Snoop Lion (formally known as Snoop Dogg) has released a "Sticker Camera" app, and plans to release a new game entitled Way of the Dogg for iOS and Android devices. Snoop Dogg's Snoopify Sticker Camera! is a photo sharing app which allows users to "Snoopify" their images with a variety of Snoop Dogg-inspired stickers. Once a photo is Snoppified, users can share them via Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The app includes several free stickers and booster packs, like the popular Snoop Hood Full Pack, for $1 to $2. The app is compatible with the iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. You can download it now for free through the App Store.

Taking a page from the Shaq Fu playbook, Snoop is also bringing his Xbox Live fighting game Way of the Dogg to iOS devices. The game is described as a "rhythm-action combat game".

“It’s the way you live, it’s the way you do what you do and captures the beat, the rhythm and the spirit of my music,” explained Snoop. “It’s not just about who you are ow where you've been, but where you are headed to. This game shows how we evolve as individuals and they've incorporated the journey of my own personal reincarnation as Snoop Lion into my character, the environments and the path that players have to follow.”

Check out the trailer for Way of the Dogg below.

The MiniPlayer that comes with iTunes 11 provides album art, audio controls and more in a compact window that saves space. Now you can bring this power directly to the iPhone home screen with the jailbreak tweak MiniPlayer. Why open the Music app if you don't have to?

The MiniPlayer interface was created by Ayecon theme designer Surenix, which means the tweak meshes right into iOS with a polished look. Swipe gestures can be used to hide, move or show the MiniPlayer, and the interface is collapsible to the right or left of the iPhone screen. Tapping the album art will open the Music app.

Sure, Siri is a personal assistant, but wouldn't it be great if the iPhone had a personal secretary, too? Now thanks to a jailbreak tweak called Secretary your device can read texts, notifications and even calendar events using the built-in text to speech functions of iOS.

Secretary can be set to read specific items including a count of missed calls, count of unread messages, SMS or iMessage senders and the content of the messages. Output can be piped through the iPhone speaker or a Bluetooth accessory.

In case you missed the memo, Injustice: Gods Among Us is free for all compatible iOS devices. Comic book fans who do not have a console, or can't afford the console version, should check out the iPhone or iPad app. The game is a pretty hefty download, so make sure you have enough space and are connected to Wi-Fi before downloading it to your device.

Warner Bros. describes the game as a "free to play collectible card game that allows you to build a roster of playable characters, moves and powers". The game is set in an alternate reality where Superman has murdered the Joker setting off a battle between his army and Batman's Insurgency. Injustice is a fighting game where your team of superheros and villains battle other DC Comics' characters.

T-Mobile announced it has sold more than 500,000 iPhones since it began selling the device in April, but the carrier also reported a 7 percent decline in revenue, according to AllThingsD. However, CEO John Legere said changes like acquiring MetroPCS and ending phone subsidies are having a "positive impact" on the company.

“Our first quarter operating metrics and financial results are showing positive impact from the changes we began making in the fourth quarter. CEO John Legere said in a statement. "Things only get more exciting from here, having brought T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS together to create the wireless industry’s value leader and premier challenger.”
