With the Dopamine jailbreak now available for A12-A15 devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1, many people who’ve been waiting on an older firmware for a jailbreak to release have finally gotten what they’ve waited for.
In the meantime, a lot has been happening in the jailbreak community, and we’re here to make sure you don’t miss anything that may pertain to you as an avid jailbreaker.
This roundup will encompass all the latest jailbreak tweak releases and news content spanning the week of Monday, May 8th to Sunday, May 14th. So without further ado, let’s get started!
Important stuff from this week
Dopamine updates
The Dopamine rootless jailbreak for arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 received more updates this week to address bugs and make the user experience as stable as possible. You can learn more about each of those updates below:
Havoc repo theme icon count
The Havoc repository announced this week a subtle change for themes hosted there that will make it easier for users to ascertain whether certain paid themes are worth the price.
The change includes a new icon counter that displays front and center so that users will know if the theme supports enough of their app icons before purchasing.
You can learn more about this change in our full news post.
PinAnim gets rootless support
The popular PinAnim jailbreak tweak for animating the Lock Screen’s passcode entry interface dots to bounce every time you enter a character has been updated to support rootless jailbreaks including Dopamine and palera1n.
You can find out more about this in our full news post.
Ares theme bundle
The creator of the Ares themes has released a bundle on the Havoc repository that includes five different variants of this beautiful app icon set.
With 309 icons per theme variant, there are tons of icons for users to enjoy. The theme supports both jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices by way of SnowBoard and Shortcuts respectively.

BigSurCenter gets rootless support

OTADisabler gets rootless support
Ichitaso has updated the OTADisabler jailbreak tweak to support rootless jailbreaks such as the Dopamine tool for A12-A15 devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 and the palera1n-c tool for A9-A11 devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.x.
This utility effectively blocks software updates from appearing in the Settings app after you’ve jailbroken. It prevents updates from displaying notification badges on the Settings app and displays your current version as the latest available to prevent automatic or accidental updates that would result in the loss of your jailbreak.
