The majority of iPhone users who have been patiently waiting for the upcoming jailbreak solution were dealt a little bit of a blow by Apple today. The individual members of the newly formed Evad3rs jailbreak team have been publicly begging Apple to push out a final release of iOS 6.1 so that they can apply the final touches to the untethered jailbreak, but instead Apple replied with yet another beta of iOS 6.1. A minor set-back for most, but the ever-present silver lining is that those who have access to the fifth beta of iOS 6.1 can also enjoy a tethered jailbreak on older A4 devices through the use of Redsn0w.
There's been a lot of talk over the last few months about the future of jailbreaking and whether or not we will continue to see jailbreaks actively worked on by the dev-teams as Apple make internal security changes to iOS. There's no denying that the mood within the jailbreak community has been extremely sombre of late as users live without that elusive device liberation on iOS 6 and newer devices, but it looks like things are about to take a turn for the positive.
This App Lets You Play Different Music Tracks Simultaneously On iOS For The Ultimate 3D Sound Effect
iOS’ built-in Music app is used by many each day to play our favorite tracks from our iTunes libraries: it serves its purpose, but some users might want to take their music listening a slight step up and play several of their tracks at once. For this, there’s a new jailbreak app, known as Music Collocator, which makes this possible.
We've come across fairly interesting and accomplished jailbreak tweaks over the years which iOS users have downloaded numerous times from Cydia. While some have been truly exceptional and innovative, some of them have been created just for the sake of it. The tapUnlock package that is available to download now from Cydia would more than likely be classified as a package created just for the sake of producing something.
iOS 6 Jailbreak For iPhone 5 Untethered Is Ready On iOS 6.0.2, Still Needs Some Work Done On iOS 6.1
Our readers here at Redmond Pie should know by now that we love everything associated with the legitimate side of iOS jailbreaking. Although we have historically had some exceptionally talented development teams working in the community to find exploits in Apple's iOS and produce fully working jailbreaks from them, it's hard to deny that things have seemed a little stale of late. For those that never lost the faith it seems that your positivity was well placed with legendary developer Planetbeing taking to Reddit to provide a little more insight on the current status of that elusive iOS 6 jailbreak for iPhone 5 and other devices.
The year 2012 saw a number of quality releases for jailbroken devices over on the Cydia store for iOS. We would like to take a look back over what has actually been an extremely successful year for developers of jailbreak tweaks and apps in terms of innovation and the release of quality packages onto the Cydia platform.
Many of you who have got a iPhone 5 or any other new iOS device as Christmas present have been asking on whether there is any untethered iOS 6 / 6.0.1 jailbreak available for the devices like iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad and so on.
Remember when you purchased your first iPhone, received your first telephone call on it and were entirely perplexed when the screen turned itself off every time you raised the device to your head during the call? I certainly remember getting the original iPhone in 2007 and believed the behavior based on the inclusion of the proximity sensor was nothing short of with craft. As I learned more about the device it became obvious that switching the display off in those circumstances was a pretty clever idea and now thanks to a new tweak users can invoke that functionality at will through a pre-defined gesture.
It's pretty accurate to say that most iOS users who make use of a jailbroken device have been paying attention to the progress of a particular multitasking tweak, after it was revealed that a designer’s fantastic concept was being brought to life by a dev team. That package has since been given the name Auxo, and is now available as an initial release in Cydia, with the hope of becoming the accepted method of handling multitasking on iOS devices by reinventing the controls that are contained within the switcher as well as the greatly enhancing the aesthetics and presentation.
Whenever Apple take the opportunity to add new frameworks and features into iOS, it always opens the door for jailbreak developers to build new and interesting tweaks that take advantage of the new additions. The release of iOS 6 saw Apple extend their initial Twitter integration to support Facebook and Sina Weibo as part of the new Social framework within the iOS SDK, a move that has resulted in the creation of the QuickShare for ActionMenu package available now on the Cydia store.
