How to Get Banner Notifications/Lock Screen Alerts For Track Changes With MusicBanners [Jailbreak Tweak]
Ryan Petrich has released a new jailbreak tweak called MusicBanners, which displays notifications for track changes in Notification Center and lock screen.
Ryan Petrich has released popular jailbreak apps and tweaks such as ProSwitcher, Rotation Inhibitor, DeepEnd, Clippy, DisplayOut etc and had also worked with chpwn to legally bring Siri (Spire) to non-iPhone 4S devices.
He recently also released a new jailbreak tweak called Belfry that allowed users who had jailbroken their iPads to legally install stock iPhone apps such as Weather, Clock, Calculator, Voice Memos, Compass and Stocks to Apple’s iPad using the same technique that was used to legally bring Siri to non-iPhone 4S devices to the iPad.
MusicBanners is similar to the NowListening jailbreak tweak, but in addition to the banner notifications, MusicBanners also shows alerts for track changes in the lock screen. MusicBanners also shows the album art in the notification, which gives it a nice touch.
iPhone 4S And iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak Progress, Unsigned Code Now Running On Device
Up until six days ago, it had been an amazing 517 days since legendary hacker, PlanetBeing, had last treated his fans to a tweet.
He broke that silence on the 11th January with the revelation that, with the help of Cydia founder Jay Freeman, he had managed to escape the Apple Sandbox. For those who haven’t been following the long running A5 jailbreak saga, PlanetBeing was drafted in by developer Pod2g to be an integral member of the jailbreaking ‘Dream Team’.
If you are an iPhone 4s or iPad 2 owner then no doubt the recent news coming from the development teams involved with provide a modicum of comfort to you.
The initial announcement that a potential bug had been found came in November 2011, which represents a nine week pursuit of liberation for both the A4 and A5 devices. within that nine week period, significant progress has been made, and although to some community members it may seen like an eternity, the truth is that the landmarks that have been reached in that time are quite impressive, considering that developer Pod2g was working alone for the most part.
Email More Than Five Images At Once From The Stock Photos App On iPhone Using ‘Mail More Photos’
The photos application that comes as stock on Apple iOS devices is probably one of my favorite apps on my iPhone and iPad.
I know, it seems like a bizarre statement to make considering the amount of amazingly innovative and beautiful applications that exist amongst the 543,000 on the App Store. However, the simple nature of Photos App, mixed with its functionality and deep integration into the operating system has made me fall in love with it.
But, as we all know, falling in love is easy, it is human nature after all, but the difficult part is remaining in love. I am now onto my fourth iPhone and second iPad and there is a consistent, niggling little gripe that I have with the Photos App that could have produced a ripple in our otherwise perfect relationship. I am far from being an accomplished photographer, but I do love taking photographs.
Whether it is a shot of a loved one (usually my dog), or a quick snap of a shop window when I am out and about, my Photos App is full of a random collection of images. Imagine my distress when I was out of the country, trying to email some photographs home and my beloved Photos Application let me down by refusing to allow more than five images to be selected for emailing.

Add Song Lyrics To Your App Switcher For Now Playing Song On iPhone With This Cydia Tweak
We’ve all been there – half way through a bedroom ballad, wailing happily into the hairbrush, and suddenly, forget the lyrics.
Ok, so maybe that’s just me. But still, it can be a pain when lyrics are forgotten, and it’s certainly annoying when others loudly and proudly bellow the wrong lyrics, especially when they maintain they were ‘sung’ correctly.
Although there are jailbreak tweaks which allow song lyrics to be viewed on iOS devices (if you download your music illegally, you’ll see them half the time anyway so I hear), SwitcherLyrics, developed by the apparent jack-of-all-trades DJKira, takes a rather different approach to the general lockscreen-or-nothing lyrical display.
