Upcoming update for whatsapp! VoIP calling??






As you know, the world’s most popular mobile messaging software, WhatsApp, is being purchased by the social networking giant Facebook for a staggering $16 billion.

WhatsApp previously promised to introduce VoIP calling in the second quarter of this year, a move poised to turn the tables on competition like Viber, now owned by Rakuten.

While Viber last December unveiled a new Skype-like Viber Out feature for making low-cost outgoing calls to international mobile and landline numbers, a set of screenshots leaked on Friday purportedly depicting what WhatsApp’s VoIP calling will look like in its iPhone application, a free download from the App Store…

According to Italian Apple blog iPhoneItalia (Google translate), WhatsApp’s VoIP calling interface is heavily reminiscent of the new-look Phone app in the latest iOS 7.1 update, down to the circular End Call button. When a VoIP call comes in, the app displays your caller’s name, along with their photo and phone number.

FIX:- iPhone, iPad or iPod touch randomly resprings after jailbreaking iOS 7

 Issue: iPhone, iPad or iPod touch randomly resprings after jailbreaking iOS 7.

Potential solutions:

  • Reboot your iOS device
  • Uninstall or update any incompatible or problematic tweaks
  • Reinstall Cydia Substrate
  • Restore your iOS device (and re-run evasi0n7)
    • Having an iTunes or iCloud backup is recommended
    • Keep in mind that you may be restoring to a non-jailbroken iOS version
    • Restoring should only be necessary as a last measure

Add Quick Reply / Compose To iOS 7 Messages App & WhatsApp

If you’re looking for a way to improve the functionality of your iOS Messages app but don’t feel like shelling out for BiteSMS for iPhone, there are plenty of decent alternatives out there. Couria, which is currently available in beta, is one such tweak, offering a neat Quick Reply and Quick Compose system for a more efficient way of dealing with messages. At this point in time, it’s free of charge, and having been tailored for the relatively new iOS 7, looks very much like a native feature.

Couria is described by the developer as a “centralized and customizable” QR/QC system for iOS, and in actual fact, the support for the Messages app only comes about courtesy of the specialized extension. This means that while Couria and the SMS / iMessage add-on make for a much more fluid messaging experience for jailbroken iOS users, Couria can also be used to wider effect in third party apps like WhatsApp and Tweetbot by means of extensions. Moreover, it’s also themeable, so if you’ve been having a field day playing around with the aesthetics of your device, you can ensure that Couria complies with the look you’re striving to achieve.

The fact that it is open-source means that those familiar with code can have a play around with it themselves, and in the process, make this great tweak even better. Having been released last week, the developer of Couria has been well and truly dedicated to making improvements, with subsequent updates bringing things a lot more up to scratch.

Sure, there are still quite a few bugs to be ironed out and such, but with features like group messaging support now seemingly running without too much difficulty and with more proposed changes in the pipeline, Couria may prove a huge hit with those frequently messaging.

As aforementioned, it’s free of charge, and you can get your hands on it by adding the cydia.qusic.me repository in your list of Cydia sources.

In addition to main Couria install, you can install Couria for WhatsApp and Couria for Tweetbot extensions from same repo to add the same Quick Reply/Compose for these apps as well.

Give it a blast, and be sure to let us know how you get on by dropping a comment via the usual channels.

How to Change the Cydia ICON for iOS 7?


Despite the fact that Cydia was recently updated for iOS 7, it didn’t come with a new icon to look native on the new firmware generation. Although this is probably because a final icon is being worked out, if you would like to get an iOS 7-like Cydia icon on your Jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad then you will be glad to know that it is now possible thanks to the work of some talented designers.




 Here's  how to do it... :)


Step 1) - The first thing you will need to do is install iFile to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad (Sections > System > iFile). It will say that the version is not certified to be compatible with your device, but it will work.
Alternatively you can use an application on your computer like iFunbox, or iExplorer, but note that afc2add must be installed from Cydia as Evasi0n7 does not install this package automatically like previous Jailbreak tools. Even SSH will work if that’s your thing.

Step 2) - Next on your iOS Device you want to change the Cydia icon on, navigate to this article and download one of the iOS 7 Cydia icon variations shown below.


Step 3) - Now launch iFile and navigate to /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE to find the icon you just saved. It should be near the bottom of the list.

Step 4) - Tap the Edit button in the top right hand corner of the screen, then the clipboard icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, followed by the Copy/Link button from the popup menu.

Step 5) -  Next go back to the root directory of your device and navigate to /Applications/Cydia.app.

Step 6) - Once again tap the Edit button in the top right hand corner of the screen, then the clipboard icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, followed by the Past button from the popup menu.

Step 7) - Now find icon@2x.png in the same folder, tap the blue arrow icon to the right of it and rename it iconbk@2x.png or something similar so that the file won’t be deleted when the new icon takes its place. Tap Done once finished.

Step 8) - Rename the logo you pasted to icon@2x.png by tapping the blue arrow to the right of it and then tap done once finished.

Step 9) - Finally respring or restart your device.
Cydia’s icon should now look flat and match the look and feel of iOS 7. The great thing is this method can be repeated for any app icon of your choice. Let us know how it worked for you in the comments section.
