You may recall nearing the end of 2023 when iOS developer LeminLimez released an add-on called Helium for customizing the Status Bar on both TrollStore-enabled and jailbroken devices.

VisibleIsland and mineland jailbreak tweaks move the Dynamic Island below the notch on unsupported devices
If you’ve ever used something such as DynamicCowTS to enable the Dynamic Island user experience on unsupported older notched iPhones, then you may have noticed how it doesn’t exactly align well with the notch despite working correctly. Specifically, it overlaps the notch halfway, blocking some of it from view.
New OCD (Obsessive Color Disorder) jailbreak tweak tastefully colorizes app badges & icon labels
I’m a big fan of jailbreak tweaks that modify the appearance of the stock iOS & iPadOS user interface, and perhaps that’s one of the reasons why I’m excited about a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called OCD (Obsessive Color Disorder) by iOS developer b4db1r3.

VÄ“ is another advanced notification logging jailbreak tweak for iPhones, but this one is free
Over the weekend, we showed you a remarkable jailbreak tweak called Senri that logged and archived all of your handset’s incoming notifications so that you could browse through them at a future date.
Senri archives every notification you open on your iPhone so you can search for it again later
One of the things I’ve always sort of disliked about the iOS & iPadOS notification experience is that once you open a notification, it disappears for good. It runs contrary to how it feels to archive an email you’ve already read and then still be able to search for that email thread again in the future. In some ways, I wish I could do the same with my smartphone notifications.
ShadowBuster eliminates the shadows that iOS puts behind text against bright wallpapers
When you use too bright of a wallpaper, iOS & iPadOS sometimes try to make labels and text that sit against it easier to read by introducing a shadow effect underneath that text.
SeeSaw re-maps the iPad’s volume buttons to match the volume HUD slider direction in landscape mode
One of the things that iPad owners must cope with on a regular basis is the fact that Apple’s tablet can go into landscape orientation one of two ways – left to right, or right to left. Still, the volume buttons remain in their same positions, with the one closer of the top of the screen boosting volume and the one further from the top of the screen lowering volume.
