8 Awesome Things You Can Do with Springtomize on iPhone

Springtomize was recently updated for iOS 9 for iPhones and iPads running the iOS 9 jailbreak. Here are eight awesome things you can do with Springtomize on your device.
An iOS 9 jailbreak has been available for over a month now, and while many popular jailbreak tweaks were quickly updated to support the new version of iOS, there were some that remained silent, with Springtomize being one of them. There was no doubt that the developers of the tweak were working on an update, but they remained mostly quiet about its progress, which led to many jailbreakers in the community to get a bit antsy.
However, Springtomize 3 has finally been updated for iOS 9 and can be downloaded from Cydia right now on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 9.
f you’re not familiar with this jailbreak tweak, Springtomize is mainly seen as a UI customization tool, allowing you to change and customize the look and layout of iOS in a way. It’s not like WinterBoard where it can change themes, but rather a compliment that goes along great with WinterBoard if you have both installed.
n short, Springtomize can do so many things, but here are eight awesome things that Springtomize can do for your iPhone.

Speed Up Animations

iOS 9 has some pretty cool animations when switching between apps and opening up folders, but they're a little show for some users.
Life moves to quickly to wait around for animations, but Springtomize can change that easily. By going into Springtomize, tapping on Animations, enabling Custom Speed and adjusting the slider at the top, you can decrease or increase the speed of iOS 9 animations.

5 great jailbreak tweaks for the lockscreen

Best-Lock-screen-tweaks-featureOver the past few months we’ve brought you lists of the best iOS 8 jailbreak tweaks for the Music app, the best paid jailbreak tweaks, and the best free tweaks. Continuing with our “best tweaks” lists, today we’re bringing you 5 awesome ways to customize how your lockscreen looks and functions. Without wasting anymore time, let’s get into it!

1. Forecast

Forecast
As its name implies, Forecast brings the current weather and forecast to your lockscreen. It’s a simple but very useful tweak. On your main lockscreen page, Forecast will show the current temperature, current conditions, and the high and low for the day. Swiping right to left will reveal another lockscreen page with the upcoming Forecast for the next 5 days.
Forecast also has an option to replace your lockscreen and/or home screen wallpaper with animated wallpaper to match the current weather. One of the coolest things about Forecast is that it very closely mimics the look of the stock Weather app, making it feel native to iOS.
If you’re interested in picking up Forecast, you can find it in the ModMyi repo for $0.99.

2. Spin

SpinSpin is an awesome lockscreen tweak that redesigns the lockscreen when playing music. It features large song title and artist font, a circular album artwork view, and easy to access controls. It also keeps the large time text visible, instead of moving it to the status bar like iOS normally does. The controls are placed at the bottom of the screen, which makes them much easier to reach on larger devices, such as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Aside from the change in look, Spin also comes with a few gestures. Tapping the artwork will Play/Pause the currently playing song, and tapping and holding the album artwork will launch the currently playing music app.
If Spin is something you’re interested in checking out, you can find it on the BigBoss repo for $0.99.

3. AppBox 8

AppBox 8AppBox 8 is a tweak that makes it super easy to launch your favorite apps from the lockscreen. It does so by displaying user configurable apps with a right-to-left swipe of the lockscreen. Tapping app icons will launch them as you’d expect, but when tapping the home button within an app, you’ll be brought back to the lockscreen for security purposes. There’s also a few settings to customize the tweak to do things such as require your passcode when launching apps.
Aside from just launching apps, a few apps feature plugins called “App Views.” This feature allows you to tap-and-hold on certain apps for quick access to parts of these apps. With these App Views you can view your Playlists from the Music app, quickly create a new note, view Favorite contacts from the Phone app, and more.
If you’re interested in picking up AppBox 8, it’s available for $1.50 on the BigBoss repo.

4. SleekCode

SleekCodeSleekCode is a tweak that focuses on an area of the lockscreen most other tweaks ignore: the passcode screen. With SleekCode you have the option to enable or disable the blur and alpha on the passcode screen. You can also choose to remove the rings around the numbers. You can also turn off the slide to unlock chevron and the “Emergency” button on the passcode screen (I’d recommend leaving this on, however).
SleekCode can be found on the BigBoss repo for free.

5. IntelliscreenX 8

IntelliScreenX-8IntelliscreenX 8 is by far the most elaborate and feature-rich lockscreen tweak on this list. It adds a ton of information to your lockscreen for easy viewing at a quick glance. One thing you’ll notice is that notifications are displayed like you would see them in Notification Center, organized by app.
Above your notifications you’ll see the time, date, weather, and a customizable ticker that can pull information from RSS feeds, Twitter, and more. You can also view entire emails on the lockscreen, view posts from your Facebook feed and comment/like them, access your Twitter timeline, and more. The tweak also features Messages+, which adds features such as Quick Compose to your lockscreen.
This tweak has a bunch of customization options and other features, and you can learn more about IntelliscreenX 8 here. This tweak definitely isn’t for everyone, but luckily there’s a 3-day free trial so you can find out if it’s for you. After that, you’ll be required to pay $9.99 to keep using the tweak.
IntelliscreenX 8 can be found on the ModMyi repo.

they (evad3rs) are going to have to release a new version of the jailbreak to address this problem before he can release newer builds of substrate

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


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

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

new pages numbers keynote
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.

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?

Nexus 5 CF-Root for “rooting beginners” released

nexus-5-white
Many look towards the Nexus devices for the clean Android experience. And given that, there is often less reason for users to be looking towards third party ROMs. But that being said, some may still prefer to have their Nexus device rooted. There are a variety of options, one of which is for backing up. Regardless of your personal reason for rooting though, there is some good news in that CF-Root has been released for the Nexus 5.
This one comes by way of Chainfire and the details have recently been shared over on the xda-developers forums. CF-Root, for those not familiar, is touted as being the root option for “rooting beginners.” That is to say the process is fairly simple and will work on Windows, Mac and Linux. And as a bonus, this option not only roots your phone, but also unlocks it during the same process.
CF-Root will install the SuperSU binary and APK. The process is limited to just a few steps, which begin with downloading and extracting the “CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5″ zip file. From that point you will need to boot your Nexus 5 into bootloader/fastbook mode and then connect it to your computer. The bootloader mode can be reached by holding VolumeUp+VolumeDown+Power buttons.
After that, you will need to enter a few commands. These all vary slightly depending on whether you are using Windows, Mac or Linux. Either way, all necessary commands (along with the previously mentioned zip file) can be found on the xda-developers thread.
Now for the warning, while this can be done before of after the initial setup — you should know that this method will wipe all your data. Bottom line here, if you are using this method to root your Nexus 5 — make sure you either do it before you set up your device, or be prepared to re-build everything from memory and backups.

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.
iphone-4s-ios7
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.
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.
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.

5 Signs That iOS 7 Jailbreak is a Fake

As progress on an iOS 7 jailbreak continues, we share how to spot a fake.
As we wait for the iOS 7 release that may herald an iOS 7 jailbreak’s arrival, users continue to search for an iOS 7 jailbreak and an iPhone 5s jailbreak, and are greeted with many promising results.
A quick search for iOS 7 jailbreak on Google, Twitter or Facebook delivers results that promise fast access to Cydia apps on iOS 7, free apps and even an iOS 7 jailbreak + unlock combo for the price of one.
We’ve already looked at the progress of the iOS 7 jailbreak and why it’s still early to talk about a specific iOS 7 jailbreak release. The good news is that the team working on the new iOS 7 jailbreak believes they have all the parts needed to make an iOS 7 jailbreak.
With the parts identified, there is no specific date for an iOS 7 jailbreak in mind, but the team is confident that they can deliver an iOS 7 jailbreak. The Evad3rs are more vocal than last time, sharing progress and details on social media, which helps keep users informed and should help them avoid fake iOS 7 jailbreak
As progress on an iOS 7 jailbreak continues, we share how to spot a fake.
While researching the iOS 7 jailbreak we come across a wide variety of fakes and want to make sure you don’t fall for one and hand over your personal information, time or money to a fake jailbreak. Many of these iOS 7 jailbreak schemes promise a money back guarantee, but the terms are ludicrous. Last year we found one which required the user send their iPhone in to the seller before a refund could be processed.
Here are five signs the iOS 7 jailbreak you found in search, on Facebook, on Twitter or even in Google News is a fake.
Another great place to check is this list of iOS Jailbreak fakes and iOS jailbreak scams from the iPhone Wiki.

THE IOS 7 JAILBREAK ISN’T FREE

Whenever we see a legitimate jailbreak, the files needed to perform it are released free to users. There may be some talented individuals who create an iOS 7 jailbreak ahead of a public release to use in their own security related work, but these users aren’t selling an iOS 7 jailbreak for $29.95.
Many times these fake iOS 7 jailbreak services will claim to offer a money back guarantee, but keep in mind that anyone can add a logo claiming to offer money back to any website. That doesn’t make it so.
Many times these offers of an iOS 7 jailbreak include an unlock as well. While the unlock service might work, if it’s bundled with a fake jailbreak you are better off looking for a source of reliable iPhone unlocking, like Chronic Unlocks.

THE IOS 7 JAILBREAK IS IN A OVERLY POSITIVE NEWS POST

A continual jailbreak scheme is to seed fake news stories on the blog section of local newspapers and other sites that show up in Google News.
By doing this, these iOS 7 jailbreak “comparison articles” or “reviews” appear at the top of Google search results for a limited time. These articles either link to several tools while saying one is the best or offer a review that is all positive of one iOS 7 jailbreak.
Most of these articles will seem off, just like an overly positive product review. The links will almost always include a long unique identifier that lets the author earn money every time a user clicks through and buys the product.

THEY ASK FOR PERSONAL INFO OR SURVEYS

Another popular trick we see from iOS 7 jailbreak offers is hiding a download behind a collection of surveys. These are the same surveys that others previously used to offer a free iPhone, but this time the prize is an iOS 7 jailbreak download.
One example of a fake jailbreak that claims to work on your device and asks users to complete trials.

Many of these ask users to  sign up for a service that requires an initial purchase or at the very least a trial that requires a credit card. If you run into this, stop and keep your info safe and avoid wasting any more time.

CLAIMS IT WORKS RIGHT ON YOUR IPHONE

Another iOS 7 jailbreak offer that we’ve already discovered attempts to trick users into believing there is a jailbreak that will work right from the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5 or iPad.  We haven’t seen this type of jailbreak in a long time.
When an iOS 7 jailbreak release arrives, you will almost certainly need a computer to perform the process.
This fake iOS 7 jailbreak claims the evad3rs are paying for high prices real estate in San Francisco and have a very sought after phone number.

The most audacious of these fake iOS 7 jailbreak also claims to be affiliated with the Evad3rs or jailbreak veterans like Joshua Hill, known as @p0sixninja. The latest fake iOS 7 jailbreak claims to be from, Musclenerd, Pod2g, Planet Being, and Poisixninja, going so far as to list an address for an office space near the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco and a fake phone number.

ASKS FOR DONATIONS BEFORE AN IOS 7 JAILBREAK RELEASE

If someone on Twitter or a forum claims to have a working iOS 7 jailbreak, but needs donations before releasing proof or a tool to perform the jailbreak don’t open your wallet.
Time after time, we see this happen and the jailbreak is ultimately a fake. Donations on their own are OK after a release, but not from an unknown without proof.
If you see any of these signs on a page offering an iOS 7 jailbreak, think twice before handing over your personal information or a payment.
