jailbreak

If you find Apple's default method of unlocking your iOS device a little cumbersome and overused then one of the latest tweaks to land in Cydia could provide some comfort. BlowToUnlock is a new tweak for jailbroken iOS devices that allows the hardware to be unlocked and accessed when a "blow" of air is detected on the device's microphone aperture. In short, you can hold the device up to your mouth, blow into it and expect to get immediate access to the device without going through the traditional Slide to Unlock process.

It's been a while since we've featured a Cydia export here, and with Apple's iOS 8 software now in its fourth beta with the fifth and apparently final installment due in the next week or so, it's clear that tweak developers are focusing their attentions on porting some of its features through to iOS 7. As detailed at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, iOS 8 will be quite a significant bump over the existing software, adding a number of new apps, quirks and features to the fold, and although the Control Center only manifested itself back in September, it's already in line for a freshen up. Thanks to a newly-released tweak, you can get that iOS 8 look right now, and below, we'll show you how to avail this updated aesthetic.
