Customizing the user-interface of an iOS device is extremely popular in the jailbreak community. Sure, plenty of us liberate our devices with the intention of downloading and applying one or two tweaks that offer essential system improvements, but as time progresses, more and more users are starting to overhaul the UI as their first task.
When 0bscure 7 came onto my radar, I immediately gave it the once over due to its simple but very impactive visuals. The entire theme consist of black and white icons, which when paired with the right background, creates a gorgeous look for your iOS device’s home screen.
Jailbreak tweaks making it easier for iOS users to share content on social network are not exactly at a premium, but today we've stumbled across one that seems to go above and beyond the usual call of duty. Compatible with both iOS 6 and the all-new iOS 7, Totarya will let you share all kinds of data, including photos and music, from one easy-to-understand menu, and on top of that, you can also quickly post a tweet or Facebook update with relative ease.
As well as the abundance of new titles that have established themselves in mobile space over the past few years, those old classics have found a second coming on our beloved gadgets. PAC-MAN is easily one of the most recognizable games of all time, and thanks to the App Store's new App of the Week promo, it has gone free for the very first time!
If mobile gaming is your thing, but aren’t into farming on your mobile device then Spawn Studios has the perfect solution. The original all-action hero is back on the small screen, this time making an appearance in Duke Nukem: The Manhattan project, a title that was originally released for the Windows platform more than a decade ago. This isn't the first time that we've seen the Mighty Boot grace Apple's iOS platform with his no-nonsense presence, but it is the first time that everyone's favorite fictional hero has brought his chaos to The Big Apple on the platform.
Apple's Weather app icon. It's never been something that users of the iPhone or iPod touch have been keen on. In fact, its inability to change its appearance as the weather changes outside the window has often been the subject of much ire and consternation amongst those of us that spend far too much time worrying about icons.
If you're an iOS device user with a keen interest in snapping photos to share with friends and family, then the limitations placed upon the native Mail app will definitely have caused you some concern. For reasons beyond our comprehension, Apple saw fit to limit the amount of photos that can be attached to an email to five, meaning that anyone wanting to send more than that would need to go through mail compose process multiple times. The very popular Mail More Photos tweak that originally resolved this issue in 2012 has now been updated with iOS 7 and ARM64 support to ensure that modern device users can continue to enjoy a limitation free Mail app.
Widgets are wonderful things, but if you're on an iOS device, they're few and far between. In fact, the only way you can really enjoy a widget on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is to jailbreak, and since we're now in the midst of a universal untethered break across the board, now would be as good a time as any for widget fans on Apple's mobile OS to stock up. If you're of the social networking persuasion, then Share Widget, which allows you to post to multiple platforms in one fell swoop, may be of interest to you. It is a Cydia-based tweak, and you can check the details after the leap.
Another day and yet another powerful and extremely popular package updated for the jailbreak community to get to grips with. It seems that every single refresh of the installed repositories within Cydia is resulting in a hoard of new and newly updated existing packages being made available for users running iOS 7 on modern devices. One of the latest to get the iOS 7 and ARM64 attention is AirBlue Sharing, a premium extension that offers Bluetooth OBEX (Object Exchange) File Sharing for all jailbroken devices.
Apple's Touch ID sensor on the 64-bit iPhone 5s seems to be what is currently hot at the moment among Cydia developers, with a number of them taking the opportunity to release tweaks that rely on biometric authentication to perform specific tasks. Ryan Petrich, of Activator fame, is the latest to adopt current trends with the release of his BioLockdown package, available to download now.
