Enable FaceTime and iCloud over 3G on 5.0.1 using 3G Unrestrictor [Cydia Tweak]

How to Enable FaceTime and iCloud over 3G on 5.0.1? The best thing about jailbreaking your iPhone is that it will break all the restrictions which Apple has imposed on their iOS version. One of such a limitation about the Apple’s legendary FaceTime, iCloud and Photo stream Programs is that they can only be used over Wi-Fi. So, you can access them only if you a Wi-Fi, But thanks to the developers over Cydia who made the 3G Unrestrictor which will allow users to use these apps over 3G.

According to Official 3G Unrestrictor Website:
3G Unrestrictor allows you to go around the iPhone's limitations and restrictions of not being able to use some applications like FaceTime, iCloud Backup, Photo Stream or high quality YouTube videos while on a mobile internet connection like 3G or EDGE as well as many other things.
3G Unrestrictor, Actually fool the apps to assume that you are on Wi-Fi Network instead of 3G so that you can access all the apps via 3G. It is upgraded to the latest version which adds the support for iOS 5 and higher. Now, what 3G Unrestrictor can do? Here’s is the list of the apps which can be used via 3G.

So, this is a must have application for every iPhone or iPad who can’t use these amazing features over 3G. This app comes in two versions. If you want to upgrade from previous 3G Unrestrictor version, than you can get this app only for $0.99 only while new users will have to spend $3.99 in the Cydia store.

Browse Cydia without your iPhone


Sometime ago I came across a posting about Cydia browsing without your phone.
I saved the web links and always went there because it makes it easier for me on a computer instead of on my phone then install on my phone after I find what I want.

Recently reformatted my laptop and loosing the links, I searched for the links again. I am putting them here so I wont loose them again.
Enjoy.

Overflow


This brand new Tweek just came out today a few hours ago.
I have been waiting for this since I have read about this Tweek long ago.

Give your dock a little style!

Overflow lets you add a dynamic 'coverflow'-espue style to your dock, all while keeping things both elegant and fun to use.

Overflow also takes full advantage of chpwn's Infinidock, and animates when you scroll your dock, so be sure to purchase Infinidock in the Cydia Store to add that awesome you've always wanted!
Works with or without Infinidock, although for a dynamic Coverflow effect to work as well as scrolling on the dock, Infinidock is required.

Works best with 5 or 7 icons!

Enable / Disable from Settings app.

This is iOS 4.2 - 5.x Compatible

Update, I did buy and download this app. On my iPhone it does not work at this time and resprings into safe mode.

I contacted Adam Bell and explained what happened, His reply says it is not compatible with Springtomize and ScrollingBoard.

I am not sure when he will update it to be compatible, Perhaps later.

No Battery Reflection



Ever wanted to know if you could rid of that reflection on the battery screen?

There is a Tweak for that.
It's called - No Battery Reflection. It makes the image better I think. It is compatible with iOS 5.01


Try it out. Also see it here.
What do you think of it?

iDemo



I love the program iDemo. attimes the font is too small and i like to use iDemo to make it larger to see what i am doing, of course the phone must be jailbroken.

Must add ScreenSplitr from Cydia.

Then must download iDemo from plutinosoft.com/idemo.

After the install run, it runs in Demo mode until it is purchased.
I bought mine back in 2010 and love it.


It is iOS5 compatible and does work on wifi so no cable needed unless you want to.

Tell me how you like it.

Helpers - Diskaid, and iPhonebrowser


I always have the need to install things or alter themes as i like, or just change the images and put them back on the iPhone.

I have apps that are not able to get from Cydia anymore and have saved them from before.

Well with a few free tools available I have been able to reinstall them and also save to and from the iPhone.

One of them I use to be able to get to work, Seems it's a trick now to get it to work and since I have redone my laptop now it just crashes.
If you want to try to see if it works for you then try the iPhonebrowser

The new one I am using now is more friendly. It's called Diskaid I like it better.

Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1

I’m sure you’ve all heard the big news today of the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1.

For those of you with your iPhone 4s or iPad 2 unfortunately this doesn’t work for you, but for the rest of us, YAY!

Just head over to http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ and download your jailbreak of choice.

If you have a Mac, Pwnagetool is available. If you don’t need to preserve baseband or any of that fun stuff just grab yourself the new redsn0w and your jailbreak will be as easy as a few pushes of buttons.

My iPad was still on 4.3.3 or something so I upgraded to 5.0.1. My iPhone was already on 5.0.1 so it was really simple running redsn0w.

Now that my devices are updated and Cydia is installed i’m ready to download the tweaks i’ve been missing for months! Oh wait… the servers are hammered right now so we probably aren’t going to be able to download anything for now :-/

If you aren’t on 5.0.1 yet you should upgrade now before Apple releases an update!What repo are you going to add when you jailbreak?

The first one I always add is repo.insanelyi.com !
