The native Maps app that comes built into iOS is fairly powerful on its own, but over the last few weeks jailbreak developers have created plug-ins to enhance it: namely Speed for Maps and Compass For Maps, which added an on-screen speedometer and a compass to said app, respectively.
If you're like me, you depend on your iOS device to wake you up on time everyday, thanks to its built-in alarm clock, which is part of the Clock app, which has been built into iOS since the very beginning. Yet, iOS only allows pre-defined tones to be played as the alarm tone; why not play some soothing music instead?
It seems a lot of the tweaks currently being developed through the Cydia Store make use of gestures. This works in the favor of everyday users, as in general, such tweaks help make the iDevice more productive to use, whilst adding a touch of sophistication.
If you're a fan of classic games, then this announcement is definitely meant for you; SEGA has just announced that its longtime favorite title, Sonic CD, will be making its way to all major consoles and smartphone platforms, ranging from the PlayStation 3 to the Xbox 360 to Windows Phone 7, Android and iOS.
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.
One of the most well-known utilities that have been built into iOS from the very beginning is the Calculator app, which does a great job for basic calculations, and sometimes not-so-basic ones. Yet, sometimes we only wish that there was an easier and quicker way to perform calculations in iOS: if you have jailbroken your device, now there is.
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.
If you feel like you lack in style and your image needs a bit of a re-jig, it sounds as though you could be missing an app which allows you to unlock your iPhone with style, thus gaining some street credibility.
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.
