Orbit, by Steven Troughton-Smith, will soon be updated to version 1.1. The update will include home button support for the app. Troughton-Smith says he is going to be testing the new feature for a week or so to work out any bugs and then will release the update in Cydia. Below is a video preview of the feature. You can get Orbit via the BigBoss source.

The Redeem option has now been moved to into the App Store application under the Featured option. Once in the Featured option, you will need to go into the New category and scroll all the way to the bottom… there you will see Redeem.

The button was previously located in the iTunes application under the More option. Before that, it was located (just for a short time) in the App Store application under a More option (the More option no longer exists). And before that, it was located in the iTunes application in the Downloads option (before there was a More option in iTunes). It seems Apple cannot seem to make up it’s mind on where this feature fits in. Personally, I think the new place they have chosen it a little awkward, but maybe I will get used to it.

Sleep to Lock is an application that changes your sleep button (that is the Power button on the top of your device) so that when it is tapped, instead of putting your iPhone or iPod Touch into Sleep mode, it brings it to the Lock Screen. This is a code application so, when you install it, there will not be an icon on your SpringBoard…it just automatically makes the change once installed. To remove the mod, you will need to uninstall it via Cydia.

I’m honestly not exactly sure what you would use this mod for. When you put your iPhone into sleep mode, by giving the power button a quick tap, when you bring it out of sleep mode…you are at the Lock Screen. I guess it just alleviates the black screen of sleep mode and brings you directly to the Lock Screen without using the Home Button. Let me know in the comments why you use this mod. You can get the Sleep to Lock mode via the BigBoss source.

QuickTip – When receiving an incoming call, you can quickly press the power button (that is the button on the top of your device) once to mute the ringing. Or, when receiving an incoming call, you can quickly press the power button twice and send the call straight to voicemail!

Just a quick, easy way to manage incoming phone calls. I guess Doug uses this option all the time. I personally tap the volume control button to mute an incoming calls. Who knew the iPhone was so multifaceted!

At first this may not seems like an issue. So, they might call a few of the people on your Favorites list. Well, it also means that if you have an address, email address, Safari link, etc in any of the info for your contacts they can get into all of that as well. If you have an email address set for one of your favorites, it can be clicked on which then opens a blank email if they were then to select Cancel it would bring them into your email’s inbox giving the person full access to all of the your emails, contacts and info. So, when at first it doesn’t seem like an issue that someone would be able to get into your Favorites, it leaves room for them to get a lot of personal information.


It seems that the only way to prevent this from happening is going into your Setting on your iPhone and then General and changing your Home Button to Home or iPod. If you set your Home Button as iPod, it will launch your iPod from your Lock Screen. A person couldn’t do a ton of damage from your iPod but, they would technically be “in” your iPhone. However, if you set your iPhone’s double tap to Home…it will not allow the person to get into your iPhone from the lock screen. Even if they were to select Emergency Call and then double tap, it will just bring them back to the Passcode screen. So for now, until this glitch is worked out (which I assume it is a glitch with firmware 2.0.2), the only way to keep people out of your iPhone is to set your Home Button double tap to Home.
