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 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 MoreDreamStore: DreamBoard Themes Store Now Available
We all know and love Winterboard. But it has not been looked after so well ever since the release. That’s when Wyndwarrior thought it was time to change everything again and DreamBoard came into being. It combines perPageHTML and abilities of winterboard and enables themes without the need of a respring.
Wyndwarrior has now announced the DreamStore. A whole new themes store completely dedicated to DreamBoard themes. You can not only purchase paid and free dreamboard themes, but it also provides you with an interface to submit your work on the DreamStore.
DreamStore is not available on Cydia for some reason. Therefore you will have to follow the instructions below to get it working on your iDevice.
NOTE: You will need to have iFile installed on your iDevice for this to work. And the copy of your DreamBoard should not be cracked. If it is, don’t bother reading on.
I’m assuming you already have iFile and DreamBoard installed.
Step 1: Download the .deb file for DreamStore by clicking here.
Step 2: Locate the .deb you downloaded in iFile and tap on it. Next tap Install to install it.
Step 3: Respring you iDevice.
You should now see the icon for DreamBoard on your springboard.

The Disappearing Icon Glitch in iOS 4.1
In the recent installment of iOS 4.1, it appears that there may be a small glitch in the firmware relating to icons. On your home-screen icons can disappear leaving only the title of the Application. While scrolling through various pages on the device, a user may experience an issues where Icons begin to disappear.
For me I would flick through my pages of apps and every time I would flick to a new page of apps a random app’s icon on that page would be missing.
After all is said and done, a simple restore will correct the problem. Fire up iTunes and let it do it’s business. If anyone can get the problem to repeat, or correct it without restoring, drop us a note.
