Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
Those who depend on the iOS 13-centric Odyssey jailbreak tool for all their iPhone and/or iPad liberation needs will be excited to learn that there’s a new update available. The latest version of Odyssey at the time of this writing is now 1.1.0.
The Odyssey Team announced the new update for the Odyssey jailbreak late last night via Twitter, and from what we can gather, it brings both bug fixes and improvements to the app’s built-in theming capabilities:
Anyone with a jailbroken device can tell you that SpringBoard crashes are often par for the course. This is particularly the case after loading your handset up with a plethora of jailbreak tweaks, namely those that aren’t well-made or that tend to conflict with each other for one reason or another.
In some cases, jailbreak tweak developers may request crash logs from users to troubleshoot and determine why a tweak caused SpringBoard to crash. It’s because of this that having easy access to crash logs can be useful, and that’s why we’re excited to show you Crash, a new crash log viewer made especially for iOS 13 by iOS developer Antique.
It’s no secret that the music listening experience on the iOS platform has remained somewhat stagnant over the past few years, but if you’re avidly searching for something to make things a bit more exciting and you have a jailbroken handset at your disposal, then a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Lobelias by iOS developer Litten offers a great place to start.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, Lobelias gives iOS’ Now Playing interface a much-needed facelift and integrates a plethora of user-configurable aesthetics so that you can achieve the look and feel you want. Right off the bat, notable changes include the rounded album artwork, redesigned media controls, changes to the background, and new text label positions, among other things.
Jailbreakers have a bevy of different opinions when it comes to the best jailbreak tweaks for their particular device, but if there’s one thing most can agree on, it’s the fact that the freedom of jailbreaking offers a new level of thrill and excitement to any device it gets paired with.
In this roundup, we’ll be showcasing all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, August 7th to Sunday, August 13th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorites first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Apple made the right decision when switching from traditional LCD display panels to higher-end OLED display panels in its flagship smartphones, but one can’t help but question why iOS doesn’t take better advantage of the deeper black color tones made possible with OLED display technology.
If you have a jailbroken OLED display-equipped iPhone at your disposal and you’ve been asking yourself the aforementioned question since the day you first picked up the device, then we think you’re likely to enjoy a free jailbreak tweak dubbed Lisa by iOS developers Litten and Esquilli.
The Status Bar is a persistent element that presents itself in the vast majority of iOS apps and user interfaces. The lone exception to this rule of thumb would of course be full-screen apps such as mobile games, video playback, and a small number of other exceptions.
Despite being hidden from the aforementioned interfaces, iPhone users can open Notification Center to view the Status Bar by swiping down from the top of the display to reveal a grabber and then tugging down on the grabber. Unfortunately, this is a multi-step process and rather cumbersome, and that’s the chief reason why a new jailbreak tweak called Grabbi by iOS developer Arielgavrielov exists.
One full week has passed since Apple released iOS & iPadOS 13.7 to the general public, and like clockwork, the Cupertino-based tech company has pulled the plug on its signage of the older iOS & iPadOS 13.6.1 firmware for iPhones and iPads alike Tuesday evening.
The rather predictable move means that iPhone and iPad owners are now unable to downgrade the firmware they run on their handset of choice after upgrading to the newer iOS or iPadOS 13.7 release.
Apple Music is one of the best ways to enjoy music streaming on an iPhone or iPad, but if you’re using iOS 13, then you might be scratching your head as to why Apple made some of the design choices they did; namely with regard to the card-style Now Playing interface. This topic becomes even more relevant when you stop to consider the fact that iOS 14 will make the app look more how it should have looked from the very beginning.
If you have a jailbroken iOS 13 device at your disposal and you have no plans to upgrade to iOS 14 when it launches this Fall, then you might be excited to learn that a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed FullPlay by iOS developer Ethan Whited can bring the iOS 14 Music app’s more pleasant aesthetics to pwned iOS 13 devices.
First and foremost, your iPhone is an internet-based communications device, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it for other things. The handset’s rear-facing LED flash, for example, doubles as a convenient multi-stage flashlight when you’re stuck in the dark.
Stock iPhone users are limited to using the Lock Screen’s flashlight quick action button or using Control Center’s toggle button from anywhere else in iOS. But in those awkward slick-fingered situations where using a touch screen simply isn’t a viable option, a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Manaar by iOS developer Plat-Ykor could come in handy.
One thing most jailbreakers have in common is that they like to configure their device in ways that Apple would never allow out of the box. One of the best ways to do that is with the help of jailbreak tweaks.
In this roundup, we'll showcase all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, August 31st to Sunday, September 6th. As usual, we'll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Apple took great care to make the iOS notification system both effective and easy to use, but one negative side effect of implementing simplicity in this department is that it tends to be somewhat lackluster in features, especially where it counts.
SmartNotifications is a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Elias Sfeir that fills the aforementioned void by providing users with a bevy of additional options pertaining to iPhone notifications on a per-app basis.
Cydia Substrate isn’t the only tweak injector receiving new updates as of late. Libhooker, the premier tweak injection method for the iOS 13-based Odyssey jailbreak and for the Odysseyra1n script for the checkra1n jailbreak, just got a fresh upgrade to version 1.3.0 with some notable improvements.
Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar announced the updated libhooker release Saturday night via Twitter, and further described the update and everything it brings in the official Discord channel:
