For iPhone jailbreak users: how to find and change themes with SBSettings

SBSettings

One of the most common reasons for iPhone jailbreaking is the posibility of playing with the iPhone appearance. Why should you be satified with the ordinary themes, why not find and get some imaginative new themes? This is where SBSettings is incredibly helpful. Honestly the the default theme in SBSettings is not very inspirational. Therefore many users want to switch it off and find something more exciting. No problem, there is a wide choice available.

Please note: SBSettings is available only on jailbroken iPhones. The jailbreak depends on your iOS firmware version and your iPhone model. Most used jailbreak tools today are Pwnage tools for Mac and Redsn0w and Sn0wBreeze for Windows.

iPhone 5 and iOS 5 rumors

iOS 5  and iPhone 5

Many hardcore Apple fans have been kind of disappointed when Apple didn’t relieve anything about the upcoming iOS 5 on the recent iPad 2 launching event. It is expected that iOS 5 would be a completely redesigned and re engineered OS with heavy emphasis on cloud services.

The reason is probably that Apple is still far away from finishing it and they will simply need much more time than expected. Reliable sources in Cupertino California based company have revealed that the iOS 5 wouldn’t see the daylight before late fall.
If it really plays out like this, it will mean that Apple is breaking their usual pattern of iOS launching in early spring followed by release of a new iPhone model.

When will Apple release iPhone 5 and iOS 5 ?

Apple’s new version of iOS will probably be not available before the fall. But on the other side this surely wont delay traditional release of new iPhone model every summer. Some analysts even claim that a new iPad would be available next fall.

Until now Apple had usually presented their new iOS during early spring in order to give software developers enough time to work on their apps and prepare them for the iOS launch in summer. So far Apple has not followed this pattern and there are no reliable news about iOS 5 so far.
