Cydia Tweek : Couria is available in Cydia for iOS 8

Couria
Just a few weeks ago, the beta version of Couria was available for download from the developer’s private repo. The good news is that the stable version of the tweak is now available in Cydia for free and brings various new features that weren’t available in the beta version.
While Quick Reply is already available in iOS 8 Messages, Couria improves the feature by allowing you to view its interface in full screen rather than as a text field under the notification banner. You can swipe down the notification banner till the end of the screen to view Quick Reply in full screen. The interface displays the complete conversation with the recipient and allows you to reply back to the message from there.
One of the best features of Couria is the ability to quickly compose a new message from anywhere within iOS 8. You can assign an Activator gesture to the tweak which can be used to launch Quick Compose. After invoking it, you’ll be displayed a list of all your recently contacted recipients.
You can tap on any of the contacts to whom you want to send a message or type his/her name in the search field provided. The tweak also allows you to invoke Quick Compose from the Lock screen.
One of the new additions of the tweak is the availability of a dedicated preferences pane where you can enable or disable Couria as well as choose a theme for the message bubbles from the three appearances available; Original, Outline and Custom.
Choosing Custom theme allows users to enter a custom color for the bubble and text color of both the sender and the recipient.
The pane also includes an ‘Authentication Required’ toggle which requires you to authenticate every time you use Quick Reply from the Lock screen. Unfortunately, no authentication is required if you invoke Quick Compose via an Activator gesture.
If you text your friends or use iMessage on a daily basis, you should definitely consider checking out Couria. The tweak is now available as a free download on Cydia’s BigBoss repo.

The best thing about getting a new computer is that, well, you’re getting a brand new computer. It’s exciting to have a shiny new toy to play with, making you wonder how you could have been using that old machine for so long. To me though, the major downside of getting a new computer is that you have to set it all up from scratch. I’m not going to lie; some of that is part of the fun, but it can also be stressful and time consuming. Take migrating your iTunes library to your new computer for example. There is nothing really fun in that, and if you have a large library, it could take hours. In this post, I will show you how to move your iTunes library to a new computer. Unfortunately I won’t be able to save you time or stress, but at least, you’ll have simple instructions on how to do transfer all your iTunes songs, albums, album covers, and playlists to a brand new computer.
