The Nexus 5 has proved to be a huge hit since its release late last year, and for a while, we've been under the impression that the LG-made, Google-branded handset would soon add a vibrant red color option. After numerous murmurings, we've now got something a little more plausible in the form of a press render, and considering the leaker - Evleaks - is renowned for accurate snaps and info on upcoming devices, we're more than slightly inclined to believe this latest shot is the real deal. Check it out after the break!
The recently released StatusWeather tweak for jailbroken iPhones and iPod touches is the definition of simplicity. There are times when an in-depth, complicated package is required to provided intricate functionality to jailbroken users. There are also times when keeping it simple is definitely the best approach. StatusWeather definitely falls under the latter category and exists to capture the current weather details and make them visible at all times by placing them in the status bar.
The lock screen has been getting quite a bit of attention in this particular jailbreak window, with developers old and new looking to enhance the look, functionality and general behavior of iOS virtual front door. Like real front doors, it's lockable for security reasons, but rather than merely shutting others out, we're often only serving to create more work for ourselves as we continually type in the Passcode / password to enter. While not such a problem for those with Touch ID, a couple of new tweaks from developer insanj will help you to customize the auto-lock time-out duration, as well as the length of time before a password is required.
They may have slipped quietly under most people's radar, but Sony's odd little QX lens cameras for smartphones and tablets have received a firmware update that promises to bring some nice new features to the table. The cameras may not be as good as a traditional point-and-shoot solution, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve firmware updates!
If you love a good theme, but don't want to part with cash to transform your device, what would you say if there was a flat, elegant option out there that embodies everything that iOS 7 is about, but is offered totally free-of-charge? Let us introduce you to Liminal - iOS 7.
Even if you're not a fan of the NFL, the build up, advertisements and general buzz around the Super Bowl is pretty difficult to ignore, and this Sunday's Super Bowl XLVIII showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos is expected to attract a worldwide audience well into the hundreds of millions. It's going to be, as ever, quite the exhibition, and if you're still undecided as to where or how you're tuning in, the FOX Sports GO app will be streaming the event for free for those in ownership of the Apple iPad. It's a special, one-off promotional deal to get sports fans downloading the app, but hey, since it's free, why not?
As first confirmed by i0n1c, the exploits enabling the Evasi0n7 to jailbreak are still present in iOS 7.0.5. This is definitely good news for the jailbreak scene as a whole, and although Apple is very likely to take steps in preventing the practice of jailbreaking with the upcoming iOS 7.1, it does mean that for those who may have accidentally updated, all is not lost.
Facebook owned Instagram is without a doubt one of the most popular apps in the mobile world. Opinion will always be split on the photo editing and sharing network, but it's definitely difficult to recall how we managed to share our photos with the world so quickly and efficiently before the app came along. Regardless of whether you're a hardcore Instagram fan who professes that addiction to all who'll listen, or a closet snapper who uses the app in secret to apply a sepia filter to a photo of your lunch, we all deserve to be running a streamlined version of the app. And thanks to developer krishneelg3, Android users can now get a modified version of Instagram that is as beautiful and functional as Instagram for iOS 7.
Apple is well known for its water-tight policies regarding the kinds of apps permitted to grace its famed App Store, and with this in mind, it should come as no surprise that anybody attempting to release a BitTorrent client for iOS is resigned squarely to Cydia and the jailbreaking community. Nevertheless, with many thousands having jailbroken their iOS 7 iPhones and iPads through Evasi0n, running a native BT client becomes a real possibility, for those into this particular medium of file-sharing, the newly revamped iTransmission 4 jailbreak app touts itself as an easy way to manage torrents on-the-fly.
When the iPhone 5s first arrived in September, the feature that many were drawn to was the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and although some were quick to dismiss the new implementation as a gimmick, it has very much established itself as a well-crafted security asset. Given that, for such a new feature, Touch ID is already very reliable, it stands to reason that we would want to use something similar for our password needs on a more universal scale, and thanks to a little jailbreak tweak called UnlockID, Mac users can call upon Touch ID for their desktop password-entering needs.
