How to Make the Current Time your Pass Code in iOS 7 (Video)

Unless this tweak gets extremely popular with mass media coverage, very few people will expect it. It’s a great way to keep your phone secure, and prevents prying eyes to figure out your pass code. However, it does rely a little on the fact that people won’t figure out that you’re using the time as a passcode, so it’s not 100% fool proof, but it’s close. Check out the instructions and video to use the time as your pass code. I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our Jailbreak

How to Make Chrome the Default Browser in iOS 7 (Video)

Sometimes, what Apple tells us to use on iPhones and iPads is not what we want to use. I’m referring directly to the fact that we can’t set Chrome as the default web browser on iOS 7, which forces us to open links in Safari. This is a problem if you don’t like Safari or use Chrome on other devices and like to sync your web browsing between them. Open In Chrome is a tweak that fixes just that, allowing us to open links in Chrome by default. It shuns Safari to that Apple folder where you put all the

How to Add an App Launcher to the Lock Screen in iOS 7 (Video)

There are several reason why iPhones are so popular, and one of those reason is iOS. In many ways, iOS 7 was a great overhaul, but it’s still as rigid as ever when it comes to customizing. JellyLock7 is a great tweak that adds an app launcher on the lock screen, and lets you launch apps upon unlocking with swiping gestures. To those of us who are familiar with “the other OS,” Android, you might notice a similarity in the lock screen. Check out how to install and use JellyLock7 in the video and instructions below! I.

How to Add Gesture Controls to Music in iOS 7 (Video)

If intuitive and effective enough, gesture controls can be better than old fashioned button tapping. There’s nothing wrong with taps, but gestures are a fresh and different way to control devices. Gesture Music Controls is a tweak that lets you control your music with gestures, and it works very well for $0.99 in Cydia. Follow the instructions and check out the video to become a swiper rather than a tapper. I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad To do this procedure you must be jailbroken.

How to Close All Safari Tabs at Once in iOS 7 (Video)

Safari tabs tend to pile up which can awaken the dormant OCD in all of us. When I have more than four Safari tabs, I usually open the tab drawer, and tap the X on each tab to close them. However, more often than not, I’ll open the tab I’m trying to close by mistake because the X is so small, which means going back to the tab drawer and trying all over again. Do that often enough and you’ll know how frustrating that can get. Thankfully, CloseAll is a tweak that makes it extremely easy to close all Safari
