For those among us who regularly use the native Camera app on the iPhone to capture images, chances are that you are constantly looking to the App Store and Cydia for the latest and greatest app or tweak to take your photography to the next level. The release of iOS 6 saw Apple take on third-party panorama apps by implementing their own capture facility within the Camera app itself, which is a feature that has now been extended thanks to the LLBPano tweak within Cydia.
Taking a screenshot in iOS is easy. Apple has offered the feature since day one, and as long as you can master the simultaneous pressing of the sleep and home buttons, a screen capture will automatically be deposited into your camera roll. How is it so, then, that taking a video recording of the current screen is so much more difficult? The process tends to involve costly, time-consuming desktop software, but thanks to a little jailbreak app by the name of RecordMyScreen, it needn't be this way. More details right after the jump!
The Clock app which comes bundled with iOS has quite a few functions, but is used primarily by iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users for its ability to set reliable alarms. Of all the areas of Apple's revered mobile operating system, it's one that doesn't require a great deal of attention in upcoming revisions since it - barring one or two hiccups - does exactly what is required of it. But the jailbreak community is not known for settling, and developer GSquared has created a tweak by the name of AlarmDisplay Pro which uses your Clock app's icon badge to present alarm information at a quick glance.
As far as prominent figures in the jailbreak community go, Joshua Hill - also known as P0sixninja - is up there with the best of them. If you remove his various public Twitter based meltdowns from the equation, you are left with a person who has undoubtedly been one of the most important components in the production of recent jailbreaks. Although we haven't heard a great deal from him since his rather acrimonious departure from the Chronic Dev Team, it looks like he could be potentially about to propel himself back to the top of the pecking order after claiming to have all the necessary exploits required for the production of a new jailbreak.
One of the most important aspects of any mobile device is undoubtedly the amount of power manufacturers manage to bundle into any device on the market. Any smartphone or tablet can come equipped with an array of innovative next-generation features, but if the battery depletes far too quickly, then that device becomes entirely useless from a user's perspective. We've previously seen a number of App Store and Cydia based packages that offer an insight into how a battery is performing on the installed device, but one of the latest to land on the BigBoss repository is the iBatteryInfo tweak that presents some useful information to the user based on certain charging conditions.
We've made it our mission to get intricate with most of the powerful and interesting tweaks that land on Cydia. Some of them may not be to our tastes, and some of them may not offer the functionality that we would necessarily make use of, but each user is different and the old saying of "one man's trash is another man's treasure" definitely springs to mind when talking about jailbreak tweaks. We have also made it our mission to stay away from jailbreak orientated themes unless they are truly exceptional and make Apple's iOS a genuinely more attractive and elegant place to be. I guess that must mean that the Carla theme for jailbroken iOS devices is one of those stand out creations that makes the grade.
Millions of users religiously jailbreak their devices in order to install minor tweaks that change the way specific aspects of the system looks or works, which is why the new LiveWire tweak is sure to be extremely popular with those looking for a free-of-charge animation based download.

It’s pretty fair to say that the average iOS device user has a significant number of third-party apps installed on their device. Regardless of whether it's an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad; the chances are that the user has browsed through the App Store, found the apps that interest them and gone through the installation process multiple times. Not only does installing different apps mean enhanced functionality on the device, but it also means that sooner or later there will be a large amount of updates for those apps that filter through from the App Store. We should all know from experience that those little App Store badges can become quite annoying if the update isn't installed right away.
Although we love Apple and their fantastic phones, personal music players and tablets, we have always said time and time again that one of the great things about being able to jailbreak an iOS device is the feeling of liberation that is achieved when we step outside of the Cupertino walled garden. A lot of jailbreakers simply like to install that one simple tweak that might introduce a new feature they really need, whereas others like to go the full hog and totally reinvent the interface and customize almost every aspect of the system. For those that like to customize and draw inspiration from Google's Android, then the JellyBean iWidget is definitely a good option for weather forecast lovers.
If you have ever been in a situation where you've needed to time something, or see how long it takes a friend to perform a certain task, the taking out your iPhone, launching the Clock app and jumping into the Stopwatch time is in itself a time consuming task. Granted, this may have only happened to an extremely small subset of iOS users, but a problem solved is still a problem solved, and thankfully, this niche problematic situation has been eradicated for jailbroken users thanks to the Stoppur tweak.
