5 Cydia Tweaks That Will Make Your Life Easier

Apple and their current updates don't allow a user to have free reign of their device. This can lead to a lot of problems. Default settings and badly designed applications means getting the most out of your phone or tablet isn't always possible.

Thankfully, Cydia helps bypass many of these annoying restrictions with the help of useful tweaks. Here are 5 tweaks you can start using today which will make using your life that little bit easier.

1. Browser Changer 

While the app store has multiple browsers to choose from (Chrome, Mercury, etc), Safari always remains the default browser. With Browser Changer, you can fix that. All third-party links you open will then open up in your new default browser.

2. Dimmer 

Whether you're playing music at night or just have sensitive eyes, you'll want to dim your device more than is currently allowed. The lowest level of lighting Apple currently allow is still too bright for some. With Dimmer, you can lower your lighting levels to blackout. There's also a safety feature to get the brightness back quickly should you need it. Hit the more volume button four times and there will be light again.

3. LocationFaker 

Recently, there's been lots of talk about privacy. Since Snowden revealed how much the government were spying on citizens, there's been a call for more anonymity. With LocationFaker, you can pretend to be somewhere you're not. This app also doubles up as a way to bypass location filters. Lie about what country you're in, and enjoy benefits from services not available in your area.

4. Battery Safe

We all worry about our battery. With so many apps, videos and games to enjoy, using our devices sparingly just isn't fun at all.

The Battery Safe tweak on IOS 8 won't charge an empty battery when it's out of juice, but it will do something pretty helpful. When you're in the dreaded red zone, Battery Safe will try to preserve your remaining juice by closing down all battery-hungry apps. This won't affect anything important either. Users can decide what closes and what doesn’t.

5. Safe Alarm 

Apple devices are carried everywhere throughout the day. When in some places, like the office or church, it's necessary to turn the volume off so that they don't cause a disturbance. This is fine, until it's time to wake up in the morning and you remember you haven't fixed the volume.

Safe Alarm prevents you from oversleeping due to a silent alarm. The tweak separates the alarm volume from the device volume, meaning even if your phone is on mute, your alarm will still sound. There's no excuse for being late for work anymore. Unless you were reading our Cydia Masters blog. In that case, we'll let it slide.

Conclusion

There are many great Cydia tweaks around, but we believe the above 5 are the best for making your life easier. They solve some of the most common problems Apple users find, such as the inability to change default apps and alter screen brightness. You'll also be able to stop silly design flaws from making you late for school or work. The Location Changer is more for fun, but we know what an annoyance it is when you're trying to sign up to a service or what a video, only to be told it's not available in your state, country or location. 

iCleanerPro: Maximizing Your Phone's Memory

One question everybody with an iPhone asks is: "How can I get more memory?"

Unless you've paid the extra for the larger GB handset, or are a religious user of Cloud based storage systems, you've almost certainly run into problems finding enough space for your latest app or download.

This isn't just a Cydia-related problem either, though Cydia users most certainly suffer from space limits more than most. 16GBs just aren't enough for every app, video, song or picture that you want to keep on your phone.

One great way to get on top of your memory problem is to use iCleaner Pro. This recently updated app for jailbroken phones helps rid your device of useless garbage that may be stored on it. No, we don't mean PSY's song, Gangnam Style, we mean unnecessary files, cookies and temp files.

The Advantages

The advantage of having the app is that it saves more than your device's memory space; it saves your time, too. Going through your iPhone or iPad to find unused files is such an inconvenience and waste of an hour or too. Yet, to get the most out of your memory, it's something that needs to be done.

Thankfully, you can just automate the process. The iCleaner Pro app, which has recently undergone some changes to make it more integration friendly, makes the process effortless, and is like adding extra memory to your beloved gadget.

Other Benefits

The iCleaner Pro app is compatible with all of the latest IOS upgrades. That includes all 8.0x editions of the software.

Its intuitive nature means it's not going to touch any files you use regularly. Your precious family photos are safe, as is your music collection. The high scores you've accumulated on your gaming apps are protected, as well as your videos.

iCleaner Pro only removes stuff you don't need, and stuff you won't miss. Think accidental screenshots. Think iPhone pictures you don't care about. Think fonts, languages, unread messages and cracked files. The app will also remove out of date firmware on your device, which can give you up to 20 GBs worth of extra space.

How Does it Work with Cydia? 

The iCleaner Pro app can be configured to whichever setting you prefer. You can toggle on/off items as you please. Most people have the settings on to clean Cydia, Safari and Google Chrome (or their regular browser). However, the choice is yours.

Usability

If you're the forgetful type, or just like sticking to your routines, you can set the app to a schedule. This means it will run without you manually prompting it to. You'll get to enjoy a nice clean device without having to remember to clean it up.

Tips 

When first downloading iCleaner Pro, it will be set to clean log and temp files only. This means, if you want a deeper clean, you will have to change from the default setting. This is easily done, but most don't realize the limited nature of the initial app.

Conclusion 

Don't settle for a less than optimum jailbroken phone. Make use of one of the many effective cleaners currently around. We like iCleanerPro because of the reasons above, and because of its ever growing popularity. If you use iCleanerPro, of think you have a better device cleaner we should know about, mention it in our comments section below.

Jailbreaking - Is it really worth it?

Shall I Go For Jailbreaking or not?

iPhone jailbreaking could be the biggest dilemma for any iPhone user; at least once in his iLife. And as there are so much advantages and disadvantages associated with jailbreaking this dilemma is ought to be there. But let's see it from the neutral eyes and evaluate is it good to have your iPhone jailbroken or not.

First of all let us see what jailbreak means. It means your phone is allowing access to outside apps to access your iPhone root level files. And these files could be serving various functions viz. looks of iPhone, security of iPhone etc. Now if your iPhone is jailbroken; in a way those apps can edit/add/delete files at the root level. And this is the reason why Apple does not support jailbreaking. Because as the root level access is there; iPhone functionality and security could be compromised. (and if Apple allowed jailbreaks then possibly their stores will be full with people who have broke something with some Cydia app). Apple's app store is something else where all the apps are evaluate on single app basis for security and functioning. That does not mean that all the Cydia apps are harmful; these only contribute to less than 5% of huge list of Cydia apps on the CydiaStore. Jailbreaking is legal in US and other countries; though Apple would ask you to fix something if that was caused after you jailbroke :(

Cydia apps on the other hand; have proved to given wings to iPhone. If you list top 10 utilities of iPhone more than 5 should be in a way related to Cydia. And you will be surprised to know that Apple adapted Cydia tweaks for iOS 7 to improve performance. There are some other cool Cydia apps and tweaks like iBlacklist, Springtomize 2, Zephyr. Apple did the right thing by adapting some of the all time great Cydia apps to make iOS much better. But still there are things to change and we hope they are taken into consideration by Apple.

Advantages of iPhone Jailbreaking:

1) Freedom with huge list of apps:

Cydia store is having at least one app for virtually any function you could think of on iPhone. So user gets a huge freedom to select the apps from these lists. You can get app for call recording, themes, ringtones, Wi-Fi and you tell what.

2) Free Wi-Fi Tethering:

This is one more advantage of iPhone jailbreaking if you are currently charged to use in-built tethering facility on your non jail-broken phone. Apps like MyWi allow you to have free tethering with your iPhone.

3) Fully iPhone Customization:

This is the reason why people want to go for jailbreak. Apple shackles don't allow you to customize your iPhone in any other way apart from Apple standards. So you can't have your name logo instead of carrier network, or you can't customize iPhone lock screen. Cydia tweaks and apps allow you to have full control of your iPhone. And this is the biggest advantage of iPhone jailbreaking.

4) Bridge to iOS system:

You can open the iOS system files if you ever feel the need; i.e. when you want to remove some corrupted game/app or to get apps which are not available on App Store.

Disadvantages of Jailbroken iPhones:

1) No Warranty:

As we discussed earlier Apple does not support jailbreaking your iPhone; so no warranty is applicable once you go for the jailbreaking.

Though jailbreaks are reversible and you can get back to normal iOS environment; but Apple still won't cover you under warranty once any jailbreaking was done on the device.

2) Easy Prey for Malwares:

Jailbroken phones are the easiest prey for malware and other threats. This is because proper app screening is not done in the Cydia store; like App store does it. This can be avoided though (see last paragraph).

3) You don't know how secure you are:

You really don't know how secure you are after you went in for jailbreaking. If you are picky in selecting Cydia sources and apps; you might know you are more secure than those who pick with blind eyes but you can't say you are 100% secure. And not much anti-virus support is available for iOS which adds up to the misery.

4) Software update and oh it's gone:

As Apple does not support jailbreaking; once you update iOS all your jailbreaking personalization and Cydia apps are gone. So if you are on iOS 6 now and want to upgrade to iOS 7 then you need to jailbreak again for iOS 7. There are tools available to backup your Cydia apps; but going for jailbreaking everytime you update an iOS can be headache at times.

Conclusion:

Jailbreaking is a great way to customize your iPhone but you should be careful from where you should jailbreak your iPhone and what source you should go for the Cydia apps and tweaks. There are some good source available on Cydia store which have good reviews and they have been providing with great apps and tweaks. 

As far as the jailbreaking is concerned you can get it done through free sites which have least reliability and support. So I would rather advice you to go for experienced jailbreaking providers like this; so you have peace of mind when you jailbreak your phone. Sometimes the iPhone hang and jailbreaking is not complete and Apple can't help you either.

Cydia Apps for iPhone Rules The Market:

It is available from BigBoss repo for 4.99$ (Looking at the current iOS update I strongly feel these prices will definitely slash. This is because some of the Zephyr features are already built-in with iOS 7).

3)FullForce:

Perfect for game playing on iPad; this Cydia tweak forces the app screen to fit the iPad screen. This is very handy when you use a lot of apps and games which are designed only for iPhones and black bars appear sometimes on the edges; when the app is open.

Best Cydia Apps and Tweaks - All Time

Best Cydia Apps And Tweaks for iPhone (or iPads)

Second most haunting question an iPhone user have is what are the best apps for him. Of course the first question remains the same; shall I jailbreak my iPhone or not? And once you are jail-broken you always want to know what are the best Cydia apps and tweaks which can help and entertain you throughout the course. And to ease out that second question about jail-broken iPhones we are giving you a list of best Cydia apps and tweaks which people have liked for so long and they use it with pleasure.

10) Airblue Sharing:

People loved it when this cool pairing Cydia app was launched and they appreciated it after continued use. AirBlue sharing took the trauma of not being able to pair iPhone with other iPhone as well as iPhone to other devices. This app never lost it charm and has been successfully helping out people to connect. AirBlue sharing provided what a Bluetooth pairing provides(connection, file transfer, Wi-Fi sharing and all); but at much higher speeds.

9) Zephyr:

Zephyr really came as rescue to get solution for broken iPhone home button. People could get this Cydia tweak and they did not have to use iPhone home button ever again; if it was broken. And that was not the only utility for this cool app. It gave freedom from boring Apple app switcher and multitasking area. Just like AirBlue this app was also well appreciated and it remained high rated from the time it came out. And it remains the cheapest solution for broken iPhone home button outside Apple. (Apple have AssisitveTouch which is free option for broken home button)

8) 3G Unrestrictor:

I really hated when iPhone flashed a message that I can not perform this action on mobile data and I need to be on Wi-Fi to do it. Just like Face-time or downloading a comparatively large-sized app. Well this utility which has to get place on best Cydia apps and Tweaks; does it all for you. You can call someone over Face-time or download those large file. In a nutshell. it let's you do things over 3G, which are otherwise not allowed.

7) iFile:

This cool app took away the trauma of not being able to access the root files of iPhone. It allows users to edit, alter the permissions, rename and change the root files of your iDevice. Some people complained of this app being too complicated and wiped away the data on their device. This is probably because those guys did not know the iOS filing system and used this app without proper caution.

Looking at the great benefit offered by this cool jail-broken app it has to be included in best Cydia apps and tweaks of all time.

6) iBlacklist:

Don't want your boss to call you when you are on vacation and at the same time you want to keep the number open for your mom? Well iBlacklist gave you that freedom on iPhone. It allows you to block specific numbers from calling you. You can also block all unknown numbers from calling you. So, don't worry about your EX calling you for patch up when you are with new partner :)

5) Springtomize:

Well, how could this be kept out of the list of best Cydia apps and tweaks. This is not a single app, rather a bunch of app which allows you to customize so many things. It allows you to change carrier logo text, home, LockScreen, icons, folders, app switcher and all.

4) Infifolder:

Apple came out with folder thing for icons and they allow you to make folders and put app icons in them. But there was a certain capping on how many icons could fit in one folder. Infifolder removes this capping and you can put as many icons as you wish in one folder.

What more could you ask for? It also allows you to make sub-folders in the folders and you can do some customizations as well.

3) Activator:

I would rather call this as mathematician's application. It allows you to set a function associated with a trigger action. Like if you can set a specific app to open with double tap of the home button. It is really useful as you don't need to scroll or tap more for your personalized repetitive actions.

2) vShare:

For most of us vShare is number one among best Cydia apps and tweaks. This cool app allows you to download paid apps and games for free on your iPhone and iPad. So you don't need to worry how much a specific application costs as long as its crack is available on vShare. Moreover, user interface is very easy and user-friendly on this app. 

1) Winterboard:

Winterboard was first of its kind app which allows users to change the look of their device the way they wanted it to be. It comes packed with lot of tweak and themes which can change your iPhone look every hour if you want to.

These best Cydia apps and tweaks were not numbered according to priority. So, for someone vShare could be number 1 and for someone it might not be in top 10. But all these apps have been appreciated highly by global users. Let us know if you wanted to see some app in this best Cydia apps and tweaks list.

How To Backup Cydia Apps

Why Backup Cydia Apps?

Cydia allows you to break the shackles of Apple on your iPhone. But the most frustrating thing is when you update your iOS and go for one more jail-break all your Cydia apps are wiped out from the iPhone (it's been already proved Apple does not like Cydia...Ha ha). And this is really annoying for someone who is using a jail-broken iPhone as he/she is used to Cydia apps used earlier. In this article we will show you how to backup Cydia apps so you can reuse them after you have updated your iPhone operating system. This can be done by two means one is free backup (this is only working for paid Cydia apps you purchased) and one is by buying a paid backup service.

1) Free Backup:

The Cydia store is just like App store and it stores all your purchases. So you can backup Cydia apps from the Cydia store only. After you have installed the new iOS and done with the jailbreaking; login to your Cydia account. And go to Manage Account tab; all your purchased app should be sitting there. You can re-install them one by one. This is totally free and you can enjoy all your favorite Cydia apps and tweaks backed up. 

Simple isn't it? But there are two issues with this easy way. First is you can only backup Cydia apps which were paid as Cydia stores only saves data for purchased app and not for the freebies. And second thing is this method won't allow you to download an app if it was pulled back by the developer.

2) Open Backup:

This is the cheapest backup service to backup Cydia apps. Once you have it installed on your device you can tap on "Backup" button to backup your Cydia apps and tweaks on iCloud or iTunes. Once you are done with the iOS update and all you can tap on restore thing and it will bring your apps and tweaks back on your device. 

3) xBackup:

This 1.50$ app is very good when it comes to save your Cydia data. This can also save your individual app settings which makes it more competitive at this small price. Methodology remains same here too, Backup Cydia apps, update the iOS and restore the Cydia apps and tweaks back on your iDevice.

4) PKGBackup:

This comes at slightly higher price of 8$ but this is very good when it comes to backup up your Cydia apps. This is highly recommended for power users who use Cydia a lot for so many apps and tweaks and want a secure and safe backup service. This app also allows you to save your backup at different places. You can save it at your address book, in your DropBox account or in Sugar Sync account. PKGBackup will scan your device for backup and will tell you which apps and tweaks need the backup. It will also let you choose what types of files you want to backup in certain Cydia app. 

The real downside of this backup is the high rate. But if you really use a lot of Cydia apps which are highly priced and all you can certainly go for this service.

Hope this helps to answer your question on How to backup Cydia apps. Please keep on visiting for latest Cydia tweaks and tricks. Bookmark us now so you don't miss the important Cydia updates.

Cydia App For Screen Brightness Adjustment

Cydia Utility For Screen Brightness Adjustment:

For those who use Cydia as a perfect utility for iDevices there is a cool Cydia app for the brightness setting of your device. Generally we all put device's brightness setting on certain level and never change it. But as the day changes; so does the external light. And your device might not look as decent and appealing in night as it would look in the day. If you feel if there was a Cydia app which will automatically change your device's brightness depending upon the sunset and sunlight (based demographics or personal preferences).

That Cydia app is already out and is called as f.lux (don't know how would I pronounce it with a DOT between). This is a cool Cydia app which dims your light at the night-time; so that your eyes are not bombarded with bright light rays. In fact the same utility is available for Windows, Mac and Linux as well. Links for these platforms are available here. This is a very cool utility as you can decrease the burden not only on your eyes; but also your device's battery. Because it dims or halogens the light at the night-time when you need the least light to read your device's screen.

Install F.lux on Your iDevice:

- Let's assume you have a jail-broken device. (If not, you should jailbreak your device first).

- Tap the Cydia icon on your device to open it.

- Now search for "f.lux" on Cydia.

- You should have the search result for same text, click on install to get it on your iDevice.

- This will be it. You can adjust your desired f.lux preferences by going in the setting menu for f.lux. It can automatically detect your location if the location services are enabled. You can also feed manual location for better customization; though in-built location thing is very good.

How to Uninstall F.lux:

The last thing you would like to do is uninstall this great Cydia app. But if you feel you don't want to have this cool app you can uninstall it easily. Go to Cydia and tap on Manage. Tap Packages and find F.lux there. You will see a modify button in the top right corner of your iDevice. Tap Remove to uninstall F.lux.
