Gestures, when applied correctly, can make a great deal of difference to functionality. Not only do they make the process of switching between menus, apps, or certain features a lot more seamless, but there's a certain air of finesse about doing things this way. Gesture Music Controls, a new tweak that has just hit Cydia, makes using the Music app - as well as the controls on the lock screen and within the Control Center, just that little bit more pleasurable, and if you're an avid music listener on iOS, then Gesture Music Controls may well pique your interest.
JellyLock, one of Cydia's most loved lock screen app launchers, is the latest to provide that sense of elation to end-users thanks to an update that brings with it full support for iOS 7.
Last week, we brought you the news that SwiftKey was sort of coming to iOS in the form of a note-taking app, and today, it's officially available to download. Because of Apple's stingy API, developers of core apps like SwiftKey Keyboard cannot get into the guts of iOS and deliver a true replacement key-tapping experience, but for those seeking a more efficient way to make notes on their iOS device, SwiftKey Note can now be grabbed from the iOS App Store. Details after the break!
Sometimes an accessory pops up that has us all scratching our heads. We've no arguments that accessories have their place, taking existing hardware and either enhancing existing features or creating new ones. Accessories are just fine, but sometimes they fall wide off the mark. Sometimes we just can't quite get our heads around who thought they were a good idea, let alone who actually signed off on making them into a real, shipping product.
Apple's earnings call conferences tend to be of general interest to the wider on-looking tech community, particularly Q1, which covers the lucrative October-to-December holiday sales period. With the iPhone 5s having sold in unprecedented numbers for a new Apple smartphone (or any smartphone, for that matter), and the likes of the Retina iPad mini and iPad Air having debuted, this Q1 earnings call was always going to be impressive, and in actual fact, it was record-busting.
History has shown us that the most popular Cydia tweaks are those that work seamlessly with iOS to enhance to overall experience for the user. CleverPin, a tweak developed by Filippo Bigarella, is certainly one of the must-have options for the security conscious and has been updated with full support for iOS 7.
There are thousands of themes available on Cydia. But not all of them are worthy of your hard earned money. Here we have compiled a list of our top 5 WinterBoard for iOS 7 themes that we think are worthy of running on your jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
The path to a jailbroken and liberated iOS 7 device has proved to be full of hurdles and unforeseen obstacles. History has already shown us on more than one occasion that releasing a jailbreak can delight and infuriate users in equal measure, something that has once again been proven with the release of Evasi0n7.
Sure, after years in existence, the jailbreak scene has grown and expanded to the point where Cydia harbors thousands of useful, enhancing tweaks for iOS-lovers far and wide. But only an elite few have grown to become part of the furniture as fair as jailbreakers are concerned, and along with the likes of BiteSMS and the now somewhat unneeded SBSettings (thanks, Control Center), Springtomize has grown to become the ultimate all-in-one hub for those looking to mod and theme the look and feel of iOS. Now, the guy behind it, Filippo Bigarella, has revealed that an iOS 7-tailored Springtomize 3 is on the horizon, and if it can continue in the same vein as the two versions preceding, jailbreak lovers are in for quite a treat.
When iOS 7 was jailbroken one of the first things everyone got excited about was the prospect of being able to re-skin their iPhones and iPads. With the new look that iOS 7 brought with it, the need to customize it became a big deal for some, and the theme they all wanted was Ayecon.
