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.

SameStatus adding consistency on the lock screen

    If you haven't noticed already the lock screen status bar is a bit bigger than the home screen. Displaying items a bit larger which to some, like me, will find this annoying. 


    Here is a lock screen without SameStatus and a home screen to compare items in the status bar. 


    The difference is not much but when you look at the battery percent you can tell that the numbers are a bit bigger on the lock screen. 


    After SameStatus has been installed the lock screen status bar is now consistent with the home screen. Making everything the same scale how it should of been in the first place. 


    SameStatus is available on the BigBoss repo for free and is compatible with 32 bit and 64 bit devices.

Couria beta is an alternative to biteSMS

   
    While many people boast how biteSMS is the best at what it does a new app currently in beta called Couria is going to give biteSMS some competition. 


    Offering extensions and themes to customize the way you send text messages it will enhance your device in the same way biteSMS but for free. Some extensions and themes made by others may ask for a price but the main part to be able to quickly reply to a text is what the app is all about. When selecting a message from notification center will invoke the app for a quick reply so going to the messages app itself will no longer be needed. A passcode may be set to lock the extension so nobody can just pick up your device and quick reply to someone. 


    Quickly reply by tapping the notification banner to reply from anywhere making it much more easier to reply to messages. Setting an activator command to invoke Couria will allow you to search for someone to message and send from anywhere on your device. 


    Couria is available on Q's repo at http://cydia.qusic.me/ along with some extensions for the app itself.
