Some of the best jailbreak tweaks for the display on iOS 14

There are all kinds of different ways you can trick out your iPhone or iPad once you liberate it with a jailbreak, and if you’re new to the scene, then you might not know where you should start.

At iDownloadBlog, we work around the clock to ensure our readers are familiar with the best ways tweak their jailbroken handsets, and that’s one of the chief reasons why we curate dedicated jailbreak tweak roundup lists just like this one.

In today’s piece, we’ll focus on what we believe some of the best jailbreak tweaks for upgrading the capabilities of your jailbroken iOS or iPadOS 14 device’s display. So without any further ado, let’s get started!

The best display jailbreak tweaks for iOS 14

Photon – $2.99

Perhaps one of my favorite ways to augment the display on my jailbroken iPhone running iOS 14 is with a tweak called Photon, which brings an always-on-display experience to supported handsets, which is most of them, but looks best on those equipped with OLED displays.

Photon is one of the easiest-to-configure tweaks in its class and offers a number of different aesthetic options. Whether you want your always-on-display to look like those on Android handsets or have more of an Apple Watch-styled aesthetic, this tweak has all your bases covered.

You can learn everything you need to know about Photon and what it brings to the table in our full review post.

attention – FREE

When you leave your iPhone idle for a while, the display’s backlight begins to dim before ultimately falling asleep. This is a sensical battery-savings measure, but when you’re jailbroken, you can break the sensical rules a bit with a jailbreak tweak called attention.

What attention does is replace the display’s native dimming feature with a blur effect instead. The blur effect evokes what seems like an out of focus vibe, which is interesting since my display usually falls asleep on me when I find myself zoning out.

More details about attention can be found in our full review post.

AdvancedBrightnessSlider – FREE

When you go to Control Center to make granular display brightness adjustments via the display brightness slider control, the process is relatively straightforward, but it can only go so dark.

AdvancedBrightnessSlider is a free jailbreak tweak that incorporates a new element of creativity by allowing the display to dim further than it normally could via the Control Center brightness slider by incorporating iOS’ native Reduce White Point feature when lowering your display brightness below a certain threshold.

If you’re ready to make your display easier to look at in low-light situations, then you should read all about AdvancedBrightnessSlider in our full review post.

AlwaysOnMusic – FREE

Those who listen to lots of music on their jailbroken iPhones will probably enjoy using a free jailbreak tweak called AlwaysOnMusic, as it incorporates an always-on-display experience whenever you have music playing in the background.

The idea behind this tweak is to keep users consistently aware of what’s playing in the background, even when the device would typically fall asleep. Information about what’s playing is displayed along with the time in a battery-friendly fashion for OLED display-equipped handsets.

CAHighFPS – FREE

There are tons of games on the App Store that limit gameplay frame rates below the native frame rate capabilities of your display, such as Plants vs. Zombies 2.

CAHighFPS is a free jailbreak tweak that can force many of those games to increase their frame rates to match the capabilities of your display hardware, such as using 60FPS on a 60FPS display panel instead of using 30FPS on a 60FPS display panel.

If you’re interested in making your games look better on faster displays, then you can read about CAHighFPS in our full review post.

Glow – $2.79

If you like always-on-displays, but you want more customization and a lengthier feature set than some of those mentioned above, then Glow would be an excellent option.

Glow offers always-on-display functionality that look sweet on OLED-equipped displays, and the different kinds of always-on-display aesthetics that you can toggle are as eye-catching as they are configurable.

We strongly advise checking out our full review post on Glow to learn more about what it’s capable of.

Tritium – $1.49

And if you’re on a budget, but still want a highly configurable always-on-display jailbreak tweak for your OLED display-equipped iPhone, then Tritium is a good place to look considering that it’s around half the price of those mentioned above.

Despite being cheaper, Tritium offers an excessive amount of customization that can help you get the unique aesthetics you desire. It’s also just as battery-friendly if used in OLED displays.

You can learn everything you need to know about Tritium and what it offers in our full review post.
