iOSOpenDev Available For Download. Use Xcode To Develop Cydia Packages

The iOSOpenDev project has arrived. iOSOpenDev comes with Xcode templates for creating common types of jailbreak tweaks, including Activator listeners, command line tools, dynamic libraries, Notification Center widgets, SBSettings toggles, Siri AssistantExtensions and Mobile Substrate tweaks. It will even build .deb files of the completed projects for when a developer wants to submit to Cydia for publication.

The only problem is that this first release is still in alpha stage, and ( even the dev says so ) expect a lot of bugs. We can’t even install it. ( Sometimes you need to restart your Mac and everything will work just right ) Still, this is a great project which will allow ( mostly ) newbie devs to materialize great ideas ( hopefully ). Use it wisely…

For more info and download links to iOSOpenDev check out the official website

NOTE:

  • May need to manually install MacPorts – we already had MacPorts installed, still failed.
  • if headers are being dumped than that’ll add 5-10 minutes to the installer.
  • if install fails, run `port selfupdate` then `port -f install dpkg` in Terminal then try again. looks like MacPorts is the problem for most

HOW TO: Create An iOS5 WiFi Sync Shortcut. No Jailbreak Required

Since iOS 5 was launched with iTunes Wi-Fi Sync many people have been very happy with their iPhones, iPods and iPads syncing at night while they sleep. However, many times we would like to sync when the device is not plugged in or at a specific time. The amount of button presses to get to the Wi-Fi Sync is just annoying. Recent applications including IconProject and Switcher have reduced the number of button presses for many settings but not Wi-Fi sync, until now.

Free SBSettings-Like Toggles For Non-Jailbroken iOS Devices

A free JavaScript alternative to IconProject, allows you to create shortcuts to certain Settings.app sections for non-jailbroken iOS devices

After you jailbreak your device, the first thing you need to install it’s SBSettings. That’s a must and everybody knows that. Unfortunately, there’s no full jailbreak for iOS 5 at the moment, and there’s no jailbreak available for the iPhone 4S. But there’s a $0.99 SBSettings compromise called IconProject . Its a clever way to legitimately get things only jailbreak could previously provide, allowing you to create shortcuts for certain Settings.app sections.

There’s also a free JavaScript alternative to IconProject, and that’s what we’re going to talk about in this post. Head over the jump to see what IconSettings offers and how you can get it.
