It seems a lot of the tweaks currently being developed through the Cydia Store make use of gestures. This works in the favor of everyday users, as in general, such tweaks help make the iDevice more productive to use, whilst adding a touch of sophistication.
Those familiar with the iOS jailbreaking world are probably aware of Nicholas Allegra, commonly known as Comex, the author of the incredibly popular jailbreaking tool JailbreakMe. Now, he revealed in a tweet that he will be working as an internee at the company whose devices he loves hacking; Apple!
The developers behind the Cydia Store have certainly upped the ante in the last couple of months. With Comex's JailbreakMe exploit bringing thousands more to the jailbreak community, the supply has certainly increased with the demand.
If you're a regular reader of this site, or just a registered Apple developer, you're likely aware that iOS 5 Beta 6 was released on last Friday, as the system edges closer to its final form. If you have jailbroken iOS 5 Beta 6 using Redsn0w 0.9.8b5 (the old version), as we have mentioned before, you should have noticed some stability issues. Thankfully, all of these issues have been fixed in a new version of Redsn0w which was just released.
iOS comes with several customizable system settings, yet they often require users to navigate through several menus in order to access them. In order to access several commonly used settings, the jailbreak community has created tweaks like the recently-released BBSettings, which adds handy system options/toggles to iOS 5’s Notification Center, but what if you just want to have some toggles added to your lockscreen?
Most iOS users wouldn't like to trade the user experience of their system with the one found in Android, yet it's often nice to experiment with new user interface paradigms. Android Delete is a new jailbreak tweak that allows iOS apps to be deleted from the Home Screen just like they can on Android launcher.
If you've been following the Apple news recently, you're probably aware of iOS 5 Beta 6, the latest build of iOS 5 which was seeded to registered Apple developers. The first question you might be asking yourself is whether this new release can be jailbroken: the answer is yes, we have tested and can confirm that this latest seed of iOS 5 can be jailbroken using current version of Redsn0w (by pointing it to iOS 5 Beta 5 firmware), on any device other than the iPad 2.
If you feel like you lack in style and your image needs a bit of a re-jig, it sounds as though you could be missing an app which allows you to unlock your iPhone with style, thus gaining some street credibility.
Another day, another handy tweak from the jailbreak community. If you keep track of the new releases from the BigBoss repo, you may already have stumbled across GravityLockScreen, which gives you an alternative way to unlock your device.
Many sites these days require users to type in their email addresses in order to log in and register. On a traditional computer, it's acceptable, but not on a smartphone where every second of your time is valuable. Double At is a new jailbreak tweak that makes typing your own email address just that much easier.
