WeeSearch: Search Google, YouTube, And Wikipedia From Notification Center

WeeSearch is a recently released Notification Center jailbreak widget for iOS 5, which allows for YouTube, Google, and Wikipedia searches right from the convenience of Notification Center.

It's free, and it works to a certain extent, but it's obvious that the widget was rushed in its development. It's missing a few fundamental features, and not everything works as expected.

‘AppLocker’ Password Protects Your Individual iOS Apps

Here's a pretty useful little iOS tweak, especially if you've got kids who like to go tapping icons on your iPhone, with little regard for your saved game progress or super-important work document you've been editing.

Just as AppLocker's name might suggest, this $0.99 tweak adds a new pane to Settings.app, in which a password lock can be added to all your iOS applications, meaning they won't launch unless you know the special word.

That's all fine and dandy, but AppLocker goes one step further than that...

‘RSSWidget’ Brings Your Favorite RSS Feed to Notification Center

Notice I said favorite RSS feed, and not feeds. Yes, RSSWidget works great, but it's ridiculously restrictive when it comes to the number of feeds you can have.

In fact, you can only have one feed. Besides that obvious limitation, RSSWidget is a decent little Notification Center jailbreak widget. Check inside as we take it for a spin on video...

Faster RedSn0w Jailbreak Demonstrated on Video

As you may have heard, RedSn0w was recently updated to 0.9.9b7, and is now 60% faster by default.

While it's technically true that the actual jailbreak process is a lot faster; as the Dev Team has noted, you'll still end up making up the time on the back end with Cydia.

NowListening is a jailbreak tweak for iOS 5 that makes it so you can receive banner notifications whenever your iPod app begins playing a new song.

Unfortunately, there is no default option to enable this function on a stock iOS 5 installation, so you must have a jailbroken iPhone to enable music banner notifications.

WeeSpeeddial: Speeddial From Notification Center With Custom Contacts

A couple of days ago, we highlighted FavoriteContacts — a new jailbreak widget that allows you to dial, text, and email your favorite contacts, right from Notification Center.

Today, we bring you a similar tweak, with a few noticeable differences. Like FavoriteContacts, WeeSpeeddial allows you to dial contacts from Notification Center, but it relies on a custom set of contacts configured in a dedicated settings panel.
