When Google Maps landed as an iPhone app on the App Store, jailbroken iPad users had no problem running the app full screen thanks to an app called “FullForce”. Although this is something that carriers might frown upon, jailbreak tweak TetherMe provides a way to enable the option on all carriers for one-time fee of 99 cents. TetherMe-Ĭarriers in some countries charge extra on monthly bills to enable iOS’s Personal Hotspot feature for sharing your iOS device’s data connection. The ability to view multiple apps at once and resize windows is something that is already possible for jailbroken iPad users thanks to a tweak known as “Quasar” for true multitasking and app window management. Something that is always a debate regarding the future of iOS is whether Apple should implement a way to run apps side by side. Thankfully, the jailbreak community came to the rescue with this “MapsOpener” tweak that allows you to do exactly that. With over 270,000 active users at any one time on evasi0n today, we put together a list of some of the most interesting and useful tweaks that caught our attention in recent months:Īlthough the introduction of the Google Maps iOS app relieved some frustrations in the face of Apple’s criticized Maps app, users still couldn’t use Google’s offering as the default maps app on iOS when using Siri or opening URLs.

However, there are still many things you can do with jailbreak tweaks that aren’t possible on non-jailbroken devices. Over the years, many features that were once jailbreak-only made their way to iOS or via third parties through the App Store. (Note: Some people are having issues with the default Apple Weather app after install.) If you have not jailbroken an iOS device in a while, you might wonder what all the excitement is surrounding today’s launch of the evasi0n jailbreak tool for iOS 6.
