developers can come up with a way that won't put too much stress on the repo servers.
But what about the App Store? This sort of functionality would be useful for pending App Store updates as well, would it not? Thankfully, someone was listening.
Check out our video walkthrough of AppUpdateNotifier, a jailbreak tweak that provides banner notifications when updates are waiting in the App Store...
