If you’re in the market for a large phone (can we even call it that at this size? what’s the criteria for a phone versus tablet anyway?), then you’ve probably checked out one of these two contenders recently; the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the LG G Flex. Both have […]
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
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
Most Android devices, nowadays, come with, what we call, bloatware. You’ve seen it. All of the apps and services that seem to magically be on your phone the minute you take it out of the box, but you never really wanted? Yeah, that’s the stuff. The bloatware is installed by
Safari tabs tend to pile up which can awaken the dormant OCD in all of us. When I have more than four Safari tabs, I usually open the tab drawer, and tap the X on each tab to close them. However, more often than not, I’ll open the tab I’m
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
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
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
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
I found myself with a T-Mobile iPhone 5S and since I use an AT&T SIM card a lot nowadays (and didn’t want to buy another iPhone), I figured it was time to unlock it (we can talk about how ridiculous it is that we lock phones to carriers some other
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 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
There’s been a lot of mixed reviews about Nokia’s announcement of their Nokia X lineup, a series of budget friendly devices all running Android. Like a lot of those writers, I, too, have some mixed feelings about it. Regardless of how I feel about it, I think there is some
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
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
