Important tidbits from this week

iCleaner adds iOS 16 support

The iCleaner and iCleaner Pro junk file removal tools for jailbroken handsets received a new beta build on Monday that officially marked iOS & iPadOS 16 as compatible.

This handy tool removes unwanted accumulations of large files that rob you of storage space.

You can find out more about the updated beta release and where you can get it from in our full news post.

Redesigned Phone app for iOS 12-16

Novus redesigns the iPhone's Phone app for the modern era.

The new Novus jailbreak tweak brings the archaic Phone app of yore into the modern times we live in with a redesigned, unified user experience.

This new interface puts everything you’ll need right in front of your face with modern gestures. It removes the ancient tab-based user interface we’ve been looking at since the original iPhone.

You can learn more about Novus and why it’s a steep improvement in our full review post.

Island – a better Dynamic Island for more devices

Subscribe to iDB on YouTube

The Dynamic Island has received lots of praise from iPhone 14 Pro users, but if you have an older device jailbroken on iOS or iPadOS 14, 15, or 16, then you may feel left out.

The new Island jailbreak tweak not only ports a Dynamic Island-like experience to those devices, but delivers more widgets and allows you to see more than just two at once.

You can find out more about the new Island jailbreak tweak in our full review post.

Best MacDirtyCow apps

The best MacDirtyCow bug-compatible apps for iOS 15.0-16.1.2.

There are a lot of different apps you can install and use with the MacDirtyCow bug present in iOS and iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2, and iDB has carefully curated a list of some of the best ones available right now.

TrollStore public service announcement

So many people have been nagging TrollStore developer @opa334 to add iOS 16 support to the perma-signing app, but this isn’t possible because the CoreTrust bug isn’t present in newer versions of iPhone and iPad firmware.

You can learn more about why this is the case in our full news post.

FingerLock 3.0 for iOS 14-16

FingerLock is a unique jailbreak tweak that replace the Home Button and/or Home Bar as your means of unlocking your locked device.

It works by adding a glyph to the Lock Screen that you can tap on.

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

Lollipop theme

The all-new Lollipop theme for SnowBoard is available for jailbroken iPhones and supports 180 different app icons, plus the developer is always accepting requests to support more app icons.

It provides a unique aesthetic upgrade to your Home Screen that makes your icons pop.

You can find out more about Lollipop in our full review post.

Deluminator goes free

Dark mode websites thanks to Deluminator.

The popular Deluminator jailbreak tweak that transforms overly-bright websites into Dark Mode-friendly websites has been made free to download.
