Enable iPhone Hidden Panorama Camera Mode On iPhone & iPad (Cydia)

A moment ago, we have reported about the hidden iPhone’s panorama camera mode, and right after that someone actually comes up with a simple hack to enable it on the iPhone, but the method needs some advanced skills, because hack requires changes in plist files of iOS 5. It’s not a long time ago. We have posted about the news, and here the new jailbreak tweak lands in Cydia with the aim to simply enable panorama mode on the iPhone running iOS 5.
The tweak comes from the iPhone hacker, who has recently discovered the panorama mode of the iPhone camera. The new jailbreak tweak called “Firebreak” and contains simple changes in plist files, but in the background. You don’t need to edit them manually through iFile or any other platform software.
How To Enabled iPhone Panorama Camera Mode
So, if you want the new hidden iPhone’s camera panorama mode on your device running iOS 5, simply launch Cydia on your device by jailbreaking it, and then find for a tweak called “Firebreak.” Firebreak is a free jailbreak tweak available in Cydia’s BigBoss repo. It does require a jailbroken iOS 5 devices with a built in gyroscope

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?

How To Launch Any App On iPhone 4S Using Siri

We all have done couple of tricks with Apple’s newly launched iPhone 4S Siri, and obviously asked couple of non-sense questions to check out its silliness. While Apple has baked it with a lot of potential features, but still it misses out many handy features. Some days ago, we have published a tip for Siri users, which allows them to directly tweet and update their Facebook status right from Siri panel. So far, we have tested couple things with Siri, but no one has yet come up with an idea to use Siri for opening third-party installed applications on the device.
Opening an application on iPhone 4S sounds really interesting, but anyone knows how is it possible? May be no one knows! If you don’t know, Apple has cool url based structure in its iOS core system that allow users or typically developers to launch their apps right from Safari by simply visiting the device URL. So in this trick, actually you have to read about your favorite apps internal URL system, and create some fake contact entries in iPhone 4S.
As we know, Siri can call anyone in your contact book, by simply calling the contact name. So all you have to do is create a contact with application URL, such as you can open Facebook for iPhone in Safari by visiting “fb://” on your device. Here is a list of some URL schemes: fb:// (Facebook), tweetbot://, reeder://, itms-apps:// (iTunes Music), maps://, sms:// (Messages), music://, youtube:// and itms-books:// (iBooks).
 
Alex of iDB explains this method working as:
To create a Facebook shortcut for Siri, make a new contact and name it something like “Facebook Shortcuts.” Then, add a bunch of the URL schemes from above. After you are done with it, tell Siri something along the lines of “show Facebook shortcuts.”

While using this method, you can at least get the application running on the device, but didn’t get any further access on device through Siri voice commands. Apple has not yet announced any feature of Siri which allow users to open or control any application using Siri API key.
