| How to perfectly mesh your Auxo installation with ayecon Posted: 12 Apr 2013 03:56 PM PDT
Ayecon is by far the most popular jailbreak theme that we’ve seen in quite some time, and its popularity doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Auxo, like ayecon, is insanely popular in its own right. But how do you get the pair to play nice together? It’s actually really simple — you download the official ayecon theme for Auxo, that’s how. ayecon Auxo Theme is a free WinterBoard theme, and it comes directly from the creator of ayecon — Surenix. That means you can expect it to be a 1:1 match with the rest of the ayecon theme from a visual perspective.(...)

| Corporate coach alludes to Apple’s next breakthrough: wearable Posted: 12 Apr 2013 03:45 PM PDT
Bill Campbell, Chairman of the Intuit board, has been a member of Apple’s board of directors since Steve Jobs’s return in 1997. Simply known as the “coach,” Campbell in today’s Bloomberg Businessweek article drops a few notable hints regarding Apple’s direction in the post-Jobs Tim Cook era. Although he wouldn’t discuss specifics of Apple’s pipeline, reading between the lines subtly suggests that something incorporating wearable technology might soon become Apple's latest and greatest creation…(...)

| Watch the evad3rs’ Q&A session from HITB 2013 Posted: 12 Apr 2013 03:34 PM PDT
Yesterday we linked you to the slide presentation from the evad3rs’ appearance at the HITB 2013 security conference in Amsterdam. Today, we’re bringing you video from their Q&A session. In the video, which comes in at less than half an hour — and can probably be watched faster than it would take you to read their entire slide presentation — the evad3rs talk about exploits (obviously), iOS 6.1.3, Apple, downgrading, and more.

| T-Mobile reports ‘gangbusters’ iPhone opening Posted: 12 Apr 2013 03:04 PM PDT
T-Mobile kicked off sales of Apple’s popular smartphone by airing its first iPhone ad yesterday evening. The ice-breaker commercial is part of the reportedly massive nationwide campaign, with print and digital ads to follow soon after. While the carrier did not release the official first-dale sales data at press time – and probably won’t until its next earnings report – its marketing honcho did bother taking to blogs to say T-Mobile saw “gangbusters” opening, whatever that means in terms of hard data. Be that as it may, the addition of T-Mobile, the nation’s fourth-largest wireless carrier, to the list of US carriers selling Apple’s handset is bound to improve Apple’s bottom line. Any iPhones T-Mobile sold won’t be reflected in Apple’s second fiscal 2013 quarter, which ended last month. The Cupertino company announced it will be releasing earnings on April 23…(...)

| New Twitter Music app launching this weekend Posted: 12 Apr 2013 02:37 PM PDT
Twitter Thursday announced on, well, Twitter that it snapped up We Are Hunted, a music startup which tracks what songs people share the most across social networks. But that’s so yesterday. Just 24 hours later, Twitter on Friday announced its music service is crawling out of obscurity, having changed from “invite only” to “coming soon.” Not much is known about the service as of yet except for a tidbit here and there. According to some well-informed people, the micro-blogging service will be launching an app for iOS devices as well, timed to the start of the Coachella music festival this weekend. Matter of fact, if you’re Ryan Seacrest, a filmstar, an influencer or some such celebrity, you could start using Twitter Music today…(...)

Today, Pebble released the v1.10 update for PebbleOS, which powers the Pebble SmartWatch. This update brings some highly anticipated new features along with a slew of bug fixes to the table. The update can be accessed via the the Pebble app available on the App Store. If you’re a Pebbl SmartWatch owner, simply open up the Pebble app to get started.

| Apple asks devs to localize apps, launches Chinese Support forum Posted: 12 Apr 2013 01:50 PM PDT
Apple appears to want its apps to lose the ‘outsider’ label. In an email communication to its registered developers sent earlier this week, the App Store owner encouraged programmers to localize their applications because it’s “never been more important.” Also, in the latest round of moves aimed at Chinese consumers, the iPhone maker updated its online support forums to handle the native language…(...)

| Here’s how Velox will interface with the Mail app Posted: 12 Apr 2013 01:27 PM PDT
A few new screenshots were posted on Apex Tweaks’ official site, and one of them shows the way that Velox will interface with the Mail app. This is significant, because this wasn’t available in the preview version that I demoed a few days ago. The screenshot shows the typical Velox view, with what appear to be scrollable messages with titles and a two line preview of the message. It looks, judging from the screenshot, that a swipe gesture, or a tap of the email, may allow you to reply directly to messages from Velox’s enhanced email folder.(...)

| Facebook Home now available, video tour posted Posted: 12 Apr 2013 11:35 AM PDT
Facebook Home just landed on select Android devices so the social networking giant figured it should do a video to highlight some of the features of its controversial new UI overlay. A first-look clip, included right past the break, has Facebook’s Product Director Adam Mosseri discussing Chat Heads, Cover Feed and nice gestures and animations which let you stay on top of what your Facebook friends have been up to, no matter what app you happen to be using at any given moment…(...)

| Don’t waste your time using MyStat for Notification Center Posted: 12 Apr 2013 10:59 AM PDT
So I just installed MyStat for Notification Center, as it just appeared on Cydia’s BigBoss repo a few minutes ago. Here’s a word of warning: don’t bother installing it yourself. To put it plainly, it’s a sad attempt at a statistical Notification Center widget. Your time would be better spent elsewhere.(...)

| Record ‘n’ Torch enables the camera flash toggle while recording video Posted: 12 Apr 2013 10:39 AM PDT
Did you know that you cannot enable or disable the flash while shooting video with the stock Camera app? I didn’t either, until I stumbled upon a new jailbreak tweak called Record ‘n’ Torch. This is a tweak that lends the ability to be able to enable and disable the camera flash while in the middle of recording video. Check out more details inside.(...)

| Not a joke: Verizon just tightened eligibility terms, killing early upgrades Posted: 12 Apr 2013 10:05 AM PDT
Straight from the ‘what-were-they-thinking’ department comes news that Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading carrier, Friday updated its upgrade eligibility terms, but unfortunately not for the better. If you’re on a two-year agreement, you’ll be now eligible for an upgrade at 24 months as opposed to today’s early upgrade eligibility at 20 months. Remember, this is a carrier that just two years ago eliminated the 12-month upgrade. The first customers impacted by this change are the ones whose contracts expire in January 2014. Verizon cynically states that people are always free to “purchase a new phone at the full retail price at any time.” Monthly installments, much? They even had the nerve to argue the change is “consistent with how the majority of customers purchase new phones today”. So, folks are actually eager to commit their soul to Verizon’s long-term agreements with no easy way out? Seriously? Let me guess: if consumers demanded it, the company would eliminate contracts, right? Looks to me Verizon didn’t get the memo. But wait, there’s more…(...)

| Computer Chronicles episode highlights Apple in the late 90′s Posted: 12 Apr 2013 09:36 AM PDT TUAW stumbled upon an old episode of Computer Chronicles — a show that aired on PBS during the 80′s and 90′s — which highlighted Apple’s late 90′s recovery, the iMac, and various other interesting Apple tidbits. If you’re feeling nostalgic, I highly recommend that you check out this episode, which was uploaded last August to YouTube. It just helps you to put into perspective how close Apple was to death back then.(...) "Computer Chronicles episode highlights Apple in the late 90′s" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |

We talk about a lot of interesting things on Let’s Talk Jailbreak, and one of them is the concept of sleeper tweaks. These are great tweaks, that for whatever reason have been forgotten, or fly under the radar. We’ve talked about a few of them on the Podcast, and I’d like to periodically talk about them on the blog. One of the first sleeper tweaks that comes to my mind is BannerDisable. It came out before Do Not Disturb hit iOS, and it’s a lot more forceful than iOS’ built in DND feature. If you absolutely do not want any notifications disturbing you for any reason, then you should definitely have BannerDisable installed on your device.(...)

| Apple to pay $53 million in iPhone warranty class-action settlement Posted: 12 Apr 2013 09:06 AM PDT
Have you been frustrated by Apple’s repair or replacement policy? You could be in for some cash, according to a Friday report. The iPhone maker supposedly has signed a settlement deal worth $53 million ending a class action lawsuit that claimed Apple dragged its feet on honoring warranties for the iPhone and iPod touch. The settlement, reportedly signed Wednesday by Apple’s head litigation attorney, could affect “hundreds of thousands” of iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS owners, as well as people who bought the first three generations of the iPod touch media player…(...)

| The next iPhone’s killer feature? Fingerprint scanning. Posted: 12 Apr 2013 07:54 AM PDT
Most analysts tend to pull their predictions out of thin air. We were cagey about last month’s Morgan Stanley report as it rather cryptically asserts Apple’s next iPhone, the iPhone 5S, will have a “killer feature.” Of course it will, stupid – every iPhone has at least one standout feature cunningly designed to convince existing users to upgrade. The iPhone 3G had 3G networking, the iPhone 3GS had video, the iPhone 4 had the stunning form factor and Retina display and the iPhone 4S had Siri. As for the current iPhone 5, it of course offers LTE and sports the dramatic two-tone design akin to a finely crafted watch. According to a rather reliable analyst, this year’s S-upgrade to Apple’s handset will have fingerprint scanning as an exclusive feature…(...) "The next iPhone's killer feature?

| iPhone 4 discount triples India sales in under a week Posted: 12 Apr 2013 07:06 AM PDT
More positive feedback on Apple’s efforts to reshape practices in the face of emerging markets. Sales of the iPhone 4 in India tripled in only five days, following a trade-in program. The program is viewed by some as a “disguised discount” but the results are obvious for Apple and its plans to compete in a nation where smartphone sales are just taking off. Although India does not have a subsidy program to soften the blow of a full-priced iPhone, Apple has found a way to reduce the sticker shock by sharing the handset’s cost with a growing network of India’s retailers…(...)

| Apple may have tasked former Adobe Flash expert with iWatch work Posted: 12 Apr 2013 06:31 AM PDT
Last month, news broke that Apple hired Adobe’s former Chief Technology Officer Kevin Lynch as its new VP of technology, reporting directly to Bob Mansfield who heads the new Technologies unit combining Apple’s wireless and semiconductor teams. iDB, along with many other news outlets, opined how out of character the hiring evidently was given Lynch’s history of public criticism of Apple’s stance on Flash. According to a new report, the ex-Adobe exec may now be a part of the engineering group that’s been developing a rumored Apple smartwatch project…(...)

| How to assign voice memos to an Activator gesture Posted: 12 Apr 2013 06:13 AM PDT
Whenever you have Ryan Petrich’s beta repo added to your Cydia sources, you’re bound to run into a new surprise from time to time. That’s because the prolific Cydia developer likes to test out some of his new creations on his personal repo before adding them to Cydia. One of his latest creations is called Voice Memo Toggle for Activator. As its name states, it simply adds the ability to toggle voice memos on or off using an Activator gesture. The memos are taken using the iPhone’s stock Voice Memos app, which makes it only available for the iPhone or iPod touch users. Take a look inside for a few additional details.(...)
