A Must Have in Notification Center Tweaks [Jailbreak Tweaks]

There are quite a few Notification Center tweaks out there, some I'm fond of, and others not so much. But there's one I would definitely recommend to novice and advanced jailbreakers out there. This particular tweak is named Omnistat for Notification Center.

The tweak provides an at a glance display of useful and commonly searched-for information. Here are some screenshots:

Tapping the R.A.M. Pie Chart will free up as much space as possible without interfering with apps running in the background


Considering the iOS 5 Battery Percentage just won't show even if checked off in redsn0w, here's a good alternative :)


Tapping the "Wifi logo" will bring up a menu that allows you to turn on/off: Airplane Mode, Wifi, Bluetooth, and Location
Tapping the power button will allow you to: Kill BG Apps, Restart Springboard, Reboot and Shutdown


There's not much to do in this page except for view running processes and copy your UDID. This page would be most useful for iOS developers.



Swiping left or right will change the display from page to page. OmniStat for Notification Center is available from the BigBoss repo (a default repo for Cydia).

Happy Tweaking!

iOS 5 Untethered Jailbreak

It was a few days ago that the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak was was released both as a bundle from greenpois0n AND redsn0w (sorry sn0wbreeze, get with the program.)

This jailbreak is available thanks to @pod2g and his dedicated time and work done on this exploit.

Along with the chronic-dev and iPhone-dev team releases, the corona release is also available from cydia. (no need to re-jailbreak my friends ;) ).

You can jailbreak with either greenpois0n or redsn0w:
redsn0w: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w
greenpois0n: http://greenpois0n.com/?p=150

The process should be clearly explained within the apps but feel free to contact me at nolet.brandon@gmail.com if there are any issues.

Another method (redsn0w users only) that is possible is directly through cydia. Go to Cydia and search for "corona".

I advise restoring then rejailbreaking your iDevice just because it would give a clean slate. But it's not completely necessary.

Note: This jailbreak is only available for pre-A5 devices (iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, etc.) with iOS 5/5.0.1

Happy Untethered Jailbreaking!!

New Feature Found In iOS 5: Panorama Camera Mode [Update: It's up!]

In the early days of the iOS 5 beta, there were bits of code that showed a panorama feature. Now, Conrad Kramer has found a way to enable this feature.

 Why this wasn't added in the original iOS 5 release? We have no idea. However, Conrad intends to release a tool (jailbreak tweak) that would allow any user to easily enable it:

Here are a few screenshots:

and here's the image taken in panorama mode:

Note: The jailbreak tweak has now been released. It is called firebreak and is available in the BigBoss Cydia repository.
