Jailbreak Only: UISettings - The First Third-Party Widget For iOS 5

June 11, 2011
Apple's recently unveiled iOS 5 software update includes widgets, which are hidden away within the Notification Center. While only two widgets are present within the first beta version of iOS 5 (Weather and Stocks), a third-party developed widget - called UISettings - is now available to download in Cydia. Obviously, the widget is only available for users with a jailbroken iPhone, running iOS 5 beta 1 (and as of this moment, only a tethered solution is available for iOS 5). However, the tweak is available to download for free, and a new version is reportedly already in development. The widget itself adds an SBSettings-style interface in the Notification Center, with buttons that allow users to toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, brightness and even re-spring the Springboard. It's a handy widget, and something jailbreak fans will undoubtedly appreciate. As mentioned, it's available to download for free in Cydia. Simply add the following repository - "http://qwertyoruiop.com/beta" - and search for the package ("UISettings"). If you decide to take it for a spin, let us know your thoughts on UISettings in the comments. [via iSpazio, Google Translate]
