For those who haven’t yet had the privilege to test iOS 5 developers beta on their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and then jailbreak it, UISettings is among the first jailbreak tweaks developed exclusively for iOS 5. It is integrated inside the Notification Center as a widget and does what SBSettings does for iOS 4 and below. However, with iOS 5 beta 2 update, the tweak seems to have stopped working and it just won’t show up after installation from Cydia. The developer appers to have ignored the fact and hasn’t yet released an update to fix the issue. However, it seems you can easily get it working on beta 2 nonetheless.  Read more...

A brand new jailbreak tweak knows as WiFi Booster, has just hit the Cydia store which virtually boosts your iPhone’s WiFi signal. Well, to be more precise, the tweak actually makes a few changes to the Settings app allowing it to show all WiFi networks in range even those with the poorest signal. This is achieved by reducing the signal threshold at which WiFi hotspots are shown as “available” in the iOS Settings. WiFi Booster removes this threshold and thus shows us even the most far away WiFI networks, which frankly speaking, isn’t of much use.  Read more...

Comex, the same genius who brought us userland jailbreak tools like Spirit and JailbreakMe, is ready to release another one and this time, its gonna be a much faster jailbreak process. This upcoming jailbreak tool is called JailbreakMe 3.0 which will support all current iOS devices including the iPad 2. However, what’s really new about this tool is that unlike all the current jailbreak solutions, it does not use the stashing approach which included Filesystem reorganizing by Cydia and a reboot. Rather it incorporates “Unionfs” meaning the jailbreaking process will be a lot faster than any tool previously used till date.  Read more...

We’ve showed you a bunch of Notification Center customizations & widgets currently in the works including a Twitter integration widget and an SBSettings alternative i.e UISettings which also happens to be the first iOS 5 Notification Center tweak to hit the jailbreak scene. Although UISettings is a fantastic tweak and a much appreciated one, the design fails to impress the most of us. Luckily, another developer and designer has come up with a better looking alternate theme for the tweak called UISettings HD. The image below should give you a good idea!  Read more...
