10 Must Have Cydia Tweaks For iPhone

-

top cyida jailbreak apps on 2011

Yesterday I wrote about how J’echielue, my so called “friend”, wickedly convinced me to jailbreak my iPhone by using the dirtiest trick of showing off with some cool Cydia tweaks.

It has been around 33 hours since (not that I’m counting or something), and I’m still trying to figure out whether I did the right thing or not.

Meantime, J’echielue, continues his raging journey to tweak every piece of iOS functionality, and he came up with 10 must have Cydia apps that will tweak your iPhone and allow you to customize it end to end.

I must admit I already tried some of those tweaks – they are quite amazing.

10. Dashboard X:

     Last but definitely not least, this one allows placing notification center widgets on the springboard (it’s really new and has tons of potential)

That’s it for today’s list – thanks J’echielue for sending those tips – it’s definitely a keeper.

For the iPhone newbies – here’s a more conservative list of tips to enhance your iPhone experience without jailbreaking it.

Many of these are iOS 3.01 supported tweaks. Is it working in iOS 5.0.

In an attempt to better understand the smartwatch market I’ve collected the names (and details) of the different operating systems used by today’s (and tomorrow’s) smartwatches. I’m happy to share with your the definitely incomplete list of wearable operating systems! Smartwatch Operating System – A Fragmented WorldAndroid WearProbably the OS with the fastest progress, Android Wear was recently reported to account for just 15% of smartwatch sales in 2014 (total of 700,000 devices). That’s not much, mainly because the platform was only introduced in the middle of the year and still suffers from serious limitations and battery life challenges. Android Wear OS is designed to be paired with Android smartphones (version 4.3 and on), but there are already rumors that an iOS app will be available soon. Android Wear is available most…

What's the meaning of "i" in iPhone, iPad?

Recently I've been thinking about the "I" meaning in all of Apple's products: iPod, iPad, iPhone… what's the "i" for? Internet? Nowadays it's not that cool any longer, isn't it? Internet is a given. Is it "i" like "me"? I looked for an answer and found it in an interesting article that included the following:"It was early 1997 and Steven P. Jobs had just recently returned to Apple as Interim Chief Executive Officer (At first he was just there to help and publicly stated that he did not want the full-time job at the time). Apple was about 6 months from full insolvency and company morale was at an all time low. There were warring factions and fiefdoms pitting any number of internal groups against each other, with each assigning blame for Apple’s slow demise. Steve Jobs spent his first few months cutting irrelevant products. He felt that there were two very important products to focus on: The Mac Product Line and The PowerB…
