Filippo Bigarella has made quite the name for himself in the Jailbreaking community by developing tweaks such as Springtomize, LivelyIcons, and PasswordPilot Pro. Now he is looking to also make a name for himself in the official Apple App Store. Bigarella has just released an application called Balances that is an extremely simple finance app with a [...]

The lockscreen is an iOS feature that is frequently debated. In one sense the lockscreen is extremely useful because it provides a place for notifications to pool, and of course, it gives you the ability to enable a passcode to make your device more secure. In some cases, however, the lockscreen can simply become an [...]

A few days ago we told you about a Cydia tweak by the name of ActiveDock that makes the dock on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad more like the dock found on OS X (in regards to functionality, not aesthetics). Well, if you were looking forward to the tweak’s release you will be glad [...]

ActiveDock is a new Cydia tweak being developed by Filippo Bigarella and Surenix, which are both well known for popular Cydia tweaks/themes. Surenix for his Ayecon theme and Filippo Bigarella for tweaks like Springtomize 2 and recently LivelyIcons. Essentially what ActiveDock hopes to do is make the iOS dock more like the Mac OS X dock in the [...]

It has been great to finally install all of the tweaks I have been longing to try on my iPhone 5. It was actually a shock finally Jailbreaking again after such a long period of time using a stock device. It is amazing how you get used to putting up with stock iOS and then [...]

A couple of days ago we told you about a new tool called StifleStand released by Filippo Bigarella, that would allow you to put the Newsstand app in a folder. Although this has already been possible with various Cydia tweaks, it has not been possible without a Jailbroken iOS device. The great aspect to StifleStand is that [...]

Filippo Bigarella released a tool called StifleStand earlier today that will allow non-Jailbroken iOS devices to hide the Newsstand app in a folder. Before Bigarella created StifleStand it was not possible for those who owned a non-Jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to put the Newsstand app in a folder to conceal it. Now that it is possible however, in [...]

The Newstand app has its userbase divided evenly – there are those that use it, and there are those that do not use it (pretty simple concept, huh?). The problem is, those that don’t use the Newstand app have no way to move it into a folder to hide it. Apple has forced users to keep [...]

Filippo Bigarella, the homebrew developer behind the popular—and unfortunately often-pirated—Cydia tweak Springtomize 2, has posted an example of how not to get support from independent developers. Here’s the message that an iPhone owner emailed to Bigarella through Cydia’s developer support and reporting feature: “It crashes when I respring the app with the cracked version.” The [...]

We already reported today that Grant Paul would not be updating Spire for devices running iOS 5.1.1. Despite the fact that Spite apparently works with iOS 5.1 (well, as well as it ever works), porting Spire to iOS 5.1.1 is apparently impossible due to Apple encrypting Siri in iOS 5.1 onwards. With this in mind, we are compiling [...]
