Aoraki: Jailbreak tweak provides system-wide access to shortcuts in iOS 8

aoraki3
There are a bunch of tweaks in Cydia that allow you to quickly compose a Whatsapp message, tweet a post, share a song and more. Aoraki is an all-in-one jailbreak tweak that provides system-wide access to such shortcuts in iOS 8.
The tweak adds a green floating button to the screen which can be accessed from anywhere within iOS. Tapping on the button opens a new interface providing the following shortcuts:
  • Quick compose for Whatsapp, Mail, iMessage, Twitter and Facebook
  • Share files using iOS’s filesystem
  • Share songs and photos on your device
  • Quickly enable or disable various settings toggles
  • Open the camera
  • Search the App Store, Amazon store, Instagram, Twitter and various other sources
  • Respring, reboot or shutdown your device
  • Put your device into safemode
  • Clean the user interface cache
The tweak also allows you to re-position the floating button on the screen by long holding on it and dragging it around the screen.
Once you install the tweak, a new preferences pane will be added to the Settings app dedicated to Aoraki. From there, you can enable or disable it on demand, customize the color of the shortcut interface, adjust the size of the tweak’s button as well as the shortcut icons and customize the look of the preferences pane.

Aoraki works perfectly as advertised and provides shortcuts that you’ll find useful but it still has space for more improvements before it can reach perfection. I’m not a big fan of its interface. The big shortcut buttons make the screen look cluttered and not very convenient to scroll up and down and some of them don’t even have an icon.
If you’re interested to take this tweak for a ride, Aoraki is available for $1.99 in Cydia’s BigBoss repository.
