Having a device that becomes obsolete is just no fun at all. Having an old device that doesn't run the latest versions of the software is bad enough, but not being able to even give the new stuff a try is a real pain in the neck. Plenty of us have old iPhones sat in drawers that could be repurposed for all kinds of things, but chances are they've not got iOS 6 on them,let alone iOS 7.
It's always been something of a thorn in the side of people who like their Android smartphones. It's all well and good picking up a fancy new phone with (hopefully) the latest version of Android running on top of it. Often the device ships with a version of Android that is already out of date, but while with other platforms this could be easily fixed by downloading an updated version of the software, that isn't quite the case with Android.
Having problem with jailbreak tweaks on iOS 7 crashing and not working after a reboot or a fresh install? Here's a workaround fix for Mobile Substrate which will temporarily get your tweaks running until official fix is rolled out on Cydia.
Updated Evasi0n 7.x untether package has just gone live on Cydia. The new version 0.2 of the package in Cydia brings all the changes that were part of standalone Evasi0n7 1.0.1 which was released as a tool for Windows and Mac a few days ago.
Now that Evad3rs has launched an iOS 7 jailbreak, we're all sat impatiently waiting for what has to be the most obvious tweak that anyone could wish for on an iPhone 5s. In fact, it's something that we've been asking Apple to add in subsequent releases of iOS 7, but it doesn't look like it's going to be forthcoming. At least, it's not in iOS 7.1 as yet.
It's amazing how jailbreaking seems to go in waves. We have those busy spells where all we ever seem to hear about is new tweaks and apps hitting Cydia that should, hopefully, blow our minds and change the way we use our iOS devices. Then we have a period like the one that we've just come out of, where interest seems to wane and jailbreaking almost slips into hibernation.
Instagram, love it or loathe it, is very much the center of many of our lives. It's how people share photos of their kids, their holiday destinations and their family gatherings. Yes, there are plenty of people who post nothing but photos of their breakfasts or are busy taking selfies at funerals, but for every pointless photo on Instagram, we're willing to bet there are two that are magnificent. Just follow Trey Ratcliff's feed and you'll see what we mean.
The release of an iOS 7 jailbreak is certainly the biggest news of the last week, but that left us all wishing that Cydia would be updated to something that looked a little more iOS 7-like. Sure enough, the update to Cydia rolled around, but somewhat oddly the app's icon wasn't updated accordingly. On a home screen full of icons that are nice and flat, Cydia's stands out like a sore thumb.
It's fair to say that changing an iPhone's carrier logo is one of the more basic things that people jailbreak their iOS devices for. It's also one of the most named reasons for jailbreaking, with some people seemingly happy to just get rid of some overly long, scrolling carrier names even if it means hacking their device's software. And who are we to argue?
Want a iPhone screen recorder app for iOS 7? Now that the iOS 7 jailbreak is publicly available for all devices, we have started seeing much welcomed influx of powerful and innovative tweaks landing on Cydia's repositories. One of the few to catch our attention is a beta version of CoolStar's RecordMyScreen tweak that has been updated and made available specifically for iOS 7 devices.
