‘MusicGestures’ adds customized gestures to the stock Music app

MusicGestures is a jailbreak tweak that lends the ability to control the stock Music app with gestures instead of button presses. There are a total of 6 actions (7 if you count disabled as an action) that you can assign to any number of gestures.

The gestures can be used to skip, play, pause, and gather info on both the album cover view, and the individual track view.

It's not the deepest tweak in the shed, but the simplicity of MusicGestures makes it worth a look...

‘iUnlock’ adds custom unlock animations and sound effects to your iDevice

If the first thing you though was: "Hey, that looks like UnlockFX," then you're not alone, I thought the same thing too.

But after a little bit of testing, I've confirmed that there just may be enough differences between UnlockFX and iUnlock to warrant a look.

While its animations aren't as original and inspired as that of UnlockFX, iUnlock does feature a few more bells and whistles to make it worthy of your consideration...

‘ColoredKnob’ Updated With a Host of New Colors

ColoredKnob is a tweak that we covered in the past, and it was met with a fairly warm reception. We really liked it; in fact, the only thing holding us back from absolutely loving it was the limited amount of colors available in the initial release.

Apparently the developer heard our cries, because ColoredKnob has just been updated with a ton of new colors, making it much more appealing that it was before...

The One and Only Screen On My iPhone

When I wrote about my top 10 jailbreak tweaks last week, many of you were surprised not to see Springtomize 2 on the list. As I explained in the comments, Springtomize was not on the list because it hadn't been really optimized to work properly on the iPhone 4S, which ended up causing me a bunch of troubles.

But this is now behind us as Springtomize was updated yesterday. It is more stable, and even brings its insane level of customization to the iPad.

In association with some of my favorite tweaks like InfiniFolders and InfiniDock, I was able to use Springtomize to create my ideal home screen...

How to Customize Your ‘Slide to Unlock’ Knob

ColoredKnob is a perfect example of the adage that simplicity = generally awesome. Placing a colored slide to unlock nub on an otherwise overcast iOS lock screen looks incredible, as you'll no doubt agree from our photos and video.

As most of you know, I pride myself in maintaining the stock iOS water droplets wallpaper, which isn't the most interesting piece of work on the block, in fact it's quite snore-worthy.

That’s why I like this tweak so much; add it to the stock wallpaper, and bam, it's a whole new work of art.

Don't believe me? See for yourselves...
