Important stuff from this week

palera1n to get iOS 16 support

The palera1n jailbreak Team announced on Thanksgiving Thursday that iOS & iPadOS 16 support would likely be added to the developer-centric jailbreak for A9-A11 devices soon.

The news came after lead developer @itsnebulalol shared working tweak injection on an iOS 16 device.

You can learn more about what’s happening and what was said in our full news post.

Tweak injection on iOS 16.1.1

@itsnebulalol shares a terminal window showing a jailbroken iPhone 8 running iOS 16.1.1 with tweak injection.

@itsnebulalol, a developer behind the palera1n jailbreak for A9-A11 devices running iOS or iPadOS 15.x, showed off working tweak injection and kernel read and write on an iPhone 8 running iOS 16.1.1 last weekend.

While the work utilizes the venerable bootrom hardware-based checkm8 exploit for certain older handsets only, it’s still a step in the right direction given how hard jailbreaking is becoming with Apple’s latest security mitigations.

Legizmo Kincaid released

Legizmo Kincaid, the package that lets iOS 15 users pair unsupported watchOS 9-running Apple Watches with their iPhones, is now available in the Chariz repository for jailbroken devices, and is the first package to allow the pairing of Apple Watch Ultra with iOS 15 devices.

Legizmo Kincaid supports both rootless and non-rootless jailbreaks, and can even be installed on jailed devices via TrollStore for those who don’t have a jailbreak on iOS 15 yet.

iOS 16’s battery indicator on jailbroken phones

If you’re wanting to have iOS 16’s upgraded Status Bar-based battery level indicator on your jailbroken iOS 14 or 15 device, then the new Ampere jailbreak tweak could be what you’re looking for.

This tweak adds the numeric battery percentage to the icon itself, making it easier to discern how drained your battery actually is. Why update when you can have the feature right now?

You can learn more about Ampere in our full review post.

TrollStore updated with bug fixes

The TrollStore perma-signing utility was updated a handful of times this past week to versions 1.4.1, 1.4.2, and 1.4.3 with a series of bug fixes to fix issues presented in the new v1.4 update that introduced a new FuguInstall method for apps.

Later on, version 1.4.4 was released to revert the FuguInstall method because it proved too buggy to be used indefinitely. Now the original installation method is used again instead.

We go into detail about what’s new in these updates in separate posts, so you would do good to find out about them there.

AirTroller automatic AirDrop spammer

AirTroller AirDrop spamming utility for iOS.

For pea king and educational purposes only, the new AirTroller app for TrollStore and jailbroken handsets allows users to automatically spam compatible devices with AirDrop pop-ups.

While it can be fun to share a laugh over something like this, it’s important you don’t over-do it or intend malicious activity for the sake of keeping your friends.

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