How to Make Your Lockscreen/Control Center More Functional in iOS 7 (Video)

IntelliscreenX is a tweak that was very popular for iOS 6 and a lot of people have been patiently awaiting its arrival on iOS 7. That day has come. The tweak that allows you to replace your lockscreen and you control center with a more function option that has feeds from your different social networks, email or RSS, has come to iOS 7. In addition to adding some ticker-like features it also comes with a […]

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

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

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

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

How to Delay Requiring of Fingerprint to Unlock iOS 7 (Video)

For some, dumb reason, Apple allows you to delay the need for a passcode after the device’s screen locks, but the minute you enable Touch ID, you are forced to use your fingerprint immediately to enter the device. Why?! Regardless of their reasoning (and thanks to the amazingness that is jailbreaking) you don’t need to know why. Just fix it. Here’s how using a jailbreak tweak called Mesalation. I. Jailbreak your iPhone/iPad To do this

How to Queue Songs for Listening from Control Center in iOS 7 (Video)

This tweak is a quick and dirty one. Pluck 2 allows you to add a small button to your Control Center and/or lock screen that allows you to tap it and add songs from your device’s library to a now playing queue. Handy for people on the move that might need to quickly listen to something just as the mood strikes them or else they forget (A.D.D. much?). And for $0.99, it’s not a bad

How to Use the Accelerometer & Proximity Sensors to Control Sleep Mode iOS 7 (Video)

We have to admit that the Moto X has some cool sensor-enabled features. It can put itself to sleep when laid down, wake itself back up, detect when in a pocket, etc. Thanks to a jailbreak tweak called FaceOff, you don’t have to let the sting of jealous stab you in the leg. The developer has found a way to utilize the iPhone’s proximity sensor and accelerometer to determine different states the device might be

How to Launch Different Apps Using Specific Fingerprints on the iPhone 5S (Video)

There have been a lot of jailbreak tweaks that focus on expanding the use of Touch ID (since Apple seams reluctant to do so) and this one is no exception. Touchy, from the maker of Fancy (the neat coloring tweak), allows you to assign each of your fingers to opening a different app. It’s easy to setup and works pretty well (unlike some I’ve seen whose sensitivity is a bit questionable). Here’s how to set

How to Tweet More than 140 Characters in iOS 7 (Video)

Sometimes 140 characters just doesn’t cut it. People have long used services like Twitlonger to allow them to post longer than 140 character tweets that are then shortened and a link is displayed so people can click to see the rest of your, of course, super important update. Unfortunately, though, iOS has never really had an easy way of integrating this service seamlessly into Twitter clients available in the App Store. Until now, of course.

How to Add Color to iOS 7 (Video)

iOS 7 isn’t the most colorful UI on the market. In fact, it’s main “color” could be described as “see-through”. If that’s not quite your cup of tea, perhaps you’d like to splash a bit of other hues onto the UI to really make it your own? A tweak called Fancy describes itself as the “easiest way to add color to iOS” and, frankly, I’m entitled to agree. It’s slick UI (and remember this is

How to Add Animations to Notifications in iOS 7 (Video)

One of the best parts about jailbreaking is all the customization you can do. Let’s face it, in a world filled with iPhones that’s only differentiator is the color, some UI changes can really help you stand out and feel just a bit special (mom telling you just doesn’t quite cut it nowadays). We showed you Springtomize and how amazing it is at helping you get that fuzzy feeling, but what if you want to

How to Move Close Button in Safari to the Right in iOS 7 (Video)

If you are left handed and like to use Safari, this might be the tweak for you. Normally, in Safari, the close button is on the left side of the tabs when viewing all tabs and for a lefty, that just doesn’t seem fair. Using a simple tweak that’s free in the Cydia store, you can easily move that X button over to the right and make life that much easier for yourself. (Let’s face

How to Better Manage Screenshots in iOS 7 (Video)

If you take a lot of screenshots (maybe you don’t give a crap if the people Snapchatting you know that you’re saving their pics?), then it can be a little cumbersome to take them, go find them, then share them. With the jailbreak tweak called Clipshot you can have it automatically save the screenshot to different places, or even just have it prompt you automatically right after the screenshot is taken. Here’s how to install
