iCleaner: Clean/Remove Junk Files On iPhone [Cydia]

iCleaner is to iOS what CCleaner is to Windows and Mac OS X – that is, to clean up junk files. Read on after the break to learn more about this app available for free on the Cydia store.

iCleaner is pretty straight forward to use once it’s installed. Running the app, you will be prompted with whether to clean certain types of junk files or not, one prompt after another. The app is designed to remove the following types of files:

• Safari cache, cookies and history.
• Application caches, cookies, temporary files, snapshots.
• Log files and crash reports.
• System cache files and databases.
• System temporary files.

The app also removes in depth data from apps such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter etc. thereby decreasing loading times of these apps and increasing overall performance. Once you have all the junk on your device deleted, you will be asked to respring the device. So do that in order to confirm the removal and well, avoid any mishaps. The app has aesthetics that make it look like a proper app rather than some run of the mill app. Even better, it gets the job done rightly and quickly, without creating errors or stuff.

You can find this app in Cydia in the Bigboss repo for free.

Change The iOS Lock Screen Slider Size & Text With SliderWidth [Cydia]

SliderWidth Cydia tweak will let you change the width and text of the slider, and you can also tinker with the camera button on the lockscreen. Read on to find out what more can be done if you have SliderWidth on your iPhone.

One of the good things about SliderWidth is the fact that, unlike most Cydia tweaks these days, it is designed to deal with both the iPhone and iPad separately. The first option in the menu of SliderWidth is to let users adjust the width of the slider. A similar option exists for iPad just below the first one. To change the size of the slider, hit the enable button, and then resize using the slider below it. The higher the number on the slider, the smaller it gets in length. You can see the effect the changes have on the lockscreen without having to respring your iPhone. It is not advisable to touch the iPad option on iPhone or iPod touch, and vice versa.

In addition to width adjustment options, the tweak also has buttons to let you alter the lock slider text, Doing so requires you to hit the enable toggle for it and enter the text in the box below it. Make sure that the text matches the dimensions of the slider, otherwise it will be cutoff, or appear outside the slider area. Alternatively, it is possible to abandon the slider text altogether, and replace it with a shining Apple logo. Please note that the logo and text cannot be used simultaneously. The camera button options in SliderWidth allow users to remove the camera button from the lockscreen altogether, or use the iOS 5.1 button on an older version of iOS. This feature won’t work properly if you have Camera Grabber (review here) installed on your device, so it is better to disable it before you use SliderWidth.

SliderWidth is available in the ModMyi repo as a free download.
