JailbreakMe Used to Jailbreak iPhone 4 20,000 Feet Above Ground

Alex Heath ∙ July 14, 2011

If you haven't heard of JailbreakMe by now, you may be living under a rock. One thing you're definitely not doing is flying in a plane, because a video has surfaced that shows an iPhone 4 being jailbroken with JailbreakMe.com from 20,000 up in the air.

The cool thing about JailbreakMe is that it allows you to jailbreak an iDevice in Safari on the device itself. All you need is an internet connection and a few seconds to let Cydia install. And thanks to the availability of internet access on most commercial airlines, we bring you JailbreakMe on a plane...

iDJ Live: Give Your iDevice Some Real 1s and 2s

Cody Lee ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

The sharp and responsive screen found on Apple's iDevices make them a hotbed for DJ applications. Since the App Store's inception, we've seen several DJ'ing applications that try and capture the addicting music-mixing art.

One of our all time favorites is djay by algoriddim. Its easy to use interface and unique AUTOMIX feature make for a solid DJ app. Obviously, touchscreens have limitations that make it difficult to do any serious record spinning, but iDJ Live might have a solution for us..

The bookmarks bar is a handy little feature found in the iPad version of mobile Safari, but it's even more useful with this jailbreak tweak.

Record Video Instantly From Your iPhone’s Home Screen with Capture

Oliver Haslam ∙ Updated February 18, 2018

With Apple's iPhone 4 possessing one of the best cameras for recording HD video around, it's understandable that we all want to get as much use out of it as possible.

The only problem with the iOS Camera app is it's just so slow to access. Add in the time taken to tap the icon for changing from still to camera mode, and chances are you've just missed whatever it was you wanted to film in the first place.

Capture is an App Store app that offers a much quicker way to record video on the iPhone, without the need to sit and wait for Apple's own app to go through the motions...

Really, when it comes to organizing your iPhone, there’s no limit to how far you can take it. That’s where a tweak like PageNames comes in.

‘RemovedSound’ Brings the Familiar OS X Paper Crumbling Sound to the iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated August 4, 2011

I’ve always wondered why Apple never added the “paper crumbling” trash sound whenever you deleted an app in iOS.

Perhaps they figured that we’d be deleting things more than we do on our desktops, and that it would become annoying after a while.

Regardless of the reasoning, if you've been wanting something like this, then want no longer; RemovedSound -- one of the latest jailbreak TweakWeek tweaks -- has hit the Cydia store…

‘SBVolume’ is Great For Those With Broken Volume Buttons

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated August 4, 2011

I admit it; I couldn't come up with any valid reasons for SBVolume’s existence during the shooting of my video walkthough, but as always, you commentors picked up on the transgression.

SBVolume is a TweakWeek tweak that places soft volume buttons on your iPhone’s Home screen. It’s definitely not the prettiest implementation in the world, but it would be a welcome addition to anyone’s Home screen that has broken physical volume buttons.

I overlooked that need during the shooting of the video, hence the over-the-top negativity. But still, I stand by my notion that it could look a whole lot better than it does now. Details inside…

Easily Access Your iPhone’s Vital Statistics With ‘TapClockInfo’

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated August 4, 2011

One of the nicest things about SBSettings is the ability to quickly view your iPhone’s important vital statistics such as available RAM and IP Addresses.

What if you could access that same information quickly from your iPhone’s lock screen? Wouldn’t that be neat?

With TapClockInfo -- a jailbreak tweak for the iPhone -- now you can. Check inside for a video demonstration of it in action…

Apple Store iPad Display Gets Jailbroken [Video]

Cody Lee ∙ July 9, 2011

Comex's new exploit is easily the best jailbreaking tool ever developed. Not only is it much faster than previous methods, it's as easy to use as downloading an app.

Another reason JailbreakMe comes out on top is that you don't need a computer to run the software. Everything is done from the device. This creates an interesting dynamic for jailbreaking, because now you can do it almost anywhere. Even in an Apple Store...

How an iPhone Can Bring a Tattoo to Life

Sébastien Page ∙ July 9, 2011

Paris based tattoo artist K.A.R.L is probably going to make history with what appears to be the first animated tattoo brought to life with an iPhone. There is no real mystery behind it though.

K.A.R.L tattooed a QR code on his guinea-pig. The QR code was made to display an animation when activated with an QR code reader you can find in the App Store. Not groundbreaking by any means, but still pretty cool...
