Upcoming Semi-Restore tool to clean up your iOS install while retaining jailbreakability
A new tool has been announced Semi-Restore which should come as a huge relief to many jailbreakers. We’ve all been there, we jailbreak our devices, load them up with all the best jailbreak tweaks and apps only to be stuck with a sluggish iOS. The answer to this problem is to restore and only install the absolute necessities, but what do you do when the current iOS is not jailbreakable and your device cannot be restored without installing an unjailbreakable firmware?
Enter Semi-Restore, a tool which bills itself as a partial restore of your current firmware. This is a quick …
NowNow uses activator gestures to invoke Google Now – Siri alternative
A friend of mine jailbroke his iPhone 4 for the first time yesterday. Being the curious person he is, he started watching YouTube videos about jailbreak tweaks to see what he wanted to install. Not surprisingly, he came across a video detailing a Siri port. He asked me if it would work, and having heard plenty of horror stories about instability and security issues, I advised him to steer clear of any Siri ports. Instead, I started looking for Siri alternatives for him and came across NowNow. NowNow is a very simple jailbreak tweak that lets you assign an …

No evasi0n jailbreak release tonight, confirmed release date tomorrow February 4th
We have been patiently waiting all week for the release of the new iOS6 Evasi0n jailbreak, but it looks like we are going to have to wait one more day. It all started with a vague tweet from MuscleNerd who asked what the evad3rs team was planning for Super Bowl sunday. Rumors continued when someone noticed that all of the devices on the Evasi0n website had “3″ on the calendar app, leading people to believe that today, February 3rd, would be the release date.

World renowned iDevice hacker, @planetbeing, has taken to Reddit recently to rekindle hope in the iOS jailbreak community for an iPhone5/iOS6 jailbreak. In his recent post, planetbeing explains that he has an iPhone5 jailbroken on 6.0.2 currently and the jailbreak is still actively being worked on.

Custom iPhone carrier logo without jailbreak via CarrierEditor
Slowly, I am adding jailbreak functionality to my unjailbroken iPhone 5. With the recent release of FlashArmyKnife for my tethering needs and this new tool called CarrierEditor which allows for custom carrier logos on non-jailbroken devices, my phone is starting to feel as useful as my jailbroken 4S was.

Free iPhone tethering without jailbreak via FlashArmyKnife
Since acquiring my iPhone5, one of the things I have missed more than anything is being able to tether my cellular connection with other devices for free. With no jailbreak, my only option for tethering is to pay Verizon another $30/month for data that I am already paying for. Lucky for me, a new app has just made it’s way through Apple’s iTunes approval process.
This new app, FlashArmyKinfe, contains a hidden tethering function that allows you to tether your cell connection to any other ad-hoc capable device for free(aside from the app cost of course). The application does …
