Yesterday, we told you about iFaith's latest update, which adds support for all versions of Apple's mobile operating system up to iOS 5.0.1, and recommended that users download the software, save their SHSH blobs and build a custom IPSW file for safekeeping. Now, we're going to walk you through the entire process, just so everything makes perfect sense.
If you want to spice up your iPhone's slide-to-unlock bar, download Slide Enhancer from the Cydia Store. This free twee, once installed, allows users to customize the text displayed on their jailbroken iPhone's slide-to-unlock bar when the handset has been locked.
TinyUmbrella has received an update that adds support for the recently released beta version of iOS 5.1. Though we would not recommend jailbreak fans updating to this version of the iOS (as there's currently no known means of downgrading, and no untethered jailbreak solution is available for iOS 5 or above), if you do decide to take iOS 5.1 beta for a spin on your iOS device, be sure to save your SHSH blobs first.
SBSettings Toggle Private Browsing is a new jailbreak tweak that adds a toggle button for Private Browsing in SBSettings. Once downloaded and installed, jailbreak fans can quickly enable or disable Private Browsing for Safari via from the easy-to-access SBSettings interface.
Great news, jailbreak fans: Springtomize 2 is available to download in the Cydia Store, meaning iPhone owners can now start customizing their handset like never before. The package, which is fully-featured, can be yours for the introductory price of $2.99.
A soon-to-be-released package called "SwitchSubstrate" will allow jailbreak fans to quickly disable every installed Mobile Substrate tweak by simply touching a SpringBoard icon.
If, like me, you hardly use the iTunes Store and opt instead for physical music in the form of CDs and the occasional vinyl, "NoStoreButton" (which, in my head I continually refer to as "StoreNoMore"), is the jailbreak tweak for you. Once downloaded, the package removes the Store button from the top-left corner of the Music app, eliminating the possibility that, while listening to music from within the application, you might accidentally touch the icon and find yourself within the iTunes Store app.
Today has definitely been an interesting day for the jailbreak community. Both the Chronic Dev Team and the iPhone Dev-Team have made announcements regarding the untethered iOS 5 jailbreak and iPhone 4S unlock, and the good news is that solutions for both are in the works and will, at some point, become available.
A new jailbreak tweak called "MobileMonitor" takes iPhone espionage to the next level. Once installed, the package works under-the-hood, automatically sending data from any given iPhone handset to a website, where information such as SMS messages, GPS location, Camera Roll images and more can be viewed remotely. The service, which appears to target parents and employers as its main clientele, is free to try but will set users back $19.90/month once this trial period has expired.
The popular jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich (@rpetrich) has got a brand new tweak in-the-works. It's called "SuperScroller," and once downloaded, the package allows users to quickly scroll up or down their iPhone's screen using an Activator action.
There is currently no iPhone 4S jailbreak. However, one of jailbreaking’s most impressive feature, SBSettings toggles, can be recreated on Apple’s latest handset, according to iDownloadBlog. Best of all, all that is required is an app available in the App Store.
On November 15, Amazon will release the Kindle Fire, the online retailer's answer to the iPad. However, for those that want to experience the Fire without spending the $199 to do so, there is now a solution, according to iDevice Daily.
Back in iOS 4, it was possible to zoom in the Camera app by double-tapping an iOS device's screen. However, in iOS 5 Apple removed the feature, replacing it with pinch-to-zoom which, in all honesty, isn't that practical. Now, a new jailbreak tweak called "ZoomIsBack!" brings iOS 4's tap-to-zoom feature to iOS 5.
Great news, jailbreak fans: Intelliborn has recently made "IntelliScreenX" available to download, meaning iOS 5 users now have another reason to jailbreak their iOS device.
The "SemiTether" jailbreak tweak that allows users to reboot their jailbroken iOS device without connecting to a computer has recently been updated. Now, the package is more stable and can patch Safari to work in the non-jailbreak reboot mode.
A new jailbreak tweak called "NotificationCenter Enhancer" alters Notification Center in iOS 5, making it display up to 11 lines of the text displayed in messages and emails.
Apple might have created the new Notification Center feature in iOS 5, but jailbreakers have quickly adopted it as one of their own. Case in point: the new WeeCompose jailbreak, according to iDownloadBlog.
Since the public release of iOS 5, Notification Center widgets have been hitting Cydia hard and fast. Now, another package has appeared called "WeeSpaces," which allows users to switch between iOS apps using Notification Center.
If the lack of an untethered jailbreak solution hasn't stopped you "liberating" your iOS 5 device, consider downloading "WeeKillBackground" - a new Notification Center widget that allows users to easily kill all applications on their iOS device.
