[Jailbreak Tweak] NCSettings – A Toggle Widget For Notification Center

0

iOS developer JamieD360 has released a new jailbreak tweak dubbed NCSettings which adds some useful toggles and settings right to iOS 5’s Notification Center in a simple widget form.

NCSettings is a sleek toggle widget that gives you quick access to some of the useful settings that are used most like – WiFi, Volume, Brightness, Orientation Lock, Location Service, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Respring. It also allows you to set individual toggles that can be hidden from the settings option, and rearranged by holding and dragging the widget.

NCSettings isn’t an SBSettings replacement as SBSettings has many more toggles than just system settings. NCSettings is good for the iOS power-users who are always enabling and disabling things to either test something out or to be more efficient on battery life throughout the day. NCSettings will play nicely with other third party widgets as well as tweaks like Flowtation and IntelliScreenX.

The tweak is available for free in Cydia Store via ModMyi repo.

[Jailbreak Tweak] Mail Enhancer Pro Brings A Slew Of Enhancements To iOS Email App

0

Stefan Möllenkamp, the developer behind the famous Mail Enhancer jailbreak tweak for iOS’s stock Mail application has released Mail Enhancer Pro which brings full iOS 5 support and even more features, the tweak brings the Mail application to a whole new level of usability and user-friendliness. It comes with tons of new customization settings the Mail application never had before.

The features Mail Enhancer Pro adopts from Mail Enhancer include:

  • The ability to set up to three kinds of signatures for each email account
  • Auto-translation of HTML code as you type
  • Customization for how notifications alert you via priority settings for each email account
  • The ability to change how your e-mail senders’ names appear
  • E-mail highlighting for easier message discerning

Mail Enhancer Pro features:

  • Swipe actions for quickly deleting, flagging, or marking any e-mail message as read. The swipe actions prove faster than having to manually tap the edit button and select them all one by one to do these actions;
  • Rules for actions such as auto-deleting certain senders’ e-mails;
  • Rules for notifications such as automatically marking them read;
  • Less memory usage and a faster interface response.

One of the feature removed from Mail Enhancer Pro is Quiet Hours and the ability customize the text for popups. The Quiet Hours feature allowed you to set a certain time window where you would receive no notifications from e-mail; great for sleeping at night.

The predecessor Mail Enhancer only has partial iOS 5 support and will be updated again some time this summer for iOS 5 support, Mail Enhancer Pro will continue to have more features than Mail Enhancer even after this update as per Stefan.

Mail Enhancer Pro is hosted by BigBoss and available in the Cydia Store for just $4.99. Existing Mail Enhanced customers will get a discount for Mail Enhancer Pro. If you purchased Mail Enhancer between January 17, 2011 and April 6, 2011, then Mail Enhancer Pro is a $3 upgrade. If you purchased Mail Enhancer between April 6, 2011 and June 13, 2011, then Mail Enhancer Pro is a $2 upgrade. If you purchased Mail Enhancer between June 13, 2011 and March 20, 2012, then Mail Enhancer Pro is a free upgrade. All new customers will have to pay the full-blown $4.99 for Mail Enhancer Pro. For overlapping dates, certain times apply; Cydia will tell you how much you are eligible for paying.

If you aren’t sure whether Mail Enhancer Pro will be useful for you or not, here are some instructions that come with a free trial, compliments of the developer.

Welcome to the ‘Save SHSH’ Family!

With the new iPad 3 and Apple TV 3, it’s been quite busy. Add to that all the cool new information surrounding a few new iOS 5.1 jailbreaks and we have quite the party.
TinyUmbrella now has support for saving 5.1 SHSH for Apple TV 3 and the iPad 3 (all versions). As of now we still cannot restore them but we are working on getting that working from a bunch of angles. I’ll let you know more when I do.

Save your SHSH!

You can find the TinyUmbrella download links below along with the step-by-setp guide to save SHSH blobs with TinyUmbrella:

New iPad iOS 5.1 Jailbroken Already By iPhone Dev Team [Screenshot]

0

The iPhone Dev Team has successfully jailbroken the new iPad, but there has been no indication of the release of a jailbreak tool at the moment. MuscleNerd tweeted photos of the Jailbreak along with the disclaimer “Just a first step, still lots of work to do! No ETA!

It appears that there are several potential paths to a jailbreak:

  • We can confirm that the method used to jailbreak the iPad2 4 months ago still works even in 5.1. That means we’ll at least be able to get our foot in the door to get the required kernel dumps on the iPad3. That’s an important step, but by no means is it the end of the story.
  • Those of you following @i0n1c may have noticed he’s already tweeted pictures of his iPad2 jailbroken at 5.1. As far as we know, he’s using a method completely unrelated to the one mentioned above. That would be great news!
  • We’ve also seen bits and pieces of an entirely different jailbreak method being investigated by someone close to the Cydia repo scene.
  • That’s three different angles, and we’re not even including the continuous work @pod2g makes towards a new jailbreak!

The infamous Germany based iOS hacker involved in the jailbreak scene Stefan Esser, more commonly known as i0n1c who was previously responsible for research and work which ended in a jailbreak for iOS 4 which spanned three software updates and was heavily involved behind the scenes in the production of the Absinthe based jailbreak. I0n1c has once again been showing off his jailbreak ninja skills, first of all by being the first to showcase a jailbreak for the iPad 2 running iOS 5.1 and now the show has shifted towards the iPhone Dev Team’s front man MuscleNerd, who has successfully jailbroken the new iPad in its full glory running iOS 5.1. He posted screenshot on Twitter showing off the new iPad running the latest build of Cydia, which is 1.1.5:

While folks out there were still trying to score themselves the new iPad, MuscleNerd used his skills to bypass Apple’s restrictions and get our beloved Cydia working.

In the meantime, for those of you who own A4 devices (iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod touches) can jailbreak the latest iOS 5.1 (tethered), and iOS 5.0.1 (untethered) using Redsn0w, Sn0wbreeze. For those with A5 devices (iPhone 4S and iPad 2) on iOS 5.0.1 can use Absinthe on Windows or Mac.

Apple Seeded OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion To Developers

0

Apple seeded OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion for the developers today, the public release of the new OS is scheduled for this summer. The new version does not have as many massive changes under it’s hood like we saw in OS X 10.7 Lion. But that’s not to say OS X 10.8 isn’t a big deal.

Average users who already own other Apple products like iPhone, and iPad will appreciate the improvements Apple has introduced with OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion to bring OS X more closely in line with iOS.

iPhone Dev Team Working on Promising Unlock For iPhone 4S

0

The Chronic Dev Team recently sought out help in identifying iOS 5 vulnerabilities with their C-Dev Reporter tool. The news disappointed many people which had been waiting for the release of a jailbreak for their iPhone 4S. MuscleNerd of the dependable iPhone Dev Team did recently tweet some good news for iPhone 4S users though. He said the following:

Crazy Thanksgiving weekend! Very promising 4S unlock (http://twitpic.com/7kku4t) is in the works (Not i4, just 4S..that’s crazy part)

What this means that they have discovered an exploit in the A5 processor that powers the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, allowing them to unlock an iPhon 4S so that they can use it with any other GSM carrier. MuscleNerd even ported the following image to confirm the unlock for the iPhone 4S:

The other thing to think about is the fact that you need to jailbreak the iPhone to be able to unlock it, so this means that the iPhone Dev Team must be gearing up for the launch of a jailbreak as well. Let’s hope that the jailbreak is untethered and possibly available for the iPhoen 4, iPhone 3GS, alongside with the iPhone 4S where the unlock will be exclusive.

The iPhone Dev Team has NOT provided an ETA for when it will be releasing the jailbreak and unlock, but we’ll keep you posted regarding any released information as usual!
