Lingual: Jailbreak Tweak Brings Siri Voice Translation to iPhone 4S

As we reported earlier, Mario Hros a.k.a kexik has released a jailbreak tweak called AssistantExtensions, which seems to be the mother of all Siri jailbreak tweaks. 

The jailbreak tweak not only allows you to open apps, send tweets, enable/disable Settings toggles, control brightness, respring Springboard etc., it also provides a framework for other developers to create Siri extensions.

Lingual is the first such third-party extension for AssistantExtensions. It allows you to translate phrases or text in to over 30 languages using Siri, which can be very useful while travelling abroad.

After installing the tweak all you need to do is say something like "translate [phrase] to [language]" or "what's [phrase] in [language]" and the tweak will show you the translated text in Siri in that language.

Lingual supports the following languages: Arabic, Czech, Danish, German, French, Spanish, Estonian, Finnish, Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Haitian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Latvian, Norwegian, Romanian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukranian, Vietnamese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

You can check out the impressive video of Lingual in action below:

Lingual is developed by CodeThemed and is available in Cydia for free.

Now, if someone can figure out a way for Siri to say the translated text in one of those 35 languages, that would make this jailbreak tweak even better.

Still haven't jailbroken your iPhone 4S using Absinthe jailbreak? Maybe it's time to review that decision.

Lorem: Clear Notifications With a Swipe Using This Jailbreak Tweak

Lorem is a must-have jailbreak tweak for Notification Center.

If you don't like the idea of tapping on the x button and then tapping on the Clear button, check out Lorem, it allows you to clear a notification from Notification Center with just a swipe

After installing Lorem - all you need to do is drag or swipe in any direction on the notification to clear it. We found it  a lot more intuitive and faster to clear notifications using Lorem.

Lorem is disabled by default, so you need to first enable it via the Settings app (Settings -> Lorem -> Enabled On/Off toggle)

The jailbreak tweak works quite well in IntelliScreenX and should work well with LockInfo as well.

You can check out the video of the jailbreak tweak below:

Lorem is developer by iStopped and available for free in Cydia.

If you liked Lorem then you may also like ipsum - a jailbreak tweak that allows you to get rid of notifications from the lock screen by swiping.

As always, let us know what you think about the jailbreak tweak in the comments.

How To: Fix “Error Establishing A Database Connection” When Using Absinthe Jailbreak Tool

Absinthe is the jailbreak tool for untethered jailbreaking the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 on iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1. It was only released a few moments ago, and already people are having trouble with installing it. It is currently only available for Mac OS X, but users who have been trying to install Absinthe app have been getting an ‘Error Establishing A Database Connection’ error. This is probably because of too many people using the tool at the moment.

@Planetbeing has just tweeted a solution. To get rid of the error, just go into Settings>General>Network and Turn on VPN on your iPhone 4S or iPad 2. This will give you an error and your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 should reboot. Once the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 has rebooted, launch the Absinthe app again, and it should work this time and reboot again. After the reboot, your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 should be jailbroken and the Absinthe app will be replaced by the Cydia app.

That’s it! Enjoy your jailbroken iPhone 4S and iPad 2!

iPhone 4S And iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak To Be Integrated Into RedSn0w

Do you not like the new Jailbreaking tool Absinthe? Would you prefer to Jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered from a familiar Jailbreaking tool like RedSn0w? If so, then you will be glad to know that it has been noted by the iPhone Dev-Team from their official blog, that the A5 Untethered Jailbreak will be integrated into the popular RedSn0w Jailbreaking tool once all the kinks have been worked out of Absinthe.

Once all the bugs in the flow are worked out, we’ll also incorporate it into the redsn0w GUI (but still leave the CLI freely available too). In order to maximize the chances of the jailbreak working for everyone, the redsn0w GUI will use native Apple iTunes libraries — this technique is slightly different than how the Chronic Dev GUI handles communications, and should provide nice combined coverage for all the odd computer configurations out there.

The iPhone Dev-Team have mentioned that when the A5 Untethered exploit is integrated into the RedSn0w GUI (graphical user interface) it will use a slightly different method for communications. The result should be a more stable Jailbreak, because it is using the default Apple iTunes libraries, and will also result in better coverage for all the odd computer configurations out there.

We will keep you updated when the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak is integrated into RedSn0w. Until that time please stay tuned and leave any questions or thoughts in the comments section below…

Fix Errors With Absinthe iPhone 4S, iPad 2 Untethered iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak [Common Mistakes Explained]

Today has been a very hectic, but enjoyable day for the Jailbreaking community! This is because the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak has been released to the public in the form of Absinthe. While it is great that iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users can finally Jailbreak their A5 iOS device Untethered, like most new Jailbreaking solutions, there are always errors that come along with initial releases of Jailbreaking tools. As such, a lot of people have not been able to Jailbreak their iPhone 4S or iPad 2 due to errors, server overloads and numerous other reasons.

If you have been experiencing errors Jailbreaking your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered with Absinthe then this may be due to some common mistakes that Planetbeing has recently tweeted about. You see, if you currently have a passcode set on your iPhone 4S/iPad 2 or even have a VPN currently setup, at this time it will cause errors when Jailbreaking your A5 iOS device.

Thus, if you made one of these common mistakes mentioned by Planetbeing simply take action and disable your passcode/vpn setup and try Jailbreaking your A5 iOS device again with Absinthe. If all else fails Planetbeing mentions that you should restart your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 and the Jailbreaking process again (restoring your iOS device would not hurt either).

Let us know if this advice has helped you Jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered with Absinthe in the comments section below…

How To: Jailbreak iPhone 4S Untethered On iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 With CLI [Windows]

Earlier today we told you that the command line interface (CLI) version of the iPhone 4S Untethered Jailbreak was released for Windows. While most Jailbreaking solutions onwards from 2010 have generally been released with a GUI (graphical user interface), the initial release of the Windows A5 Untethered Jailbreak will require you to use the Windows command prompt. This is partly because the iPhone 4S Untethered Jailbreak has proved to be one of the most complicated Jailbreaks ever developed, and at this time the Dream Team are still trying to port Absinthe to Windows.

If you are not skilled with the Windows command prompt then you will be glad to know that in this how to guide from iJailbreak.com, you will learn how to Jailbreak your iPhone 4S on the iOS 5.0 or iOS 5.0.1 firmwares (9A405 and 9A406) using CLI on the Windows operating system.

Update #1: How To: Jailbreak iPad 2 Untethered On iOS 5.0.1 With CLI [Windows]

Update #2: A GUI version of CLI has been released in the form of Absinthe v0.2 (Click here for a How To guide).

Perquisites: The very first thing you need to do before starting this how to guide is make sure your iPhone 4S is backed up. As the CLI Jailbreaking tool for Windows was just released, there is a good chance that you may experience an error Jailbreaking it. Thus, it is always a good idea to make sure all your content on your iPhone 4S is backed up. Additionally, if you iPhone 4S has a passcode lock you must disable it, and furthermore you will need to disable any current VPN’s setup on your iPhone 4S.

Recommendation: It is our personal recommendation that you simply restore your iPhone 4S to factory settings on the iOS 5.0.1 firmware (if you do not require an unlock) or the iOS 5.0 firmware (if you do require an unlock). This will dramatically reduce the chance you have of experiencing an error while Jailbreaking it with CLI for Windows.

Step 1: The first thing you will need to do is download the latest version of CLI from the iPhone Dev-Team’s blog (see update 3) by clicking here. Additionally, you can use the direct download link by clicking here if it proves to be more convenient.

Note: Before moving on to step 2 please make sure your iPhone 4S is plugged into your computer via your USB cable.

Step 2: The next you will need to simply unzip the cinject_0.4.3 folder into your system directory (C:/).

Step 3: Now you will need to search for CMD through your start menu, right click on it, and then click the Run as administrator option.

Step 4: With the Windows command prompt interface now open you will need to type in the following command to get into the proper folder.

CD C:\cinject_0.4.3

Step 5: After going into the proper folder through command prompt you will now need to type in another command as shown in the quoted area below.

cinject -i payloads/jailbreak.mobileconfig

Step 6: Once you have typed the above command you will notice an install profile window appears on your iPhone 4S. You will need to simply tap the install button, ignore the password screen and simply tap next button on your iPhone 4S to install this special Jailbreak profile.

Step 7: After the profile has been installed you will need to type in another command into Windows command prompt.

cinject -j payloads

Step 8: You now need to execute yet another command through Windows command prompt.

cinject -w

Step 9: Now go into the Settings.app on your iPhone, into the General Tab, then into the Network Tab, and finally you should see a VPN toggle. You will simply need to toggle VPN to the ON position and then you should notice you receive an error “A configuration error occurred.” Tap the OK button and your iPhone 4S should reboot.

Step 10: Once it has rebooted you will notice Cydia on your SpringBoard (homescreen). This means the Jailbreak worked and you now have a Jailbroken iPhone 4S running the iOS 5.0 or iOS 5.0.1 firmware. Congratulations!

We hope this how to guide has helped you Jailbreak your iPhone 4S running the iOS 5.0 or iOS 5.0.1 firmware using CLI for Windows. If you have any questions or thoughts related to this tutorial leave them in the comments section below…

Quick Fix For White Icons Bug After iPhone 4S, iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak

If you have experienced white or blank application icons on your SpringBoard (homescreen) after Jailbreaking your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered on the iOS 5 firmware generation with Absinthe for Windows and Mac OS X. You will be glad to know that fixing the white icons error should be an extremely easy thing to do. This is because Planetbeing has tweeted a very quick solution to the blank icons error.

If you read the tweet above by Planetbeing you will realize that fixing the blank icons error is as easy as launching Cydia and then installing a free Cydia tweak like SBSettings. It is good to keep in mind, however, that while this solution should (should being the key word here) fix your white icon errors it is not guaranteed. If you are still experiencing the white icons after installing a Cydia tweak we suggest either trying to re-jailbreak with Absinthe v0.2 or restoring your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 and Jailbreaking it fresh.

Please leave your feedback on this solution to the blank icons error in the comments section below…

Download CLI Windows Untethered Jailbreak For iPhone 4S And iPad 2

Yesterday we told you that the iPhone Dev-Team released a command line interface (CLI) version of their iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak. As of the time of writing that article yesterday, CLI was only available for Mac OS X users. Now, however, hacker MuscleNerd has mentioned that CLI is available for Windows users that will allow them to Jailbreak their iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Untethered running the iOS 5.0 (iPhone 4S only) or iOS 5.0.1 firmware by typing in commands through terminal (CMD). Generally Jailbreak solutions are released with a GUI (graphical user interface), but as the A5 Untethered Jailbreak proved to be one of the most complicated Jailbreaks ever developed, it looks like Windows users will be stuck using the command line version of the tool until Absinthe is properly updated.

If you would like to download CLI for Windows please click here (not working? Click here instead). Additionally, the ReadMe for the CLI tool can be found by clicking here. We will have a how to guide available for using CLI for Windows to Jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered. In the mean time please stay tuned and leave any questions or thoughts in the comments section below…

How to Change Siri Mic Color Using Jailbreak Tweak

It has been less than 24 hours since the jailbreak dream released Absinthe and CLI to jailbreak iPhone 4S and we've already started seeing tweaks for jailbroken iPhone 4S.

We wrote about VoiceUtils, which was the first jailbreak tweak for Siri that adds custom commands to Siri.

A new jailbreak tweak called Siri Mic Colors has just been released in Cydia that allows you to change the color of Siri's microphone.

After the jailbreak tweak is installed from Cydia, you can change the color of Siri's microphone via Winterboard. You can either choose to change the color of Siri's microphone to Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow or select Siri Mic Colors, which changes the color of the microphone depending on how loud you speak. It's looks quite cool.

Siri Mic Colors tweak is available on Cydia for free.

You can install it by following these simple steps:

Launch Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone 4STap on the Manage tabTap on SourcesThen tap on Edit and then the Add buttonHere enter the URL of the repo - http://repo.technetec.comAfter it is successfully installed, search for Siri Mic Colors via the Search tabSelect Siri Mic Colors from the search resultsTap on Install and then the Confirm button
