How to Enable Panorama Mode in iOS 5 [Video]

We’ve created an easy to follow video tutorial that shows you how to add the hidden panorama mode to iOS 5′s Camera app.

You will need a jailbroken iOS 5 device in order to do it, and you will also need iFile if you want to follow this specific tutorial.

If you meet those prerequisites, step inside to see how to enable panorama mode on iOS 5…

Step 1: Open iFile and Navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences

Step 2: Tap on com.apple.mobileslideshow.plist and select Property List Viewer

Step 3: Tap the ‘+’ button in the bottom right-hand corner

Step 4: In the name field type: EnableFirebreak. In the Type field select: Boolean

Step 5: Tap Create in the upper right-hand corner and turn the switch to “on for EnableFirebreak, then tap done.

Step 6: Exit iFile, and respring your device

Step 7: Open the Camera app, tap options, and tap Panorama

Again, you will need a jailbroken device running iOS 5 to do this. You will also need a device with a built in gyroscope (iPhone 4, etc).

If you don’t feel like editing any plist values, then you can always wait until tomorrow now when Chpwn releases his Firebreak tweak that does the same thing.

Did it work for you? How do you like Panorama mode?
