I definitely notice a speed improvement on page rendering with Nitrous in Chrome and any in app browser. Of course this only applies to sites with JavaScript, but there are plenty of those.

For fun tests just run this with and without nitrous enabled in Chrome

having Google Maps (or anything else that uses Location Services) open will drain the battery at something like 1% every 30-45 seconds with my iPhone 5.
That sounds broken. I see nothing close, not even 1/5th of that drain rate, on my 5 or my wife's 4s.

That odd because I definitely see it on both my old 5 and my new out of box ones. I wish it didn't drain so fast but it definitely always has for me.

I think it depends on what app is using it and how. I turn my services off when I'm home because ypically I don't need them, but if I keep them on, and use my phone as I would when they are off, I will kill the phone in about 1/3 of the time. YMMV

Are there any apps that can sort of move where Carrier, LTE, and my Bars are located? Conversely can you remove the time from the top bar?



Also the spacing between that logo and the reception bars are driving me nuts.

Got into a bike wreck yesterday and destroyed my old iPhone 4. Went and bought a brand new 5 from Best Buy and discovered its's running 6.0. I jailbroke it with no issues, but it's my understanding that I can't upgrade to 6.1 or 6.2 if I found a custom IPSW as they've stopped signing those. Truth?

Regarding the clock, look for CleanStatus in Cydia if you want to remove it from the App Screen, and Clock Hide if you want to remove it from the Lock Screen.

Weird. Works fine for me. Maybe make sure you don't have any other tweak that fucks around with the status bar clock. I used to have issues with having some tweaks overwriting each other.

1) Is there a way to get an equalizer that works for all applications, not just Music.app? Particularly, for Spotify.

2) Is there a way to prevent vibrate/alert tones on a single SMS conversation? I'm part of a big group with a lot of cross-talk and noise I don't need to concern myself with a lot of the time. I don't want texts in that conversation to disturb me with tones/vibrates but I still want them for all my other possible texts. Is this even possible yet?

No, it's a universal keyboard replacement in Cydia. Type in "Touchpal" in Search and actually hit the enter button/search - It's a Chinese (IIRC) program with a Chinese name in its listing so Cydia's auto-complete won't show it in the suggested auto completes like normal.

Stupidest question for a tweak ever, but does anyone know of something that will make the iPad make a noise when I swipe the screen anywhere? Or during a specific app I guess, I'd like to play around with my drawing apps having audio feedback because I really like how it feels on the 3DS despite having kind of a funky touch screen.

Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



I made a .deb file of the newest update to DataDeposit (1.0.5), and is not available yet on Cydia. The latest on Cydia (1.0.3) was broken for me and uploads would just give me an error.

What was weird to me was that the dev said on twitter that he doesn't own a jailbroken iphone/ipad, so he provided an untested .ipa for the update that he wanted people to install with ifile (which does not work with ifunbox either).

Anyway, you can get it here.

Nope, it's on the list for requested apps though. I could probably do a really simple version and pop in into iFunBox, but, :effort:

Never tried, but iFunBox should be able to navigate to wherever the podcasts are stored and copy them to your PC.

There is. I don't remember how I hid the magnifying glass. I think it might be because I have NoSpot installed.

For the dots, you can manually make a theme and then use Winterboard to apply it.

Actually, you know what? I just went ahead and made it. Download this, un-rar it, and then stick it in the Themes folder. Not sure how to get there in iFile, but with iFunBox, go to Raw File System > Library > Themes. You can drag the folder from your computer to the right pane. Then it should show up in Winterboard.

Enjoy!

There's also a tweak appropriately called "No Page Dots" that doesn't require winterboard.

I actally used a theme that had about 7 different options, so that I could grab the base stuff, and make my own images. Since I like the dots, I didn't bother to look for a No Dots tweek.

Thank you both! I will try NPD first, then the Winterboard theme as I try to avoid Winterboard and stick to tweaks as it can mess with my main theme.
