The new Notification Center Apple added in iOS 5 is great, but there’s one obvious shortcoming. Because the company decided not to create HD, iPad versions of its Stock and Weather iPhone apps, Notification Center on Apple’s tablet unfortunately doesn’t feature a stock or weather widget. Even if you’ve managed to find a third-party iPad app, via which you can get your financial and meteorological fix, Notification Center nevertheless looks rather empty.
Apple's slide-to-unlock feature works fine, but it's not exactly an exciting way to unlock one's iOS device. Fortunately for us, a new jailbreak tweak called "Stride" makes iPhone-unlocking more enjoyable than ever before: once downloaded and installed, users can create an 8-bit visual password which must be drawn, in order to bypass the iPhone's lock screen.
TinyUmbrella - a Mac and Windows app that allows users to save their iOS device's SHSH blobs and BBTickets, in order to downgrade iOS version at a later date - has just received an update. Now, in version 5.10.12 of the application, users can save their BBTickets from an iPhone 4 (both GSM and CDMA) and iPhone 4S for later use.
A few weeks ago, we told you about AppUpdateNotifier - a jailbreak tweak that sent out a notification when iOS App Store updates were available to download. If you're looking for a similar jailbreak package that can notify you when updates are available in the Cydia Store, we would recommend you download Curiosa.
A new jailbreak tweak called f.lux promises to automatically change the appearance of an iPhone's screen, but not in the way you might expect. While Apple's iOS already features an automatic brightness toggle, f.lux changes the screen's warmth based on the time of the day.
A brand-new jailbreak tweak promises to make messaging via Apple's built-in Messages app a whole lot easier. Once installed, users can have the application add timestamps to every message sent and received, meaning you'll be able to more accurately track messages (and know if an iMessage, for example, hasn't quite been delivered on time).
The popular Internet tethering jailbreak tweak, MyWi, has recently received an update to version 5.5. Now, fans of the tweak can enjoy full support for iOS 5.x, including Readability improvements and faster connection speeds.
Here at AppAdvice, we love Siri-enhancing jailbreak tweaks - which is why we love MediaSpeak. This new package, once downloaded and installed, can have Siri announce tracks playing in the built-in Music app.
The jailbreak hacker extraordinaire, @pod2g, has recently made a few comments regarding the development of an iOS 5.1-compatible solution for A5(+) iOS devices - in other words, the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and third-generation iPad.
The folks over at FireCore have launched a brand-new version of Seas0nPass, adding 5.0 (iOS 5.1) compatibility. This means fans of Seas0nPass can now update to the most recent version of the Apple TV OS (which adds a new interface, and a bunch of other new features), while still enjoying the many benefits FireCore's jailbreak software provides.
A brand new jailbreak tweak called Camera Grabber for iOS 5 allows users to access the Camera app from their Lock screen without having to double-press the Home button.
If you often find that your iPhone's cell signal strength bars lie to you, consider downloading Bars: a new jailbreak tweak that promises to display users' accurate cellular signal via the signal strength bars in the top-left corner of the iPhone's screen.
A couple of days ago, we told you about Attacher - a new jailbreak tweak that allowed users to view files attached to iMessages. The only problem with the tweak, we noted, was that users were forced to download an alternative app (like SendAny, which comes with a price-tag) in order to attach files themselves to iMessages. However, this has now changed.
If you're an iOS hacker who's just uncovered a brand-new exploit in Apple's mobile operating system, the U.S. Government might pay you up to $250,000 for exclusive use of the exploit.
Apple's new iPad might be launching around the world today, but jailbreakers are going to have to wait some time before they can install Cydia (and all its wondrous tweaks) on their new iOS device. However, a new post which has recently appeared on the iPhone Dev-Team's website reveals a piece of news jailbreak fans will be glad to hear.
