BetterCenter is a simple new iPad jailbreak tweak, which allows you to adjust the length of the Notification Center pane, both in landscape mode, and in portrait mode.
Extending BetterCenter's slider bars to their maximum extent, results in a full length Notification Center on the iPad, and we love the look of it.
Take a look at our video walkthrough of BetterCenter in action...
The Lock screen has been the subject of many jailbreak tweaks over the years, and it continues to be just as popular as it was in the beginning.
Case in point — LockWee — a tweak that allows you to swipe aside your Lock screen clock to reveal various Notification Center widgets of your choosing. Full details on video ahead...
There's a new widget available that allows you to initiate a Cydia search via a Notification Center widget, and it's appropriately titled Cydia-SearchNC.
This free download can be enabled via the Notifications panel in the Settings app, and doing so creates a handy search field directly in Notification Center.
Check out our video walkthrough that showcases how this jailbreak widget performs, after the break...
Are you looking to take Lock screen boot logo animations to the next level? If so, then AnimateAll is a new tweak that's worthy of your attention.
AnimateAll is a follow-up (an actual outright replacement) to a tweak that we covered in the past called AnimateLockscreen. The prior tweak only allowed you to add boot logo animations to your Lock screen, while AnimateAll goes the extra mile and adds the Home screen and Notification Center into the mix as well.
Now that iOS 6 has official built-in widgets for both Twitter and Facebook updates, wouldn't it be nice to be able to replicate those same widgets on iOS 5? Apparently that's the same thought the developer of iOS 6 Twitter Widget had when creating his tweak. This widget, as its name so plainly alludes to, allows you to have an exact replica of the iOS 6 Twitter widget on lesser firmware.

MountainCenter, the jailbreak tweak that brings OS X Mountain Lion's Notification Center to the iPad and iPhone, is now available on Cydia's BigBoss repo for $2.99.
While some may balk at that price point due to another similar tweak — MountainLionCenter — being available free of charge, Mountain Center provides you with more options, and support for devices other than the iPad. Be sure to check out our full walkthrough of MountainCenter for the entire scoop.
Which tweak will you be using? Let us know what you think in the comments section.
Mountain Center is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that brings an OS X Mountain Lion like Notification Center to iOS. Now if this all seems a bit familiar to you, that's probably because you've seen or read about MountainLionCenter, which performs a similar action.
Oddly enough, it seems that both tweaks were being developed around the same time, completely independent of one another, hence the overlapping of functionality. But there is good news, because the tweaks differ enough to warrant giving them both a separate look.
Mountain Center adds a few options that you won't find in MountainLionCenter, like the ability to invoke Notification Center from either side of the screen, and more. Take a look at our full video walkthrough inside...
Clockify is a recently released jailbreak tweak that takes the fundamentals of Live Clock, and gives it a modern iOS 5 update. With Clockify you can add a live functioning clock on your Home screen, along with adding world clocks to the Lock screen and Notification Center.
There's a fairly impressive amount of customization to be had with Clockify, as you'll no doubt notice in our hands-on video walkthrough inside...
We touched on this feature a bit earlier, and now we're getting the chance to check it out for ourselves. Here it is, the new Do Not Disturb option in iOS 6.
As the name implies, the Do Not Disturb feature will silence all incoming phone calls and other alerts from pretty much anyone, or app, you tell it to...
Along with adding deep Facebook integration into iOS 6, Apple has also implemented a new Update bar in Notification Center. The bar allows users to quickly compose a new tweet or status update.
While this may not be the third-party widgets we were all hoping for, it will certainly prove useful. Now you'll be able to post to both Twitter and Facebook, without ever having to open their respective apps...
Taking a cue from the jailbreak community, Apple has added the ability to update your social networking accounts from directly within iOS 6's Notification Center.
Using two new buttons in NC, users will be able to post new status updates to Facebook, and new tweets to Twitter, all without ever leaving the drop-down menu...
Apple's initiative to bring several highly notable iOS features "back to the Mac" is one of the hallmarks of its upcoming release of OS X Mountain Lion. One of the most touted iOS features to make its way to Mountain Lion is Notification Center. Notification Center on the Mac works similar to the way it does on iOS, with a few noted differences.
One of the main differences is the location of Notification Center — on the Mac it is docked and hidden on the right-hand side of the screen. Wouldn't such change be welcomed to Notification Center on the iPad? I say this, because in its current form, it's placed square in the middle of the screen no matter the orientation. In fact, it's sort of like an afterthought.
MountainLionCenter is the upcoming jailbreak tweak that plans to change this, placing it more in line with the way Notification Center works on OS X Mountain Lion. For more details, watch our full video walkthrough inside.
