At iDB, we share the latest news in the iPhone jailbreak community as it happens because we are also avid jailbreakers just like many of you.

Weekly jailbreak news roundup.

We also understand the importance of weekly roundups to help fill the gaps that happen due to people’s busy lives, which is why we make posts like these.

In this week’s roundup, we’ll discuss the latest jailbreak tweak releases and iPhone hacking news stories shared with our readers spanning the week of Monday, February 5th to Sunday, February 11th.

CarTubePlus

An exciting new app for TrollStore users called CarTubePlus allows users to view YouTube videos on their CarPlay-enabled head unit in the car without a jailbreak.

Users can also take advantage of the app to interact with the YouTube community, such as leaving comments and many other things. It’s currently available in beta, but will soon be available for free for everyone.

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

OCD (Obsessive Color Disorder)

OCD (Obsessive Color Disorder) examples.

OCD is a new and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer b4db1r3 that automatically colorizes your Home Screen’s app icon notification badges and labels so that they match the dominant color of the icon.

You can change things such as corner radius and color scheme, but it’s worth noting that this tweak only works with rootless jailbreaks on iOS 15-17.

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

DynamicCowTS interface screenshots.

VisibleIsland and mineland are two new jailbreak tweaks that help solve a problem for users who port the Dynamic Island to unsupported notched iPhones via jailbreak tweaks or TrollStore hacks — specifically, they move the Dynamic Island below the notch so that it isn’t only partially visible.

You can learn more about these jailbreak tweaks, including where you can get them and why you might want to use them, in our full review post.
