Is there a tweak that turns off 3G voice but allows wifi? Airplane mode turns off everything and doesn't allow usage of wifi. Why I'm asking - I don't want to yank out my SIM card when I go to Canada to avoid exorbitant roaming costs, but still be able to use wifi wherever available. My 6+ is not unlocked and I don't want to buy an international SIM card.

Just activate airplane mode then turn wifi back on. No tweak needed!

I've noticed that if I get a text while I have the messages app open, it doesn't give the usual sms tone. Sometimes after sending or receiving a text, I'll just put the phone back in my pocket without exiting the app. Then, if someone send another text, I don't always hear it.
Is there a tweak (or perhaps just a setting I've missed) that ensures I'll always get a text tone, even if I leave the app open?

Is there a tweak that works like this: press the home button to return to the home screen; if not at #1 home screen, press again to get there; then press home button again to turn off screen. In other words, when at #1 home screen an additional press will turn off screen.

Instead of having to use the power/sleep button to turn off screen. Will Activator do it?

EDIT: Yes, Activator will work.

ipad2 jb on ios 7.12

i have a folder of ios applets - calendar, clock,camera, etc. can anyone recommend a tweak so that when I pick an ios applet to run from the folder, it closes the folder automatically afterwards?

as it stands now, i have to manually close the folder each time.

FolderCloser or FolderEnhancer will do this.

Hello!
Quick request . .
Been searching for awhile on the web and come across a few apps that do similar things but not the exact process.

What it does: Takes a photo using the front camera every time you unlock the phone.
In detail description: It's like the app IcaughtU, but instead of capturing an image when an incorrect password is entered, it saves a photo to the camera roll every time the phone is correctly unlocked.

Thanks!

folderenhancer was it! thank you!

what happened is this:

originally, I had purchased folderenhancer when my ipad2 was jb'd on ios6.x. last year, due to a medical condition I suffered some short-term memory loss (among some other issues) and could no longer remember the security code to unlock my ipad. tried for over a month putting in various numbers with no luck...my sister had to take it to a nearby Apple store and they wipe/restored it to ios7 (at the time, that was the current ios version).

when the Pangu jb was discovered, I of course jb'd it immediately. once I entered 'folderenhancer' in Cydia, it pulled up my purchases and voila...all is good now.

thank you again!

maybe take a look at Activator. one of the triggers is when the device is unlocked, I think.

Anything to get the iPad pro keyboard on an iPad Air 2?

I used upscale to get the resolution of the pro, but the standard air 2 keyboard doesn't fill the space, and it hurts my OCD.

I need a tweak to get drop shadows on the icons on the home screen. Best tweak to do this? I want more conservative, light shadows like what was on iOS 6.

IconOmatic will do this and has full customizable dynamic shadows.
Okay, cool. Thanks.

Also is there a tweak that does the same thing as Bloard? I really was looking forward to using that tweak whenever I got the chance to jailbreak my iPad mini 2/iPhone 6 running 9.2, but I saw it causes Cydia to crash. I don't want a third party keyboard or anything, just the stock dark one.

Came across this screenshot a couple minutes ago. What tweak are they using that changes the signal dots at the top? The empty dots are just dimmer, not empty circles. Looks cleaner imo. I don't even care about the tweak that is being showcased right in the middle of the screen lol. Just the dots.

Never mind I found it. It's part of a theme called "Ayeris"

I kinda like the theme but I'd prefer not to use one at all, I want a more faithful jailbreak setup, just minor little changes. I only want the signal dots that come with it not all the new icons and stuff lol. It doesn't look bad though, I'll admit that. May end up using it some day.

What it does:
It allows you to make your own theme. Kinda. it basically found the name of the icon in your phone and created a folder so you could put the image you wanted into your own custom theme for spring board. Does that make sense? I used to have it like 2 years ago. Any help?

Is there a tweak the functions like the field test app so you don't have to constantly dial for it?

Also, a tweak that lets you more easily switch between signal bars and dbm reading? Right now if you don't close field test via holding the home button on the power down screen, it switches to bars and stays that way... Annoying.
