Velox is now available and, although it may be somewhat buggy at the moment, it brings home screen functionality to iOS that we haven’t yet seen in jailbreak software. Essentially, it allows you to perform certain common app actions directly on the home screen, and each app has its own unique implementation. Sadly, besides a few exceptions, the only apps supported out of the box are the default iOS apps. (more…)
If you’ve been following us here at iFans, you know that the Piano Passcode tweak is now available and being used by the masses. It’s probably aimed at those who are musically inclined, but that doesn’t mean any old Joe can’t use it! If you just simply don’t have the patience to peck out some of your favorite tunes, we’ve got you covered. (more…)
Ever since the iOS 6 untethered jailbreak was released three months ago, the jailbreaking community has released arguably the greatest tweaks and themes we’ve seen to date. Cydia now has several great offerings that make jailbreaking your iOS device all that more enticing, and we’ve got a roundup of some of the best jailbreak tweaks for iPod touch 5th gen ahead. As you would expect, these tweaks are cross-compatible with the iPhone 5. (more…)
Along with FullScroll and Grabby, Ryan Petrich’s Do Not Disturb enhancing tweak Luna is now available on Cydia. In short, the tweak’s main feature is to allow its users to enable Do Not Disturb by making a swipe-down gesture from the lockscreen or Notification Center. For the full run down, check out Joe’s post from Friday.
Sadly, Petrich decided to make the tweak $2 like many of his other offerings. That said, if any tweak developer deserves a couple of bucks, it’s him. Head over to the BigBoss repo on Cydia to grab it.
Today seems to be Ryan Petrich day on Cydia as he apparently pushed Luna, FullScroll, and Grabby to BigBoss for widespread availability. We told you about Luna on Friday and you heard about Grabby earlier this month, but what about FullScroll? What does this mystical tweak do? (more…)
Velox, arguably one of the best jailbreak tweaks, is now available on Cydia for $1.99. This gallery shows what the tweak looks like on iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1. Post your own screenshots in the comments section.
The hotly-anticipated jailbreak tweak Velox is now available on Cydia, in the BigBoss repository, for $1.99. Velox adds context menus to native apps and certain third-party apps, greatly expanding the functionality of the home screen. Make sure to read our hands-on look at the tweak for further details.
The jailbreaking community has already discovered a few bugs here and there, but the developers of the tweak promise that updates will be made to resolve these issues. Nevertheless, this tweak is one of the best we’ve ever seen. If you grab a copy of Velox, let us know how it performs for you.

Well-known jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich, the curator of Activator and several other popular tweaks, has collaborated with graphic designer Sentry on an upcoming jailbreak tweak called Luna.
The tweak will enhance the functionality of the Do Not Disturb mode on iOS devices, by allowing users to enable the feature by making a simple swipe-down gesture from the lock screen or Notification Center.
Luna will also change the way that notifications are displayed when Do Not Disturb is enabled. To get a better idea of how the tweak will work, watch the two concept videos ahead. The tweak should appear on Cydia in the near future, and we’ll let you know when it drops. (more…)
After several months of anticipation, Jaku for iPad has been soft launched on Cydia. This new WinterBoard theme, the work of Canadian graphic designer William Szilveszter, is inspired by the extremely popular original Jaku theme for iPhone. With a pixel-perfect icon set and other meticulously-crafted iOS elements, including the dock and notification badges, Jaku for iPad customizes nearly every aspect of the user interface.
“With the release of the new Jaku for the Retina iPad, I wanted to touch base with everyone that is flying it on their iPad,” said Szilveszter. “Firstly, thanks for the immense support. I know a ton of you have been waiting for this day and have stuck with me for over a year (flying the original Jaku for the Retina iPhone). You guys made all this possible.”
It’s important to note, however, that Jaku for iPad isn’t nearly as fleshed out as its iPhone counterpart yet. The theme doesn’t skin the lock screen, and there are custom icons missing for a number of popular apps. Nevertheless, Szilveszter is fully committed to his product — as he was with Jaku for iPhone — and will be working hard to release updates with additional icons. If you have a particular icon that you would like to request, please post its Bundle ID and icon file name in the comments section. (more…)
MIUI is one of the most popular custom ROMs available for Android, redefining the look of the platform with an original user interface and improvements to over 200 software features. And while the iPhone is obviously incompatible with the software, several graphic designers have been working on porting the design of MIUI into an iOS theme. Last month it was Minimal MIUI, and now it’s iMIUI.
iMIUI is a MIUI V5 port on deviantART that promises to be better than the original concept on Android, or so its maker onehalfkiller claims. The theme remains a work-in-progress thus far, with the lock screen, clock widget, custom icons and Compass app redesign completed. All that remains is some work on the Phone dialer, and then iMIUI should appear on Cydia. We’ll let you know when it’s available. A video demo of MIUI V5 follows. (more…)
