iGizmoz – The Ultimate Widget Application

November 25, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: App Store

Price: $0.99

iGizmoz, from the developer of Photogene, is a very sweet widget application. If you have been around the jailbreak scene you have probably tried your hand at a few Widget apps only to end up feeling disappointed. iGizmoz brings Widgets to the App Store and believe me, you will not be disappointed. This is what widgets were meant to be like!

iGizmoz comes with 11 working widgets that are customizable:
– World clock
– Sticky notes
– Calendar
– Search tool
– Speed dial
– Countdown
– Stopwatch
– Slideshow
– Swinging creature
– Tic tac toe game
– Flashlight

The widgets can be freely arranged on the scrollable screen. Once a widget has been added to the main screen, it can be double tapped and customized. You can also change the background image of the main screen choosing from the images provided or choosing an image from your Photo Library.

Below is how each widget works and how it can be customized.

Cydgets – Time, Weather, Flashlight… [Updated]

November 16, 2009 by Brooke

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

Last week I wrote about Cydget, a “framework for managing lock screen plugins.” Over the week-end there were a few Cydgets (like Widgets for Cydget) released that are pretty decent.

The first is HTC Hero Cydget. This Cydget includes the current Time, Temperature and Weather Conditions. Once you have installed the Cydget, you will need to go into the stock Settings application under Cydget and activate it. I did find that this particular Cydget does not display immediately on the lock screen, there is a slight delay. (strike)Though, it does know your current time and weather info without having to edit a .plist which is nice. (/strike) [Read more…]

Cydget – Framework for Managing Lock Screen Plugins

November 11, 2009 by Douglas

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

Yesterday, Saurik released Cydget in Cydia. Cydget is a “framework for managing lock screen plugins.”

Cydget isn’t necessarily an application in itself instead it is more of a framework that allows other people to create lock screen plugins that work within Cydget. Allowing you to manage lock screen plugins without the use of WinterBoard. The plugins are managed in the stock Settings application where they can be activated/deactivated and reordered.

Once on the lock screen, you can rotate through the activated lock screen plugins by tapping the Home Button. [Read more…]
