If you've ever wanted to change the keys on your iOS keyboard to a funky shade of blue, well, you're in luck, because a little tweak by the name of BlueBoard does exactly that.
We’ve seen swathes of great iOS 7 themes pour out from Cydia recently. But while some have dramatically revamped the aesthetic of Apple's mobile OS for the better, others, such as Carla, have proved that sometimes, it's the subtle alterations that can make the greatest overall difference. Thientam Bach, aka Surenix, is actually known for his popular Ayecon theme, which was also recently updated for iOS 7, here he has once again demonstrated his masterful skills in a teaser for his latest theme, ayeris.
Around this time last year, we featured a jailbreak theme by the name of Carla, which offered some well-designed, beautifully-detailed icons and aesthetics to the iOS 6 experience. Now, the developer has come through with a version for iOS 7, and although bears many remnants of the previous edition, looks even more polished and appealing this time around.
Eclipse, a jailbreak tweak we featured late last month, adds a beautiful Night Mode to the interface of iPhone users. And now, Eclipse has been handed a useful update, bringing with it, among other things, beta support for the iPad. Details after the break!
The iOS 7 app switcher is incredibly slick, and after years of insufferable, barely-there, half-baked multitasking, certainly hasn't arrived before its time. As well as being functionally sound, the new app switcher also looks the part, but as with any aspect of iOS, there's always room for improvement where the jailbreak community is concerned. A new, free tweak over at the BigBoss repo enhances the experience by bringing full-screen previews to the app switcher, making full use of your device's display real estate. Check it out after the fold!
One of the great things about jailbreak tweaks is that they can be used to cut just about any corner in iOS. If we want to carry out a particular task quicker and more efficiently, there's usually a tweak for that, and every single day, the developers behind Cydia's wonderful exports remind us that the experience can always be optimized in ways we'd never imagined. Such is the nature of Phontact, a new tweak that, aside from having a name that rolls nicely off the tongue, allows you to access a special speed-dial facility by simply swiping the Phone icon in different directions.
It took Apple until iOS 4 to finally come through with the basic commodity of folders, and a further three revisions - right up to iOS 7 - before these folders could finally be deemed substantial. But while it's nice to be able to put an unlimited amount of app icons in one spot in iOS 7, there's still room for improvement, and a new tweak called FolderBoard offers a little something extra by allowing you to open folders in full screen mode.
Although Apple does not agree with the jailbreak community and does its utmost to prevent Cydia from reaching our devices, the Cupertino company has clearly been paying attention to some of the tweaks that have manifested from the center of the jailbreaking universe. Control Center, for example, seems heavily influenced by the famed SBSettings tweak, and although a user would previously have to jailbreak if they wished to enjoy animated wallpapers, now, this feature arrives as standard. But while it's easy enough to download other people's creations and set them as the home or lock screen backdrop, it's always nice to be able to cook up something unique, all by ourselves. For this very purpose, a new tweak by the name of WDynamic has just been released over at the BigBoss repo; more details after the leap.
Evad3rs have just released Evasi0n v1.0.5 for untethered iOS 7.0.5 jailbreak. Apple dropped the rather surprising iOS 7.0.5 to iPhone 5s/5c users outside the United States, and for a while, it appeared as though the Evasi0n jailbreak had been patched up. But it quickly became apparent that this was not the case, and having been deemed as untouched from a jailbreak-exploit point of view, iOS 7.0.5 is thankfully as innocuous as Apple portrayed in the release notes. Naturally, the ever-reliant Evad3rs team has updated its Evasi0n7 tool for iOS 7.0.5, meaning that it is now officially safe to update to.
We've seen an abundance of weather-based tweaks since the Evad3rs team broke through iOS 7 with its Evasi0n jailbreak tool, but a new entry to the Cydia Store by the name of Weatherboard offers a distinct twist. For, instead of helping you actually ascertain the current temperature, wind speed, precipitation, or any other climate-related info, this tweak simply lets you enjoy the undeniable beauty of mother nature in all its glory. With a total of more than 80 animated wallpapers, you can set your lock and home screens to any condition you like, so whether you find the visuals of lightning to be therapeutic or wish to dream about the summer clouds drifting by, this tweak is definitely for you.
