A piece of malware has shown up on a few jailbroken devices – it’s almost certainly installed via something on a non-default repository (such as a pirate repository), and it’s probably installed via a less-popular package, since it’s not very common. It’s usually called Unflod.dylib, and it’s a malicious piece of software that tries to steal your Apple ID and password; nobody has figured out yet exactly where it comes from. You can read analysis by i0n1c here, and discussion in these two threads: what is it? and beware of it.

Hitman GO Finally Released For iOS 7, Here Is How You Can Download It

Upon Hearing the name “Hitman”, our mind directly imagine a Cold heart, besuited and inhuman character, whose job is to kill people, innocent and criminals, for only money. This is after all, what we have seen in movies and games, and otherwise the role of Hitman, even if we look in the past, the collection of Hitman series also based on a story of a contract killer, but now in Hitman Go, things are about to be changed, Square Enrix has decided to take an alternate approach, thus turning a killing game into a Puzzle game of Turn Based Strategy, well on first look, anyone can simply understand that they have disgraced the name of Hitman, but going with a whole new idea, sometimes lead to that, for example, 300: Rise of Empire, was expected to be a better movie than the first movie, but it was not, since they tried to bring a whole new story, instead of sticking to the old one.

Turn Based puzzle games are something of a revelation in Mobile world, it is not a surprised that Square Enrix decided to go after it. However, as I said earlier that seeing Hitman spending time to solve puzzles instead of straightforward killing, is an eyebrow raising scenario, but the combination of “violence-meets-placid-board-game” really turns out to be a huge fun, stepping away from becoming a disaster. Don’t worry characters are still the same.

You are, as always, the Agent 47, but instead of sneaking on a person with a Pistol and waiting for an opportune moment to kill him, you are this time bound to move on the board, moving so silently that the guards there won’t feel anything suspicious. If you are spotted, you have no power to start a fight with them, instead you have failed the level and must start it again. You need to sharpen your stealth statistics in order to creep through without being spotted.

If you look closely into the game, despite that the game has its own signature and story line, it looks more like Splinter cell, even though Splinter Cell was classified as a Role Playing Game, where you have to run from the guards and enter without getting caught. Hitman GO is available of Apple store for only $4.99, compatible for both iPhone and iPad, So if you are after a little something different, then this game is the best for you.

Auki, A Quick Message Composer For iOS 7

iOS messaging has been, from the introduction of iMessages,benefited greatly, but in terms of features, it has not evolved as it supposed to be. From the time of the first iPhone till now, the iMesssages app is still the same, you need to open the app to see and reply to anyone, instead we should have seen the Quick message option in it as you see in many Android messaging apps. iOS does not provide such facilities, until you are using a Jailbroken device, you can use Bitesms, but if you are interested in something, that can create an easy way for you to deal with messages without having to counter the message app again and again, you may need to check out a new tweak by the name of the Auki.

Auki provides almost everything you need, like Quick Compose with a few extra thrown to make even better for you. No matter how much iOS have evolved, we still need to go back from what we are using or playing, to reply to a message and if there is a conversation started, it becomes a serious pain to go back agin and again to reply to messages and especially if there is a multiplayer game, which needs continuous concentration during gameplay, will be ruin because of the replying.

auki-screenshot-640x657

While using Auki, once you received a message, you will see a pop-up allowing you to send a message without going back and once the message is sent, you will hear a noise confirming that the message has been sent Or if you don’t want to see the pop-up, you can change the settings, and then you have the power to swipe down to see the message and the pop-up, thus replying from the same spot without getting disturbed even a little

This Tweak support, Images and Video and the best thing in this Tweak is that you can Silence people, if you do not want to talk to anybody at the current moment, you can swipe the conversation to the left to mute them, afterwards even if there is a pop-up, that will be the pop-up of a message you should read. Auki is available on Cydia Store for only $3.99 and after adding Bigboss Repo you should be able to install it.

The tweaks you can make to your device probably include flashing custom ROMs, mods, modifying your device the way you want. The only thing you need to keep in mind while making these changes or going beyond the boundaries is, Samsung’s Galaxy devices come with a worst issue that is Encrypting File System (EFS). It is highly vulnerable in Samsung’s Galaxy series, and flashing an invalid firmware, any invalid mod or any invalid custom recovery can cause this effect on your phone’s modem. You probably are not aware of the result if you’re coming across this for the first time, EFS issue will cause your phone’s IMEI to go null or it will or it will be completely messed up, the impact is, you won’t be able to use any SIM cards on your device and it won’t catch any signals from your carrier, that means your device is of no use, it’s just like a tablet without a SIM card.

There is no need to worry about it, but only when you have backed up EFS. It’s of a lot use actually, if your phone’s IMEI code gets messed up, you can immediately flash the backed up EFS and fix your phone.

Install TWRP 2.7 Recovery On Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F and SM-G900H

TWRP recovery is stated as far better than the old CWM Recovery as it has many advance features that can outrun the CWM Recoevry in seconds. TWRP is far easy to use and you don’t need to go back and again to flash different files in one time, TWRP allows you to select all the files in one shot and install them one-by-one, reducing your effort to go back again and again. It can also make the Back-up of your current ROM which can be restored using TWRP afterwards, if something happens to the ROM you have just installed. Other Features are the same as any other Recovery, except the interface which is far better than CWM Recovery.
