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! 

HideHomeTime: Remove status bar time on your homescreen

The status bar on iOS have a lot of useful information that is helpful to all users, but some people think it's too cluttered. Thanks to 'HideHomeTime' you can make that status bar less cluttered. 

The status bar before the tweak installed, and below is after it's installed. 

As you can see all this does it remove the time on the status bar, some may think this is useful, and others might think differently. If you have a widget for your time on the homescreen then this tweak would be perfect for you. 

This tweak is available on the BigBoss repo for free and is developed by Julian Weiss, aka insanj.

Eclipse - The Definitive Guide (NightMode iOS7)

Inspired largely by an iOS Reddit client, Alien Blue, and numerous Reddit posts requesting for a 'night mode' system-wide for devices running iOS7, Eclipse was conceived.

Alien Blue is a hugely popular client that features almost total control of ones Reddit account, from posting to moderation and, notably, a 'night mode' feature. 

Similar to iOS's own 'Invert Colours' option, available in the Accesibility settings, the 'night mode' we speak of basically turns shades of white to shades of black in-app, giving a much nicer user interface - especially at night, hence the name. 

The idea of being able to have a system wide variation of this feature is, frankly, incredible. Extremely difficult to imagine how one would go about coding this into a tweak that wouldn't merely invert the screen colours, as Apples feature does. 

Developer Guillermo Morán (@fr0st) almost immediately began work on turning this request into reality - it's likely of course that he himself felt this was a 'necessary' tweak. 

Initial screenshots by the developer showed great promise, the whites were now black and the blacks were now white. Indeed the greens hadn't turned to orange or red as they would have by merely inverting colours. 

From those early screenshots some Twitter followers and Reddit users had pointed out that a better UI could be gained by having a dark grey as opposed to black and greyish text returned to a lighter shade, or even white itself. 

Morán took all such feedback and incorporated them all, producing an even more superior version. At this point one does wonder why Apple couldn't have created something just as beautiful and given users another reason why they need not Jailbreak to begin with. 

It was felt for some time, with dozens (if not totalling hundreds) of tweets, Reddit and Facebook posts, that Morán should be 'left alone' while he worked. Not only was it no doubt irritating to him to receive so many questions asking when the tweak would be released but it's also highly counterproductive - the more replies he had to type, the more time it would take to create after all. 

Despite this and other setbacks, such as a 'rival' developer attempting to "beat him to it", Morán upped his game and amazed everybody by completely version 1.0 of Eclipse in record time. 

The first update is already being planned with functionality similar to F.lux, in that the UI would slowly change throughout the day. 

Indeed the tweak is now available from BigBoss for a minuscule $0.99. 

Review: No Switcher Icons

The multitask switcher, everyone knows what that is, and in iOS 7 it had a major redesign. Some may like it, some may not. 

Thankfully there's a tweak to change that, and it's called "No Switcher Icons".  This tweak does exactly what it's called, it removes the app icon below your app cards when you open the switcher. (Pictured above)

How to make your status bar have a blur effect

When iOS 7 was first released we noticed that there were a lot of changes. But there was one that really stood out from the rest. Blurriness.

Basically the whole OS has a blur effect on it, when you swipe down the notification center, when you swipe up the control center, when you open folders and so on. 

Well why not extend that blurriness to let's say the status bar? That's what a new tweak called 'BlurBar' does. 

CCHide: easy way to hide sections in your control center

Ever since Apple unveiled iOS 7 at it's WWDC conference back in June, they showed off the Control Center (pictured above). The control center makes it easy to turn toggles on and off for airplane mode, wifi, DND etc.

Some say that the control center takes up too much space on their devices, especially if you have an iphone 4/4s. But there's a new jailbreak tweak that can fix that for you. CCHide

How to change timer shortcut to alarm shortcut in Control Center

A new tweak called 'CCClockOpenToAlarm' does exactly what it's called. By installing this tweak you can simply click the timer icon in Control Center and it will launch you to your alarms.

 

To get this tweak workin head over to cydia and search for 'CCClockOpenToAlarm' and install it. Right after all you have to do is swipe up you control center, and click on the clock icon.

This is a neat tweak, and it's way more useful than the timer, this is just one of the many ways too customize your control center.
