Notified 1.5 Pro hit Cydia last night and the biggest change can be seen right in the statusbar (or in the handy dandy screenshot above): icons! Lots of lovely little icons! Basically, what this means is that Notified Pro ($2.99) now provides the basic functionality of other jailbreak apps (or …

This is one of the few times where Cyssors beats Rock. The latest “update” to Rock has effectively turned Cydia into the one, true jailbreak App Store. We all knew that this was coming thanks to the announcements on Cydia and Twitter, but I’m actually surprised at how many of …

I’ve written about the extension a few times before, but Notified Pro ($2.99) is basically a complete re-imagining of the iOS notification system. It took a while to come into its own, but I think it’s one of the premier reasons to jailbreak the iPhone. There are already a few …

Ryan Petrich has released a new beta of Activator 1.4.3 on his private repo (http://rpetri.ch/repo) on Cydia. I’ve only had a few moments to check the changes out, but I’m loving the bit of extra power that Ryan has managed to add. There are now even more options for volume …

Home Page in Safari ($0.99 on Cydia) does exactly what its name states: it allows you to set the current website as your Safari home page. My first reaction to this was to wonder why nobody had thought of it before, but I think I can see why Apple and …

Developer Greg Hughes recently tweeted about his 20,000th sale of the excellent wireless syncing app, which is pretty kickass, when you consider that it retails for $4.99 on the Cydia Store. There’s also more good news to report: not only is Wi-Fi Sync 2.0 development going well, but over-the-air syncing …

Weathericon –the MobileSubstrate extension that lets you paint over most any weather app’s icon with a live forecast — has been updated to work with iOS 4. Best of all, it’s still a free download on Cydia or Rock. I’ve got it set to paint over the excellent Weathereye app …

Notified Pro ($2.99 on Cydia, more details here) was updated earlier this week with a pretty major feature: native mail notifications that show sender and subject. These notifications show up only if you use one of the current notification plugins (notificationbar, statusbar, or GriP). You can’t turn the mail pop-ups …

MusicBarExtended is a skinnable iPod controller for jailbroken iPhones that sits in the status bar until summoned by an Activator gesture. Once activated, MBEx acts a lot like the native pop-up music controls that have been around since iOS 1.x — except a lot more customizable. I bought this extension …

Multifl0w was making quite a few headlines yesterday, but a number of people (myself included) were still a little confused about how the whole thing worked. It’s been suggested by the developer that you use Backgrounder, but it isn’t exactly clear whether or not you need Backgrounder to really use …

Do you remember any or all of your favorite iPhone apps from back in the days before the App Store?  I certainly didn ‘t.  Until this morning, when I was working on a post on the upcoming iRovr app.  Searching for past posts on the popular social web app got …
