Saurik Updates Cydia Substrate To Version 0.9.5016

Ben Reid·October 30, 2014

As far as jailbreakers are concerned, Cydia is the focal point of the entire experience. The go-to hub for tweaks, themes and other niceties, it's considered the central portal, the nucleus of the entire operation. But as many have begun to discover with this latest Pangu8 untether, Cydia doesn't operate alone, and in actual fact, there are a number of key apps and services driving devices that have been jailbroken. Cydia Substrate, also developed and maintained by Cydia author Saurik, is an essential piece of the jigsaw, and after a couple of major updates already since Pangu arrived ten days ago, version 0.9.5016 brings fixes for jailbreakers running older versions of iOS.

How To See List Of Songs You’ve Had Asked Siri To Identify On iOS 8 / 8.1

Ben Reid·October 30, 2014

Shazam has essentially eliminated that ever-so-annoying "what song is this, again?" conversation that we used to have amongst ourselves whenever we heard a song we liked on the radio. As a third-party app / service, it's been running for years now, but with iOS 8, Apple took the favorable step of baking it into Siri. So instead of using the app - which becomes typically hard to find when you know a song is about to end - one can simply ask for title, artist and album through the digital slave that is Siri. Yes, this is even more convenient than Shazam as we already knew it pre-iOS 8, but then again, at least Shazam keeps a neat list that we can always refer to. iOS 8 does too, although it's a little trickier to find, and so, we've compiled a very little guide to help you find a list of the songs that you've asked Siri to tag.

ForceReach Lets You Customize And Extend Capabilities Of iPhone 6 / 6 Plus Reachability Feature

Aatif·October 29, 2014

With every new release of iOS comes a slew of features that expand on the OS's capabilities and functionality, and let users interact with and use their devices in a different manner. The beauty of jailbreak tweaks, however, is that they expand on those features even further, making it possible to do things that the company didn't allow by default. One such feature with iOS 8 was the Reachability aspect, which basically works only on the larger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, bringing things in easier range by compacting them towards the bottom of the screen. While pretty great, there were certain limitations with the native implementation of Reachability, and those are what ForceReach - a freshly released Cydia tweak for iOS 8 / 8.1 - aims to address.

Apple is currently locked in a silent war with some retailers after the decided to not just ignore Apple's advances to bring Apple Pay to their customers but also actively made it impossible to use the service even after it was found to work in an unsupported capacity. In a world where you would expect all retailers to want to take money from potential customers, that just seems weird.
