If you've been jailbreaking for a fair amount of time, then you'll be more than familiar with Substrate Safe Mode. It's designed to help your device remain usable when conflicts arise, allowing you to resolve the issue and remove the problematic package(s) or extensions with as little incident as possible. It's not the most welcome of situations, since it only arises when there's a crash of some description, but it is a necessity in helping your device to recover, and with Substrate Safe Mode having just been updated in Cydia, this is one package you'll want to download and install at the soonest opportunity.

Before there were hardware and soft, full-sized QWERTY keyboards for mobile devices, there was the good ol' alphanumeric keypad.

One of Cydia's most impressive and comprehensive power management systems for jailbroken devices has just been updated with support for iOS 8 / 8.1.
Cydia may be lauded as the most important tool in the broad mechanics that comprise the jailbreak scene, and in many respects, it is. But if you thought that a jailbreak + Cydia = all of the untethered jailbreaks you've enjoyed over the last few years, you'd perhaps be underestimating the contribution of several other key components. Cydia Substrate, for example, is a quiet workhorse that, without it, Cydia cannot properly work its magic, and with author Saurik having rolled out several key updates already since Pangu8 released over three weeks ago, a new version has just arrived featuring a myriad of improvements and enhancements. Details after the jump.
Google is known for doing some rather strange things, even if they eventually turn out to be brilliant. Take Google's Fiber broadband rollout to select markets as a prime example of something that had us shrugging our shoulders before realizing that it made so much sense we can't work out why it didn't do it before.
Filippo Bigarella's famed Springtomize tweak has, in recent years, established itself as the go-to utility for modifying hundreds of little aspects of Apple's iOS operating system. Be it an aesthetic annoyance, such as a status bar entry that won't disappear, or a functional limitation, Springtomize operates as an all-in-one service that essentially combines the prowess of dozens of other tweaks, nullifying them in the process, and having already announced an updated version of Springtomize 3 for iOS 8, the author has now gone and rolled it out.

The jailbreak scene is there for one thing, and one thing only and that's to open iOS up to possibilities that Apple can't or simply won't. Over the years there has been plenty of things fall into both categories, and while some have eventually found their way into future releases of iOS, some are still absent.
