Jailbreak Tweaks
Articles that help jailbreakers tweak the Apple OS to do something that Apple didn't intend, but may be useful. New Way to multi-task, more icons in dock, tethering, etc
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.
A couple of days ago, iH8Sn0w updated his Sn0wBreeze jailbreak tool and added support for iOS 5.1. Now, the hacker has released another update for the free software, which makes a number of bug fixes but also adds support for the Apple TV (second-generation) running 4.4.3 and 4.4.4.
If you've installed iPhoto on your iOS 5.0.1-powered iOS device you'll find that iPhoto, as it's not compatible with iOS 5.0.1, is a little buggy and crashes rather a lot. Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak which has the power to smooth-out these compatibility issues has hit the Cydia Store, and is available to download for free.
In a recent Twitter update, Stefen Esser (better known in the jailbreak community as @i0n1c), noted that he'll have Apple's third-generation iPad jailbroken in five days - suggesting that he plans to at least start work on jailbreaking the iOS device as soon as he has one in his hands.
Good news, jailbreakers - an unlock solution is now available for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, which is compatible with Apple's recently released iOS 5.1 software update. The package (which is available now in Cydia) corrects the iPhone Dev-Team's ultrasn0w unlock, and can be downloaded for free.
