Jailbreak news of the week: Dopamine jailbreak updated, Misaka package manager for MacDirtyCow, & more…

There’s a lot that you can do with a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, but if you’re new to the hobby or aren’t sure where to begin, then you might need some help keeping up with all the fragmented sources of information that make their way into the general public every now and again.

Fortunately, your friends at iDB have your back. We make sure to bring everything together into a weekly roundup just like this one so that even the busiest of bees don’t miss a beat.

In this week’s roundup, we’ll delve into the latest jailbreak tweak releases and news spanning the week of Monday, July 10^th to Sunday, July 16^th.

Important stuff from this week

Dopamine jailbreak updated

The Dopamine jailbreak tool for A12-A15 devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1 was updated on Monday to version 1.1.2.

The latest update addresses a problem where many users were receiving jailbreak detection because of the new crash reporting feature, and also adds some other improvements to benefit end users.

You can learn all about the latest version of the Dopamine jailbreak tool in our full news post.

Misaka package manager for MacDirtyCow

The MacDirtyCow exploit for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2 devices is alive and well, and the Misaka package manager for jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices is living evidence of that.

This package manager works as a centralized hub where those with MacDirtyCow-susceptible devices can install add-ons that work with this brilliant exploit.

You can learn more about Misaka and how to install it on your device in our full tutorial post.

Plampy UI Control Center

You can make your Control Center look way better than it would normally with a MacDirtyCow add-on called Plampy UI Control Center.

Because it’s a MacDirtyCow add-on, you don’t need a jailbreak to use this. It will work on devices running iOS or iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2.

You can learn more about Plampy UI Control Center and where you can get it from in our full review post.

Medousa

If you like the way iPadOS handles multitasking and wish that the experience could be the same on your jailbroken iPhone, then we would highly recommend checking out a new jailbreak tweak release called medousa.

With medousa, your multitasking experience in iOS can reflect that of the multitasking experience in iPadOS. The experience gives you windowed multitasking and overlaying app, helps Inc to boost productivity as compared to a simple App Switcher.

You can learn more about medousa, including where you can get it from, in our full review post.

SleeperX (iOS 15)

SleeperX (iOS 15) is a jailbreak tweak that lets you enhance your iPhone’s native alarm system situ features that you normally wouldn’t have access to.

For example, you can change the snooze times, adjust for certain days when you don’t want your alarm to fire, and much more.

You can learn all about the useful power features for iPhone alarms in our full SleeperX review.

Nyx for Instagram

The new Nyx for Instagram jailbreak tweak provides power features for users of the Instagram app who demand more features than what Meta is willing to provide.

Whether you’re looking to boost your privacy, enable news feed downloads, or something else, chances are that the 40+ features offered by Nyx for Instagram have you covered.

CleanSuggest

CleanSuggest is a simple jailbreak tweak that hides the app icon labels from apps suggested by the Siri Suggestions jailbreak tweak.

It‘s perfect not only for improving overall Home Screen minimalism, but also for helping apps suggested by the CleanSuggest widget for standing out from other Home Screen app icons.

Negative Dock for MacDirtyCow

You can enjoy a really nice alternative Home Screen Dock background effect with the Negative Dock add-on for the MacDirtyCow exploit in iOS 15.0-16.1.2.
