Cydia Tweak MySiri Will Bring More Deep Customization For Siri

Summary : AssistantExtensions, and SiriToggles show us Siri could be more smart than we thought on a jailbroken device, but the uncoming Cydia tweak MySiri seems can do more

AssistantExtensions, and SiriToggles show us Siri could be more smart than we thought on a jailbroken device, but the uncoming Cydia tweak MySiri seems can do more.
Indeed, MySiri — an upcoming Siri tweak — promises to add a ridiculous amount of end-user control to the Siri interface.
Co-developers Andrea Oliva & Akhil Tolani provided us with a sneak peak of the upcoming tweak. Check inside as we give it the full video preview…
MySiri includes the ability to execute Activator actions using your voice, create your own conversations, enable or disable toggles, perform commands like respring, restart, reboot, and create your own custom background.
The nice thing about MySiri is that virtually every aspect is customizable in a sense that you can create your own predefined voice commands.
Of course the tweak is still in development, and I wasn’t personally able to have success with all facets. The good news is that by the time it is released, all aspects should be working seamlessly.
If your iPhone 4S is jailbroken, or you’re running Spire on your pre-4S device, then MySiri should definitely be on your radar. It’ll be available for $0.99 on the BigBoss repo once released.

Dragon Island: Upcoming Pokemon-like Game for iOS

Summary : In Macworld iWorld 2012, the developers ZigZaGame Inc who are bringing Adventure Bar Story to the App Store. And toucharcade has a good preview this game's story, let's have a look, and it's coming soon:

In Macworld iWorld 2012, the developers ZigZaGame Inc who are bringing Adventure Bar Story to the App Store. And toucharcade has a good preview this game's story, let's have a look, and it's coming soon:

Dragon Island has you exploring a huge world, battling and collecting over 200 different species of monsters. Each one can be evolved several times, and you can even collect recipes which will allow you to combine two different creatures to create a new hybrid version. Also, you'll be able to battle bosses and claim their spirits in order to summon them in future battles.

Another interesting feature is that there are no healing spells or items in the game. You can return to the main town hub to heal, but if you're out in battle and one of your creatures dies, then they're gone for good. I kind of like this as it adds an element of suspense and risk, and should affect how you go about tackling battles and completing the many dungeons in the game.

To balance this, even though you can only battle with 3 monsters at a time, you'll be able to bring more than that with you as you play. So if you do end up losing one, another monster from your queue will take its place. As you level up in the game, you'll gain the ability to carry more and more monsters with you.
The world which you can explore in Dragon Island is massive, with tons of points of interest to discover. These include towns, forests, random battles, and dungeons. When you come upon a dungeon, it is randomly generated and turns the game into more of a rogue-like, and there will be one infinite dungeon where you can grind and discover monsters and items, as well as compete on a leaderboard for how many floors you can descend.
Finally, the battle system will be a traditional 3-on-3 turn-based affair. Each monster can have up to 4 skills, each assigned a special swipe gesture. Although your character doesn't get involved in battles himself, you can still level him up as you would in a normal RPG, and then his stats will extend to the monsters under his control. In this way you can influence how you will play the game despite the massive number of different monsters in the game which are actually the ones doing battle.

iPhone 5 Gonna Have NFC Capabilitie, Partnering With MasterCard/PayPass?

Summary : A new report reveals that Apple seems is working on implementing NFC capabilities into the next iPhone and for payment processing, Apple is connecting with MasterCard and Visa.

A new report reveals that Apple seems is working on implementing NFC capabilities into the next iPhone and for payment processing, Apple is connecting with MasterCard and Visa.
9to5Mac spoke to a well-connected developer at MacWorld who is building a NFC app for the iPhone. When asked why he would do that given the limited NFC support for the device, the developer told the site that he had no hardware knowledge, but he had spoken to Apple iOS engineers on multiple occasions, and they are "heavy into NFC."
When asked how confident he was, the developer said, "Enough to bet the app development on."
Late last week Ed McLaughlin, the head of emerging payments at Mastercard, made some interesting comments about NFC/Paypass to Fortune Company:
"The timeline is always as rapid as it makes sense for consumers," he says. "That's a combination of having a critical mass of the merchants, which is what you're seeing right now, and getting devices into the hands of consumers. I don't know of a handset manufacturer that isn't in process of making sure their stuff is PayPass ready."
So that would include Apple then?
"Um, there are...like I say, [I don't know of] any handset maker out there," McLaughlin says. "Now, when we have discussions with our partners, and they ask us not to disclose them, we don't."
Interestingly, a Visa representative did confirm to Fortune Company that they have talked to Apple about their PayWave system.
"I can't tell you when Apple is going to put NFC in the next version of the iPhone," Bill Gajda, the Global Head of Mobile Product said, "but we've had discussions with them around the PayWave standard and they've asked to look at our specification and certification process so that when they decide to do something those lines of communication are open."
What do you think about it, if iPhone 5 gets NFC Capabilitie?

Most of you will probably want to change the default boot logo into an animated one. You should be able to find animated boot logos in Cydia, but if you know how to do your own, custom animations are stored in /Library/BootLogos/YourAniName/ from 0.png to n.png.

How to Fix White or Missing Icons After Jailbreaking with Absinthe

Summary : Some users reported they enconter weird things when they jailbreaking their iPhone 4S with Absinthe, sometimes displaying white icons or even transparent icons for certain applications. Here is an easy way to fix it.

Some users reported they enconter weird things when they jailbreaking their iPhone 4S with Absinthe, sometimes displaying white icons or even transparent icons for certain applications. Here is an easy way to fix it.
Their is not a explain for that bugs, but to fix this problem, you can just simply download iWipe Cache from Cydia, and run the app. According to the app description, iWipe Cache allows you to:

Clear your SpringBoard Cache to ensure all images from any theme will work with WinterBoard. Due to Winterboard being very out of date, It does not clear springboard cache. This app will clear your cache, allowing new masks and overlays to be applied to Icons.

As you can see, iWipe Cache was apparently developed to fix WinterBoard problems, but since it I don’t have WinterBoard installed on my iPhone 4S, I know for sure my blank icons issues aren’t due to this app.
Additionally, it seems that doing a respring temporarily fixes the problem. Respringing hasn’t proven very effective in my case, which is why I recommend the iWipe Cache option, over a simple respring.
If you’ve seen white or missing icons on your iPhone or iPad, try this fix and let us know how it works for you. And if you got more issues during jailbreaking, here is a helpful guide, also you can leave your jailbreak issue too.

Make Calls From Notification Center With TelOnNotification

Summary : This is a nice Notification Center widget that lets you make calls.

• PandaApp Editor

• Current Device: HTC Chacha
• Future Device: iPhone 5.6.7.8...iPad 2.3.4.5...
• Introduction:Tracing new technology like fashion!

This is a nice Notification Center widget that lets you make calls.
You have an iPhone, but where's the Phone? Is it on your home page, your second page, your third page? Is it on your dock? I don't know! Well now, you never have to not know again. If you need to make a call but you find that looking for your Phone application is a pain in the rear, then you'll appreciate this new jailbreak widget for Notification Center that allows you to make phone calls but sliding down Notification Center, entering a phone number, and tapping the call button. This widget is free and has been dubbed TelOnNotification by iOS developer timetravel0.
The widget has a decent looking GUI (graphical user interface). There have been a lot of widgets that are completely atrocious compared to the way that we might expect Apple to implement a widget. This one keeps it nice and simple and best of all, it's small. It doesn't take up a ton of room. Before you actually start typing in a phone number to dial, the widget looks as it does in the screenshot below:

After you tap on that bar that says, "Telephone number to call" the iOS number pad appears with a call button in the bottom left. The number pad is demonstrated by the first image in this review. It looks very eye-candy-ish and I'm sure that a lot of people if not most would like to add this widget to their collection for iOS 5's Notification Center.
There are some prerequisites to using it. For example, you cannot dismiss the number pad easily when you are in Notification Center. You have to press the home button, which exits Notification Center completely, just to put the number pad away. So this means that you shouldn't tap on the widget unless you really want to make a call otherwise that number pad will get in the way of you viewing your other widgets. Another thing is that you need to know someone's phone number by heart, otherwise you won't be able to call them. This widget doesn't support address book integration, so you can't go through your Contacts application and pick a contact that you've added in the past to call.
Do those prerequisites make it useless? Absolutely not. It's still a quick way to dial a phone number if you don't want to fumble around for your Phone application. You will need to be running iOS 5 to download this widget because it depends on Notification Center to function. You can enable the widget or disable it at any time by simply dragging it in and out of Notification Center in the Settings application under 'settings>notifications>in notification center'. I think this is a nice thing to have if you're an iPhone power-user like me.
