Video: BBSettings

BBSettings is a new tweak for our iDevices that are now in the testing period but it successfully replaces SBSeetings developed by BigBoss. The new tweak is special designed for iOS 5 to work only in Notifications Center so you do not install the iOS 4.

In terms of features included, you will find great things exactly the same as SBSettings but BBSettings comes with a new way to present options and menus but unfortunately it comes with a limitation in terms of compatibility with the operating system iOS 5 .

In terms of functions available, we can view information about any aspects of our device, from information about brightness and Wi-Fi to free and available memory and the processes that are open in the background.

BBSettings has included even the option to add favorite applications in a special menu where can be accessed much more easily than in the Springboard. The developers have even added the option to directly see the Notifications Center and open applications in the background so you will not have to use the Home button.

Apple is working on implementation in iOS 5 of a new feature voice control, called Assistant. The new feature was discovered by those from 9 to 5 Mac, with a screenshot provided by a “reliable source”. Assistant is not yet in the current development version of iOS beta 5, so it is likely to be exclusively feature for the iPhone 5. (Just as Voice Control was exclusive for 3GS.)

The leak suggests that in addition to text conversion in speech and ordering the basic functions of the iPhone, the new program also will integrate the technology used in Siri application that Apple has purchased recently. Siri is a free application that uses data stored on your device, such as location, calendar events and many others to find the best way to fulfill your request.

For example, if you say “Find me two tickets to the Transformers movie tonight”, Assistant will find available tickets to a location nearest for you. In addition, the application will have the ability to respond to the user.

According to sources, the feature is still in the process of development and may not be ready in time for launch the next generation of iPhone. May be one of the many programs that Apple is testing. We will wait and see.
