Has the iPhone hacking community been on a role lately, or what? Not only have we witnessed the release of TrollStore 2, but we also saw the XinaA15 v2 jailbreak launch with support for arm64e devices running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.4.1.
Pair that with a seemingly endless flurry of software updates from package manager app maintainers, perma-signing utilities, jailbreak tools, and more, and it seems like developers from all corners of the Earth are busy making great software.
With everything happening all at once, it’s easy to miss important details. So your friends at iDB are here this week to recap everything that happening during the week of Monday, December 4th to Sunday, December 10th to ensure you don’t miss a beat.
Important stuff from this week
TrollStore 2 tweak injection achieved
A developer has successfully gotten ElleKit tweak injection to work on a device with TrollStore 2 installed on it and without a jailbreak.
The latest fest means that users will soon be able to inject tweaks into perma-signed apps so that they can modify app behavior.
You can learn more about the achievement in our full news post.
XinaA15 v2 jailbreak updates
The XinaA15 v2 jailbreak received a variety of updates this past week to improve stability, performance, and security, among other things.
You can learn more about the latest updates to this tool in our news posts below:
Rune
Rune is a beautiful new jailbreak tweak that took iOS developer iCraze months to create, and the final product was worth the wait.
It’s effectively an interface that provides shortcuts to various functions of your device and a way to launch your favorite apps from anywhere in iOS.
The interface is invoked from the bottom of the display, evoking classic App Switcher vibes.
You can learn more about Rune and how it works in our full review post.
PureKFD Updates
The PureKFD package manager app for the kfd exploit has been updated this week with improvements for end users.

Picasso v3 goes free forever
The Picasso kfd exploit-based toolbox app for arm64e devices (A12+) has been made free forever as of version 3.
According to the developers, this was an exciting moment for the app because it has officially been deemed stable and out of beta. It’s also one of the easiest ways to install TrollStore 2 on compatible handsets.

The new DynamicCowTS add-on for TrollStore can enable the Dynamic Island on notched iPhones running iOS 16.0-16.6.1 and 17.0 without a jailbreak.
Features of the Dynamic Island that work on these devices include the interactive widgets and animations that ordinarily only appear on the iPhone 14 Pro & Pro Max and newer.

Twemoji ported to iPhone
You can now use X’s (formerly Twitter’s) open-source Twemoji Emoji font on your jailbroken iPhone or iPad with the new Twemoji 15.0 EFM package by iOS developer PoomSmart.
This add-on works with the EmojiFontManager package and makes it easy to enable or disable at any time.

Call Enhancer 15
You can use the new Call Enhancer 15 jailbreak tweak to color-code the Recents tab of the Phone app on your iPhone running iOS 15.
