With Dimmer installed, you can make your device even darker.  Using any existing brightness control (Settings, the Task Switcher on the iPad, or even third party apps such as SBSettings and Music Controls Pro), you can now lower your brightness even further.  From 100% to 30% on the slider, your backlight will control your brightness, and for any setting less than 30%, Dimmer takes over and virtually dims your display to a reasonable level.

Dimmer is now available in Cydia for only $0.99 – grab it today, use it tonight!

With the release of MC Pro, 42 music apps are now supported (new additions include AudioGalaxy, Napster, and ZumoCast) and all-new control schemes have been introduced, including dock metadata support for car stereos, swipes in the task switcher dead area, and a Remote server so you can control music playback from another iPhone over WiFi!

As an added bonus, MC Pro adds new features such as video backgrounding so videos can keep playing when you tap the home button, a mixed brightness/volume slider in the task controls for rapid backlight and volume adjustment, SBSettings toggles to quickly enable/disable the Remote server and lockscreen swipes, and more!

-Swipe Gestures now work when the display is off.
-Volume buttons can be swapped based on the device’s orientation. This feature is very useful for using the iPad while it’s upside down.

These functions are disabled by default, so look into Music Controls’ settings to turn them on. If you use swipe gestures when the display is off, I highly recommend you make sure play/pause requires a double tap.

Music Controls now has support for 37 music apps and 7 different control methods.

Music Controls is an all-in-one music controller for your phone, giving you the ability to control many popular music applications from a myriad of controls, including Bluetooth Headset, Wired Headset, Lockscreen Swipe, Statusbar, and Popup controls.

If you haven’t given it a try yet, five day full trials are available. Check it out in the Cydia Store!

There are plenty of accessories on the market that allow you to play video out with iPods, but when plugged into the iPhone, display “This accessory is unsupported by iPhone”, and refuse to play video out. Or at least used to.

Resupported is a safe and cheap alternative to paying the Apple tax. It enables video out through many unsupported AV cables and devices, and it does not modify system files!

Here’s a simple check to see if your cord is likely to be supported:
-Does it plug into the dock connector?
-Will audio play through it when connected to your device?
-Does it have a video output or a screen?

Available in Cydia for $1.99

Music Controls is the software for music lovers!

If you haven’t had a chance to try it yet, check it out with a fully-functional 5 day trial.

CalendarPro (Profiles) is a highly configurable ring profile manager that lets you use your Calendar events to control how your phone will ring or vibrate for notifications ranging from phone calls to push notifications.

CalendarPro offers seamless integration into the normal Calendar application and gives you the ability to quickly set up a profile for just one event, create custom ring profiles, or create extensible rules that apply to multiple events.

The rules give you quite a degree of freedom.  You can use rules to:

• Set your phone to silent on weeknights.
• While at work, only let incoming calls make noise while other sounds only vibrate.
• Silence your phone during any meetings that occur during business hours.
• Set all busy events in your work calendar to silent.
• Have your phone ignore the ringer switch if you’re going to a noisy event.
• Set up keywords to trigger different behaviors (useful for setting up profiles via your computer)

CalendarPro (Profiles) is compatible with large calendars, Exchange synchronization, and consumes hardly any resources.

If you’re in school or in the work force, this app is for you! Check it out!
