With over one billion active users, Facebook is the world's largest social network by quite a margin. But while the Menlo Park-based company has spent quite a lot of time implementing features like Facebook Home and system-wide Chat Heads to Google's Android, the restrictive nature of iOS has meant that Facebooking on an iPhone or iPad remains a squarely in-app affair. Thanks to the jailbreak scene, though, iOS users can enjoy a much more integrated experience when using Facebook, and a new tweak, which brings a neat RSS feed of your Wall right to your iOS home screen, has just been released via Cydia. Check it out after the break!
We're big fans of simplicity and minimalism here at Redmond Pie, and having been more impressed by last month's release of the elegant 0bscure 7 WinterBoard theme, we've now been treated to an equally slick lock screen theme by the same developer. GRAND LS is a clutter-free, uncomplicated lock screen alternative featuring a large, artsy digital clock as its show piece, and if you've been looking to tinker with the appearance of your iOS device's front page, then look no further than the GRAND LS.
Titanfall is one of the most highly-anticipated début games we've seen in a long time, and with the exception of last year's monumental release of Grand Theft Auto 5 from Rockstar Games, it's probably the most-hyped title of the past four or five years. If you too cannot wait to get your hands on this title, which releases on March 11th in North America, then we're giving away some invite codes of Titanfall beta for Xbox One. So, if you're in ownership of Microsoft's latest and greatest console, and would like to test the waters of Titanfall before its release, then check out the details after the break!
The Xbox 360 may have won the last major console battle over the PlayStation 3, but even though the latest machines have only been around for a couple of months, Sony's latest PlayStation 4 is already establishing a degree of authority over its Redmond-made rival. By the close of the year, the PS4 had sold 1.2 million more units compared with the Xbox One, and even though the latter did sell more in December in the United States, sales figures for January by NPD Group indicate that Sony's new machine outsold its adversary by a ratio of almost 2-to-1, but there’s a small surprise lurking inside the numbers.
Here's our top 10 list of best Cydia repositories for your jailbroken iOS 7 iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. If you’re on the hunt for some new jailbreak-specific stuff, be sure to add all of the repositories listed after the break!
Just when you thought that the whole Flappy Bird debacle couldn't get any more weird, here we are to tell you that no, actually, it turns out that things can get weird and then move themselves onto a completely new plane. A plane where people like to take a game that isn't really the most visually pleasing and then modify it so that it looks somewhat different. Still not appealing, but different.
Apple may have gotten its act together in improving the general performance of its home-baked Maps app, but well over a year on from the disastrous launch of Cupertino's first navigation app for iOS, many users still swear by the third-party Google offering that used to take pride of place as a native feature. Despite the obvious limitation of being developed as an App Store entity, Google Maps remains the real deal, and if you were wondering how to go about saving map segments and routes for offline use, here's a little step-by-step guide on how you can achieve your goals.
We've seen a plethora of leaked information that speculates on the potential technical specifications of the future Samsung flagship device, as well as conjecture surrounding the integration of a new external shell and an overhauled TouchWiz UI. "Sources familiar with the situation" have managed to furnish our inquisitive minds with pretty much everything we need to know about the Galaxy S5, except for an actual image that shows the aesthetics of the phone. That could all be about to change thanks to the latest Galaxy S5 concept that could be the most accurate we have seen yet.
Apple's latest and greatest smartphone, the iPhone 5s, has brought with it a host of new and exciting features. The A7 processor is backed up by 64-bit architecture, and with a dual-LED True Tone flash to accompany the improved rear-facing camera, the handset has been the subject of much acclaim. But aside from the gold model, which prompted an incredible response, the main talking point has been that mysterious Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Beefing up security, it has slotted into the iPhone repertoire rather nicely, but with the recent work of Evad3rs, what could the jailbreak community do with this new technology? Here, we survey some of the best Touch ID-related tweaks for the iPhone 5s.
The iOS native Spotlight search is a fairly useful tool, but it is limited as far as its capabilities are concerned. If you've been on the hunt for a utility capable of robust, system-wide scanning, then a new tweak called Weasel is just for you. Not only is it great for searching, but it's also a smart system that can solve calculations, define words, and provide easy access to general information. In a sense, Weasel operates rather similarly to Siri, but without the luxury of voice control.
