    Siri Dictation

    Since the debut of Siri virtual assistance alongside the iPhone 4S, hackers have been trying hardly to port the feature to older iDevices. There are no hardware limitations but the only concern still that the service needs to connect to Apple servers to get it working.

    Siri’s dictation feature has now been made publicly available in Cydia for the iPhone 4, 3GS, Touch 4G and it actually works. Developer Eric Day has released a jailbreak tweak called Siri0us.

    “Siri dictation for your iOS 5 devices. No iPhone 4S keys/files required.”

    The tweak actually works but sadly with some Ads around.

    Add the source http://apt.if0rce.com on Cydia to get the tweak

    Panorama functionality in iOS 5

    After the first beta of iOS 5 was seeded to developers in June, a series of code strings suggested the company could implement a panoramic photo-taking feature in the OS, allowing users to shoot wider photos with a Panorama functionality allegedly similar to what third-party apps like 360 Panorama and Pano are already offering. As Apple kept seeding more betas and eventually released iOS 5 to the public, Panorama was nowhere to be found in iOS, suggesting Apple wasn’t ready to debut the feature yet.

    One Developer did a little digging around inside the camera app and discovered that editing a particular .plist file made the missing panorama mode to appear, however, a new Cydia tweak made available now, called Firebreak. to simply enable camera’s panorama mode:

    Firebreak via Cydia

    Requires iOS 5 or higher

    Requires Gyroscope capable device, iPhone 4, or newer, or iPad 2.

    Enable built-in panoramas on iOS 5 Camera app.

    No icons added to the homescreen. The panorama button is added to the Options menu in the Camera app.

    Once downloaded and installed you will have the panorama mode enabled.

  • JailbreakMe.com Transferred To Cydia Founder Saurik

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, Cydia, Hack, iPhone, Jailbreak, News No Responses

    After joining Apple as an intern, the well known hacker @comex is no longer attached (or does he) to the iPhone hackery team. He has recently sold JailbreakMe.com domain to @ConceitedApps and since then the website is no longer safe for iPhone jailbreak or it could be used to host iPhone malware.

    Today, it turns out, that Jay Freeman, a.k.a saurik is the new owner of the JailbreakMe.com domain, as the person who had initially bought it from ConceitedApps was kind enough to transfer it to Saurik.

    Yesterday, we learned that jailbreakme.com was sold in July; today, I talked with the new owner: he is actually very likable and awesome. ;P

    …and tonight, jailbreakme.com was transferred to me (convenient, as I host the site ;P); so, going forward, we no longer need to worry! 😀

    So its good to continue with the jailbreak without worries.

  • New Cydia Tweak Adds Speedometer to iPhone Maps App

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, Cydia, Hack, iPhone, Jailbreak No Responses

    Numerous noteworthy Cydia tweaks out there that let customize iPhone’s user interface but few are available for the Maps stock app. Here is a new tweak in Cydia, Speed for Maps, a simple tweak that adds a speedometer overlay, very unobtrusively, in the bottom corner of the stock Maps.app

    No new icon is added, but you can configure the output in the settings app. Changing between MPH, KPH, FPS, and even Knots.

    Speed for Maps is available free in Cydia. Go get it. This is one of the little things Apple should have thought of.
