A new Cydia app by the name of Gridlock has been released which enables iPhone and iPod touch users to freely position icons anyway they want on their homescreen. With Gridlock, you no longer need blank icon apps which has these ugly shadows and you have to be careful not to tap on them by mistake. It gives you full freedom arrange your apps any way you like, as can be seen in the screenshots below.
Finally! After a long wait, YourTube app has been updated to version 2.0, bringing full iOS 4.x support for jailbroken iOS devices including the support for iPhone 4 Retina Display and iPad. Not only can you now download YouTube videos on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, but you can now also import all your downloaded video in iPod app seamlessly! This new feature is dubbed as “Gremlin” and will also be available later for other Cydia apps such as Safari Download Manager and Attachment Saver.
The developers behind BiteSMS app have come up with a new app in Cydia called SwitcherPlus which enables you to switch between your multitaskable apps right from your iPhone or iPod touch’s lockscreen. This is the same native task switcher which comes with iOS 4.x for iPhone 4, 3GS and the 3rd-gen iPod touch. All what SwitcherPlus does is to enable the functionality in lockscreen so that you can use it without having to unlock your phone.
iOS 4 brought tons of new features to both the iPhone and iPod touch, the major one being multitasking or task switcher. But if you prefer Exposé style of multitasking in OS X, then Multifl0w is for you! We covered this app last year as well for iOS 3.x, but this new version which has just been released is compatible across all iOS based devices, including iPad on iOS 3.2.x and iPhone on iOS 4.x.
If your network carrier doesn’t allow you to tether your 3G or EDGE connection from your iPhone to say your notebook, TetherMe is for you. Unlike MyWi which costs around $20 bucks, TetherMe enables native tethering option on all iPhones from iOS 3.x up to iOS 4.0.1.
There are tons of useful and cool apps out there on the Cydia Store. A recent addition to them is Locktopus, a neat little app which allows you to password protect your apps on your iPhone or iPod touch, preventing unwanted access to your private information.
Signal is a new app available on Cydia for the iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G which displays all the information of cell towers around you on a map in great detail. It’s a nifty little utility which you might have always asked for but never got. The description of the app is as follows.
We all have been waiting for this!! And now that iPhone 4 jailbreak has been released to public, the much awaited update to My3G app has been released !! With this new updated version of My3G for iPhone 4, you can now make FaceTime video calls over your cellular 3G network which otherwise isn't possible. This in my opinion is a killer app and will alone be worth jailbreaking your iPhone 4 for.
