Cydia, the other app store, is something that takes customizing your jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to a whole new level. Dozens of new, amazing jailbreak tweaks go live in Cydia each day and today we've picked up a simple yet amazing tweak to share with you. The tweak is called Double At, and it allows you to automatically enter your email address anywhere on your jailbroken iOS device.
Understanding Cydia isn't that difficult. Basically, it's a front end apt package installer for your jailbroken iOS device. The best part about Cydia is that there's an endless variety of themes, hacks, jailbreak tweaks and apps that you can choose from. Those apps which are rejected by Apple for inclusion in the iTunes App Store also make their way on to Cydia, as it doesn't have any stringent approval guidelines for apps the way iTunes App Store has.
Obviously, to install the Double At jailbreak tweak on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you first need to jailbreak it. Not to worry, iPhoneism is here to help you out with in-depth and easy step by step tutorials. Follow our guides to jailbreak iOS 5 beta firmware, jailbreak iOS 4.3.5 and 4.3.4 and to jailbreak iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.3. (You can only jailbreak iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.3 using JailbreakMe 3.0). These tutorials are exactly the same for both Windows and Mac computers.
Double At jailbreak tweak is hosted in the BigBoss repository which comes pre-installed on Cydia, meaning that you don't have to manually add the BigBoss repository in Cydia. The best part is that Double At is available free of cost. Simply search for it in Cydia and install it. No new icons will be added to the Home screen and you can configure the options in the Settings.app.
By going in the Settings.app, you can add your email address as shown in the picture above. Once added, you may tap the "@" key twice at any text field on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and your email will automatically be added. This jailbreak tweak is very handy for those who send out a lot of emails using their device. Tip: You don't necessarily have to use it to automatically enter your email only, you may add any text of your choice in the Settings.app and double tapping "@" key will automatically enter it in the text fields.
So tell us, how do you plan on using Double At jailbreak tweak?
