One of the main new features in iOS 5 is the introduction of a few widgets as part of Notification Center. Yet, in this feature's short life, there hasn't been a really useful widget, until now. BBSettings displays a whole range of iOS settings right from within a widget.
In our installment of today's new Cydia releases, we present to you another handy tweak. There have been many attempts to bring a decent gesture-based system to iOS, and it seems as though they've finally cracked it - well, at least for the lockscreen.
Many of you would have rejoiced when Comex released JailbreakMe 3.0. Not only did it bring what will always be considered the easiest jailbreak possible, but it finally brought an untethered jailbreak to the iPad 2, which had proved a very tough nut to crack.
Many of the tweaks that ascend from the open-source cauldron that is Cydia are those of which you didn't realize you needed until you've encountered them. That's the wonder of having a jailbroken device - the more developers create these useful apps, the easier it becomes to tailor the experience of using an iDevice to your every day need.
The Google+ iOS app has been updated today to support the previously “missing” iOS devices, the iPod touch and the iPad, just weeks after the original iPhone-only app was unveiled. All iOS users are urged to download this update as soon as possible from their device’s App Store or iTunes.
Once you stumble upon a gem from Apple's App Store, it is extremely easy to share the app with your buddies. Send over a URL and the job is done, and they too can enjoy your wondrous discovery. Be it an addictive game or a great reference app, there are fast approaching half a million to choose from, so recommendations are a good way of cutting corners.
With any modern version of iOS, in order to downgrade a device to a previous version of the system, users must have a backed up SHSH blob of the version they’re trying to upgrade/downgrade to, otherwise the process will just fail. This is done to protect devices from vulnerabilities present in earlier versions of iOS but it also stops jailbreakers from applying tweaks that might not be available on the current iOS.
The App Store has long-since been a commercial juggernaut, underpinning the ever-increasing success of Apple's iDevice range. It contains many great apps which undoubtedly make life a whole lot easier, but you have to filter out a lot of the junk in order to find those worthwhile additions to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Another day, another jailbreak tweak. Today's offering is a simple tweak that brings a functionality to the iOS Photos app that some would argue should have been there from day one - the ability to upload photos straight to ImageShack.
Those with jailbroken iDevices far and wide rely on the innovative geniuses that make up the hacking community to grace them with the tweaks and apps to make the whole experience of owning one of Apple's portable creations a truly complete one. The devs have delivered the goods once again with a very useful tweak which allows users to upload files through Safari on their jailbroken iPhone, iPad, iPod touch devices.
