The Cydia App store on the other hand is much better and this why jailbreaking can be really useful. Cydia allows innovation through its developers to produce some of the best apps, tweaks and mods for your iPhone. One good example of this innovation is FlipOver. As the title of this article suggests, FlipOver allows you to lock or mute your iPhone by turning it face down. Pretty cool isn’t it? This can come really useful when you are say in a meeting. As soon as your iPhone rings you can turn it over on its face. This will result in the iPhone getting silenced and avoid the obvious embarrassment (of course, keeping the iPhone in silent always is the permanent solution for no embarrassment). Installing and setting up this hack is also very simple. Open Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone and simply search for FlipOver. Download it and it will get installed. There is no additional icon installed on your home screen and you easily change options for the app by going into the Setting app and scrolling down to FlipOver. Even though the number of options in the app is limited, FlipOver delivers what it offers perfectly. In the settings you can switch on/off the mute/lock option as well as changing the sensitivity and refresh rates. This will allow you to change the settings for how flat your iPhone has to be before it gets muted or locked. Unfortunately, this tweak is not free but for only $0.99 it offers something really innovative and this app is perfect if you were looking for an app like this.
