Anyone know any tweaks to hide the dock background? I'm on an iPhone 4

I use Flex to hide that blur background. I just have the 4 apps in the dock and you can see the bottom of the wallpaper too. Flex is so badass. I love messing around with it tweaking ALL kinds of stuff. I find it so addicting haha

Edit: This is what the first page of my home screen looks like. I also used flex to hide my carrier.

Edit again: FYI, you can use flex to hide any status bar element. There's a post on reddit with instructions on how to remove just about everything in your status bar. Pretty effin sweet.

What is the name of the Flex tweak you're using? There's so many so I'm not sure which one.

Flex 2 Beta. It's free right now since it's in beta but it'll be (I think) a $2 upgrade fee if you already own a copy and $4 for anyone new. I'm pretty sure it's always cost $4. I'm almost positive that's what I paid shortly after it first came out.

If you're on 6.x use the original flex. If you're on 7.x use the Flex 2 beta. I'll post the repo in one minute. Just gotta grab it for you.

Edit: the repo is http://getdelta.co

Edit again: Is this your first time using flex? Normally, users can upload tweaks to the cloud and then anyone can download them. But right now while it's in beta and since he's making some upgrades to the cloud, users cannot upload tweak at the moment. Therefore, everything in the cloud is pre iOS 7. Some tweaks "may" work but most likely they do not. I've tried several of them and only got 1 to work.

For now, you can either try to create your own tweaks (extremely difficult if you have zero programming experience) or go hit up Reddit (this is the better option for beginners).

www.reddit.com/r/flextweak

Thats a subreddit for Flex tweaks. A lot of them give you step by step instructions on how to create the tweaks yourself. I couldn't make my own tweaks until I saw how this app worked and saw how other people created tweaks. After learning from them, I started to make my own.

CallBar and Activator have both been updated for iOS 7. Is that what you are asking? If you go to their cydia page it says this as well.

I'm using both on my 5s and they work awesome! Feels so good to be jaiobroken again and getting all my favorite tweaks back!
 
Does cloaky remove the media player controls completely, or does it make it only visible if there's media being played? Since this is a paid tweak, it'd be great to know this before installing. Thanks in advance for your answer. :D

Looks like it is sort of permanent. I played music using default music player and the media controls would not show up. But you can disable the hiding of the controls if you want, does not need a respring.

Bolt works fine!

QuickEmoji updated. But does not work in landscape. And shows only first icon in portrait mode

Bolt works ? Which version you downloaded ? I think i tried v0.6
I tried respring and all but still would not work.
iPhone 4S on 7.0.4 here.

Cool thanks, what about the rest?
 
Lol no problem. Zephyr not yet (if you go to the cydia page it says this as well). Zephyr will prolly take some time. The others no cue. I don't use them. Sorry.

Cool. What is the most reliable place that has a full updated list of all compatible tweaks?
 
Has anyone tried out Homescreen Designer for the 5s? If so, does it work?

I'm not sure. I just follow CydiaUodates and various big name devs on twitter plus I check iDownloadBlog about once a day. Aside from that, I am active here and occasionally check reddit.

Then the best source is cydia itself. Typically, looking at the package will tell you if it's compatible with your device. Either on the main page or the package description page. That's how I stay up to date.

I think CCHide can hide the media player controls permanently, or you can make it only show up when you're playing media

what do you mean by flex is free right now?
 
What's the version of bolt that you're installing? Is it from the default repo or the dev's repo?

i reinstalled the one from the default repos and it still isn't working for me

I'm using 0.6 version from BigBoss. Try to install with "no percent sign".

I'm looking to remove the battery icon. I like the percent sign there

Edit: just looked at the tweak and seems that it's "no percent sign" that's removing the battery icon in your screenshot, not bolt
 
I'm trying to hide the stock apps. Poof didn't work and I tried hiddensettings icon adaptive colours close-boxes everywhere. I can see the cross on the icons but can't tap them to delete? any ideas? I'm on iphone4..

Cheers

Yeah, tried that. but CCHide only works with default Music app. It's not working with Spotify. :( Here's hoping that it will be updated with support for spotify. :)
 
I`m having a problem with Callbar on my iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4, the problem is that whenever i get a call, the callbar only appears for a few seconds and then the phone dims down, just like when you hit the homebutton and never use the slide to unlock.

Anyone else experiencing this?
 
My workaround for Zephyr is to create and gesture in Activator that
simulates a home button press. I use "slide" from the bottom up on the right side of the screen. I'm happy so far with the results.

Is there any way to deactivate the pull up menu?

Cool, thanks. Do the Jailbreak and all of the tweaks work the sake on the 4S?

What is the patch I need to download from Flex 2 beta in order to unblur the dock ? I tried TransparentDock but it would be great if I can do it through Flex.

I'lll add that flex 2 beta is really amazing and some of the tweaks are fantastic like blocking all iads, no sponsored posts in facebook, etc... I'd like to know the above request as well.
 
Is there a tweak which turns off parallax?

HiddenSpringboardSettings > Parallax. You have 4 submenus. Turn everything off or down and this will disable Parallax but keep all animations.
I've done that and under Animation Overrides I've set the Slow Factor to 0.60. That's how I have all animations without Parallax and it works great. iPhone 5 on iOS 7.0.4

Is there any way to deactivate the pull up menu (wi-fi, Bluetooth etc) so that I can use Zephyr?

Also, do the Jailbreak and all of the tweaks work the sake on the 4S?

You mean Control Center?
Dunno about a tweak that can do that.

And why it shouldn't work on 4S when it works on 5?
4S and 5 have the same architecture (32bit) which is only different to the iPhone 5S (64bit), so yes, it works on 4S too ;)

Yeah, you can turn off control center someone said.

How about delete word and Sleipnizer?
