Jailbreak iPhone 4s

The 10 most useful programs to install after jailbreak iPhone OS 5.1.1 – Special Cydia

The 10 most useful programs to install after jailbreak iPhone OS 5.1.1 – Special Cydia. A few days since the release of the untethered jailbreak for iPhone OS 5.1.1, we want to offer an informative article which collected the ten most useful programs to install after installing Cydia 2.0 with Absinthe.

10. Locktopus

Locktopus is a tweak available on Cydia that allows you to protect, by your own password, launching applications installed on the iPhone. Thus, for example, we may block access to certain applications that contain private information, such as Messages, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, etc..

Locktopus Once installed and rebooted the device, in fact, we will not have to do is set a new password from the popup that opens automatically and choose which applications to “lock” and select the picture icon that will appear red for several seconds after pressing the app question. To access the blocked software will then need to enter your password.

Locktopus can be purchased from the Cydia Store for $ 2. Find the package in the repository of BigBoss.

9. Safari Download Enabler

One of the biggest limitations of Mobile Safari, the browser natively on iPhone OS this system is represented by the impossibility (almost total) to download files from the web and store them on iPhone. Fortunately, with the latest system updates, and by developing more complete applications, this problem was partially solved. Nevertheless, the native Apple browser does not allow you to download any file type on the iPhone. To solve this problem we think Safari Download Enabler.

With Safari Download Enabler can then download any file type on your iPhone. To receive and open the files downloaded from the network, you use an application such as iFile or GoodReader. This tweak replaces the Reading List button in Safari for iPhone OS with a button to download the files in a new window. Moreover, the tweak disables autoplay of video, allowing you to choose whether to download or not the device.

Safari Download Enabler is therefore an alternative to the more famous Safari Download Manager which is certainly more lightweight and easy to access. Moreover, unlike the second package, Safari Download Enabler can be downloaded for free from Cydia.

Safari Download Enabler requires iPhone OS 5 or later versions and is available in the repository of BigBoss.

8. iSHSHit

iSHSHit is a utility which allows the manual saving of certificates SHSH by the device itself, without resorting to computer software such as TinyUmbrella, Redsn0w or iFaith. It all happens very easily through a new app that is installed in the home of your iPhone.

Simply open the application, select model and software version of the iPhone and then press the “Save”. Within seconds you will save your precious SHSH certificates that can then be sent (or autoinviati) for email to be saved and safe places.

Recall that saving certificates SHSH is something of fundamental importance if you are interested to downgrade your iPhone. It is important to save the SHSH before Apple closes the signatures for the firmware in question, which usually happens after a few days since the release of an updated system software.

iSHSHit is available within the repository of BigBoss.

7. iBlacklist

iBlacklist is an excellent utility that allows you to “filter” messages and incoming calls so as not to be bothered by certain phone numbers. The application has an intuitive graphical interface and basic as it will allow you to ceare Blacklist and Whitelist where you can organize your phone numbers. With recent updates, iBlacklist is now able to also block FaceTime calls and messages sent via IMessage.

iBlacklist is available in Cydia via the BigBoss repository. The program is offered in two versions: a lite, free, and the other full, for a fee. The free version allows you to block only two numbers, the paid, however, does not have this limit and you may block any number of contacts.

6. 3G Unrestrictor

Currently, there are some applications of the connection restrictions: in fact, they can only operate over Wi-Fi. One of these is the inability for users who own an iPhone 4 or later with FaceTime to make video calls using the data network available to them by telephone operators.

With 3G Unrestrictor, simply select the applications that we want to “unlock” them for use even on 3G. This program also allows you to bypass the weight limit of downloadable applications from the App Store over 3G network (50 MB) and also lets you use photos and Streaming Backup icloud also via the cellular network.

Find Unrestrictor 3G in the BigBoss repo and you can buy at prezzzo of $ 3.99 .

5. PKGBackup

In different circumstances a full restore of the iPhone with iTunes can be a veritable panacea for our device, particularly if the latter was performed on the jailbreak and with notable drops in performance, instability or failure of certain applications or tweak . One of the features that users want some time to be natively integrated into Cydia is the ability to save and restore all installed packages. Although this option is not enabled by default, you should know that there is a very useful program that allows you to backup and restore of all data repositories Cydia and manually entered. His name is PKGBackup.

With PKGBackup you can save, locally or remotely (eg on Dropbox or Skydrive) the backup files on your iPhone. The program will scan the list of packages that you installed from Cydia and create a complete list with the names and settings of the latter.PKGBackup will also save web app that you have entered the home of your iPhone and Cydia sources added manually by the user. Optionally, the program could also make a backup of the contents of the applications, do that with the introduction of Documents in the Cloud has become virtually useless.

PKGBackup is a package that is installed directly from Cydia, you can find it in the BigBoss repo and you can buy at a price of $ 7.99. In this article you will find a complete guide to using PKGBackup.

4. iFile

iFile is one of the better known and appreciated in Cydia. This is a very complete file manager (too full), which offers a range of features to end users for archiving and managing your files. With this program you can navigate the system directory, change the attributes of files and folders, create zip archives, save or import documents to external media via Camera Connection Kit for iPad and much more.

Another important feature of the program is the ability to view files of many formats.Supported formats for audio and video:  mov, mp4, m4v, mpv, 3gp, acc, amr, ALAC, WAV, PCM, MP3 . It also supports  PDF , with the function to jump to a specific page by typing its number. They can be viewed via Safari files  Word, Excel, Powerpoint and HTML . Transferring files from your computer is using Wi-Fi, via Web Server, enter the IP address in your browser.

iFile can be downloaded for free via the BigBoss repository. To unlock some unique features (such as research into system directories, in-app playback of audio and video, etc.) will need to purchase a license directly from the application.

3. NCSettings

If you enjoyed SBSettings – which we’ll just – you know that NCSettings is the perfect evolution of this historic program. NCSettings is a widget for the Notifications Center, which incorporates, in features, the most famous SBSettings toggle integrating a number of useful Notifications to the Centre of your jailbroken iPhone updated to iPhone OS 5.0 or later versions.

NCSettings is a must-have addons for your jailbroken iPhone. If you want to insert in the center of the convenient toggle notifications on your iPhone with iPhone OS 5.0 or later, this widget is definitely for you. With this widget you can in fact so efficient access to all essential settings of your iPhone, all without leaving the application you are using and without the necessity of having to bear the Settings.

2. SBSettings

Although it may seem over (after years of business, we may as well be), SBSettings BigBoss continues to improve, that despite his age still goes right to join the list of the ten most useful tweak for IOS 5.1.1.

SBSettings is a program that offers many features to users. Many of these are now accessible, perhaps more pleasant from the aesthetic point of view, with NCSettings, while others of the proposals exclusive of SBSettings. In addition to managing several features of the Apple devices through a dedicated window or from the Notifications Center, SBSettings provides IP address information and data relating to the iPhone WiFi connections, gives the space and the disk and the free RAM on the device . Moreover, in the “More”, you can choose the mode of activation of the tweak, the themes to be used (on Cydia are different themes for SBSettings, the illustration above is “iRetina”), and manage applications to be included in dock of SBSettings.

Also by applying the “More”, users can change the settings of SBSettings, hide application icons (for example, if you hide the application used BiteSMS Messages) and disable or enable extensions of Mobile Substrate, particularly useful in case you want to temporarily disable a tweak without uninstalling it completely from Cydia.

SBSettings is available within the BigBoss repository and can be installed via Cydia.

1. Activator

Activator is a tweak that can not miss – and in most cases never fails – on a jailbroken device. Not to be missed, not because it is missing, in most cases, a package of essential underpinning other tweak distributed through Cydia.

Activator uses a system of libraries that allows to reproduce the actions of the system and not through the use of gestures or by pressing the physical buttons of the iPhone. Users can freely assign each gesture action: for example, by holding the iPhone status bar, you can choose to launch the Syrians, or press and hold the key to increase the volume you can get a screenshot. The functional customization offered by Activator is unique in its kind and is unlikely to be matched by other developers in the near future.

As you can see from the video suggested, the operation of Activator is quite simple, although the program is quite powerful and feature rich. Also report the possibility of automatic integration (only a few tweaks) Activator with the settings of certain programs.

Activator is developed by Ryan Petrich and is available free for download within the repository of BigBoss in Cydia.

Conclusions

Our selection is limited to essential programs and to tweak the most useful that we recommend that you install after jailbreak iPhone OS 5.1.1. All other customizations, especially those of a graphic-aesthetic (as we refer to tweak Barrel, Unfold, DashboardX, IntelliScreenX) can still be installed or ignored as needed, but the ten programs mentioned in this article are almost a must for all users who have jailbroken your device with Absinthe 2.0 and want to fill the few gaps in the system of IOS.

Remember that you can run the untethered jailbreak for iPhone OS 5.1.1 by following the guide that we published in this article . For the jailbreak you need a PC / Mac, Absinthe 2.0 and logically an IOS device updated to firmware 5.1.1 (iPhone OS 5.1 is not supported).
