Why do I need to jailbreak iOS?

Our reader Sanjar Surshanov sent this material that seems very relevant in light of the release of iOS Apple's shackles :)

There is a misperception that the jailbreak only need to upload for free paid games in the App Store. Yes, you can. But there are other ways to use Ceyla.

Let us first deal with the fact that this jailbreak. If you trust wikipedia, jailbreak - «not officially supported by Apple operation that allows you to open the software full access to the device's file system. This allows you to expand the capabilities of the device, for example, make it possible to support themes, tweaks and the installation of apps from other sources other than the App Store. »

When I have just appeared on the iOS device (iPad mini), I was not going to install the jailbreak and so did not really know what it is. After a short familiarization with iPads, I immediately wanted to change the default browser Safari on my favorite Google Chrome. But as it turned out the guys from Cupertino do not allow their devices to change the standard browser. After consulting with Google, it became clear that this can only be done by a jailbreak. And since then, I slowly began to collect Old pro jail.

After the hacker group released an application Evad3rs Evasi0n iOS 6 / 6.1 I installed jailbreak.

And so, let's get to the actual tweaks.

1. Browser Chooser - the actual hero of the occasion. It allows you to change the default browser on any other.

2. Flux - depending on the time of day, change the color of your monitor. Night makes the monitor color warmer. You can read here - how and why the work flux. As there is for Windows, Linux and Mac.

3. NCSettings - a quick settings widget, with which you can switch between the different settings in the notification center device. For example, you can quickly turn on / off Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluethooth, change display brightness, and more. No longer have to go into the settings of this unit behind it.

4. PasswordPilot - I am very not like each time to enter the password when downloading apps from the AppStore. Especially for people like me, and there is this tweak, once again and forever remember your password and you only need to click OK when you install the application.
Since I do not have attached the payment card to the AppStore, I have no problem with that tweaks. And if you have a card attached to the store and still have small children, I advise you not to put this tweak. You can not be counted the money.

5. SwipeBack - a very simple and useful tweak will take you back to the previous application using gesture "swipe to the right."

6. Zeppelin - the most useless tweak, but pretty cool. It allows you to change the logo of the cellular operator to other more interesting. Separately in Cydia you can find the logo of your favorite club, and indeed many other logos.

7. BatteryDoctorPro. The most useful tweak that I have installed. BarreryDoctorPro We have a lot of chips, but I will focus on only one.
BatteryDoctor how NCSettings adds toggles to your notification center and from there you can change the various settings. But for me personally it is interesting only one button - TaskClear. Since almost all the very many applications in the apple device, it often happens that in the multitasking bar are open for more than 10 application at a time and even more. In order to avoid the battery and memory costs need them (open applications) strongly closed manually.

So TaskClear helps to "clean out" all the apps in the multitasking panel with a single click! Very easy and super convenient. I believe that this function is worthy of being in the most iOS and make life easier for the millions of users of iPhone / iPad / iPod touch.

And finally, I have the jailbreak is quite a long time and no problems / bugs with my iPads did not arise. Tweaks are divided into free / paid (yes, yes, and after Ceyla can continue to pay money) for the iPhone / the iPad (for iPhone is much more interesting and useful tweaks).

UPDATE: And a little more tweaks - 20!
