Cydia Goes Flat for iOS 7

As of this post Cydia has been updated to match the look and feel of iOS 7. Though sadly it still includes the skueomorphic iOS 6 icon. But fortunately there’s a fix at iTweakiOS.com/downloads.

Here’s a look at the new “fixed” icon:

Apple’s Remote App Gets iOS 7 Redesign

On Monday Apple finally updated it’s iOS remote app. Included in the update is a beautifully redesigned “now playing” screen along with media picker lists and device chooser.

UPDATED!!! iOS 7 Beta 4 Expected Today!

As has been rumored since the (partial) return of Apple’s dev. center, iOS 7 beta 4 is expected today at 10 AM PST. Many non reputable blogs have been saying that Apple will scrap beta 4 and jump to beta 5. if this were true then that would mean, if Apple is truly maintaining a bi-weekly beta release, that we won’t see beta 5 until next Monday. Of course this page will be updated when the next beta of iOS 7 is released.

UPDATE: iOS 7 Beta 4 is now live via OTA and the developer center!

REVIEW: Crazy Hedgy By CYBERTIME

Currently on sale for Valentine’s Day at 99¢, Crazy Hedgy for iOS by CYBERTIME. This game has amazing graphic qualities which could be seen to go toe-to-toe with console games. There are very little controls for this game beyond the tilt controls. You can tap the left of the screen to punch and the right to jump. Occasionally buttons appear on screen in which you must tap to dodge an incoming swinging log. Crazy Hedgy gameplay is a lot like Super Monkey Ball but, in my opinion, this game is much much easy to control in terms of acceleration. Also available is a lite version for those that want to try before you buy!

REVIEW: Fahrenheit Free

Developer: Ned Kubica
Price: FREE!!!
iOS Minimum Requirement: 3.2

Available now from developer Ned Kubica is Fahrenheit. This is your basic weather app and pleasantly so. Fahrenheit comes with features such as animated weather satellites for your region, recent Earthquakes and an Earth view. The one flaw I noticed is that when you open the app it asks to use your location but the app never updates the location and weather on screen. You have to manually change your location via a button at the bottom of the screen and input your zip code. So why ask to use locaion in the first place?! Also, in the free edition the update interval is 3 hours and the temperture at the time you open the app stays in a notification bubble atop the app’s icon and never changes or disaapears. If you tap on the screen anywhere inside the app you get an audio read out of the current temp, forecast and city name!

UPDATED!!! Sunday is “FUNDAY”! iOS 4.3.1 JB incoming!

Image via JailbreakZone.com

@MuscleNerd has confirmed that redsn0w, a jailbreak tool, has been set for a release today! The jailbreak is said to work on 4.3.1, no confirmation on support for 4.3! It is suggested that you open cydia and make a manual back up of all tweeks and apps that are important to you, that is if your going the restore route! Remember that no e.t.a. has been given other than today so dont start your nerdy bitching and moaning if its not released till sometime close to midnight! Remember it’s Sunday until 12:01 am! Also there is no word if running this over an already tethered 4.3 jailbreak will convert it to untethered! FINGERS CROSSED!!!

UPDATE:
via @iH8sn0w:

“Fun tip: Whenever @i0n1c’s untether comes, you can run it right over a tethered sn0wbreeze jailbreak. :)”

iOS 4.3 (official) Is Here! 2 Days Early.

iOS 4.3 has officially been released to the masses 2 days early. No word has been mentioned as to why but, is a good thing because that means a jailbreak will come that much faster. You can get the update as usual by hitting the update button on the summary tab for your respective iDevice or by checking felixburns.de or Jailbreak Zone! Be warned that the apple servers will be slammed for a better part of the day causing slower downloads so it would be wise to seek other sources for your iDevice. A full list of features and compatibility can be found at Apple.com

iOS 4.3 GM is here!

Yes you read correctly the GM/final release of iOS 4.3 is here. You can get it via Jailbreak Zone along with release notes. Remember you don’t need to have your devices UDID number registered on a dev account to use this firmware. The only requirement is iTunes 10.2 available here. Also, remember the dev-team has not released a jailbreak for this firmware as of this posting. So, if you rely on jailbreak or unlock give it a week or so and the jailbreak should become available.

APP REVIEW: Tiny Wings

Currently #1 in the AppStore , “Tiny Wings” is a sure fire hit! Who would have thought any app could knock “Angry Birds” off it’s block? Available for 99¢ in the AppStore this app will have your attention for hours. I myself find that many of the games in the AppStore seem to lose my attention or interest in playing after a few minutes. This is the first app I’ve played over and over.

“You have always dreamed of flying – but your wings are tiny. Luckily the world is full of beatiful hills. Use the hills as jumps – slide down, flap your wings and fly! At least for a moment – until this annoying gravity brings you back down to earth. But the next hill is waiting for you already. Watch out for the night and fly as fast as you can. Otherwise flying will only be a dream once again.”

The game has simple one button or one touch controls. One good hint to get good height is hold your finger on the screen until your bird gets to the middle of the downward slope, then release on the upward and a good distance can be easily obtained! As can be read in the AppStore description, the latest firmware supported is 3.0 so this app will definitely run on older iDevices. I highly recommend this app to all! NOW GO GET IT!
