Chat Heads Coming For Jailbroken Devices Very Soon [Video]

From a few days we’ve showed you a demo video made by developer, Adam Bell, and in the past few days he has been working so hard to bring a beautiful and redesigned Chat Heads jailbreak tweak for all jailbroken devices. And as most of you know Chat Heads feature was first introduced in the Facebook v6.0 that brought a lot of great features and improvements… But the developer is currently hard at work on implementing Facebook’s Chat Head feature system-wide on iOS, and he’s made some great progress.

First Adam posted a demo video for what the tweak will looks like on a jailbroken device and it is was rough:

But today and it was first posted by the folks at The Verge, Bell’s Chat Head integration with iOS looks to be coming along much faster than many anticipated. Take a look at a hands-on video inside.

Per The Verge:

 Chat Heads inhabit a separate layer inside the Facebook app, so it was just a matter of finding that layer and making the rest of the app transparent. “The hardest part was getting this all to render on top of everything else,” Bell says, which means Facebook is always running on your phone. 

 Even though the Facebook app will be “always running” as a transparent layer, apparently this will have minimal impact on battery life. One thing that Bell’s implementation of Chat Heads can’t do, is integrate with SMS messages like it can on Android. Given the fast turnaround time with this project, though, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of that happening in the future.

Chat Heads for iOS will be available in the next few days for FREE on Cydia, so keep yourself updated.
