My 20 Must-Have Cydia Apps & Tweaks For IPhone

Until 2 days ago I was running iOS 4.2 beta on my iPhone 4. Then limera1n came out, and considering that 4.2 beta wasn't't exactly running "smoothly" on my iPhone, and furthermore considering the lack of breakthrough features of 4.2 for the iPhone, I decided to go back to 4.1 and jailbreak once again. You can read everything about iOS 4.1 and the compatible Cydia apps here.

I missed jailbreak. I missed the tweaks and the customization, the possibility to FaceTime on 3G and the unlimited apps in folders. I missed just about everything of what the jailbreak community offers, and that's what you get by living on the edge of software. When I went back to 4.1 and started pulling apps from Cydia again, I realized there's this list of apps and tweaks I install every time a new jailbreak is out. Every single time.

Just like I did for the iPad and Mac OS X, here's my list of 20 must-have apps from Cydia. Jailbreakers, this one's for you.

Activator

A system-wide tweak that lets you set up custom activation gestures and commands for just about anything on your device. Want to fire up the music controls with a pinch gesture on your Springboard? There you go. Mail app with pull-down from the status bar? Boom. Activator is THE must-have, and it's free.

AppLinks

This neat tweak creates shortcuts for your 3rd party applications right where you need them via SSH access. Instead of having to navigate to God knows which folder in your iPhone filesystem, just go to /var/mobile/AppLinks and you'll find the shortcut to the app you need. Useful, and free.

BiteSMS

The alternative SMS app that doesn't need introductions. BiteSMS is a full-featured alternative to Messages.App that comes with an awful lot of features such as Quick Reply and Quick Send, Emoji support and settings. You should go download this right now.

Disable Voice Control

A simple tweak that removes Voice Control on click & hold the home button. I don't use Voice Control, and with this I managed to assign the shortcut to multifl0w.

EnhancedTabs

A tweak for Mobile Safari that allows you to always open the browser in tab mode (useful if you usually have a lot of pages open and you have to pick up the one you want on each launch), choose the new tab mode behavior and enable a button to close all tabs except the selected one. Free.

Five Icon Dock

Five icons in the Dock, pretty simple. If I may suggest, don't put apps that'll have badges (Mail, for example) in the dock.

FolderCloser

Annoyed by Apple's decision to show a folder when closing an app you just launched from there? Wouldn't it be great to open a folder, launch an app, close it and just go back to the homescreen. There you have it. Free in Cydia.

iFile

A full-featured and great looking file manager for iPhone and iPad. Constantly updated to support the latest version of iOS and Infinifolders

With this app you'll be allowed to put more than 12 apps in a folder. You can also enable vertical scrolling, activate pagination and choose the scrollbar style. Must-have if you put a lot of apps in many folders on your device. Our previous coverage here.

Multifl0w

A great alternative to Apple's default implementation of multitasking which reminds of Mac's Exposè. Through a custom activation method (that can override Apple's task switcher) you get beautiful thumbnail previews of the apps you have running. It's fast and lightweight. Our previous coverage here.

MxTube

A free Youtube downloader, quite possibly the best one I've ever seen on the iPhone. Highly recommended.

Netatalk

A free implementation of the standard AppleTalk framework that lets you mount an iOS device in the Mac's Finder. To truly understand how awesome Netatalk is, check out this tutorial we posted a few months back.

No Folder Badges

Annoyed by folder icons having badges for all the apps inside them? With this tweak, folders won't have any badge. Simple and great.

Notified Pro

What notifications on iOS should have been. Notified Pro is one of the apps I suggest to every new iPhone user interested in jailbreaking, and to know more about the app make sure to read my in-depth review I posted a while go. Still a must-have app.

Paste

Quickly submit any kind of text snippet to Pastie.Org. Free, fast and works just fine.

SBSettings

The father of all tweaks and apps on the iPhone. SBSettings is the best way to easily perform any kind of action on your iPhone: reboot, respring, turn 3G off, turn Bluetooth on…anything. With support for themes and addons (toggles), SBSettings is the first app you should install from Cydia together with Activator. A huge time saver.

SpringFlash

Activate a flashlight with a simple Activator-based gesture. Simple, free, useful. (My gesture is tap on volume heads-up display)

Synchronicity

This mod lets you use your iPhone while it's syncing with iTunes. A read bar similar to the tethering one will appear right under the status bar, but you'll be able to do everything you want while iTunes is installing apps or backing up your device. Our previous coverage here.

Winterboard

Do I really need to introduce you to this one? Winterboard lets you activate themes and other graphical modifications on your device. Just install it, then go look for some awesome themes on MacThemes. Then look at your iPhone. Then back at this post.

FaceBreak & 3G Unrestrictor

Last, these two tweaks to let the iPhone think it's on wifi even though you're only using 3G. FaceBreak is only for FaceTime, 3G Unrestrictor allows you to edit settings for every app on your device. FaceBreak is cheaper and faster in updates, 3G Unrestrictor is full-featured.


How To Install Apps On A Jailbroken And Cydia Unlocked IPhone

When speaking about iPhones, the term "jailbreaking" refers to the process of hacking the device's firmware so you can use unapproved apps unavailable from Apple's App Store, while "unlocking" an iPhone allows it to be used with service providers other than the one it was designed for. You don't need to unlock your phone to use Cydia -- the gateway application that provides access to a world of unapproved apps -- but you do need to jailbreak it. A jailbroken iPhone has access to a number of useful applications, such as SBSettings, which enables you to customize your most used settings right from the home screen, or iBlacklist, an app that enables you to block calls and texts.


How To Download An MP3 From Cydia

Cydia is a software application that automatically gets installed onto your iOS device after you jailbreak it. The Cydia app allows you to download other apps which can enable you to customize your iOS device in ways that would otherwise be impossible with a non-jailbroken device. Although you can download music to your iOS device through the iTunes app, you can also download it using Cydia apps, which sometimes allow you to stream the music for free, and then download the song if you enjoy it. ITunes, on the other hand, only gives you a small free sample before you make your purchase.

ZLUDA v2 Released For Drop-In CUDA On Intel Graphics - Phoronix

Image
One of many interesting and original open-source projects to be started in 2020 was ZLUDA, an open-spurce drop-in CUDA implementation for Intel graphics. ZLUDA - developed independent of Intel and NVIDIA - is built atop Intel's oneAPI Level Zero interface (hence the name, ZLUDA) and allows for unmodified CUDA applications to run on Intel UHD/Xe Graphics hardware with near-native performance. Well, that's the goal at least but with the initial ZLUDA release were a number of support limitations. Out today is ZLUDA Version 2 that has been focused on ensuring it works well with the Geekbench CUDA test cases as an interesting stressor for CUDA on Intel graphics. Additionally, the Microsoft Windows support for ZLUDA has been improved while continuing to provide first-rate Linux support. ZLUDA Version 2 implements more host-side functions, a number of bugs have been fixed, I/O performance improvements, support for creating traces of CUDA kernel executions, and other enhancements for

Google chrome crashed and now laptop is running very slowly. Malware? - Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Help - BleepingComputer

Image
Hello, My Huawei laptop is not very old and has been working perfectly until yesterday. Google Chrome crashed and now it takes longer to start up, and neither chrome or Microsoft edge work properly (very slow and keep buffering). My avast anti virus has not found anything when I scanned, but I can't think what else the problem can be. I tried some of the steps in the post about a slow computer not being a malware problem but nothing changed, and since I don't have very much installed on my laptop I don't think it can be a problem with memory. Any help in fixing this would be very much appreciated. I have attached my log here; Rachel Scan result of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) (x64) Version: 15-04-2022 Ran by Rachel (administrator) on LAPTOP-AJP0U36V (HUAWEI BOHB-WAX9) (17-04-2022 16:11:18) Running from C:\Users\Rachel\Downloads Loaded Profiles: Rachel Platform: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language Version 21H2 19044.1645 (X64) Language:
