How to Install Jailbreak Tweaks on Your iPhone Without Cydia or iFile

There are a ton of great mods and tweaks available in Cydia, but occasionally there will be one you want to install that hasn't quite made it into one of the main repositories yet.

I have iFile and it works very efficiently, but you might not want to fork over the five bucks for it like I did. Fortunately, there is a free alternative to iFile called iFunBox, although it requires the use of your computer to perform actions.

With this app installed, you'd just plug your jailbroken iOS 7 device into your computer and begin navigating like any other file explorer. While it's a simple process, it does require a few more steps than using iFile would.

Step 2: Install AFC2ADDIf you plug your device and launch iFunBox now, you'll only have limited capability and no access to certain folders that are needed to manually install tweaks.

To be able to view and access these folders, you'll need to install afc2add from the ModMyi repo in Cydia. It's free and does what we need, which is grant access to root system files and folders.

For those interested in jailbreaking their A4 Apple devices (iPhone 4, 3GS, and 4th Gen iPod touch), a new update has been released that makes things a little easier. Unlike the previous Redsn0w iOS 6 jailbreak, the newest version, 0.9.15b1, comes with full support of the Cydia App store. Adding Cydia involved a bunch of extra steps including SSH rooting, but now it included with this newest update.

The lock screen in iOS 7 is great at giving you immediate access to notifications, weather forecasts, date and time, music controls, and even the camera, but for a sports fan like me, there one critical thing missing game scores and news highlights.

If you haven updated to iOS 7.1 yet, you in luck, because you can jailbreak your iOS 7.0 device and use the Sports Lockscreen tweak for easy access to scores and news for the four major league sports (MLB, NBA, NHL, and NFL) right from your lock screen.

Winterboard for iOS 7 allowed us to use some pretty great looking themes. Circulus and Space BlueBerry are both great, but a little too "fun" for me. If [url=http://www.officialpatriotsonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-JULIAN-EDELMAN-JERSEY.... you want something serious, yet appealing to the eye, then M is for you.

Unlike other themes, this one is not yet available on Cydia, so I be showing you how to manually place it on Winterboard. If you haven already, follow our guide on how to jailbreak your iOS 7 device (it incredibly easy), then get theming.

This theme is based off of Alexey Masalov iOS 7 Redesign Concept and it replaces the boring look of your icons.

Last week, Apple issued an iOS 7.0.6 update that fixed a serious security vulnerability that could allow hackers to steal passwords, read emails, and get info from other SSL encrypted communications.

Why You Should Update Your Device

SSL, which stands for Secure Sockets Layer, along with TLS (Transport Layer Security), establishes an encrypted link between a web server and your device to ensure a certified connection. The bug that Apple patched made it possible for hackers with a "privileged network position" to capture and alter any protected traffic.

SoftModders are always looking for ways to stand apart from everyone else, whether it getting a transparent dock background or adding extra app icons to your home screen. Different is always better.

Replacing your carrier name with a cool logo or custom text isn a very conspicuous tweak, but it is definitely an alternative to what everyone else has. All you need to do is jailbreak your iPhone running iOS 7 and use a few Cydia apps to tweak the status bar, which I cover below.
