Apple’s automatic orientation feature for iOS devices is nice, but it’s not always ideal. Sometimes we will be lying down in our beds on our side and when we go to use our iPhones, it will rotate on us unintentionally, assuming we want landscape mode because the device is sideways as far as gravity is concerned.

If you have the tethered iOS 6 jailbreak on your iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, or iPhone 3GS, then take a look at this new free jailbreak tweak. CleanActivity by iOS developer r_plus will allow you to clean up your sharing menu in iOS 6.

As shown above, you can simply hide any of the sharing buttons that you don’t use or you feel just take up too much room on your screen. If you don’t have an AirPrint-enabled printer, then you might want to disable the Print button. If you ...

Chances are you don’t have Siri on your iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G, or iPhone 3GS. There are Siri ports, but most of the services cost money that you might not be willing to pay. If you want voice assistant functionality for free, then you may have turned to Google’s new Google Search application, which includes a version of Google Now that can be used to search the Web through the Google Search app even on these older iOS devices that don't have Siri.
