Keeping up with the latest jailbreak hubbub these days can be a challenge, especially with everyone having discussions on a wide variety of platforms. Thankfully, we’re here to help bring it all together into one convenient place.

In this week’s roundup, we’ll show you all the latest jailbreak tweak releases and jailbreak-centric news spanning the week of Monday, July 19th to Sunday, July 24th.

As usual, we’ll begin our piece with an in-depth review of our favorite releases from this past week and then wrap things up with a roundup of everything else afterward. So without further ado, read on to learn more.

Our favorite releases this week


DCFrame – FREE

You can use the DCFrame jailbreak tweak to customize the background of the ever-so-popular Discord communication app for all of your chats.

Its a wonderful way to add some personality to your Discord app, especially when you’re already using your jailbreak to personalize other aspects of your handset.

You can learn more about DCFrame and how it works in our full review post.

Helix is a new jailbreak tweak that answers the requests of countless jailbreakers to port the iOS 16 Lock Screen experience to pwned iOS 14 devices.

Helix is fully configurable via the Lock Screen, allowing users to select their aesthetics, widgets, and more just as they can on a stock iOS 16 device, albeit with more options.

You can learn everything you need to know about Helix and how it works in our full review post.
