With the release of the iOS 5.0.1 firmware, came a “nice” notification bubble over the Settings.app. This notification is trying to get users to update their iDevices firmware to latest version currently available. Though this may be a nice reminder for users who are not Jailbroken, for those of us who are, this pesky notification can become annoying.

Now, while you can Jailbreak your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad on the iOS 5.0.1 firmware. The main reason one should not update to the iOS 5.0.1 firmware is because when an untethered Jailbreak is released, those who updated to iOS 5.0.1 will most likely not be able to take advantage of it. This is because Apple patched a critical userland exploit that developers were going to take advantage of to bring us the first iOS 5 untethered Jailbreak.

Getting back on track, if the notification bubble on the Settings.app is annoying you, you will be glad to know that a recently released Cydia tweak will help you get rid of this annoyance. This Cydia tweak is called noOTA badge and upon installing it will clear the over the air (OTA) software update badge currently on the Settings.app.
