Back Button

How to Enable a Back Button for iOS 8 (JB Tweak) (Video)

If you’re coming from an Android device, the one thing that you’ll miss the most on an iPhone is the back button. There’s no way to go the previous app using a back button like you had one on your Android device. In order to go to the previous app, you’re required to double-press the Home button on your iPhone and then select the app you wish to continue working with. If you don’t like this way of iOS to switch between apps, you can use a Cydia tweak that lets you add a back button to your iPhone instead. Install […]

TypeStatus

How to See Who’s Typing in The Status Bar on Your iPhone (Video)

Admit it, we all become impatient when someone’s typing a message to us. Maybe it’s a message from someone you love or maybe it’s just someone you need a quick response from so you can finish making plans for the day. Either way, being impatient is obvious. If you have iMessage on your iPhone, you now have a Cydia tweak that lets you see who’s typing in the status bar on your iPhone instead of having to be looking at the messaging app already. Now, you no longer need to launch the app to see who’s going to message you as you can now

How to Add a Fifth Icon to the iPhone Dock (Video)

No matter the amount of functionality you get from your device, you always want more. Don’t worry, it’s not just you, we all do it. And one of the things that the Apple users – especially those with the larger screen sizes of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus – have always wanted is more icons for their dock. While you get to add four icons in the dock on an iPhone, for some users, that’s just not enough. Having apps in the dock makes them much easier and faster to access. Thankfully, you have a Cydia tweak that can help slightly, by adding

Jailbreaking Petition

Help Keep Jailbreaking Legal: Sign the Petition

It’s insane the amount of comments on here and my YouTube channel asking if (or straight up proclaiming) jailbreaking is illegal. Truth is, it isn’t. It was actually made legal by the FCC a few years ago so we can just stop that conversation right there. Or can we… Turns out the Copyright office will be holding a hearing on May 21st to discuss the legality of jailbreaking again. Jay Freeman, aka Saurik and creator of the Cydia store, will be in attendance to help explain why the practice should remain legal, but the rest of those interesting in keeping

Cydia

How to Use Cydia (Video)

The whole point of jailbreaking, if we’re honest, boils down to being able to get Cydia on your iPhone/iPad and the plethora of jailbreak tweaks contained within. The only thing is, that Cydia in itself can be a little intimidating and overwhelming to your first time jailbreakers. Opening it, you’re presented with a multitude of screens and very little indication of how to get started. Unlike the Apple App Store, what Cydia makes up for in the out of the box thinking functionality in its tweaks, it sort of lacks in the UI department. With that said, though, you can

UPDATE: It seems Apple has stopped signing the iOS 8.2 Beta 2 file which means that this tutorial will no longer work. Hope some of you got the jailbreak in before that happened!

Video: How to Set a Time Limit for Do Not Disturb on Your iPhone (Jailbreak Tweak)

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

Video: How to Send Any File via Bluetooth from Your iPhone (Jailbreak Tweak)

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

Video: How to Launch Apps from the Lock Screen on Your iPhone (Jailbreak Tweak)

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

Video: How to Share Unsupported Files via AirDrop from Your iPhone (Jailbreak Tweak)

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
