Another day, another jailbreak tool update. This time, the spotlight is shining on the Odyssey Team’s Taurine jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3.
The latest update, coined version 1.0.4, brings a series of bug fixes and improvements that existing Taurine jailbreak uses are sure to appreciate.
Anyone who uses an alarm to get up in the morning should be at least vaguely familiar with the snooze function, which allows you to procrastinate with respect to waking up for a short period of time before the alarm goes off again. The iPhone’s built-in alarm function also provides this feature, albeit not with as much customization as some would like.
Snooze++ is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer arya1106 that changes this for alarm-using jailbreakers. With it, users can optimize each of their individual alarms’ snooze durations directly from iOS’ native Clock app.
While Apple has experimented with bolder and lighter fonts for the Lock Screen’s date and time display over the years, one thing that certainly hasn’t changed would be the position of this element.
When navigating to Settings → Battery → Battery Health on an iPhone, users can determine just how used and abused that handset’s internal battery might be.
This feature has been used for a multitude of reasons ranging from discerning when a battery needs to be replaced to identifying whether a used iPhone is worth the asking price. This of course begs the obvious question… why hasn’t Apple enabled this feature on iPads and iPod touches yet?
Anyone who listens to a lot of music on their iPhone will be familiar with what iOS’ Now Playing widget looks like. Found on both the Lock Screen and in the Notification Center interface, iOS’ Now Playing widget has retained generally the same look and feel albeit with minor aesthetic changes over the years.
Now that there are three major iOS & iPadOS 14-supported jailbreaks available to the community, including checkra1n, Taurine, and unc0ver, we’re seeing more jailbreakers jump onboard than ever before.
With that in mind, lots of jailbreakers are wondering what tweaks they should install to augment their liberated device, and this roundup will help with that by providing a curated list of the recent jailbreak tweak releases spanning the week of Monday, April 5th to Sunday April 11th.
If you’re using a jailbreak that utilizes CoolStar’s libhooker tweak injection method, be it Chimera for iOS 12, Odyssey for iOS or iPadOS 13, Taurine for iOS or iPadOS 14, or Odysseyra1n for any firmware ranging from iOS 12 to iOS or iPadOS 14, then it would be advisable to launch the Sileo package manager and refresh your sources this morning.
Upon doing so, you should take notice of an updated iteration of libhooker, which appears to have been updated to version 1.6.0.
The iPhone’s Status Bar has always been home to a time indicator so that you can always glance there from any interface you might be using to see what time it is. But how many times have you found yourself wondering what the date is — just to find yourself going back to the Home Screen or Lock Screen to check?
I’ve long wondered why the iPhone’s Status Bar didn’t display the date in addition to the time, and interestingly enough, iPadOS now does this natively. This begs the question of why a similar feature isn’t yet available for the iPhone or iPod Touch, especially with the extra vertical real estate afforded by the device’s notch.
If you just jailbroke your iOS or iPadOS 13 or 14 device and you’re in the market for a way to make subtle adjustments to your mobile operating system without breaking the bank, then we’ve got a treat for you.
Uranium is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer FissionDev that introduces a myriad of miscellaneous options for tweaking the iOS and iPadOS user interface.
Keen-eyed jailbreakers who are currently taking advantage of the Odyssey Team’s Taurine tool on their iOS or iPadOS 14.0-14.3 device may have noticed a peculiar new package on the Odyssey repository called Jailbreak Updater.
Citing an announcement shared early this morning in the Sileo / Taurine / Odyssey Discord channel by Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar, said that this novel package would allow power users with a Terminal app on their iPhone or iPad to update to the latest version of the Taurine jailbreak while already in a jailbroken state.
Ever since the launch of the Taurine jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3, it has been followed by a steady stream of support updates with bug fixes and improvements.
Today is no different, with the Odyssey Team releasing yet another update in the form of Taurine version 1.0.3.
It’s no secret that the iPad’s Control Center user experience leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, we recently covered the release of a free jailbreak tweak called Yuna that makes better use of all the otherwise wasted and unused space.
When you open Control Center on the iPad, the entire display becomes blurred, yet the actual Control Center interface is contained to the right-most 1/3 if the display. Seems overkill, don’t you think?
