We’re crossing our fingers and toes so hard we can barely type and walk, since it looks like the oft-delayed Dragon launch will take place tomorrow. SpaceX founder Elon Musk confirmed that the company had passed final launch review with NASA and that everything was set for the Falcon 9 to lift off at 4:15AM ET on May 19th. The lift-off will be broadcast live from the official website and is on course to be the first private spaceflight to dock and deliver essential supplies to the International Space Station. For our part? We wish the craft (and the ground crew) all the best and hope it’s a perfect flight — we wanna stay in a space hotel sooner rather than later.

This implies that now we need a new Cydia tweak that can launch an app (other than the stock caméra) when the grabber is slid upwards.

In March of this year (2012), Nous avons couvert une Android app called Auto Start, ce qui a permis utilisateurs to pick one app of choice that they wish to be launched automatically upon system reboot. Although the app worked effectively with said feature, but the option of selecting a max of just one favorite app is something that might’ve left many utilisateurs yearning for availing the liberty of pushing, dire, one or two more additional Apps to the auto launch list. If you’re among these utilisateurs, you’d be glad to know that there’s now an app available in the Google Play Store that lets you select as many Apps of choice as you like to be right in front of your eyes each time you reboot your DISPOSITIF. Available in the Google Play Store by the name of Auto Launcher, the app saves you from the hassle of manually launching your most frequently required Android Apps upon each system reboot.
