Theming your jailbroken iOS device is certainly possible, but it’s never been remarkably straightforward or simple. Theme it is a new (and free) Cydia app that brings easy theming to jailbroken iOS devices.
Jailbreakers out there should already know pretty well that when you’re updating to new iOS firmware, you’re kissing your jailbreak goodbye. Now, thanks to Saurik, Cydia’s newest feature lets you re-download those apps without a problem.
iOS: If you like the elegant flow of flipping through apps as “cards” in WebOS, Multifl0w brings that ability to jailbroken iOS devices.
AirPlay is awesome but it could be more awesome if it worked with more iOS apps. TUAW recently discovered that a feature that allowed other apps to use AirPlay was disabled by Apple. But! If you insert one single line of code, AirPlay would work across all apps (like VLC and Safari).
Heads up, developers: The iPhone Dev Team announced this weekend that Redsn0w 0.9.6b3 is now available. The update supports iOS 4.2.1 and will allow developers to bypass Cydia, which was broken in 4.2.1.
