Companies like Nike are showing an extreme will to embrace the mobile landscape and bring forward the benefits of fitness to users around the world by using accessories like the FuelBand that wirelessly transmit captured data back to a dedicated app. General day-to-day activities can be recorded and turned into a fitness challenge. Nike themselves have just brought out a great update to the official FuelBand for iPhone app that introduces some new social sharing features, so it makes perfect sense that jailbroken users should also receive some Nike based love with the NikeNotification+ tweak.

We've recently heard that the sportswear giant - Nike - is investing time and resources into the digital startup scene to build the ultimate fitness platform, but it's great to know that they haven't forgotten about their existing and loyal FuelBand user base and have pushed out an update to the iOS app with a couple of notable additions.
One of the latest tweaks to land on the ModMyi repo is the FBPrivacy package, which, as the name suggests, is one developer's attempt to bring additional privacy measures to those jailbroken users who regularly make use of the Facebook or Facebook Messenger apps. The tweak won’t bring the stealth-like experience to Facebook that a lot of users genuinely want, but it does bring some nice little touches to the official apps that may just serve to improve things a little.
The FakeMyi package is one of the most comprehensive jailbreak tweaks we’ve seen, and allows users to fake, change and add new information to specific aspects of the device. We've seen tweaks in the past that allow call logs to be altered or certain information to be changed at the user's will, but FakeMyi takes things a little further by integrating itself into the Messages, Phone and GPS functionality of the installed device.
There is a new tweak out today on the Cydia store which in my opinion is worth checking out. This small and lightweight tweak comes from developer rvirajm and can be thought of as more of a small phone based utility rather than a large functional installation that will greatly enhance the feature set of the iPhone.
The introduction of Siri along with the iPhone 4S caused a few people to think that voice based commands were going to become the next accepted method of interaction with our mobile devices. Conversely, a number of users simply couldn't see the merit or value in having to ask questions to find out things like the local weather or what the time is in other countries. Regardless of personal opinion, it looks like Siri is definitely with us in the long-run with iOS, which is why it's great to see tweaks like Ask Assistant landing on the Cydia store that make using Siri that little bit easier.
Here’s a complete step-by-step guide on how to enable Chat Heads and Stickers for your account on Facebook 6.0 app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The new features aren't rolled out for every account yet even if you have the latest 6.0 version of the app installed, the following guide will help you force-enable it on your device.
There is no doubt about the fact that battery is one of the most important aspects of any mobile device. A device can be the most beautiful, elegant creation in the world and contain some of the most advanced features that we have seen in the mobile game, but if the battery doesn't last five minutes then the whole design process has been in vein. Apple's iOS devices do a fairly good job of keeping the user informed of the current battery level through a tidy little icon and optional percentage indication, but for those jailbroken users who want to make a little aesthetic tweak then the Live Battery Indicator package could be the solution.
Are you one of those iPhone users who are just simply too cool to walk around with the ringtone enabled on the device? I'm pretty sure we have all gone through a phase of leaving our devices permanently on silent in an attempt to escape the consistent ringing that comes from friends, family members and colleagues. And while it may be the best move for our social lives, it certainly does a lot for our sanity. If operating an iPhone in a permanent state of ringer silence is part and parcel of your daily usage cycle, then perhaps the new Calmi jailbreak tweak is worth checking out.
We've been witness to a number of changes in the past that have been introduced by Apple as part of their plan to enhance iOS and make it a more usable mobile operating system for its millions of users around the world. One of those changes that well and truly split opinion at the time was the introduction of the 'Camera Grabber' on the iOS lock screen that essentially allows users to launch the Camera app without having to unlock the device. Some feel that Apple should natively allow users to change the function of that particular button, but as we know where there is a will, there's a generally a jailbreak based way.
