Rovio Entertainment has released the first trailer for The Croods. Rovio is known for creating the very popular Angry Birds and Bad Piggies franchise that has also spawned a blockbuster crossover with the Star Wars universe.

The Croods is a FarmVille building / management type game featuring a family of cavemen. Users must help the Croods survive the Stone Age by hunting, gathering and fending off "never-seen-before creatures".

I finally upgraded from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 6.1.2 and jailbroke my device using evasi0n. While I'm happy about being all caught up and ready for the iOS 6.1.3 patch, I was also disappointed to learn Apple changed how icon movement works. This means tweaks such as AlwaysArrange have been rendered useless on iOS 6. However, themers will be hapy to know jailbreak developer chpwn has updated the very popular jailbreak tweak Gridlock with iOS 6 support.

Gridlock 2.0 allows you to place your app icons anywhere on your Home screen without other apps replacing them. This gives you the ability to create different patterns, or to show off your wallpaper by moving apps out of the way. Gridlock 2.0 is much better than using blank icons or hiding apps with other jailbreak tweaks.

DirectionBar is a neat little tweak that makes the iOS status bar more informative. If you ever wanted to know which direction you were headed without having to open the Compass app, then this tweak is for you. Once installed, a live compass appears on the status bar right next to the Wi-Fi or cellular data icon. Moving your iPhone will result in the compass arrow moving accordingly, always pointing north.

Under the settings for DirectionBar, there's a selection of different compass arrows to choose from. Nine different icons will point you in the right direction, but if this isn't enough you can download additional icons from Cydia. A custom icon can even be created in .png format and installed into the directory /Library/Application/Support/StatusCompass/ if you're feeling creative.

Some tweaks are incredibly simple. So simple you might question whether or not they’re even useful enough to install. One such jailbreak tweak is highlightGeneral. The basic theory behind the tweak goes like this, some of the most important iPhone settings are found under Settings -> General.

The more apps and jailbreak tweaks you have installed, the more cluttered the Settings area becomes. One could argue that highlighting the General section in a different color makes it easier to find. That’s just what highlightGeneral makes possible once installed.

Rotation lock is a useful feature, until it gets in the way. For example, reading on the iPhone can be easier with the lock enabled, to prevent everything from spinning around when you lie down. The problem happens when rotation is locked, and you’re trying to watch a widescreen video.

Your iPhone is forced to display this video in the vertical orientation, making the picture incredibly small with large black letterboxing at the top and bottom of the display. Fixing this involves switching off rotation lock then rotating the iPhone and restarting the video. The LandscapeVideo tweak makes this process easier on jailbroken devices.
