Want to know the name of your iDevice? How about its storage capacity, OS, build, or free memory available?
For stat junkies, there's no better jailbreak tweak than OmniStat. OmniStat is a widget that resides in iOS 5's Notification Center, and it puts a ridiculous amount of iDevice stats right at your fingertips...
We've seen some useful custom widgets come out of the jailbreak community in the last few weeks- UISettings and StatusGoogle to name a few. But we've also seen some not-so-useful offerings, like ScreenLocker. Who needs another way to toggle the display's lock orientation?
Although some widgets might not be as useful to some as others, it's still cool that they're available. iOS 5 has only been out a month, so it's just nice that developers are churning out tons of stuff for us to play with. That being said, here's SlideCenter...
We figure that most folks that haven't opted to try jailbreaking iOS 5 by now aren't going to. Perhaps you are waiting on an untethered jailbreak, or for more iOS 5 support from your favorite Cydia apps. But for those of you who have been waiting for more trivial reasons, check this out.
If the previously available custom widgets haven't caught your eye yet, let me show you StatusGoogle. The utility installs itself into your Notifications Center drop down menu, and allows you to initiate a Google search inside any app with a swipe of your finger...
We've seen a slew of iOS 5 widgets over the last couple of days. For those who don't know, Apple released a beta version of their new iOS software a few weeks ago, and the jailbreak community has marked their territory in the Notification Center drop down menu.
So far there's been no word from Apple yet on whether or not 3rd party developers are going get to use the space to create custom widgets, but that hasn't stopped jailbreak developers. One of the latest widgets to surface is OmniStat...
It seems as though it's been a while since we've seen a new widget for iOS 5's Notification Center. When the beta first launched, it was like we were seeing one a day if not more. Now it seems more like one per week.
Assuming Apple doesn't allow 3rd party widget development right away, it would be a safe bet to assume we will see a lot more of these pop up in Cydia once iOS 5 is released (mostly due to Apple's current NDA on iOS 5). But to help tide us over until then, here is ScreenLocker...
It's about time we started seeing some more Notification Center widgets roll in. After a few weeks of silence on the iOS 5 jailbreak front, iPhoneItalia has tipped us off that BigBoss has set up a new iOS 5 repository with multiple new entries.
We've already told you about ScreenLocker, the Orientation Lock button for your Notification Center. Now we'll go over NotificationShower. This widget is very similar to SBSettings' Fast Notes toggle, as it allows you to quickly jot down reminders...
It seems like the Daily Tech report that we covered a few days ago has sparked quite a flurry of Apple TV speculation. Though no one can agree on exactly when we'll see a TV set from the Cupertino company, most folks concur it's in the works.
One must wonder though, what could Apple be cooking up for their first entry into the TV market? Patently Apple just discovered this filing from Cupertino company, that may just give us some insight on that very question...
Yet another jailbreak widget for iOS 5 has surfaced. This time, Google Translate functionality can now be added to the Notification Center. Developed by the same person that made QuickComposer, weeTranslate lets you translate a word or phrase through Google Translate - all from the Notification Center.
For those of us that interact with multiple languages on a daily basis, this widget could prove invaluable.
We already know that iOS 5 will bring deep Twitter integration to iDevices. So far, we've confirmed that iOS 5 will let you tweet pictures from the Photos app, your location from the Maps app, and a link from Safari or the YouTube application.
One thing we know it's not doing at the moment is letting you send a tweet from anywhere, without attaching an image, your location, or a link. Well folks, it seems that Apple is working on a way to integrate Twitter even more with iOS, by letting you tweet from anywhere...
An interesting tidbit has been discovered in Apple's recently awarded iPhone patent. It looks as though Apple will indeed allow for the development of third party widgets in iOS 5.
For the past few weeks, jailbreak developers have been creating widgets for the iOS 5 Notification Center because Apple has yet to introduce an approved method for developing and distributing third party widgets.
According to the above patent, Apple will eventually allow for the creation of third party widgets on their platform.
Apple's new firmware won't be officially available for another few months, but that hasn't stopped the jailbreak community from experimenting with the beta release. We've seen several iOS 5 Notification Center widgets over the last few weeks, but there's always room for more.
The latest jailbreak tweak to surface for the new iOS is called QuickComposer. The widget allows you to access the composition screen of different applications with a single tap...
Over the past few weeks, jailbreak developers have been churning out custom widgets for the new iOS 5 Notification Center like crazy. Even though the new software is still in beta, the jailbreak community has already hacked it and created a variety of new tweaks.
The most recent one to surface comes from developer Manuel Gebele. Surprisingly enough, it's called WeeFacebook and it gives you a window into your social networking account from the Notification Center...
