Jailbreak iOS 8: Google Search, Android Operating System & More Useful Tweaks for Jailbroken Devices [Watch]
The latest operating system for iOS devices is iOS 8.3, but developers are holding off on releasing a jailbreak for iOS 8.3. There are still plenty of earlier iOS jailbreak tweaks available.
When text is highlighted in iOS 8, an action screen pops up. Users usually have the option of copying the text or defining it. With the GoogleSearchAction tweak, there is now one more action they can take when text is highlighted. Highlight a word and now copy, define and GoogleSearch will now appear. Select the GoogleSearch option and the Safari app will open up a Google search for the word or words.
The GoogleSearchAction tweak is free and available from the BigBoss repo.
Users of iOS might be curious about how their phone would act if it was running the Android operating system instead. With the Androis tweak, they will not have to purchase an Android phone to use the Android operating system. This tweak gives the appearance and functionality of Android right on an iOS phone.
Android has the navigation bar which features the three buttons of back (to the previous app), a home button and a switcher button which brings up the app switcher. Androis will include this navigation bar.
The notification center will be different as well. Once the notification center is pulled down, the user will see options for their contacts, battery, and settings. Another pull down from the top bar will show them their Bluetooth and WiFi settings.
Other features in Androis include a mini player, a more advanced power menu than iOS, a search widget, a switches widget and a volume slider that can be put at the top of the screen.
The Androis tweak is available from Cydia for $3.99.
