Cydia Home Screen shows which SHSH you saved already

Yesterday Saurik updated the tool on the home page of Cydia, which retrieves and saves the ECID of our 3GS iPhone so we can downgrade at any time. Eagle Eyed folks at iSpazio noticed the change according to them, until a few hours ago, on the opening page of Cydia receive a message that only the first version of the firmware that had been saved ECID (first screenshot), but now are clearly displayed all versions of the firmware can install on your iPhone 3GS (second screenshot). If you aren’t aware of ECID, Cydia SHSH then read this article to understand what ECID is and why you need to dump your Signature files.

>>>>>>>>                     Before                    <<<<<<<<      >>>>>>>>                       Now                     <<<<<<<<

For those who are unaware with the SHSH thingy, this is due to the fact that Apple prohibits iPhone 3GS users to downgrade to previous versions. But if you have already saved you can install the firmware you like and forces them to keep only the latest version. With this detailed guide instead, all people who have saved the ‘ECID can downgrade by installing an older version of the software.

Here we go with another plugin/widget called Weather Cydget, is a new theme for the lockscreen able to display weather information in real time.

Element : iPhone Home Screen Concept Turns to Reality

In September Geoff Teehan from Teehan+Lax has posted his vision for the iPhone Home Screen. Basically the design allows you to create a scrollable home screen of the stuff that matters to you. By default it may track things like missed calls, unread emails and calendar events.  Today  the designer, announced directly on his blog that this concept will be truly realized, in collaboration with Saurik, the creator of Cydia. Initially the concept will materialize as a lockscreen widget via saurik’s new Cydget framework. According to developers recent tweets  a beta will hopefully be available by next week.

The iPhone Lock Screen is Coming [VIA]

According to developers “We got in touch with Jay Freeman a.k.a saurik. He’s the guy behind Cydia, an application for jailbroken iPhones that allows you to browse and download apps outside of actual app store. He’s crazy smart, passionate and geeky — three things we love here at T+L. Jay is going to be instrumental in making this happen.

The app and the underlying technology to make it happen are still in development so what comes out the other side will differ from what we originally proposed. The biggest change will initially be that it will render only on the lock screen. We went down this road for a number of reasons, primarily because of its relative ease of implementation, though there’s nothing easy about it.
