EXCLUSIVE: Icy Ready to Launch for iOS 4.x this week
We learned from rumours earlier this week that Icy, Ripdevs Cydia alternative that was shut down and made open source after 3.1.x release, is set to make appearance on iPhones and iPads near you. But since we were not sure about the legitimacy of the rumours, we thought to hold back until we could get to the roots of this. And it turns out that folks from Infini-Dev Team have been working hard to bring us back our old Cydia alternative, the fast and light-weight Icy.
Enjoy these screenshots:
Other than Icy, we have also received reports regarding Lima, a completely Mobile Safari based version of Cydia which let’s you browse and install Cydia packages right from Safari on your iPhone or iPod touch. Advantage of this would be no loading times every time you browse to Lima unlike Cydia. We have no ETA’s on when it will be released. Lima was teased running on an iPod touch in the video below:

As of now, Icy has been completely updated to work on iOS 4.x and has entered beta stage. It is being tested for bugs. And since these are no rumours, you can actually go ahead and download the beta version of Icy from here.
P.S. SSH this anywhere on to your iDevice and install using iFile. Respring and enjoy Icy cold Icy.
Thanks to Infini-Dev Team for their hard work. Do let us know what you think about these 2 projects in the comments below.

Read MoreWhite iPhone 4 Thicker Than The Black One
The white iPhone 4 is slightly thicker than the black iPhone 4, according to user reports.
A MacRumors forum member writes, “Just picked up the white iPhone 4 and realized it doesn’t fit into my Incase slider case. It appears that Apple has increased the size of the plastic that borders the glass on both sides by about 1mm. “
Ryan Cash of Marketcircle discovered the same…
A colleague of mine just picked up a 16 GB iPhone 4 in white. I was a bit surprised when I picked it up off his desk (I had my black 32 GB in my other hand at the same time) – it immediately felt thicker. We placed them side-by-side on his desk, and sure enough, the white iPhone was a hair thicker.

Read MoreHere’s How You Can Watch the Royal Wedding on Your iPhone/iPod Touch
The wedding of the year is just hours away. Millions upon millions will be watching the Royal wedding live on TV, but what if you’re unlucky enough to be out of the house when the big event takes place? Don’t worry, we at Jailbreaknews have got your back, thanks to YTLive.
With YouTube launching its live streaming service recently, iOS devices were left out in the cold, but with the help of YTLive, iPhones, iPads and iPod touches can also play host to the Royal wedding in all its streaming glory.
YTLive promises to bring streaming goodness to iOS via their web app. The site works by taking any YouTube Live URL and then converting the Flash stream into something iOS can understand. The result is a (relatively) seamless experience and one that’s certainly better than the alternative of, well, nothing. Just hit play and you’re good to go.
If you’re really into Royalty, you could even stream the wedding on your iPad and watch another channel on your TV. Now that’s multitasking!

Read MoreWhite iPhone 4 Vulnerable to Limera1n & Redsn0w [updated]
The white iPhone 4 being released tomorrow is susceptible to the limera1n jailbreak, according to tweets by iH8Sn0w.
For future (tomorrow or today) White iPhone 4 users, limera1n is NOT patched and has no difficulty with current jailbreaks.
Also for those wondering, i0n1c’s untether will work for the device as well.
i0n1c’s exploit is iOS based. Since the iPhone 4 runs the SAME iOS, its fine.
Update: We have also discovered by a tweet from Chpwn that redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 is also able to jailbreak the new white iPhone 4.
We will keep you posted once we hear more from the devs on the white iPhone 4 jailbreak.

Read MoreGarageband for iPad ported to iPhone 4 [video]
The folks at 9to5Mac received a video and some screenshots of Garageband for iPad running on the iPhone 4 from one of their readers. It was further told that Garageband for iPad was run on iPhone 4 using a hack that requires a jailbroken device. The process involves transferring the GarageBand application with changed metadata to an iPhone 4 via OpenSSH.

This obviously in’t the perfect solution as Garageband isn’t formatted for a slightly lower iPhone 4 resolution but it works well enough. Here are some of the screenshots:
