This simple little mod changes your “Slide to Unlock” text to “Good morning, Douglas” or other greetings based on the time of day. The developer has been rolling out updates that include typing in your own custom greetings. I always love to have custom text on my lockscreen. It’s a great way to get people interested in jailbreaking when they see it and ask how I changed it. In the settings you can do things like hide the chevron > or hide all punctuation. You can, of course, change your name. This app is free and currenly doesn’t work on the 64bit iPhone 5S or iPad. [Read more…]

Photo Blackground – Change Photos Background From White to Black
With iOS 7 Apple went all new age on their design. Lots of circles, thin fonts and pastels and white coloring. Thats all fine but one thing that is a bit weird is in the Photo app.
When you are swiping through pictures, the background is white.
If you tap the screen to remove the toolbars and buttons, the background is black.
I really prefer black and so this is a great mod to your Photos app. This makes the background always black. Unfortunately the tool bar and buttons are still white but it’s at least headed in the right direction. This mod is free in Cydia. [Read more…]
Nexa & Prime – 2 Clean Fonts for BytaFont
BytaFont is a great way to make a huge change to the look of your iPhone.
You can change the fonts of your Dialer, Calculator, Keyboard, Lockscreen Clock, Notes and the entire system.
BytaFont needs to update to get every font working in iOS 6.1 so if you see a couple places where the font hasn’t changed, hopefully there will be an update soon. Here are a couple that I’ve been using latley since I’ve jailbroken my iPhone 5.

ColorClock – Change Color of Time and Date on Lockscreen
ColorClock is a unique mod that allows you to change the color of both the time and the date on your lockscreen. I will say that this mod might not be for everyone. It is based on the RGB color codes and doesn’t have a crazy UI or anything… it’s pretty simple. Once you have installed ColorClock via Cydia, you will find the controls in your stock Settings application. Below is a screenshot of what the controls look like.
Basically, you are creating a color based on RGB decimal color codes. The sliders go in order Red, Green, Blue.
BytaFont – Change System Fonts on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
There have been jailbreak apps that change fonts before but for the 4.x firmware I am liking an app called BytaFont. It’s free and there are a lot of fonts available with more being added all the time. Some are a little crazy but some are sweet. You can even have different fonts in different areas of your device. Here’s a list of all the areas: [Read more…]
Analock HD – Customizable Lockscreen Mod
Analock HD is a simple, clean lock screen mod. The lock screen displays the current time, date, day of the week, temperature and weather conditions.

I have actually been using this lock screen for a while now and I decided it was time to pass it along! Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to install, activate and customize the Analock HD lock screen mod.

No Page Dots – Easily Remove Page Dots
No Page Dots is a very simple mod that completely removes the page dots at the bottom of the SpringBoard page. Once you install the app, it automatically removes the page dots… it does not add it into WinterBoard, add an icon to the SpringBoard or have any settings. The page dots stay removed even if you change your theme. To get the page dots back, just uninstall the app in Cydia. I didn’t have any issue when I was testing this mod. I was able to install and uninstall it without a problem! I think there are a few mods like this in Cydia but, this is the first one I have actually reviewed and it worked great. You can get No Page Dots via the BigBoss source.
