VirtualHome: no more pressing

    While the tweak may take some getting use to, VirtialHome is great if you want to limit the stress of your home button. It allows you to use the touch ID sensor to act as the home button allowing for the same function the home button does, just without the pressing of a button. 


    Holding your finger down on the sensor will invoke Siri for easier use. The action can also cause the device to vibrate if you choose to confirm a corporal press. You'll also be able to skip your lock screen and unlock just by using your touch ID. 

   VirtiralHome is available for free on the BigBoss repo and is a very effective way to ease the stress of pressing a home button all the time.

GuestMode: Allow others to use your phone freely

By now if you have been on twitter and reddit, if you follow the right people and the jailbreak subreddit, you may already know what the new tweak 'GuestMode' is. 


Developed by @ianb821, this tweak allows you to have a "guest mode" on your device. You must set a password, or you can use an activator action to enable and disable GuestMode. 


At the bottom left, you can also place it at the right, is the GuestMode button. When you slide to unlock and it asks for your passcode, just click on 'Guest' and it'll unlock your device, but also with limited features that are set up in settings. 


You can enable and disable the features above, when turned off the guests are not allowed to access them. 


If you go to the 'Enabled Apps' section you can choose what apps the guests can use, and yes you must choose what they can use, so you must click on each app that is allowed in guest mode. 


As you can see I have some important apps disabled so the guest can not access it at all. 

This is an amazing tweak, for what it's worth, it will be available for $.99, it's well worth the money. 

As always leave us some comments below, as make sure you follow the dev @ianb821!

TimePasscode: Use current time as your passcode number


    Make your device a little more secure by making it so your passcode changes every minute. Nobody else would know except for you, so even if they watch you enter your passcode it will be different the next time. You can still use your normal passcode if you desire alongside TimePasscode. It can also be set up to allow the reverse of the time to be entered as the passcode. 


    It has been submitted to ghe BigBoss repo and will be free and open-sourced. If you wish to aquire it now you'll need to add the devs repo: http://cydia.expetelek.com/
