Jailbreak news of the week: Lars Fröder presents at Zer0con, TrollInstallerX released, & more…

The thing about jailbreaking iPhones is that once you start, you’re always looking for more ways to trick out your device. Fortunately, your friends at iDB are here to help you get your fix.

In this roundup piece, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweak releases and related news spanning the week of Monday, April 1st to Sunday, April 7th.

Important stuff from this week

Lars Fröder presents at Zer0con 2024

As planned, Dopamine jailbreak developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) shared a talk at Zer0con 2024 in Seoul, South Korea about jailbreaking iOS 16.

The event was planned two months in advance, and allowed high profile security researchers to talk discuss and share their findings.

You can find out more in our full news post.

TrollInstallerX released

TrollInstallerX is a project that aims to make installing TrollStore a simpler process by allowing direct installations via exploit instead of sacrificing one of your system apps, such as Tips.

TrollInstallerX was officially released this past week after more than two weeks’ worth of teasers, and this means prospective users can begin trying it out immediately.

You can learn more about TrollInstallerX in our full news post.

Additional updates to the tool were released shortly after:

TrollInstallerX v1.0.1 released

Removing the Serotonin “semi-jailbreak”

If you’ve decided to remove the Serotonin “semi-jailbreak” to make way for the Dopamine v2 full-fledged jailbreak or because you’ve simply realized that Serotonin isn’t right for you, then we’ve got you.

You can follow the steps outlined in our detailed step-by-step tutorial to remove Serotonin at any time, clearing your device of all and any hacks so that you can either install Dopamine v2 or use a non-hacked device.

PurePKG package manager released

Looking for an alternative package manager app to the now tried and true Sileo and Zebra options that come pre-installed on most modern jailbreaks today?

PurePKG is a new offering by iOS developer lrdsnow who made PureKFD that supports all iOS versions 14.0 and later, and also works with tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. This package manager app is intended for jailbroken and bootstrapped devices only.

You can learn more about PurePKG in our full news post.

Dynamic Stage gets iOS 16 support

Screenshot examples of the Dynamic Stage jailbreak tweak.

Dynamic Stage, one of my favorite jailbreak tweak releases in the past year, received an update this past week that incorporated iOS 16 support for devices jailbroken by way of palera1n and Dopamine v2.

With Dynamic Stage, you can unlock iPad-class split view multitasking on your iPhone, allowing you to use different interfaces over your existing app. It’s perfect for getting more done without having to switch between apps like the traditional App Switcher would have you do.

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

OutlookFullName

The OutlookFullName jailbreak tweak replaces the initials displayed in unknown contact photo slots in the Microsoft Outlook app with replaced text strings of your choice so that it’s easier to ascertain the sender or recipient.
