SmartTap Tweak Lets You Wake Your iDevice By Double-Tapping the Screen

SmartTap is a new tweak from Elias Limneos that lets you wake your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by double-tapping the screen. The tweak may be particularly useful for those with damaged power or home buttons.

You can also use other gestures, like slide up from the bottom or slide down from top of the screen while its off, and have it perform a different action like, unlock the device or launch a particular application. Right from your locked device with the screen being off!

SmartTap uses the digitizer sensor when the screen goes off, without keeping the screen on. Battery consumption is said to be minimal; however, a flipswitch lets you turn the tweak on or off at any time.


You can purchase SmartTap from the Cydia Store for $1.99.
