iOS has been designed by Apple to be as visually appealing as possible to the widest audience. Granted, not everyone is going to agree with the overall look and feel of a piece of software, but the challenge for a company like Apple is to come up with a visual layout that captures the imagination of as many users as possible. For those who don't agree with that artistic vision, and who are jailbroken, there is always the option to theme the device and change the firmware's appearance. And now there is an option for iOS 7 users to change the color of the displayed keyboard on a jailbroken device, thanks to the ColorY0urBoard tweak.
The App Store is certainly not short of to-do apps, which aim to make the daily grind a little bit easier by allowing you to organize and manage your life in concise, digital fashion. Clear, a beautifully simple to-do app for iPhone and iPad, has just gone free for one day only, and if you're looking for an elegant, functional app to help you keep on top of things, you'll definitely want to check it out.
There are parts of my childhood that I will always cherish, and Disney animated movies is definitely on the top of the list. The best part about them is the fact that they’re ageless - you still enjoy those titles as much today as you used to earlier.
Cydia is populated with tweaks and extensions that enhance the overall experience of iOS. One of the latest packages to have a stab at improving iOS goes by the name of TouchBar and is a small utility that lets users quickly toggle system settings on and off directly from the status bar of the installed device.
People who are regular jailbreakers tend to have their favorite apps and tweaks in mind when setting up a new device, and invariably one of those tweaks is IntelliScreenX. A hugely popular jailbreak tweak, IntelliScreenX by the folks over at Intelliborn has been around in various guises for quite some time, and it's one of the tweaks that we here at RP like to keep an eye on. It's also one that you like to know all the latest news about, which is why we thought you'd like to get the skinny on what when a new version of the original Notification Center-like tweak will be available.
We're sure this is something that's happened to you, because it's certainly something we've found ourselves doing on more than a few occasions. You've got an image or other piece of data that you can't just copy and paste, but you need to get that data into another app or simply use that as reference material for something that you're currently working on. The end result is lots of multitasking, which on an iOS device consists of double-pressing that Home button a lot and swiping around like your life depends on it. It's far from ideal, it takes too long and it's above all rather irritating.
Having teased his delightful new Ayeris iOS 7 theme earlier this month, Surenix has just released it via Cydia. It offers subtle alterations from the native look, toning things down ever-so slightly for a more accomplished overall look, and if you're looking for a way to tweak your iOS 7 UI without going for the radical overhaul, then Ayeris is definitely worth looking at.
To mark the release of Rio 2,which hits theaters on April 11th, the Angry Birds Rio game has just been updated to version 2.0, complete with a brand new episode based loosely on the forthcoming sequel. More than just a casual update, the new episode packs in a total of 26 new levels through which you may test your bird-flinging skills, and whether you're excited about the second movie or just a big fan of the Angry Birds franchise, this is one release you won't want to pass up on.
Most music players, including smartphones, will automatically pause music or video when the headphones or speakers are disconnected. Not only does this mean that we get to keep our place in the song / movie / TV show if the headphone plug is accidentally yanked from the jack, but can also save those precious droplets of battery. What our treasured devices don't do, however, is pause music when the volume is on zero, and while you could watch a video without sound, the same cannot be said for audio. A handy new tweak by the name of AutoPause does exactly as it purports, automatically pausing your music when you turn the volume right down to mute.
As a user of both iOS and Android-based devices, there are certain elements of each interface that I admire, and while the iOS lock screen is a lot prettier than it used to be, I still prefer the appearance of stock Jelly Bean's. As such, I was enthused to learn that the JellyLock tweak, which brings that native Android Jelly Bean interface to iOS, had recently been updated for iOS 7.
