Truth to be told, there are lots of Android users who prefers Handcent SMS application from the market over the default application. It might be one of the reason for the developers to push it on iPhone as well. Now, the application is also available for download on iOS unofficially, that is, from JailBreak Store (Cydia). Handcent SMS application is known due to its amazing interface on Android, but it seems that the expectations have not been fulfilled on iPhone.
We played with the application for couple of minutes, tried sending and receiving the messages. And figured out that the application is in tad early stages which you can see through the current version – 1.0.0. Sometimes, while navigating inside the Handcent SMS application, it crashed for us. Also, the lags when you flicker inside a specific thread are normal. However, in terms of the functionality  when compared with that of the default application, Handcent SMS application serves the purpose completely.

We all know that iMessage is an amazing way to connect to iDevices users seamlessly. But there are some restrictions in iMessage if you want to send certain files. However, those restrictions can be surpassed using Attacher tweak via Cydia. By default, you can send location from Maps, Contact and an image from photos application. Attacher expands the capabilities and let you send or receive any type of file from your iOS device.
To send the file, you can choose the different options available once you have installed the tweak. They includes Dropbox, iFile or Teamviewer. If you select Dropbox from the list, you would be redirected to the native application in order to choose the file to be uploaded for sharing purpose. You can even send the voice memos and rename them from the device itself. Also, listen the voice memos before sending it over iMessage from the settings>Attacher. [click to continue…]

When Apple launched iPhone 4 in US and other countries, there had been rumors of Antennagate. It means that when you hold an iPhone 4 in a certain way, the signals would start dropping down. Due to which Apple had to call a press conference where they told about the existence of this antenna gate in devices from other vendors as well and offered a Bumper/case to the concerned customers.
However, Apple figured out that they had been using a wrong algorithm to calculate their signals strength. Hence, they worked with carrier partners to improve on that front. But if you want to increase the accuracy further, you have to install a tweak from Cydia called ‘Bars’. Once you have installed the tweak, the signal bars would even show half of the bar if signal strength is present in decimals. According to the developer, the bars are calculated accurately without decoding what an RSS is. [click to continue…]

Well, there’s a good news for people who have saved SHSH Blobs and looking forward to downgrade their iDevices. A popular iOS hacker, iH8sn0w has told us over twitter that he has been successful in finding a loophole in A5 devices where you can downgrade from a higher firmware to lower firmware. Interestingly, he was able to downgrade his iPhone 4S from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.0.1 with the SHSH Blobs that were saved earlier.
Till now, if you have upgraded your iDevice to iOS 5.1 from iOS 5.0.1, there’s no way for you to revert back. Also, if you are experiencing an issue with your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you can’t restore to the same firmware, given that a newer one is available for download. However, MuscleNerd, the member of DevTeam informed previously that he has been working on a method to save APTickets/SHSH Blobs and downgrade which might be implemented in future. That’s the reason we were advised to save SHSH Blobs for iOS 5.0/iOS 5.0.1 even if they are not useful at the moment. [click to continue…]

If you wants to add shortcuts in Notification center such as Brightness, Wifi, Sound, Location, Rotation Lock and so on, you can do it with the help of NCSettings widget. Similar to many Samsung Android smartphones, which is an inbuilt feature of TouchWiz, these shortcuts are modest, sleek and attractive. They mix up with the native look of the notification center easily.
According to your needs, you can even turn OFF the shortcuts form the Settings. Also, you can tap and hold on a specific shortcut to move from its default position in the notification center itself. The tweak may resemble with other already widgets in Cydia, but NCSettings has its own aura and charm. From any perspective, we didn’t find it as an add-on from the third-party store. Instead, after installing the tweak, we found it a part of the notification center like Weather and Stock widget. [click to continue…]

Today, i0n1c, the popular iOS hacker who was the first one to post screenshots of JailBroken iPad 3 has told over twitter that all those exploits present with other hackers are untethered. He also informed that this is an entire misconception that there exists only one untethered exploit among three of them for iPad 3 JailBreak. Moreover, all those exploits present with other hackers are kernel exploits as well.
i0n1c added that the source of this misconception is Redmond pie who posted an article that there exist only one untethered exploit for iOS 5.1. According to him, if there existed an untethered exploit then it is highly likely that that exploit could be used to untether all of the previous devices. Hence, we can expect a release from one of the hackers in coming days. However, none has given an ETA yet. It seems that more work is required for the proper implementation. [click to continue…]

Just yesterday we told you that the Dev-Team have already Jailbroken the new iPad right on the release date. But no release dates on iPad 3 JailBreak have been given yet. Though, here is another big news for all of you waiting for an untethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1
Just today the hacker i0n1c uploaded a video of an untethered jailbreak on iPad 3 running iOS 5.1. In the video he shows Cydia running without any hiccup and the Cydia App shows the device information as iPad 3 and mobile operating system as iOS 5.1. To prove that it is an untethered jailbreak, he also rebooted the device twice. He also showed the Real Racing 2 HD game running in full glory. We guess he used the app to show that the AppSync is working fine on the iPad 3. [click to continue…]

It is not a surprise that many iOS hackers were busy in implementing their pre-existing exploits into the iPad 3. Fortunately, all of them have been successful until now. The first exploit is with the DevTeam who had posted photos of the root access in iSSH/Terminal and the Cydia installed on their new iPad. Another one is with the @i0n1c who was supposedly out of the JailBreak scene once Apple closed his long lasting untethered JailBreak
Not anymore, because he has another exploit for the iPad 3 JailBreak. Similar to MuscleNerd, who is a member of DevTeam, i0n1c also posted photos over twitter of his JailBroken iPad. In addition to both of these hackers, people who are close to the Cydia repo scene, Chpwn with @phoenixdev have also figured out a way to JailBreak the new iPad. As usual, photos have been posted by them on their twitter account. Undoubtedly, if any of these two exploits existed in future, we have a chance to rejoice our JailBreaking days frequently.

At this moment, when people in US and several other countries would have lined up to buy their new iPad, DevTeam has decided to give you updates over the current situation of JailBreak. There’s a whole lot more going in the JailBreaking community since the announcement of the iPad 3 and its launch dates. By simply looking at the tech specs of new iPad, DevTeam thinks that it would be just another hit. Here are some of the updates on JailBreak -
1) The method which was found to JailBreak the iPad 2, even before corona, is unexpectedly working on iOS 5.1 as well. This led the DevTeam to give a head start and dump the kernel when they would get the iPad 3 in their hands. Therefore, we could be a bit optimistic about the success in coming days.

Well, when we have the tethered Jailbreak for iPhone 3GS & iPhone 4, the support for the ultrasn0w on iOS 5.1 is still awaited. Not anymore because we now have an alternative for it until DevTeam come up with an update in few days. Needless to say, if you can’t wait to update your device on iOS 5.1 with preserved BaseBand, you can use this method for the ultrasn0w unlock. However, this doesn’t support the upgraded BaseBands.
The ultasn0w fixer 5.1 only supports the BaseBands given below -
1)Â 01.59.00
2)04.26.08
3)05.11.07
4) 05.13.01
5)05.12.01
6) 06.15.00 [click to continue…]
