If you've recently jailbroken your iOS device under iOS 5.0.1, there's a chance jailbreak icons have been turning white or even disappearing. This happened to me a couple of days back - the Cydia icon transformed into a ghostly white, and nothing I did could coax its color back. Fortunately, if this has happened to you - or if other icons have been behaving in an odd manner - there is a free solution available in the Cydia Store.
The iPhone Dev-Team has recently released a new version of its redsn0w jailbreak tool (0.9.10b5), which fixes iBooks under iOS 5.0.1. Furthermore, the Corona jailbreak package - which can also provide iOS 5.0.1 users with an untethered solution - will soon receive an update that also fixes iBooks.

The tweak, once downloaded and installed, allows jailbreak fans to customize the color of notification banners: it's possible to change both the background color and the font color quickly and easily.
Though Siri-powered tweeting isn't something we can do officially on our iPhone 4S handsets, one jailbreak tweak - to be released before the end of the week - promises to add the ability.
The iPad's great, but for some reason there are a few built-in iPhone apps Apple decided to keep away from the "magical and revolutionary" tablet. If you have an iPhone and iPad, you'll know that your smart phone's Calculator, Clock, Compass, Stocks, Weather and Voice Memos apps aren't built into the iPad version of Apple's mobile operating system, which is a bit of a shame (especially, I would say, with regards to the Clock app).
