Velox 2: From the Ashes of a Fallen Tweak a New Heavy Hitter Arises

Velox 2 is being developed by Philip Tennen and it will be available on the BigBoss repo for $1.99. The original tweak came out on the tail end of the iOS 6 days, around when iOS 7 was going to drop. This among other things including a lack of support and updates contributed to a bad reputation leading to a lot of people being let down, thinking it wasn\'t worth their money. Phil talks about this and more on an episode of JailCast, he responds to peoples concerns with "I would hope people can look to my track record of tweaks and the support thereof" and "I don\'t look at it as me picking up a legacy of a failed tweak as much as inheriting an idea that lets you interact with your phone in a whole new way." His track record speaks for itself, with tweaks like Acute, Hermes and Roomy and great customer service, we should be able to expect Velox 2 to surpass it\'s spiritual predecessor.

Get it quick, Apple warns ‘Neato’ to pull keyboard from Notification Center or Else

Get it quick, Apple warns ‘Neato’ to pull keyboard from Notification Center or Else

Apple has some pretty blury guidelines for what can be in the Notification Center and what can\'t. This has already caused a bit of confusion regarding calculators in the NC and the late app-widget Launcher. This has got to be frustrating for developers and users alike. I personally heard about Launcher too late as I was stuck on iOS 7.1.6 due to a jailbreak not being released yet for iOS 8, by the time I got wind it was already gone in the blaze. That being said, I jumped on Neato when I heard on Reddit that they might be pulling it if they don\'t remove the keyboard from the Notification Center widget. The thread is titled, "What Apple don\'t realize is these are the kind of things that convince developers to turn to jailbreaking, and users to look to jailbreaking" and it\'s spot on. It is one of the largest reasons why I myself will always be a "jailbreaker". There will always be something that Apple doesn\'t think it\'s users are ready for or it somehow breaks their odd guidelines. It\'s going to be interesting to see what happens with this widget; will they turn to Cydia? I hope so!
