It's generally accepted that you can never have too much information available at any given time, but it all comes down to how that information is presented, which is why jailbroken users could possibly be interested in the new HomeDisplay tweak that has landed in Cydia. More details and where to download from, can be found right after the jump.
Apps are wondrous little inventions, allowing us to increase productivity yet procrastinate heavily in one fell swoop. If you're looking for something to kill a lot of time, you've probably already been captured by the hopelessly addictive Candy Crush Saga, but if you are on the hunt for an app to help you out from day to day, a new app called HEARD certainly could pique your interest. In essence, it records sounds around you, allowing you to playback sounds and as such, recall details you might have missed from important conversations, such as instructions from your boss or the passcode you discussed with somebody and ought to have jotted down.
Musyc, a new app released for iOS, is yet another of those quirky music creation apps allowing you to whimsically create some very nice sounds by shuffling different shapes around. Although it sounds like a children's game, it's actually a lot more enjoyable and gratifying than it should be, and if you feel like kicking back and making some sweet music, check out the details after the jump!
It may seem like an eternity ago when we watched Apple lift the covers off the radically redesigned iOS 7 at this year's WWDC, but let's be honest with ourselves here - we're all still talking about it. Whether our opinions are largely positive, negative or remain neutral; the fact remains that Apple is embarking on a journey of rebirth when it comes to iOS. The introduction of iOS 7 saw a number of existing jailbreak tweaks become null and void, but developer Evan Swick can think himself lucky that his new NativeQR package is still relevant and hasn't been Sherlocked by Apple's creative teams.
We take a lot of screenshots here at Redmond Pie. We take screenshots of Macs, and we take screenshots of Windows. We take screenshots of Android phones and we take screenshots of iOS devices. No matter what the device, or what operating system it is running though, we seem to always end up with the image in some sort of photo editor just so that we can crop it.
QuickCall, a new tweak just made available over at the BigBoss repository, essentially allows you to throw up your contacts in an impromptu fashion using an activation method of your desire, before skimming through your contacts and making a call, starting a FaceTime call, or sending a message. Not only is this insanely useful if you don't wish to jump back through the home screen and between apps if you want to do different things, but the interface itself is very aesthetically pleasing.

The jailbreak scene is an ever changing landscape. What's new, noteworthy and popular on any given day can easily be cast into obscurity on the next, leaving space for a new package to step into the limelight and gain praise. Over the last few years we have seen a number of powerful and innovative solutions that allow jailbroken iOS users to quickly and efficiently access commonly used system settings without having to drill-down into menu structures within the Settings app. Most of those offerings have come in the form of some kind of modal overlay, or are accessed by other means, but now we have a new centralized toggle system called FlipSwitch and it's about to take the limelight.
British Airways, the UK's biggest airline, has just added boarding pass support to Apple's native Passbook app for iOS.

For some people, the daily barrage of seemingly infinite emails can be as grimly predictable as death and taxes. You could pick the most pleasant alert sound to notify you of when your inbox receives a new entry, but after a couple of days, it will just become a grating annoyance. Triage: Email First Aid, an app created for the Apple’s famed smartphone, the iPhone, tries to bring a bit of calm to proceedings by helping you quickly deal with new mail as it flies into your inbox.
There's undoubtedly some aspects of an iOS device which no other mobile platform comes close to match, but the same can be said for top-end Android handsets like the Galaxy S4. One of the beautiful things about being able to liberate Apple devices through jailbreaking is being able to implement new features that can mimic other operating systems, which is something that shines through in the QuickGestures tweak that is now available on Cydia. More details can be found right after the jump.
