With the recent update and release of WinterBoard for iOS 7 and update to Cydia Substrate, it was a matter of time till we started to see an influx of great themes and tweaks for iOS 7. And Ayecon for iOS 7, which was teased by the creator of the theme - Surenix - on a number of occasions has finally been given the green light and is now available for download. We’ve got more details right after the break!
Of all of iOS features, multitasking has perhaps come along in the greatest strides since its introduction with iOS 4, and while the latest iOS 7 has been noteworthy for its aesthetic tweaks and genocide against skeuomorphism, it has to be said that the multitasking feature is looking a great deal more complete than it ever has before. The card interface provides novel previews of the app in its current state, making it easier to spot which ones still require your attention, but while you may have thought the new multitasking was slick and snappy, there's actually a way to speed things up further.
One of the most popular iOS jailbreak themes on Cydia has to be Ayecon, from Surenix. It's been around in various guises for some time now, and has been installed on more iPhones, iPads and iPod touches than we care to guess, and we're sure it'll be installed on countless more too. In fact, we're particularly confident about that now that Surenix has announced via a blog post that Ayecon for iOS 7 is almost ready for primetime.
Although iOS allows you to add images to contacts in your address book, for some reason, this feature still does not extend to the SMS app. Thankfully, the jailbreak tweak SMSContactPhotos, which essentially explains itself, has been updated for iOS 7, and as seems to be particularly in vogue for this latest Apple firmware release, has been named SMSContactPhotos7.
So here we are again. Another Tuesday, and another iOS beta release has winged its way out of Apple's developer program and onto iPhones, iPads and iPod touches the world over. One of those iPhones is in my possession, and I've been using iOS 7.1 beta 3 for a few hours now. The verdict? Well, it's iOS 7, but even though the big point-o release of September saw changes on a grand scale, somehow Apple is still finding design tweaks to make, and buttons to fiddle with. In the third beta release of iOS 7.1, someone in Cupertino's been at the interface design once again.
iOS 7.1 beta 3 download links have just been seeded to developers. As ever, there are bug fixes and such, and we've got all of the key details right here for you below.
Modding the iPhone and iPad is part of the charm of jailbreaking. In fact, it's arguably the biggest reason that people take to jailbreaking their iOS devices, and with people apparently desperate to stamp their individuality on their personal technology, Apple's devices seem to attract some of the most creative people around.
The jailbreak may not have been perfect from the offset, but it at least managed to inspire and motivate some third-party developers into building some new packages to delight the jailbreak community. It's currently early days in terms of iOS 7 and 64-bit compatible tweaks, but early previews of a number of extensions, including the extremely useful Bloard, show that the future is bright for the jailbreak world.
If stock apps such as Safari, Mail, Weather are crashing after jailbreak with Evasi0n7, here is how you can fix them on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch.
The HiddenSettings7 tweak, for those that missed it, unlocks bunch of cool iOS 7 settings obscured by Apple from the view of the end user, and having been released last week, the launch has now been swiftly followed by an update complete with support for the 64-bit processor of the iPhone 5s, iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display. Further details, as well as info on where you may find HiddenSettings7 for A7, can be seen after the break.
