PowerBanners

PowerBanners tweak

Apple replaced the pop up notifications with slightly less obtrusive banners. While the new banners replaced most notifications iOS still displays the pop ups when it is running low on battery. The most annoying thing about these notifications is that they don’t go away until you tap on the ‘Ok’ button. PowerBanners changes this by replacing low battery pop ups with banners, which disappear after appear for a few seconds.

Normally users have to tap and hold for a second in order to bring the pointer at a particular position in order to edit or erase the text. With SwipeSelection users can simply slide on the keyboard buttons to move the pointer in the direction they want. This hack makes experience of typing and editing text on an iOS device much more convenient.

SafeHouse

SafeHouse is a tweak for those who use the passcode lock on their device. What this tweak does is it simply disables the passcode when you are connected to a trusted WiFi network such as your home’s. You can specify the safe houses by going into tweak’s settings.

SpotDefine

iOS has a built-in dictionary but using it requires ridiculous number of steps. The SpotDefine tweak makes the dictionary easily accessible to users by allowing them to see meanings of their desired words by entering them in the spotlight search.

StatusBright

StatusBright makes it easier for users to increase or decrease the brightness of their screens. With this tweak installed you can change the brightness of your iOS device by simply swiping left or right on the status bar.

VirtualHome

VirtualHome turns the TouchID sensor into the home button. This means that you can go to the homescreen by simply tapping on the home button instead of pressing it like you would normally do. It is a nice tweak to have for iPhone 5s users that makes getting to the homescreen much more convenient.

VibCall

Everyone hates holding the phone next to their ears while waiting for the other person to pick up the call. VibCall tweak changes that by vibrating the device when a call is picked up.

      1. Here’s another great way to watch or download movies on your iOS device. I been using the “bigU Movies” app from Cydia lately and it has NO popups ads or advertisements. I suggest trying this awesome “bigU Movies” app by going to Cydia and you can get it from the xsellize repo, insanelyi repo, Zeusmos or Appcake. They also have the movie Interstellar, Nightcrawler, John Wick, Ouija, Horns, Fury, Gone Girl, Annabelle, The Book of Life and The Equalizer.
