Speeding Up iPhone Animations With A Cydia Tweak
The one thing that the iPhone presented to the everyday user when it first came out in 2007 was the improvement in navigation and how many parts of a phone were easily accessible. The one thing that polished the overall look was the animation of how things were actually opened. It no longer seemed clunky and every transition was smooth and beautiful to look out. Fast forward to the present day and it is pretty much the same thing. But with the iPhone 5, the most surprising thing is that for all the power that is stuffed into the device, there is just no explanation why the transitions...

read moreiPad 4 Jailbreak Achieved With One Minor Obstacle; iPhone 5 Soon
Although we don’t usually report on jailbreak news or anything about the bigger brother of the iPhone, it is really worth mentioning that in just the 24 hours that the iPad 4 has been around, it has been jailbroken. Also known as a failbreak because it is not something that can be immediately used by the general public, the point is that the feat has been achieved and this is important as a stepping stone toward an eventual iPhone 5 jailbreak. So what does this mean at the moment? Well, for the average user, this means that we all have something to look forward to, especially for those...
read moreUltrasn0w Now Fixed To Work On iOS 6.0.1 For Your iPhone
In a perfect world, all iPhones whole be factory unlocked, which means that you would never have to worry about unlocking them so that they could be used on any network of your choice. But sadly this has never been the case for the iPhone. In fact, it is probably one of the major reasons why the jailbreak community exists in the first place. That being said, this is the reason tools like Ultrasn0w exist and every time there is an update in firmware, there is also an update in Ultrasn0w. It can get really tricky, however, because this is a tool that relies on a jailbreak and it also...
read moreHide Stock Applications On Your iPhone Without Using A Jailbreak
For all of you who may remember, there was a time when people could actually jailbreak their iPhones over the air. This means that they only had to visit a website on their Mobile Safari to actually jailbreak their iPhones over WIFI. This was known as a userland jailbreak. Of course, gone are the days of those awesome tools and Apple has made sure to patch things up on their browsers to make sure that this doesn’t happen again. But there are other things that people can do with their Mobile Safari browsers. And one of them is to actually get rid of stock applications on their...
read morePinch To Unlock Is Yet Another Way To Open Your iPhone
As we have said time and again, the Slide To Unlock feature on the iPhone (as amazing as it was the first time it was introduced five years ago) is something that needs to evolve because it is getting really old. Yes, it may be something that works and gives that one extra security step. But there are so many ways that will make this even more secure. A simple slide can’t be the only way that an iPhone can be opened right? On Cydia, there have been so many implementations introduced and some of them are really compelling. We still love the Fold to Unlock sequence that was...
read moreTrack Your iPhone SMS Stats With This New Cydia App

In fact, the offerings that are coming out these days seem to be a lot more interesting than they ever have been in recent months. This could be because of the newfound vigor that developers have for making the iOS6 even better now that Apple has stepped up its game just a little bit. And today we look at how you can check out all of your SMS stats using this new Cydia application. Since this is a Cydia application, this basically...
read moreThis Tweak Splits Your iPhone Notification Center In Two
It’s been pretty slow on the jailbreak scene with developers obviously concentrating their efforts on updating already existing tweaks to work with the new iOS6 ecosystem. Of course, this is always a good thing because once an iPhone 5 jailbreak does enter the scene, at least a majority of the tweaks will be ready to rock on that device and make the experience just that much sweeter. Still, this does not mean that there are no new things coming out on Cydia. Take this tweak, for instance, that gives the effect of an elevator opening and closing to reveal theNotificationCenteron your...

We have all seen our fair share of awesome tweaks for the iPhone through the Cydia store. There is just so much potential for Apple to step up and really start applying some of the best things that third-party developers think would bode well on their flagship device. And with the iPhone 5 out in the market, the bigger screen is just screaming for more change, for more tweak awesomeness from the community. And that is what is leading more designers thinking up awesome concepts that bring us back to the basics; the basics here being the app switcher. It has been argued just how useful...

The email, of course, is more useful for iPod Touch and iPad users. That being said there is one issue with iMessage and receiving messages.

With the iPhone literally exploding in sales and with more and more people getting onto the jailbreak train (at least for the ones that have iPhones that actually support a jailbreak), it is no surprise to see more and more tweaks being developed and distributed over Cydia. One of these tweaks aims to make your messaging habits a much easier thing to manage by aggregating Facebook Chat and Google Talk accounts in one. Normally, these two would be separate applications on the App Store. To be able to take advantage of this standalone application that is available on Cydia, you will have...
