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/

FaceOff 7: New ways to lock and unlock your device


    FaceOff 7 will allow you to lock and unlock your device using methods other then the obvious sleep/wake button. You'll be able to just put your phone in your pocket and it will lock itself. When you go to pull it out of your pocket it will automatically unlock. It does this by using the proximity sensor to tell when the app has been placed in your pocket or pulled out of it. 


    This tweak comes with customizations to make it behave to your liking. You'll also be able to lay your phone face down to lock it and unlock it by picking it up. This is very useful if you cannot be bothered always having to lock your device when you put it away. Including a flip switchtoggle and the ability to blacklist the tweak in curtain apps. It's available on the BigBoss repo for $0.99. 


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.

iOS 7.0.5 released, jailbreakers stay clear for now

    Apple released an update on 1/29/14 for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. Jailbroken users are urged to stay away from the update as it may patch Evasi0n. Popular iPhone hacker MuscleNerd has urged users to want to keep their jailbreak to stay away from the update and "Just say no!"


    Some people on the jailbreak subreddit say that 7.0.5 is still able to be Jailbroken through Evasi0n but until someone officially says it's not patched it's best to stay away from the update. 

    The update included a fix to correct network provisioning in China for some iPhone 5s and 5c models sold in China. While the update says only China 7.0.5 can be downloaded globally. 


    iPhone hacker I0n1c confirmed that 7.0.5 is not pached but Evasi0n would need to update their binary to accept it. This is unlikely to happen considering 7.0.5 is not a significant update. Unfortunately iOS 7.1 is patched but hopefully Evasi0n has a few tricks up their sleeve.

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.

TinyBar vs. DietBulletin

DietBulletin was introduced to the Jailbreak community in August of 2012, instantly becoming one of the 'must have' tweaks not only of that year but of all time. 

Confining notification banners to just the height and placement of the status bar must have sounded fairly bizarre at the time (perhaps even now if there's anybody left who hasn't heard of it). 



Some no doubt questioned how it would be possible to squeeze an entire notification into a bar barely two and a half inches across, scrolling was the key and ultimately the key to the tweaks success ad-infinitum. 

There's always been a huge market for system-wide tweaks and DietBulletin certainly fits nicely into that category, whether it be text, Facebook, Twitter or even email - all were compatible and all scrolled for easy reading. 



That was way back on late iOS5, early iOS6 and here we are now on iOS7. It's always nice to see community support for long running tweaks and DietBulletin has a huge, almost cult following. 

So much so is the community spirit, presumably he also uses it personally, that the infamous developer Ryan Petrich has added it to his already huge list of tweaks to update. 



Petrich is a prolific updater, it seems that he genuinely feels dissatisfied if the cummunity isn't happy and he knows exactly how to make that happen - by keeping much adored tweaks fully updated. 

This is where TinyBar comes in, a tweak I personally use while Petrich keeps working. 



TinyBar has the same basic features as DietBulletin, the status bar arrangement, the scrolling - even stickying notifications to the bar until you've physically removed them. 

It is a nice alternative, it works well and is certainly worth praise for what it does. But it's not DietBulletin. It's not as refined or as smooth and something feels a bit like it's not as well integrated as it could've been. 



That being said, it's a perfectly acceptable alternative to DietBulletin for the time being - you definitely want the precision and finess of the Petrich tweak when it becomes available however.
