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/

iOS 7 JailBreak Is Out (But...Be Careful)

iOS 7 Jailbreak Is Out

For Cydia loving people who have been on iOS 7; no Xmas gift is better than iOS 7 jailbreak. And news are flowing that iOS 7 jailbreak is out out. News came out within last 24 hours that Eavsi0n jailbreak is out now which is released by Evad3rs group. This jailbreak is reported to work on any device using iOS 7.0 to 7.0.4; including iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPad Air and iPad Mini.

(As Seen on Evasi0n Webpage)

If we look at Evasi0n's homepage (like image above) they are claiming to provide unethered jailbreaking for all devices. And this jailbreak can be done via Windows; as well as Max Operating System. And this will be a free iOS 7 jailbreak from this group. There are some notes and warnings as well; which can be seen on their webpage. If you intend to jailbreak now; you can always evaluate risk factor by going through those points.

So Why shall you wait?

Now if a unethered iOS 7 jailbreak is out; why shall you wait for it? Well; there are reports that this jailbreak carries a very high risk of a Chinese malware which can harm you big time. Being a Cydia users most people know that the default AppStore for a jailbroken device is CYDIA; but for this particular device it is a Chinese AppStore TaiG. Now; as the authenticity of this new AppStore is not verified; jailbreaking and getting it on your device remains a dangerous decision. There is a lot of discussion going on Twitter and other SNS. For instance you can see Cydia developer Saurik's Twitter Profile.

So, the best way is to wait for some time. Let proper reviews come out for this jailbreak. We have been waiting for almost few months now for iOS 7jailbreak And there is absolutely no harm in waiting for few more days. 

iOS 7 Theme on iOS 6 and iOS 5

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. We have already listed advantages and disadvantages of jailbreaking; and now you know that the choice could be either way. 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. Apple has brought a lot of changes and in fact some Cydia tweak adapted by Apple in iOS 7 made it really great looking iOS 7 theme.

And if you are on iOS 6 or lesser you might have to wait for Cydia update for iOS 7; or there is an alternate way. Which is getting all those cool iOS 7 features in your iOS 6 device by few tweaks and apps. So if you chose to go for plan B here is the list of tweaks you should get.

Things Needed To Have iOS 7 Theme:

1) iOS 7 Lock Screen:
Unlock7 is the name of the tweak which brings iOS 7 unlock interface on your iOS 6 and old devices. This tweak is free on BigBoss as well as ModiMyi repo. With this tweak you get liberty of swiping anywhere to unlock and have larger wallpaper size as well for the lock screen.

2) iOS 7 Theme:
This is useful to change the looks of your iPhone icons and folder. This can be done by installing a tweak called iOS 7 theme. Make sure you install one from pw5a29; as there are a couple of tweaks with the same name. This theme will take care of all the icon and glossy effect on the dashboards. This will also take care of settings menu changes for your device.

3) iOS 7 Font:
It is hard for a person using iOS 6 to tell difference between iOS 6 and iOS 7 fonts. But when you actually use it; you can make it out easily. After you install iOS 7 font tweak there will be an app icon on your device. Make sure iOS 7 is selected when you open that app.

4) iOS 7 Auxo Theme:
This is to have transparent app switcher effect on your jailbroken device. This is a must part of iOS theme and you should have this in your tweaks to have full iOS effects on your phone.

5) iOS 7 Calculator Theme:
This tweak is intended to have same calculating effect on your iOS 6; compared to iOS 7. Though there are a couple of minor changes in this tweak in comparison to original iOS 7 (i.e. addition of mc, m-, m+ and mr button which are missing in original iOS thing).

6) Live Wallpapers: 
For the purpose of having live wallpapers on your iPhone using iOS 6 and less you can go for vWallpaper. As iOS 7 theme is equipped with a live wallpaper setting better you have one in your basket too.

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.

5) DeepEnd inspired Parallax

Did you see the cool 3D effect on your iPhone homepage when you move it in your hands; do the app icons seems to provide a 3D effect as the icons seem to dug in the wallpaper. This is because new iOS have an effect called Parallax. Apple seems to have got inspiration from the DeepEnd and other Cydia tweaks which gave awesome 3D looks to the icons.

Let's hope Apple and the Cydia developers have this healthy competition for long-term. So, we can have more and more cool stuff on our iPhone in future. Let's keep fingers crossed for more Cydia tweaks and apps and Apple's counter attack on them.
