[Jailbreak Tweak] Calendar Pro Brings Improved Calendar To Notification Center

by admin in ,

Calendar Pro Notification Widget is a jailbreak tweak available in Cydia Store which adds a calendar to the notification center

iOS developer tom-go has released a very sleek calendar widget for Notification Center dubbed Calendar Pro. Similar to the stocks and weather widgets, you can tap to launch the respective application – the small calendar button in the bottom right of the widget, as shown in the screenshot above, will launch the stock iOS Calendar application.

Calendar Pro Features:

  • Allows to set starting day of week either Sunday or Monday.
  • Allows to set font color for each part of the calendar
  • Allows to show dos for events registered in iOS’s default calendar.
  • Allows to import public holidays from subscribed calendars on your iDevice.
  • Home button to go navigate back to current month quickly.

Calender Pro addon can be enabled from the Settings app, in the Notificaion Panel. If you don’t like having a ton of widgets clogging up Notification Center, then Calendar Pro might not be something that you want to install; it does take up a considerable amount of space and requires iOS 5 to install.

Calendar Pro is available in Cydia Store for only $1.50.

We had heard some rumors about the possibility of a new development team working on releasing a new SIM interposer solution similar to the popular Gevey SIM. This would provide iPhone 4S users with the elusive unlock if it was to surface. If the recent video released on YouTube by the folks over at ApplenBerry is true, it would seem that the release of the new Gevey Ultra S will eventually provide unlock satisfaction to the owners of a GSM iPhone 4S.

The video demonstrates the team installing a SIM card in an iPhone 4S using the new Gevey Ultra S interposer. This allows previously unavailable network connections to be made on an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 with modern firmware versions 1.0.11, 1.0.13, and 1.0.14.

This guide is for Mac only and will teach you how to jailbreak various iOS devices using the newly released tool, Absinthe. The current version of Absinthe is 0.3. It should be noted that this is an UNTETHERED JAILBREAK, meaning that you will be able to reboot your phone just like you normally would at any time.

This guide should be used with the following device/firmware combinations:

It should also be noted that the team that put this jailbreak together included both Saurik and MuscleNerd, both of which are core members of the iPhone Dev Team; three members of the Chronic Dev Team including posixninja, pod2g, and nikias; and the legendary planetbeing, who is the iOS hacker/developer who is responsible for initially porting both Android and Linux to the iPhone) is accepting donations. Feel free to donate via PayPal if you want to show some support.

PayPal Donation Link

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING:

Absinthe create a backup and restores it onto your device as part of the way it gets files on the device, so we recommend the device is mostly empty when you start the process. To do this, it is advised to create a backup in in iTunes first (connect to iTunes and sync). If you are using iCloud to backup, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Backup Now.

Once you have backed up, on your device go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. As mentioned, make sure you have a backup of your content first. You don’t need to Erase All Content and Settings if you don’t want to, but the jailbreak could take up to 20-30 minutes to complete if you don’t, depending on your device that is.

Follow the steps below to successfully jailbreak your iOS device:

  1. Download the Windows version of Absinthe 0.3 from the following link (http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-mac-0.3.zip)
  2. Once downloaded, double click the zip file to unzip it if your browser didn’t already automatically unzip the file.
  3. (Make sure your device is connected first) Double-click Absinthe to launch it and you will see the Absinthe home screen. Absinthe at this point should tell you what device and firmware version is detected.
  4. Press the jailbreak button. Once you do this, Absinthe will go through a few status messages while it jailbreaks your device. It will stop for a bit at Waiting for reboot – not done yet, don’t unplug your device yet!
  5. Once the device has finished rebooting, it will continue the jailbreak. During this process, do not touch or unplug your iOS device.
  6. Once the process has finished in Absinthe, it will alert you to unlock the screen if necessary and tap “Absinthe” icon to finish the jailbreak. Remember, the icon may not be on the first pay, so you might have to scroll to find it.
  7. Tapping the icon will bring up a webview with a white page, and then your device will restart. Just a quick note: If you see an “Error establishing database connection” error or a white screen, which lasts longer than 1 minute, please go to Settings and turn on VPN, and wait instead. The VPN connection will give an error (which is normal). At this point, a reboot should happen a few moments after the error.
  8. You will see the Apple logo with a progress bar quickly as the device restarts and then your device will power back on. Just a quick note: The Set Up iPhone (or iPad) GUI you see when you restore an iOS Device will now appear. If you backed up with iCloud at the beginning of this tutorial, please choose Restore from iCloud Backup in the Set Up iPhone GUI, and restore from the backup you took at the beginning of this guide. The iDevice will then restore from backup, reboot, and you’re good to go.
  9. Cydia is now on your device where the Absinthe icon was before!

Boom! You’re now holding a jailbreak iOS device!

iFaith 1.4 Released – Downgrade From iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.0 (Requires iOS 5.0 APticket)

First and foremost, for those of you who are on iOS 5.0.1 already, you are out of luck. Now those of you who are still on iOS 5.0, you can now save not only your SHSH blobs but also your APtickets, which are used in Apple’s new firmware verification process. What exactly does this mean? It means that if you are on iOS 5.0 right now, and for some reason you need to restore (it updates to iOS 5.0.1) then you can have the option to downgrade back to iOS 5.0 granted you have used iFaith to save your APticket before you restored.

It should be noted that if you are on iOS 5.0.1 already, you CANNOT downgrade to iOS 5.0.

This is mainly for people who have saved their APtickets on iOS 5.0 as they will be the only ones who can downgrade back from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.0.

Detailed Information

An APticket is a piece of information, almost like a screenshot. When you use Apple’s iOS 5.0 firmware, your device has an APticket saved for iOS 5.0. When you update to iOS 5.0.1, our APticket changes to an iOS 5.0.1 APticket. This is how Apple keeps you from downgrading.

By using iFaith, you can not only save your SHSH blobs, but also your current iOS 5.0 APticket. This allows you to use the APticket you had for iOS 5.0 to downgrade back to iOS 5.0 from iOS 5.0.1 since your iOS 5.0 APticket is still valid. Now if you don’t save your APticket when you are on iOS 5.0, ten your new APticket is the one given to you by iOS 5.0.1, which means that you don’t have an APticket for iOS 5.0. Since you don’t have one, you cannot downgrade back to iOS 5.0 from iOS 5.0.1. In this case, iOS 5.0.1 would be the lowest you could go.

Currently, iFaith only supports Windows, as iH8sn0w is a Windows user himself. He is also the famous developer behind Sn0wbreeze, which is the Windows-only jailbreak tool. At this point in time, there isn’t any information regarding a Mac version and its release.
