Considering it was created in the image of an iPod, you would have thought that the iPhone series would have the iPod feature down to a tee. That hasn't turned out to be the case, with many users unimpressed with the music functions on a device which were derived from the world's most iconic portable music player.
The developers behind the Cydia Store have certainly upped the ante in the last couple of months. With Comex's JailbreakMe exploit bringing thousands more to the jailbreak community, the supply has certainly increased with the demand.
iOS comes with several customizable system settings, yet they often require users to navigate through several menus in order to access them. In order to access several commonly used settings, the jailbreak community has created tweaks like the recently-released BBSettings, which adds handy system options/toggles to iOS 5’s Notification Center, but what if you just want to have some toggles added to your lockscreen?
Most iOS users wouldn't like to trade the user experience of their system with the one found in Android, yet it's often nice to experiment with new user interface paradigms. Android Delete is a new jailbreak tweak that allows iOS apps to be deleted from the Home Screen just like they can on Android launcher.
Another day, another handy tweak from the jailbreak community. If you keep track of the new releases from the BigBoss repo, you may already have stumbled across GravityLockScreen, which gives you an alternative way to unlock your device.
We all remember the days when we'd all gather around for a family picture, then we'd say a magic word such as "cheese" and snap a glorious image which we’d treasure later on. This same process is now being brought to iOS devices with a new app called ShutterVox.
Many sites these days require users to type in their email addresses in order to log in and register. On a traditional computer, it's acceptable, but not on a smartphone where every second of your time is valuable. Double At is a new jailbreak tweak that makes typing your own email address just that much easier.
One of the great mysteries of the iOS user experience is the lack of contact pictures in some apps, even when their use would make great sense. If you're like me, and you have a hard time identifying most people by name, so, sometimes it might be frustrating that many of the native iOS apps, such as Contacts and Messages, do not display contact images by default, unless you know a workaround.
One of the main new features in iOS 5 is the introduction of a few widgets as part of Notification Center. Yet, in this feature's short life, there hasn't been a really useful widget, until now. BBSettings displays a whole range of iOS settings right from within a widget.
In our installment of today's new Cydia releases, we present to you another handy tweak. There have been many attempts to bring a decent gesture-based system to iOS, and it seems as though they've finally cracked it - well, at least for the lockscreen.
