Considering that the Cydia store is packed to the rafters with tweaks and packages that span across multiple aspects of Apple's mobile operating system, it is always a nice treat to see an offering land in the repositories that offers something slightly different and exists solely to enhance a part of the operating system that has often been overlooked in the past. The CallTap tweak, may not be feature packed but it does offer some useful functions.
When it comes to the world of jailbreaking and the associated tweaks that are housed within Cydia, history has shown us that small and easy to use packages can sometimes be the best and most fun to use and interact with. There are always exceptions to this and there might come an instance when a little depth is required, but the tweaks that offer a quick and fun solution to something generally have a lot of mileage in them.
Personally speaking, I have been a user of iOS since the launch of the first iPhone back in 2007 and during that time I have always let Mobile Safari take care of my web browsing requirements. There has always been the temptation of fraternizing with some of the third-party browsers available on the App Store such as Apollo or SkyFire, but it always felt a little like cheating to move away from Apple's own offering.
As well as filling the many shortcomings of Apple's iOS, Cydia, and the jailbreak community, offer quite a few useful tweaks which, despite not necessarily being needed, wind up being great little additions nonetheless. Today's tweak certainly falls under this category, and although when I first installed it, I had very little optimism, it's one I've very quickly become accustomed to.
Google Chrome for iOS is one of the biggest releases we've seen so far for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Maintaining a four and a half star rating on the iOS App Store and reviewed by more than a 1,000 users, it is definitely an instant success amongst the masses.
I feel pretty confident in saying that any seasoned jailbreaker would agree to the fact that restarting an iOS device can be a painstaking chore. It doesn’t matter what type of jailbreak user you are, there comes a point in using the device where you just have to either restart it or respring it after installing a particular tweak or package.
The Apple iPhone may have just celebrated its fifth birthday, but the seemingly never ending list of useful functions that the device can be used for is always on the rise. The introduction of the iPhone 4 brought with it an integrated rear LED that was intended to be used as a flash for the built in camera but thankfully Apple also allowed developers access to the APIs that control the light.
Jailbreak tweaks and apps provide an easy (and usually safe) way to enhance your experience with an iOS device. There are two types of jailbreak apps: ones that add something on top of an included feature or others that bring all new features that improve user experience in a way never imagined before. The awesome tweak we’ll be talking in this post belongs to the former category. Check it out after the jump.
Judging by the internet chit chat and all of the tweaks that are popping up in Cydia, it seems that Google have stumbled onto a winner with the release of Chrome for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Chrome for iOS is definitely an extremely polished app, and even out of the box, it is a worthy competition for Mobile Safari, but there are a few things that need enhancement.
Music makes the world go round. At least that’s what they tell us in the hope that we throw our hard earned cash at the latest album to hit the shelves. Regardless of whether you are the type of person who subscribes to the latest music trends or just tend to go with the musical flow, chances are high that your iOS device will be regularly used for pumping out those tracks.
