Jailbreak tweaks definitely come fast and often in Cydia. However decent ones, not so much. This is why the concept of the tweak ‘Carnitine’ is such a potential success. The concept is simple; only allow Wi-Fi usage in certain apps. The reason this is so useful, is that radios coming from your device use up a lot of battery and resources, and if you’re using an application such as ‘Temple Run’ or something similar, there’s no real need to have your Wi-Fi radio active.
As you see, if Carnitine is enabled on your device, you’ll get a pop up when you launch an app for the first time asking whether you’d like to ‘enable Wi-Fi every time you open this app?’. Wi-Fi will then be permentently enabled/disabled depending on what you selected – in that specific application. Here’s an example: I need Wi-Fi whilst I have the YouTube app open, so I’d enable it for that. Whereas I have no use for Wi-Fi in the calculator App, so I’d disable it.
It’s a very cool concept, and no doubt it will catch on some more in the future. There are a few bugs in this version, so you may want to wait until a slightly more polished iteration is released by the developer – which I’m sure won’t take long.
