How to Customize Your Lock Screen with CustomLS Jailbreak Tweak

Although there have been several jailbreak tweaks that allow you to modify your iOS 7 lock screen, developer Dylan Kelly has delivered the most comprehensive one to date. CustomLS lets you hide the various items found on the lock screen and change the "slide to unlock" text. You can download this jailbreak tweak for free from Cydia's BigBoss repository.

Once you've installed customLS, head to Settings->customLS. You'll see a bunch of toggles, so start toggling. The toggles let you hide the items on your lock screen. You can hide both the Notification Center and Control Center grabbers (the little horizontal bars at the top and bottom of the LS). You can hide the camera icon and the clock. If you disable the clock but still want to be able to see the time, you can enable time in the status bar. You can also disable the slide to unlock slider. If you have hidden the NC, CC or slide to unlock, the functionality is still there, you just can't see them. This is not the case for the camera grabber however.

Another nice feature of customLS is the ability to change the "Slide to Unlock" text, as well as the "legal text", which is the smaller text beneath the slide to unlock text ("Please" in the picture above). To customize either of these, simply enable the text you want to change and enter your own text. You'll have to respring for these changes to take effect.

CustomLS requires iOS 7 or better and it is not currently fully compatible with the iPad.

iOS 7 Jailbreak Update: Cydia for iOS 7 Nearing Completion & Team Evad3rs Certify iOS 7.0.4 as Jailbreak Safe

As the wait for the Evasi0n iOS 7 jailbreak could extend way into early 2014, another welcome development for jailbreakers emerged - that the work on Cydia for iOS 7 is approaching the final stage of completion.

View Full Image

iOS 7 Jailbreak: iH8sn0w and MuscleNerd Confirm iOS 7.0.4 Safe for Future Jailbreaks

The whiff of fresh air was courtesy of Redmond Pie, which reported that the all-important companion tool for iOS jailbreaks - used by jailbroken iPhones and iPads to search for and install applications - is coming out soon.

The timetable given is about the same time that iOS 7 jailbreak is expected to filter out. For the jailbreaking community, Team Evad3r should push out its opus shortly after Apple is done with its official iOS 7.1 update.

That would be anytime between end of January and middle of February 2014. The likelihood is, the Cydia build for iOS 7 will be all set for distribution at around the same time.

Redmond Pie has published a number of screen shots that suggest how Cydia's interface on iOS 7 will be rendered (viewable here) but Cydia creator Jay Freeman was quick to stress that nothing is final in the look department.

The Evad3r member also addressed concerns that iOS 7 patches coming from Apple could render devices locked out of future jailbreaks. In theory, iH8Snow said that any updates from Apple should be regarded as unsafe as they are fired off to close down iOS vulnerabilities, thus keeping out any jailbreak attempts.

Yet for iOS 7.0.4, which is Apple's fourth correction instalment for its new mobile platform, iH8Snow has asserted that jailbreakers can rest their worries. The latest iOS 7 official patch is jailbreak safe. So those who wish to get the upgrade and jailbreak later once the Evasi0n iOS 7 is out can totally take the plunge.

But it is a different case for the Beta iOS 7.1. As expected, Apple will seed series of betas to developers before the final iOS 7.1 will be out. So to save time and effort, jailbreakers are warned to stay from these incremental Apple servings.

For the time being, some jailbreakers who got stuck with iOS 7, can now dial back to iOS 6 thanks to downgrade kit that went live in October. But this solution is limited only for A4-series iOS devices, Redmond Pie said.

For the great majority, the next best reprieve is scheduled to unwrap within the 2013 holiday season as confirmed by iH8Snow and Winocm. The duo declared earlier that their Christmas gift for the jailbreaking community - iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 - will certainly land in a matter of weeks

How to Monitor App Data Usage in iOS 7 and Disable Data-Hungry Apps from Sucking Up Your Money

How to Monitor App Data Usage in iOS 7 and Disable Data-Hungry Apps from Sucking Up Your Money

With the majority of smartphone carriers no longer offering unlimited data plans for the iPhone, monitoring how much mobile data you use is a key element to saving money on your phone bill.

Android has been integrating data monitoring into its OS for quite a while now, and with the new iOS 7, Apple is finally on board.

Cellular Data Usage
With this new feature, embedded right in the settings, you can watch how much data your applications are using. Not only that, but you can disable data usage for an individual app in case it's sucking up too much of that precious data.

To monitor your iPhone's data usage, head over to:

Settings -> Cellular and scroll down to Use Cellular Data For:.

From there, you should see all your downloaded applications (as well as stock apps) and how much cellular data each app has used.



You can also check the data for things like Siri, your home screen, and other features that eat up data by tapping on System Services at the bottom of the application list.

The statistics that show up under each app is the amount of data the app has used since the iOS 7 update. If you want to monitor it monthly (as you probably should), reset the statistics at every pay cycle.



With this new feature, you should be able to successfully monitor which app is sucking up the most unnecessary data and costing you money. This way, you can get rid of or block those apps and replace them with "healthier" alternatives.

There's a lot to learn about the new iOS 7 for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, so make sure to visit our iOS 7 tips section to explore all of the new features and hidden tricks.

Evad3rs iOS 7 Jailbreak / Download and Release Date: Devs 'Still Working Hard' Ahead of Possible Feb.

Evad3rs iOS 7 Jailbreak / Download and Release Date: Devs 'Still Working Hard' Ahead of Possible Feb.

There is still no word about an iOS 7 jailbreak happening anytime soon, but the Evad3rs posted a tweet last week saying that they are "still working hard on the iOS jailbreak."

The Evad3rs remain the most trusted jailbreak developers around but people are getting more anxious for another jailbreak release. With every iPhone release or operating system release by Apple comes an uphill battle for developers to figure out a way to get past the company's security features in order to crack the jailbreak code.
The Evad3rs are also facing pressure to come through with a jailbreak release that is consistent with the new iPads that are being released by Apple.

It is unclear whether the jailbreak developers have moved their efforts abroad; after the Evad3rs left the country to attend meetings on iOS hacking, another member of the group indicated in a tweet that she was not in the United States but rather in Phuket, which is a city in Thailand. Just days before that, she said in a tweet that she was in Bangkok.
Although the jailbreaking process has taken quite awhile, the developers urged people early on to remain patient throughout. The Evad3rs said weeks ago that they were getting close to solving the jailbreak but did not want to announce any release dates in case something were to go wrong.
There were false reports of a jailbreak earlier this fall but people almost immediately dismissed it in favor of waiting for the Evad3rs to complete their jailbreak.

Apple is said to be Developing new Sensors and curved iPhones with Large 4.7 and 5.5 inch Displays

If rumors are believed Apple is planning new bigger iPhones with curved displays and new sensors that can detect various levels of pressure.

Two variants to be released in the second half of next year, the usual launch cycle, would feature larger displays with glass that curves downward at the edges. The new screen sizes would vary between 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, the new models would be Apple’s largest iPhones.

Samsung and LG both showed of their versions of curved phones last month, with a horizontally curved Samsung Galaxy Round and a vertically curved LG G Flex, Apple’s curved iPhone may not be that far.

Apple still has to catch up to screen sizes in the Android camp, and with the proposed 4.7 inch and 5.5. inch screen sizes “supposedly” in the making, Apple may have just the right mix of new tech they may need to remain at pole position. 

Apple also said last week that it will open a new plant in Arizona to make components for its devices. Merrimack, New Hampshire-based GT Advanced Technologies said Apple will prepay $578 million for furnaces to make sapphire materials used in smartphones, with the iPhone maker getting some exclusive rights.

Apple working on iWork update to re-introduce ‘missing features’

Apple recently released all-new versions of iWork apps for Mac and iOS. The updated versions of Pages, Keynote and Numbers feature a complete design overhaul and also introduces some new features. However, as users began to explore the new update many found that some features were removed.

Users reported their concerns on Apple support forums and the started listing the features that had been removed. This isn’t the first time the company has faced strong comments or feedback after a major update. When Apple released a brand new version of Final Cut Pro many users said it was a step back rather than a step forward. But, Apple promised users that they would be restoring popular features in upcoming updates.

This time Apple has responded similarly, by announcing that many user requested features for the iWork apps will be coming in a future update.

The new iWork applications—Pages, Numbers, and Keynote—were released for Mac on October 22nd. These applications were rewritten from the ground up to be fully 64-bit and to support a unified file format between OS X and iOS 7 versions, as well as iWork for iCloud beta.

These apps feature an all-new design with an intelligent format panel and many new features such as easy ways to share documents, Apple-designed styles for objects, interactive charts, new templates, and new animations in Keynote.

In rewriting these applications, some features from iWork ’09 were not available for the initial release. We plan to reintroduce some of these features in the next few releases and will continue to add brand new features on an ongoing basis.

The new version of iWork apps ensure that there is complete compatibility between iOS and Mac version of the apps. This will server users better in the long run as they create files on their iPhone or iPad and the continue to work on it on their Mac without worrying about compatibility or messing up the format.

Some of the most requested features in the new iWork applications according to the threads on Apple support forums have been the ability to customise the toolbar, use AppleScripts and vertical ruler. Apple will re-introduce these features in upcoming updates over a period of six months.

It’s important to note that files created in new iWork apps aren’t compatible with older versions of the software suite. However, you can convert the files created with the new version to run on older iWork apps.

iWork apps are now free for anyone who buys a new Mac or iOS device. The update is free for anyone who previously owned any of the iWork apps.

Apple iPhone 6 Release in 2014: Apple to Offer Upgraded Version of iPhone 5S And A Phablet

Expect two iPhones in the year 2014, with speculations of iPhone 6 release next year. The other handset will be an upgraded version of iPhone 5S. iPhone 6 according to some rumours will be a phablet-sized phone. Some competition from Apple finally for Samsung Galaxy Note series!

 It seems Apple has left the tradition of releasing one phone per year. Katy Huberty of Morgan Stanley suggests that the tech giant is considering faster refreshes of its iOS devices from 2014. The statement is based on an assessment with Apple’s top executives. Apple’s top competitors namely Samsung, HTC, Sony are known for releasing more than a single flagship handset per year. Samsung has the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note III which already have done so well in the market, HTC has HTC One and the Max Build, Sony offers the Sony Xperia Z in different configurations. All the three have benefited in a great way with this game plan. So is Apple going to revamp its strategy accordingly?

 The phablet class iPhone will be a great handset surely. Apple Inc is bound to attract a higher customer base and provide satisfaction to the already millions of Apple handset users. Apple aficionados can expect 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch handset upgradations, as per the NPD DisplaySearch report. Some other reports suggest that Apple wants to focus on one-hand use for navigation, despite the large screen, for better user experience. iPhone 6/iPhone Air will have a sapphire glass cover, Sharp IGZO technology, 64-bit processor with M7 coprocessor chip, 128GB flash storage and a facility for “charging-on-the-go” with solar panel built in the phone.

 If the news is indeed true, a first quarter debut for iPhone 6 is expected, followed by the release of the second handset towards the end of 2014.

Top Ten Tablets Of 2013: Apple iPad Air, Asus Transformer Pad, Apple iPad Mini2, Google Nexus 7

Tablets have indeed taken the tech world by storm. Think back a few years ago, when the world tablet itself in the tech arena had no meaning, hardly many people knew about it. Today, it has created a buzz in the tech-savvy public. Here is an attempt to put ten of the best tablets available today.

• Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

This marvel in the tablet world has a large screen size, a wonderful design and the feature of a stylish S pen that is good for creative stuff on the tablet.

• Asus Transformer Pad Infinity

It has got everything to be called a good tablet, just the price rates are a notch high. A 1920 X 1200 screen resolution means HD viewing is possible. 1.3 GHz NVidia Tegra 3 Quad-core processor runs the tab. It has a full Qwerty touchpad and a simple interface.

• Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0

With Exynos 4412 1.6 GHz quad-core processor and 1280X800 resolution, Galaxy Note 8.0 is one of the best tablets around. The best part about Note 8.0 is its portability thanks to the lightweight and incredibly sleek design.

• Tesco Hudl:

The 7-inch Tesco Hudl tablet (yes, a tablet from the supermarket chain) is decent enough with a quad-core processor. It is very light to carry, however, not so good as far as the camera is concerned.

• Microsoft Surface Pro 2:

This tablet bridges the gap between a tablet and a laptop perfectly. It has a large screen, Qwerty keypad and Windows 8 OS. It is slightly heavy though and average on screen resolution

• Google Nexus 10

How can we miss one of the most talked about tablets, Google Nexus 10. The best part is, it packs a lot of pixels with a pixel density of 299ppi, and is decently priced for the quality it provides.

• iPad mini 2

This tablet from the tech giant Apple Inc has a superb design, great battery life andwonderful performance. It is light and extremely portable too. Of course, the lack of retina display and the high price is a concern, nevertheless, Apple never misses out on high quality.

• Google Nexus 7:

ncredibly lightweight at 290g and has a sleek design, but loaded with powerful features. Doesn’t matter if you are an Android fan or not, Nexus 7 is definitely one great buy for the price it is offered at.

• Sony Xperia Tablet Z

Sleek, powerful and a wonderful screen. This tablet takes viewing to a whole new level. It is power-packed internally and portable too. Highly recommended.

• iPad Air

Larger screen, A7 and M7 processor chips and has an incredible design to say the least. This tablet is easily at the top, and we reckon won’t move from there at least for now.

iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak: Redsn0wn, Evasi0n, iH8Sn0w… Which Is The Real Deal?

Owners of iOS devices around the world are waiting to hear news about the release of an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7 and the iPhone 5. We have heard about many jailbreaks, but sadly many of them are fakes.

The Evad3rs team are working on a jailbreak and they do have all the parts that they need to make the jailbreak for iOS 7. Up to now they have talked more about the jailbreak than they did in the past and they have shared details, including how to spot fake jailbreaks. So here are three ways.

If and when an untethered jailbreak comes out the download will come free of charge. You will not have to fork out money for the iOS 7 jailbreak. A lot of the time people offer jailbreaks which they claim comes with a money back guarantee. However this doesn’t mean anything. Often these types of jailbreaks also offer an unlock too. The unlock might work on your device; however it could come with a fake jailbreak that doesn’t work. In this case you should look for a reliable company offering to unlock your phone and wait for the release of the Evad3rs jailbreak.

One way of being sure that the jailbreak isn’t the real deal is that the site offering it hides the download behind surveys, which you have to fill in before you can get your hands on the download. Often they offer the chance of winning prizes or they offer the iOS 7 jailbreak as the prize. Sometimes you are asked to leave your details and sign up for a service or make a purchase of something that requires your credit card details.

There can be people on Twitter or in forums who claim that they have a working jailbreak for iOS 7 but they need donations. This is another con and the chances are that they don’t have the jailbreak. You should always give things a second look before handing over any cash or your credit card details.

So have you come across any scams and people wanting money for the iOS 7 jailbreak?

iPhone 5S has Battery problems

Oops! iPhone 5S Has Faulty Battery?

iPhone 5S

Looks like post the Steve Jobs era, Apple is slowly being plagued by more troubles than praises. The latest issue to plague Apple is the iPhone 5S battery life.

iPhones are not generally known for their long-lasting battery but as compared to Android, the battery power is often considered better. With every new iPhone or even smartphone, the one thing that a phone company boosts is the battery power. And it was the same with iPhone 5S.

However, according to recent reports, the all new iPhone 5S is suffering from battery issues. On the positive side however, it is just a small percentage of phones that is suffering from the problem. While some models of the iPhone 5S are taking longer to charge or not charging, others are facing a battery drain issue.

According to a report by New York Times, an Apple spokesperson quoted "We recently discovered a manufacturing issue affecting a very limited number of iPhone 5S devices that could cause the battery to take longer to charge or result in reduced battery life."

Apple is recalling the affected devices and offering an exchange.

Apple’s iOS and gadgets seem to be facing many issues since the demise of Steve Jobs. While every company goes through its ups and downs and Apple faced problems even before, Jobs often held a mum response to accepting or acknowledging errors in public. There would be quiet solutions rolled out. The new method is definitely better for the layman but we wonder how good is all the negative publicity doing Apple. It is perhaps a case of any publicity is good publicity?

iPhone 5S is all set to debut in India tomorrow. While the phone has been the rage in grey markets and is already available online, the excitement is yet to ebb. iPhone 5S is much advanced in terms of hardware as compared to its predecessors. The phone comes with iOS 7, 64 bit processor, advanced camera with dual-tone flash, finger-print recognition, etc to name a few features.

The phone was launched with iPhone 5C which, despite initial excitement, failed to catch on with audiences. Apple even discontinued the iPhone 5, making iPhone 4S as the base model to promote their iPhone 5C. Will the strategy work? This Diwali will surely tell!

iOS 7 Jailbreak: All the Pieces Coming Together

iOS 7 Jailbreak

OS 7 has been available to the public for a couple weeks now, and it’s been in beta for much longer. However, jailbreak developers are still working hard on an iOS 7 jailbreak, but it seems like it’s making smooth progress, according to high-profile jailbreak dev Planetbeing.

On Twitter, Planetbeing confirms that he “may have all the pieces at this point (but not certain yet).” However, he’s “still working hard” on getting the new iOS version jailbroken. He didn’t provide a timeline, though, as far as when we should expect the jailbreak to release, but if it’s anything like the iOS 6 jailbreak, we won’t see it until at least February of next year.

In the past, jailbreak devs have mentioned that the iOS 6 jailbreak was a tough one, and the difficulty level of jailbreaking newer iOS versions has increased more and more, with iOS 7 being no exception. Frankly, we wouldn’t be surprised if we had to wait quite a while for an iOS 7 jailbreak.

Technically, though, iOS 7 has already been jailbreak, but only on the iPhone 4 and it’s a less-desirable tethered jailbreak. Plus, Cydia is missing from it. It’s mainly only useful for developer purposes, and not really meant for everyday users.

There have been many claims of an iOS 7 jailbreak, but they’ve all been fake so far. If there’s one thing you should know when following news on iOS jailbreaks, is that it’s vital to follow only the reputable developers. You may hear that a new developer has discovered an iOS 7 jailbreak, but chances are if you’ve never heard of them, it’s most likely a fake.

While we’re still waiting on an iOS 7 jailbreak, iOS 7 luckily has a lot of new features that make some of the more popular jailbreak obsolete. Control Center, for example, replaces SBSetting’s ability to put quick-access toggles in the drop-down notification view, and the more-recent Auxo app switcher is easily replaced by the new multitasking tray, where you can swipe away apps to quickly close them out.

There are a wealth of other jailbreak tweaks that have been essentially ousted by new features in iOS 7, and you can read about them in our iOS 7 jailbreak feature.

iOS 7 Jailbreak Status: What’s Done And Why a Release Date is Unknown

iOS 7 Jailbreak Status

The iOS 7 jailbreak is in the works with progress coming from Planetbeing and other members of the Evad3rs jailbreak team who recently spoke about iOS security at a security conference in Kuala Lampur and took time to share a status update for the iOS 7 jailbreak, which is likely to be the first iPhone 5s jailbreak.

Earlier this month Planetbeing announced that the team may have all of the pieces of the iOS 7 jailbreak, which is great news for users hoping to free iOS 7 from the shackles of Apple’s App Store, but Evad3rs team member pod2g cautioned that the iOS 7 jailbreak release date is not coming next week. Sure enough, two weeks later there is no iOS 7 jailbreak.

The iOS 7 jailbreak progress continues as a team member shares details.

While there is no iOS 7 jailbreak yet, Cammy Harbison of iDesignTimes scores a collection of important details about the iOS 7 jailbreak progress direct from Planetbeing, and best of all it is not in cryptic Tweets.

The interview sheds light on what is happening and what the team accomplished in the short time since the iOS 7 update arrived, as well as what still needs done before users will realistically see an iOS 7 jailbreak.

THE IOS 7 JAILBREAK FOR IPHONE 5S & MORE

The iOS 7 jailbreak that the Evad3rs are working on should work for all modern iOS 7 devices, including the iPhone 5s. This is also good news for users hoping the iOS 7 jailbreak will work on the iPad mini 2 and iPad 5 which may use the same A7 64 bit processor.

Planetbeing states, “I’m sure it’ll be for all devices.” in response to whether or not the iPhone 5s A7 processor would be an issue. This means that the iOS 7 jailbreak will very likely support the following devices at release.

• iPhone 5s
• iPhone 5
• iPhone 4s
• iPhone 4
• iPad mini
• iPad mini 2
• iPad 2
• iPad 3
• iPad 4
• iPad 5

Keep in mind this list is based on the “all devices” statement but does not come directly from the Evad3rs. If the team is able to pull this off it would be a big win for consumers who want to install apps that Apple does not approve.

TOO EARLY TO THINK ABOUT AN IOS 7 RELEASE DATE

The IOS 7 jailbreak pieces are coming together, but at this point the actual release date is not something the team is thinking about. While they may have all the pieces in mind, there is still writing and testing to be done. Planetbeing sates,

“We don’t have a real proof-of-concept finished. I just believe we have all the individual pieces we need, but they haven’t been written/tested. They just mostly exist in our head right now as a plan. It’s too early to worry about actual release date issues yet since we have no idea what kind of implementation challenges we might run into that might significantly skew the schedule. I was just saying that I think it should be possible to release a jailbreak eventually at least.”

With the last jailbreak we saw progress come in bursts with photos showing the jailbreak on various devices and once the process is complete, the team still needs to make a user-friendly iOS 7 jailbreak tool and test the process on a larger scale.

PLAN FOR AN UNTETHERED IOS 7 JAILBREAK

The iOS 7 jailbreak for the iPhone 4 is available right now, but it is a tethered jailbreak that offers limited functionality. It sounds like the Evad3rs are planning an untethered iOS 7 jailbreak, which is more beneficial to the average jailbreak user.

An untethered iOS 7 jailbreak is the goal.

A tethered jailbreak requires the iPhone or iPad be connected to a computer when it reboots. This means the user needs a computer nearby if the battery dies or if there is another issue that forces the phone to restart. The untethered jailbreak, which is what the Evad3rs released for iOS 6.1, lets users reboot as needed.

CYDIA FOR IOS 7 IS BROKEN

Even if the iOS 7 jailbreak arrived tomorrow, there would be little that user could do as Cydia is not working on iOS 7 at this time. It looks like there is some success on porting Cydia to iOS 7, but it’s not complete for the average user yet.
