One of the features on the iPhone that keeps you from being disturbed is Do Not Disturb. It prevents calls, messages, and notifications from reaching you while you’re busy at your work or you’re sleeping even. Apparently, Apple forgot to put a timer so that this mode only remains activated for a certain period of time. So that when you get back home, the do not disturb functionality gets deactivated and you start getting your regular notifications like before. Enter DisturbMeLater, a Cydia tweak, that allows you to set a time limit for do not disturb on your iPhone. Using this […]

Apple’s iOS has a lot of restrictions and there is a lot more you can do once you jailbreak your iPhone. One of these restrictions is the type of files you can share with other devices over Bluetooth. Only certain kind of files can be sent from your iPhone to other devices over Bluetooth. And the case may be you want to share a file that isn’t one of these supported types. So how can you make the transfer possible? If you’re jailbroken, there’s a solution. Meet AirBlue Sharing, one of the Cydia tweaks for iPhone, that allows you to send any

Unlike Android devices, the iPhone’s lock screen doesn’t have any useful things that can help you be more productive, or help you do any tasks in general. It’s just a layer that prevents unauthorized users from accessing your device, and that’s all. Do you wish if there was an option to add some apps to the lock screen so you can launch them faster than going to the Springboard and finding the app and launching it? Well, thanks to a jailbreak tweak developer, your wish has been fulfilled. Here comes AppBox, a Cydia tweak, that allows you to add your

Do you always feel like you’ll miss the alarm that you’ve set on your iPhone and you’ll get to your office late only to be told off by your boss? You’re not alone. Setting-up multiple alarms could be a solution, though, but is it worth going through the hassle of doing all of that one by one? You’ve got an easy solution. Say Hi to Clone Alarm, a Cydia tweak, that allows you to clone your alarms and have multiple alarms created using your default alarm as the base. With set intervals, your alarm will only ring when you want it

AirDrop on your iPhone allows you to share files that are available on your device with other compatible AirDrop devices. While the feature is extremely useful for those who constantly exchange files with their iDevices, there are some limitations as to what type of files you can share. It doesn’t support all the file types, thus chances are you’ll be stuck when you want to share a file that is not one of the AirDrop supported file types (like music, for example). Here comes a Cydia tweak that lets you break these restrictions and share whatever type of files you want. This

You know what all of these Cydia tweaks are for? They’re to fill-in the gaps that Apple has put on its devices. Today, we’re talking about the actual gap that you see when you double-press the Home button on your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. The actual screen falls down and creates a gap on the top to bring everything on the screen closer to your hand (but that gap doesn’t actually contain anything useful that you can do). To make good use of that space, or reachability view, you can place some widgets there. So that when you feel

UPDATED 01.18.15 – Works for iOS 8.1.2 and updated the URL for the english version of Taig. Lately the Chinese have been on a roll with jailbreaks. First Pangu for jailbreaking iOS 8 and iOS 8.1, and now another Chinese developer team called TaiG has a new jailbreak for iOS 8.1.2 (and iOS 8.2 Beta). As with the Pangu and most jailbreaking tools, it’s fairly simple to do. Plug in the iPhone, turn off some settings, and click a button. Viola! Jailbroken, Cydia installed, and you’re good to go. It is important to note, however, that this is another early

The Chinese developer team called Pangu has struck again. The team that originally jailbroke iOS 7.1 has just released their tool to jailbreak iOS 8.1. In a similar fashion to their old toolkit, you just need to download it, plug in your iPhone/iPad, and then click the jailbreak button and viola! Jailbroken. Now, in a slightly less similar fashion to their old toolkit, though, you’ll need to manually install Cydia after (but it’s not hard, don’t worry). Some caveats before we begin. Make sure you have backed up your device in iTunes (and maybe even backup all your photos, too) before

Oh, gifs. What would the internet be without you? Showing us how someone epic-ly failed over and over, or how a squirrel has better acting chops than the entire cast of certain movies; they’re just an inherent part of the web like social networks and cats. So when you download one for offline entertainment on your iPhone and it doesn’t move when you view it? It can be a sad affair. Luckily, the GifViewer tweak available on the Cydia store can solve this crucial dilemma for you with a quick install and no settings needed to adjust. Just download and

With iOS 8 just around the corner, maybe you’re feeling like iOS is just slipping away from you. The new flat and transparent styling is just too new age for you and you miss the good old days of gradients and layers. Well, if you’re jailbroken, there are still a few ways for you to get back to that former look you miss so much. From iOS 6 inspired themes for Winterboard to iOS 6 notification icon badges, there’s plenty of ways to at least get the look of iOS 6 back. Some of those tweaks, however, might leave the

Do you grave a bit of the old school style of iOS 6? Want to see how many notifications you have on each app icon in a less flat sort of way? Well then, you are in luck. Thanks to a jailbreak tweak developer, you can actually get those notifications back quite easily. This tweak, in conjunction with Winterboard, allows you to finish off that iOS 6 look that you were perhaps going for with a custom theme. Best of all, it’s free. Here’s how to install it: I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad 1. To do this procedure you must be

Thanks to this handy, free jailbreak tweak from the Cydia store, you can add some fun swiping effects to your message threads. Swipe between each thread and have a message preview popup as well as other little tweaks. Check it out: I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad 1. To do this procedure you must be jailbroken. If you aren’t, you can head to our How to Jailbreak iOS 7.1.2 (the latest version at the time of writing this). Once done with that procedure and you have Cydia installed, head back here to continue. II. Install MessageSwiper7 1. Open Cydia. 2. Tap Search in the bottom right corner.

If you get annoyed by the ads and limited number of skips you can use while listening to your favorite stations in iTunes Radio, I feel your pain. Sometimes you don’t want to listen to an entire Adele song and shouldn’t be forced to under any circumstances. Luckily though a jailbreak tweak developer has come to the rescue. Simple download his tweak called iTunes Radio Unlimited, open iTunes Radio, and begin skipping along happily. It evens removes some of the ads as a bonus. Take a look below for how to install it and see it in action. I. Jailbreak

If you’ve ever wished there was a simpler way to reboot, respring, or boot into safe mode on your iPhone running iOS 7, then you’re in luck (oddly enough). A jailbreak tweak called PowerDown, free in the Cydia store, allows you to simply install it and then immediately have such options in the same place that you would find power off –by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Simple solution to a problem you might not have known you had? Sure. Worth the price of free to have it? Sure. Here’s how to install it and what

Custom keyboards may be coming in iOS 8, but for those of us without time machines, jailbreak tweaks come to the rescue. This one in particular called AltKeyboard and costing $2.99 from the Cydia store, allows you to use flicking to make typing faster. You can flick up to get alternate keys (hence the name I’d assume) and down to get capital letters (reducing the need for the shift key). In addition to this flicking fun, you can also swipe from the sides to move the cursor, swipe on enter to dismiss an autosuggestion, swipe on the shift key to
