Unfortunately, Cydia still doesn’t support the native multitasking / backgrounding feature which Apple introduced with iOS 4.x last year. What this means is that Cydia updates are installed whenever you start the app, followed by those annoying “Reloading Data” screens.
We have just been tipped by one of our readers about UK carrier Three blocking Cydia servers on their 3G network.
With Chronic Dev Team releasing GreenPois0n RC5 yesterday much was made of the inclusion of the option to add a custom animated boot logo. That's all well and dandy, other than the fact it doesn't entirely work.
Adding a spot of color to an otherwise sparse iPhone home screen is one of the main reasons to jailbreak an iDevice these days, and until today finding the right theme has been a chore. That's where Cydia's new Theme Center comes in.
We knew it was coming, and now it looks like Saurik has finally rolled out a new major update for Cydia.
Losing your valuable iPhone or iPod touch sure isn't very fun. iGotYa is a great alternative solution to Find My iPhone in order to find out exactly who took your iPhone and where they're located.
There is a new jailbreak app available in Cydia which allows you to take backups of your iPhone’s springboard theme, which includes: user settings, layout, wallpaper, MobileSubstrate configuration, hidden apps and folders. You can then restore to your favorite saved theme with exact layout and settings in a matter of just seconds
Back in November, we reported about “Pull To Refresh for Mail” tweak in Cydia for jailbroken iPhones. And now, this nifty tweak is available for Mobile Safari browser on your iOS device. Once the tweak has been installed through Cydia, all you have to do is to start Safari and slide the page down until you see the refresh dialogue appear. Once you release your finger, the page will refresh just as if you tapped the usual refresh button.
Cydia is a household name amongst the jailbreak community, but what does the word really mean? and why was it called that? Those of you who have jailbroken iOS devices are very likely to have used Cydia. The credit for this store which brings extra unrestricted functionality to our iOS devices goes to Jay “saurik” Freeman, who happens to be the brains behind this concept.
At the 360|MacDev conference, Jay Freeman (aka Saurik), who is the creator of Cydia store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has confirmed that he and his team are working to bring Cydia to computers running Mac OS X.
