Filza File Manager iOS App Review

KvX — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:18:40 +0000

One of the greatest benefits of jailbreaking is gaining root access to your iPhone or iPad. Most people are pretty familiar with iFile when it comes to gaining access to your root directory, however for those not familiar Filza is the best File Manager available in cydia today. Filza is clean, well presented and a powerful file manager that is sure to leave you impressed as I know it did me.

Getting to Know Filza
I spent the last 3 weeks getting to know Filza on my iPhone 5, 5s, 6 and 6 plus. The first thing I noticed was how well it functioned on the listed devices. One of my major concerns was how it would look on the 6 plus as many apps and tweaks seem to not fair so well with such a large screen due to stretching and quality issues. However with Filza File manager it was clean and very well laid out for multiple iPhones. With this said the best selling point of Filza is just its ease of use and wide array of features for managing and using root access to the ultimate level.

Primary Features of Filza:

File viewers/editors for Media Player, HEX Editor, Text Editor, SQL Editor, IPA Installer, DEB Installer, Web Viewer, and Terminal to name a few

SQL Editor Allows for over 100k plus queries to be run

Execute Shell Scripts and applications

Cloud services for Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, WebDAV, FTP, and SFTP

Supports SMB (Windows File Sharing)

Easily search files and folders

Copy and move files easily with just a few taps

Download html files with ease: Allows you to copy html file to Pasteboard, and then paste it to destination folder

Manage Music by import, export, deleting or renaming easily

Easily navigate files in list view or grid view mode with thumbnail

Compress/Decompress zip/7z/rar/tar/tar.gz/gz

Install and extract DEB/IPA files

View DEB/IPA file information

Custom Black or white theme, custom folder icon and file extension icon

Many more features…

Summary
Overall Filza is a very powerful and in depth tool for your iOS file manager needs. Just using it for a few weeks I can tell you it is something that will stay in my iOS toolbox for a long time. It is exactly what you would want and expect when it comes to having a simple yet powerful way to manage and edit your iOS files and folders. Just the functionality for cutting down on steps through copying, and pasting or simply searching make this a worthwhile App to add. Filza costs $5.99 but comes with a free trail and I am betting like me you will happily make the switch and pay the $5.99 as it is worth every penny and will pay for itself just in time saved.

Review of BioBoot App|Tweak for iPhone

KvX — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:45:01 +0000

Annoyed by having to put your passcode in when you restart your iPhone? Wish the Bio lock was enough? Then you are not alone. Personally its just a minor annoyance for me and one of those things I would rather not have to do as I prefer speed and efficiency.

So with this minor annoyance in mind I went out and found BioBoot, an App / Tweak available in cydia. Now this review was pretty easy going since it really just needed to do one thing, and that is not require the passcode on reboot. So without further ado I installed BioBoot on a iPhone 5s and 6. The instal and setup of BioBoot was very easy, upon re spring you put in your passcode. If you forget to do it on re spring just lock your device and unlock with passcode. Once this is completed you are passcode free on reboots.

Now if for any reason you have issues or require additional setting changes BioBoot does have one setting that can be adjusted. That is setting your devices estimated boot time. It defaults to 30 seconds, but if for any reason your device does not work with that setting it can be changed.

All in all this is a very good and annoyance fixing tweak / app available to you right from within cydia off our repo.

When is a Jailbreak for iOS 8.2 expected?

KvX — Thu, 19 Mar 2015 04:18:22 +0000

So you are wondering when to expect an iOS 8.2 jailbreak? Then you are not alone, the jailbreaking community is anxiously awaiting the next big jailbreak. Now chances are 8.2 has already been jailbroken by TaiG since the beta versions were. However with the Mobile Security Summit coming on the 27th and many of the elite from the jailbreaking community including some of TaiG team it is likely this is when the jailbreak for iOS 8.2 will be released.

I will keep the Jailbreak Updates page up to date with any jailbreak links or news as it becomes available.

iOS 8.2 being Released, why you shouldn’t update (Just Yet)!

KvX — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 18:43:22 +0000

iOS 8.2 is being released today as just announced during the apple event by Tim Cook. If you are jailbroken do not update! You will lose jailbreak. iOS 8.2 is packed with updates and bug fixes, but the biggest improvement will be its ability to work with apple’s new watch set to ship April 24th. I know you may want to move to 8.2 but be patient as I expect a jailbreak for iOS 8.2 to come out very quickly. I would venture to guess within a week or so.

So the synopsis is be patient until a jailbreak for 8.2 is out, because if you update now you will loose your current jailbreak.

iOS 8.2 Release Date Coming Soon

KvX — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 19:40:09 +0000

Update: iOS 8.2 Just released, click here for info.

There are many rumors currently surounding the release date of iOS 8.2, the only certain thing is Apple is the only one who truly knows. However you should expect to see iOS 8.2 released this month if not within the next week or so.

A few things point to seeing a release within the next week or so, first off iOS 8.2 has been in beta since the end of last year, also Apple is having a special event on March 9th in which all clues point to this being the debut of the Apple watch. The apple watch will run on iOS 8.2, so one would expect that in order to release the watch you would have to release 8.2 as well. This doesn’t mean it will immediately release an update for 8.2 during the event but you can bet it will happen very shortly following.

When iOS 8.2 is released and if you are jailbroken DO NOT JAILBREAK, you can rest reasonably assured that a jailbreak will follow pretty shortly for 8.2. I am sure PanGu and TaiG cant wait to unleash the new apple watches potential.
