Tips

There are actually four different ways to snap a photo with the iPhone camera. Seasoned veterans of iPhone photography will already know these tricks, however newcomers to the device might find this tip useful. Each situation is different, and using one of the four methods below can help capture the perfect image.

The most obvious and commonly used shutter release button on the iPhone is directly in the Camera app. This large, white button always appears next to the physical home button in the camera preview. Taking a photo at the right moment is accomplished by touching the button on the screen.

Although there have been several jailbreak tweaks that allow you to modify your iOS 7 lock screen, developer Dylan Kelly has delivered the most comprehensive one to date. CustomLS lets you hide the various items found on the lock screen and change the "slide to unlock" text. You can download this jailbreak tweak for free from Cydia's BigBoss repository.

Once you've installed customLS, head to Settings->customLS. You'll see a bunch of toggles, so start toggling. The toggles let you hide the items on your lock screen. You can hide both the Notification Center and Control Center grabbers (the little horizontal bars at the top and bottom of the LS). You can hide the camera icon and

As one would expect, many tweaks for the Control Center have emerged since the iOS 7 jailbreak became available. The Control Center is meant to be one of the main user interfaces and, as such, users are going to want to customize it to fit their needs appropriately. Tweaks like CCControls and FlipControlCenter allow you to customize the toggles found within the Control Center - which ones are available and how they appear. The new jailbreak tweak CCQuick adds functionality to the Control Center by letting you access different apps from the CC, letting you kill background apps, giving you access to the hidden Springboard settings and letting you customize the background color.

You can find the CCQuick tweak in Cydia's BigBoss repository. Once you have it installed go to Settings->CCQuick. You will now have the option to change the Control Center background color, change the default apps in the Control Center, and change the kill app settings.

One of the first new jailbreak tweaks to allow you to customize the Control Center was FlipControlCenter, which allowed you to control which switches would be available on your lock screen and what order they would be in. CCControls takes the Control Center customization to the next level, giving you many more options, including the ability to change the appearance of the toggles.

You can find the CCControls tweak in the ModMyI repository where you'll be able to install it for free. Once installed, head to Settings->CCControls. You'll be able to make your customizations here. From the main screen you can go to the "Themes", "Lock Screen Restrictions" or "Controls per Page" menus. From this screen you can

Apple has include a host of Springboard settings in iOS 7 that are not accesible to the un-jailbroken user. If you want to enable these hidden settings and start customizing your iOS device, you'll need the new free jailbreak tweak HiddenSettings7, from develper deVbug. You can find the tweak in Cydia's BigBoss repository.

Once you have installed it you will see a new button in your Control Center labeled "SpringBoard Settings" right under the "AirDrop" button (note: You won't see it if
