Just a quick heads up! Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta was out yesterday to bring untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 but some of our readers has reported that usbmuxd process  is not working with them. Also Windows users were left behind and couldn't convert their devices to untethered jailbreak.


Though, the iPhone Dev Team is working hard on releasing new betas so in a new tweet today confirming that Redsn0w 0.9.7b4 will incorporates usbmuxd so you shouldn't worry anymore. In the same tweet, the iPhone Dev Team has confirmed that after finishing this task, the next version (Redsn0w 0.9.7b5) will include the Windows version.

tman15555: @redsn0w_testers when will the version that incorporates usbmuxd be realeased? I keep on getting stuck on installing bundles

redsn0w_testers: @tman15555 that version is next...and if that's successful, we should be able to expand to Windows testers after that

This indicates that we may very soon see the public release of Redsn0w 0.9.7. More updates as they come ! Stay tuned !


UPDATE 1: Redsn0w 0.9.7b4 has been released to Untethered Jailbreak Without the Need of ‘usbmuxd’ Process , check full details Click Here.

According to All Things Digital, today Apple confirmed 1 million Apple TVs have been sold in three months since it's been released. Apple has put out a press release last week stating that they would reach the 1 million Apple TV units sold in a few days.

Last Tuesday Apple said it expected sales of its next generation Apple TV to top one million units before Christmas. Today the company confirmed to me that they did just that. Seems the addition of AirPlay support for wireless streaming, better iOS integration and the device’s aggressive new $99 price point have done quite a bit to spike sales of Apple’s so-called “hobby.” A million units sold within three months of the device’s launch is certainly impressive.

Icon Renamer is a new Cydia tweak that allows you to easily rename your iPhone app icons directly from Springboard. The tweak developed by Cydia developer Ryan Petrich and it's totally free.

Once installed, simply tap and hold to enter jiggle mode, then tap the icon you want to rename as shown in the screenshot below. What I like in this tweak that it doesn't install a new app in your Springboard or place an icon in the settings app.

Icon Renamer can be found in Cydia via BigBoss repository for free. Also check our Cydia tweaks gallery for more must-have and useful Cydia tweaks that enable functions Apple has missed ! That's why we do a jailbreak !

This is a very handy tweak for iPad users since the iPad can run iPhone apps in compatibility mode but when an iPhone app is blown up to 2x mode, the graphics become fuzzy. Even the app's got Retina-Display-ready graphics on iPhone, it'll still pix-elated on the iPad.


However, RetinaPad fixes this problem and it works awesome on any app that's got Retina-Display-ready graphics. You need a jailbroken device so you can access Cydia and install it. Once installed, launch your iPhone app and tap on 2x then you'll really notice that the app looks clean. Check the below screenshot, it works great on Facebook for iPhone app and most of the iPhone apps:
RetinaPad is available in Cydia Store at $2.99 via BigBoss repository. You can use Redsn0w to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on iPad. [Thanks @High_dB]
