Flex it is an application that is going to be published in Cydia, allowing anyone to develop patches for our iDevices. The application is basically an assistant that allows us to implement an extremely wide range of functions in a patch, the application being the one that writes the code and implements everything, now we only have to choose the desired options from a list. The application is made especially for those who don't know how to write code, but would like to make patches and will definitely be extremely sought after after the release.
For the past few weeks I've been working on a rather large project. It's a new jailbreak app called Flex. What it does is let you create small tweaks, share what you create, and download others' shared tweaks. I expect to release it pretty soon, just need to have it go through a beta phase. Patches are very easy to make, and give you quite a lot of power. You can make them for any application you have installed, even SpringBoard. They don't contain any real code, the tweak portion of Flex is actually what does all the heavy lifting... so basically these patches can't be installed outside of Flex.
Using Flex we can modify an extremely wide range of iOS functions, eliminating the need to use separate tweaks from Cydia, but the bad part is that everything we build using Flex can only be used if the application is installed in our terminals. Patches made using Flex cannot be used on other terminals that do not have the application installed, so we cannot sell tweaks in Cydia. The good part is that we can customize our iOS in a completely new way and we can modify the functionality of third-party applications, based on what we discover in the application.
Yeah, with the help of the community I believe this has huge potential, because it brings tweak making to everyone. Absolutely no programming knowledge is needed. You basically search for a keyword that's related to what you want to change. Say you want to increase the amount of tabs Safari can have. So you make a new patch, and search for "maximum". You'll find two results, one which says "maxiumumTabDocumentCount" You click it, change the return value to 30 and suddenly you can have 30 Safari tabs.
Flex is to be released in the near future in Cydia.
