The four Best Updated Cydia Tweaks Suitable for IOS 8.3

Apple regularly updates its software, much to the annoyance of its users. It takes around 15 minutes to download, and you need most of your battery intact in order for it to complete. But Apple users' frustration is our gain. As Cydia fans, it means many of our favorite tweaks will be upgraded to include even more useful features we're sure to love.

Four of our favorite tweaks that are compatible with the newest updates have been included below. There's something for everyone, include social media tweaks and productivity ones.

#1: Vine++ 

Vine is a great app, especially if you like catching quick sports highlights or funny outtakes. But the regular Vine app does have some annoying aspects to it. Firstly, there's the loop. Some people love it, but for others, it turns them off of the social media site. Secondly, downloading vids is difficult if not impossible at times.

This free tweak puts an end to both of those problems. Vine++, which is free to download from repo BigBoss, allows you to download the Vines you want, and perhaps more importantly, turn off that annoying loop feature!

#2: CroppingScreen 

It's easy to take a screen print on an Apple device. But what happens if you only want to capture a small area? Unfortunately, you're screwed, and will have to download an editing tool in order to cut out the section you need. That's an annoyance, which is why CroppingScreen, another free tweak from the BigBoss repo, makes our list of favorite IOS 8.3 tweaks.

You use this tweak in the same way you would a screenshot, only now, you can use your finger to select the desired area. This is perfect for capturing codes, passwords, phone numbers or other important details.

#3: Segue 

The guys at Apple are meant to be creative geniuses. At least, that's what people say. But when selecting animation effects for your photos, it's hard to see where this genius reputation comes from. The best you'll find are a few boring animations, which really don't do much to liven up your pictures.

With Segue, you get a whole host of other animation options to enjoy. When browsing through your own pictures or sharing them with friends, you'll be able to show them off in a way that they deserve. You can enjoy flips, fade ins, ripples, and every other cool animation feature you'd expect on a $600 device. This is free to download, and just like the other two in our list so far can be found from the BigBoss repo.

#4: NoTracking 

As many apps now come with tracking features, we felt it was important to include this tweak on our list. These tracking features are somewhat creepy (who wants to be followed everywhere they go?) and are a total drain on battery life. Keep all your data personal, and preserve your battery life, by enjoying the benefits of NoTracking. This free to download updated tweak works by disabling apps from tracking you. Simple, yet insanely effective.

If you're somebody who values your privacy, this BigBoss tweak is definitely for you.

Conclusion 

So there are our four favorite tweaks which have been updated especially to suit the latest version of Apple software.

As always, we'll keep bringing you the very best tweaks which will keep you safe, keep you productive, and make your life easier. We test each tweak before reviewing it, so you can be sure the four above have our personal recommendation. Let us know what you think in the comment section below, and tell us if you've found a tweak you'd recommend to others.

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. 

WallCycler - Cydia Tweak For Wallpaper

Change Wallpaper Every Time You Unlock Your iPhone

Are you kind of person who wants to see new things all the time. Then this is the tweak for you. This is my all time favourite Cydia tweak for wallpaper. The tweak is called as WallCycler and it does a simple yet good adjustement to your iPhone/iPad wallpaper. If this tweak is enabled; every time you unlock your device you get a different wallpeper. And you can also manually change it by using activator gesture.

This tweak is available on Ryan's beta repo. And you can find it here: http://rpetri.ch/repo/

How it works?

This tweak does not have a preference panel. You can go to Settings>Wallpaper & Brightness>Choose Wallpaper and select the album of your choice. Once you do this; a pop-up box will appear asking you if you want to cycle the images from this album.  And next time you unlock your device the wallpaper will be cycled to next image from the album. If you want manual control over wallpapers; you can assign activator gesture to a cycle-wallpaper changer; which should force the background and prompt it to change command.

What do you say?

Try WallCycler and let us know whether this Cydia tweak for wallpaper is worth a try or not. I certainly liked it being simple, easy to use and changing the wallpaper every time after unlocking. Big kudos to the fresh look every time you unlock your device.

Top 10 Cydia Tweaks For iOS 7

Cydia Tweaks For iOS 7

With iOS 7 coming out Cydia developers have been putting their head down to develop more and more tweaks and apps. And there are so many tweaks already out for iOS 7 now. In this article we have listed 10 such tweaks which are worth downloading on your device. (these tweaks are not in any specific order)

1) Sicarius:

With new App switcher in iOS 7; there was a need of Cydia tweak for it. Sicarius does exactly the same. You can have 3D effect while closing the running app. There is option to close all apps with a single flick of your finger. You can select exceptions in Sicarius; so those apps will not be closed even when you flick. 

You can select to restart springboard with Sicarius; when you close the running apps. 

2) Activator:

Sicarius was something new; but Activator is old and updated for iOS 7. We already included it in our last list of best Cydia apps and tweaks. Activator allows you to set a trigger action with different shortcuts.

3) CCControls:

CCControls allows to control toggle options in control center. For instance you can display square icons instead of conventional rounds. CCControls allows you to select lock-screen restrictions as well; and apps listed in the restriction won't show when control center is opened while screen is locked. You can also select how many toggles you want to display on control center; one to six.

4) Zeppelin:

This is also updated for iOS 7; and not new tweak. Zeppelin allows you to replace your carried text with different logos like Nike, PacMan, Superman logo and all. For people who like to change the look of the device daily; Zeppelin is really a good option. (You can also select no carries with this Cydia tweak.)

5) Dockshift:

This is new tweak for iOS 7 which allows you to change the look of your dock. You can select different transparency levels of Milk Glass, Darl Glass and Blurred setting.

6) Glowdock:

This is also new Cydia tweak for iOS 7. This tweak gives your device's dock icons a glow effect. There is no setting option; but your device gets a professional look with this tweak.

7) Messages Customiser:

This is really good tweak to customize your SMS bubbles. You can change color, opacity and width of SMS bubble by Messages Customiser tweak. This tweak also allows you to disable message trailing. You can also view contact pictures in chat with this tweak. 

8) StatusModifier:

By using StatusModifier tweak you can see seconds in your iPhone clock. You can also enable free memory display just beside your clock. You have enable/disable button for seconds as well as free memory.

9) TransparentVolume:

One more thing I did not like in iOS 7 is the volume change display. When you are watching video and need to change volume; it kind of hides the background. TranparentVolume is solution for this. You can change the transparency in a way that it does not hinder your view.

10)  Bload:

This tweak changes the default white color of your keyboard to black. All the keyboard like Safari, SMS etc will show white keys on black background with the use of this tweak.
And this inverted keyboard really looks nice....!

That was very much about top 10 Cydia tweaks for iOS 7. Do comment me about your favorite iOS 7 tweaks as well so I can put it in the form of post so others can be benefited. Please share the post so your friends can benefit with these tweaks.

Speed Cydia Tweaks For iOS 7

 

Do you know why iPhone are so popular in comparison to other smartphone? I am sure 90% or more would say they loved the speed and changed to iPhone. And that is true because iPhone brought dynamics to so many conventional features of smartphones. Unfortunately when I changed to iOS 7 on my iPhone; I was annoyed with slowness. I observed that sometimes some games were not running properly on my iPhone. But now iOS 7 jailbreak is out; and that opened the gates of more and more Cydia tweaks for iOS 7. And in first iOS 7 Cydia post I would like to present 5 tweaks which can improve performance of your iPhone/iPad or iPod running on iOS 7.

1) Nitrous (To Boost Browsing Speed):

With the use of third party browsers like Chrome; is the speed. That is because Apple blocks them using such third party apps from the use of it Nitro Javascript Engine. But with the Nitrous installed on your device; any app using internet is allowed with this access. What else; this app is compatible with iOS 7 and can be downloaded from BigBosss repo for 0.99$.

 

2) FakeClockUp:

FakeClockUp is not officially launched for iOS 7 but it definitely works like a charm for iOS 7. And this Cydia tweak allows you to change the speed of the animation without losing that Apple Feeling. This has to be in your basket of Cydia tweaks for iOS; and it is free as well. You can get it from http://hitoriblog.com/apt repository.

 

3)HiddenSettings7:

As the name indicates; this Cydia tweak allows you to access inside setting of various functions of your device. Please do not mess up with anything which you are not sure of; though you have a reset default button in the tweak. Check out this video to see this tweak. You can use it to customize your device as per your needs; so minimize load and all.

 

4) NoSlowAnimations:

This is recently relased tweak and free of charge from BigBos repo. Once this tweak is installed on your device; it won't allow all the animations to start together. This way it will make sure your iOS works faster. 

 

5) iCleaner Pro:

 Any device's main speed breakers are Caches, temporary application files and cookies. But then; you can get them cleaned by iCleaner pro. This app has not releases iOS 7 version officially yet; but beta version works nicely with iOS 7. You can get iCleaner pro from this repository: exile90software.com/cydia/beta/

For a person using a jail-broken iPhone; iOS update is the worst thing to welcome. Because there exists a silent competition between jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices.

But one thing is sure that when there is a new iOS  update the non-jailbroken guys have the upper hand for some time. And same is the case with new iOS 7 update with coolest iOS 7 theme with it.

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. 

Get iOS7 Lock Screen on iOS 6 and Other iOS - Unlock7

The biggest misery for jailbreak users is when the iOS update is out and there are some unique features in it. As the Cydia update for the updated iOS is out at least after few days people just envy the non jailbroken phones. But the Cydia developers are so cool and they come out with a way to calm the eagerness and the excitement by providing with a cool Cydia tweak which supports those features which are so-called uniqueness of the new iOS update. One such feature in iOS 7 is the different look of the lock screen. The iOS lock screen is quiet elegant and nice looking and everyone would like to have it on their devices.

(You can swipe anywhere on screen left to righ to unlock the screen. I just love this photograph; it was taken by me only few years back. It is a white flower with rain drop rolling from it..!)

The looks of iOS 7 is not only the cool feature about it; it has more to offer as well.  On all previous iOS devices it was kind of mandatory to swipe on a particular place to unlock your phone. But in iOS 7 you can swipe anywhere on your device left to right to unlock your iPhone. That is really cool update and one more reason why people would love to have iOS 7 lock screen.

So How To Get iOS Lock Screen On iOS 6

It is relatively easier than it might sound. There is a cool Cydia tweak for it called as Unlock7. And it is a free from BigBoss and ModiMyi Repos. Get this tweak installed on your jailbroken device with iOS 6 or less and you should be able to take the full fun of iOS 7 lock screen.

This is the Video link to see how this tweak works.

And this tweak is called as VineDownloader. Just like YouTubeDownloader for YouTube videos; you can get the Vine videos on your iPhone or iPad using this Cydia tweak.

Pause the video before 6 seconds and three small dots will be there just below the video screen. Tap on them and you will have an option of saving that video. Once the save command is given; this video will be downloaded to your camera roll. It is very fast in downloading the videos; possibly because the video size is too small.

Android Lock System on iPhone

Apple made this revolutionary product iPhone and gave world new eyes towards the phone. But there are few things which needs to change on iPhone as they are too similar to the eldest versions of the iPhone. And one of the thing on that list is the SLIDE TO UNLOCK unlocking system. This is so boring for some of the users that they are removing the screen lock at all by removing it from settings menu. And for those who need some changes in it and made it look like android lock; there is a tweak called Android Lock.

This gives users the screen unlocking just like the pattern drawing system on the android phones. Of course this is in-built in almost all android smartphones; but for iPhone you need to install a Cydia source to get it. And you can use the same pattern based unlocking system on your iPhone. And what else could you ask for when this comes to your jailbroken iPhone for free... :)

How to install Android Lock on iPhone:

- Search for AndroidLock in Cydia. You should be able to locate it if you have installed BigBoss repo on your Cydia. (this source is installed as default on all jailbroken devices. If you somehow deleted it; you can look for it in "More Package Sources" in Cydia.

- Once it is installed you can add the unlocking pattern which you want to use. Please make sure you should at least use four dots in the pattern. 

- Now you can push the home button and lock your phone. Try unlocking and your phone should ask you for the pattern to unlock it. This is how you get pattern Android Lock on your jailbroken iPhone. 

Hope this article helped you on setting up the AndroidLock on your iPhone. Please bookmark us now for more and more Cydia apps, Cydia tweaks and Cydia tricks. Comment if you had any difficulty in getting the pattern lock on your iPhone.

How To Record Calls On iPhone

It has been waited for long and people just wanted to have call recording feature on their iPhone. It was asked on almost all iPhone forum and most of the technology forum, "How To Record Calls on iPhone?"

Apple never let any app enter in the App Store which will allow the users to do this on non jail-broken devices. And looking at the different regulation in different countries this move was more than welcome. But everyone does not use call recording for bad purposes; there are some nice intentions behind them as well. And for those people who are asking with nice intention there is a Cydia app which can allow you call recording on iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S. The older iPhone versions won't support this Cydia tweak. And iPhone 4S needs to be put on speaker mode to record the calls :(

So, how to record calls on iPhone by this tweak?

This iPhone tweak is developed by Elias Limneos; which is priced at 3.99$. You can follow the following steps to get this tweak on your device (only jail-broken iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 please).

- Tap Cydia store on your iPhone.

- Tap on Manage and then open sources. 

- Select edit and tap on add source.

- Type in this source in the url area: http://limneos.net/repo

- Add it on our iPhone.

- Now search for Call recorder in Cydia or just open the Limneos repo just added to your Cydia store.

The call receiver gets a voice alert that the call is being recorded when you use this tweak. You have choice of enabling or disabling the beep sound though. The voice alert is designed keeping in mind legislation in some countries where both the parties should be aware about call recording. 

Still the beauty of this call recording Cydia tweak is not lessened. Please use it for fair usage only. I hope this answers how to record calls on iPhone. See you again with one more Cydia tweak or app.

5 Cydia Tweaks Adapted By Apple in iOS7

Cydia Tweaks Shadowed By iOS7

Apple is known for its least love towards Cydia and hence brains at Apple try to make changes in iPhone so Cydia tweaks won't be same charming for users. And apple does this thing in each of their iOS update. They adapt the changes in the iPhone looks and functionality so the person does not have to jail-break their iPhone to get those effects which were provided Cydia tweaks and apps. And just because of this healthy competition iPhone users are getting double benefit.

Apple is taking serious note of some of the popular Cydia tweaks and implements them in their iOS updates. And same way they have brought some beautiful features in iOS7 too. Let's see what are those Cydia tweaks that can be shadowed by the new iPhone operating system.

1) Control Center and Multitasking Adapted From Auxo

This 1.99$ Cydia app was well appreciated as it gave new life to App switcher. And it has the same multitasking interface what is brought in iOS 7 now. Apple has brought in control center in iOS 7 which is very much similar to Auxo interface which brought popular stuff like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and music. Now as Apple has brought these features as in-built in iOS 7; people might not like to have Auxo for them.

2) Multitasking Inspired from Multifl0w and Backgrounder

Current multitasking interface in iOS 7 is very much inspired from the backgrounder Cydia tweak which gave the same interface with large app preview. I think the only difference was you needed to swipe the app down to close it; while iOS asks you to swipe it up. 

3) Current iOS Clock inspired by Clocikfy Cydia Tweak

Clockify tweak shows the real-time on the clock icon on your iPhone and iPad app dashboard. And as the daytime finishes and the night starts the clock turns from white to black in clockify.

Apple adapted one of the things from this Cydia app; which is showing the real-time in the clock icon. May be they will soon add white and black color swaps for day and night-time in next iOS updates. Now you can see the real-time on clock icon in iPhone.

4) App Store inspired by Auto App Updater

How many times you hated it when you had a couple of updates waiting in App store. Now Apple has made it easy for you; you can select update all and all the apps will be updated one by one. See the preview of new App Store below.

This is something which was present in Auto App Updater. And this Cydia tweak will be overshadowed by this new App store interface in iOS 7.
