Jailbreak tweaks of the week: PowerGuard, Xeon, and more

Jailbreak Tweaks of the Week

While it’s possible to enjoy a jailbreak on iOS 11 or 12 right now by way of Chimera, Electra, or unc0ver, we’re particularly excited about the future as the checkm8 bootrom exploit lights the way for a bright future for the community.

If you’re as fired up about jailbreaking as we are, then you’re probably looking for ways to customize your pwned handset. In this roundup, we’ll show you all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from the past week. As always, we’ll start by showcasing our favorites and wrap things up with an outline afterward.

Our favorite releases this week

PowerGuard – FREE

PowerGuard

PowerGuard is a free jailbreak tweak that can prevent others from powering down your jailbroken handset when you aren’t looking.

This is particularly useful if you have a semi-tethered or tethered jailbreak, as each of these require the handset to be re-jailbroken after a reboot.

PowerGuard can be had for free from the Packix repository.

Xeon – FREE

Xeon

If you remember the popular Status Bar customization tweak Zeppelin, then a new release called Xeon should seem particularly familiar.

Just as the context implies, Xeon lets you customize your iPhone’s Status Bar in various ways. The tweak is optimized for notched handsets such as the iPhone X, XS, and XS Max and lets you apply custom icons, replace carrier text, and more.

You can learn more about Xeon and the options it lets you configure in our full review.
