The New iPad 3 Has Been Jailbroken By The Awesome Developer i0n1c!
When the new iPad 3 first came out, the first question that came to mind wasn’t what features it had built into it and whether or not it had a retina display. The actual first question was whether people would be able to jailbreak it or not. This is the truth and nobody can deny it. In fact, many avid jailbreakers are not upgrading to the new iPad simply because it just can’t be jailbroken at the moment. Of course, this is all going to change because of new evidence that has been put forward by Stefan Esser, also better known to the jailbreak developer community as i0n1c! This is...

Cydia is home to all sorts of tweaks and themes that will either make your iPhone perform better or even look better. There are enhancements that will improve specific functionalities and where are all sorts of applications that you will never find on the App Store simply because they will never make it through the app store approval process, which in many peoples’ minds is a total mess. Rarely do we see a tweak that will change really small things on your iPhone. But there is always a first time for everything. When it comes to changing the look of certain parts of your iPhone, the...
read moreMove Your App Labels From The Bottom Of Your App Icons To The Top
As more and more enhancements come out for the iPhone and iPad, it is becoming more apparent that people want to have the choice to be able to customize the way their iDevice springboards look. Of course, they have no other choice but to jailbreak their iDevices to make this happen. There is no other way to do it officially otherwise. Many people use themes and use different sounds as well as change animation transitions whenever and wherever they can. But sometimes the simplest of tweaks can make the biggest difference. Again, you will need to jailbreak your device if you want to do...
read moreVertical App Switching Transitions Are Now Available Between Your Running Apps
As you all know, the multitasking bar or the app switcher is one of the best ways to go from one app to the other without having to look for the application icon on your springboard. Of course, the application that you want to switch to has to have been open at least once before so that it will appear in the app switcher. Doing this allows you to switch from one app to the other and if you will notice, there is also a neat horizontal switching animation that goes with it. Now, with a new tweak this same switching transition can be had but in a vertical fashion. Changing little things...
read moreAwesome Tweak Allows You To Add Widgets Onto Your iPhone Homescreen
One of the coolest things that was introduced to us with iOS5 was the Notification Center. But not only was that a cool addition that allowed us to check on our notifications, it also had a couple of widgets, weather and stocks specifically. Those widgets seemed to be an introduction into future widgets that iOS developers would be able to officially create themselves. The problem was Apple never allowed that and has not allowed anyone to touch the Notification Center as far as widget development is concerned. And this is one of the reasons that the jailbreak developers started to...
read moreA Concept Is Turned Reality For The iPad With SwipeSelection On Cydia
Last week we showed you one of the coolest solutions to the editing mode problem on the iPad. The problem is that word or phrase selection is simply not practical on the iPad. The keyboard can’t be used to invoke any kind of editing unlike a computer keyboard (shift + mouse click and drag method). A solution to that was introduced through a YouTube video that showed gestures and the iPad keyboard itself being used to make entering editing modes much easier. We also mentioned that we would not be surprised to see someone in the jailbreak community actually turn that concept into a...
read moreSwipe To Go Back A Screen With This Tweak Instead Of Pressing The Back Button
Since the introduction of the iPhone back in 2007, there are many forums abuzz about how hold the iOS experience is getting. It has even old enough for a very few to start jumping to other types of phones. We think that’s a little absurd since the current iOS system is still light years ahead of the competition given the support of the Apple ecosystem. Still, there remains that valid argument that there are just some things in iOS that seem outdated and should be upgraded somehow. Take, for instance, the whole “back” button thing that you see on applications; don’t you think...
read moreUse This Cydia Tweak On Your iPhone To Show Contact Pictures Almost Everywhere
Love using your iPhone? We have no doubt. Love making calls to all your friends? Maybe not to all of them. Wish you had a way to see their contact pictures on all standard applications and perhaps other apps as well? Well, that’s a little of a tall order if you are going to ask Apple to do that for you in the next iOS iteration. But that, of course, is a reality as long as you already have a jailbroken iPhone. It is only through a jailbreak that you will ever be able to enjoy tweaks like these from the Cydia app store. We highly encourage you to jailbreak your iPhone if you...
read moreChange Your Music And Notification Center Experience By Installing NcMusic
The iPhone is something that changed the way we use our phones. It also brought with it the breakthrough technology of the iPod that changed music many years before it was integrated into the iPhone we know today. That being said, what was inside the iPhone in terms of firmware also changed the way we interact with mobile devices. From apps to swipes and taps, we were then introduced to something new with the introduction of iOS5: the Notification Center. And this has slowly let us look at the iPhone experience in a different light. For the jailbreak community, this has given them an...
read moreImprove Your Notes Application On Your iDevice With The CharaCount Tweak
The one application that we find ourselves using a lot is the Notes application. It’s a nifty and simple application that we pull out once in a while to make note of something that we see or hear. We even hear of people typing up little letters and making lists with this application. The fact is that it is one of the most used apps on the iPhone and we really take it for granted. One other thing we take for granted is that there is something wrong with that application. It may be a small thing but have you ever thought how much better it would be to know how many characters you...
read moreWith This New Tweak, See What Siri Does When You Ask A Question
Between you and us, we think Siri is pretty damn neat. She answers all the questions we have (he, in some other countries). She also makes sure to make sure that all our tasks are properly scheduled and sometimes gives us a good laugh when we need it. But do you really know what is happening when Siri is processing all these requests that we give her? Well, with a new tweak from Cydia, you can see exactly what is happening as it happens when Siri is working. Of course, this is all short of actually seeing video of what really goes on with Siri and her innards (that would have been...
read moreSave Images From Anywhere On The Web Using The Image Grabber Tweak From Cydia
As an Internet device, the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch is king of the hill. This is probably the only personal device that you will use to look up webpages and all kinds of online content from anywhere you are. Gone are the days when you would need to pull out your laptop to get stuff online. But the iDevice also does have its limitations. For example, contrary to popular belief, once cannot really just save images from any webpage using the device. There are some web pages that won’t even allow it and this is really frustrating especially when you want a certain image. It’s...
read moreInstall This Siri Enhancements So That You Can Learn More About Steve Jobs
When the iPhone was first introduced in 1997, it propelled Apple and Steve Jobs to higher heights. Yes, Steve Jobs was already kind of a god in the computer world. But when the iDevices started pouring out from Apple’s labs and into the hands of would-be consumers, all heads started to turn to him. People wanted to know more about him, who he was, where he came from, what he did everyday, why he did it and just about everything under the sun about him. So it was a deep sadness that overcame much of the tech world when Steve Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011. Many new fans still...
read moreUsing Veency To Control Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch From Your Computer
There has been a lot of things that you can do with your iPhone, iPad, and your iPod Touch especially when it is jailbroken. The jailbreak just makes things so much more exciting because of the many tweaks and apps that are out there for the iDevice. That being said, there have been hundreds of tweaks that all make the iDevice so much better to use; over time, a lot of them have been forgotten because of the avalanche of cool things that we download every single day from Cydia. Take Veency, for instance. This tweak has been around for ages! And yet there are very few people who...
