Users of the Chimera or Electra jailbreaks will be happy to hear that the Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager on Tuesday with bug fixes and performance improvements.
The Sileo Team announced the release of Sileo v1.3.0 via Twitter just this afternoon:
If you’re enjoying an iOS 11 or iOS 12 jailbreak by way of the Electra Team’s Chimera or Electra tools, then you might be excited to learn that the Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager Sunday morning, bringing the public release up to version 1.2.9.
The Sileo Team announced the update early this morning via Twitter, noting that it would make the user interface significantly faster when doing critical tasks such as refreshing sources or downloading packages:
It's been a crazy a week with all these jailbreak tool updates and what not, but if you've been keeping up with it all and you're interested in tweaking your pwned handset, then you're in the right place.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, July 29th to Sunday, August 4th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up with an outline of the rest afterward.
The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles that Apple tucks away inside of Control Center can be useful at times, but they lack the level of interactivity that I’d expect from 21st Century software. Apple’s iOS 13 update this Fall will change this by letting users interact with nearby Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices directly from Control Center, but those running iOS 12 or earlier aren’t so lucky.
Enter QuickCC, a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer ichitaso that brings this iOS 13-centric functionality to pwned iOS 11 and 12 devices for users who demand more from their software.
The keyboard is something that most iPhone and iPad users will interact with on a daily basis, and with that in mind, it makes sense that some users might want to make it theirs.
If you agree with the idea above, then you’ll likely come to appreciate a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called CuKey by iOS developer DevelopApple. This tweak lets you customize a variety of keyboard-centric attributes, such as its appearance and sound, among other things.
If you’re any bit familiar with the Google Nexus 7.0 Nougat app drawer, then it might’ve crossed your mind once or twice about what it might like to have a similar experience on the iOS platform.
If you’re keen about the idea thus far, then you’ll definitely want to try a refreshed jailbreak tweak dubbed Vinculum by iOS developer William Vabrinskas. As you’ll see in the screenshot examples above, this tweak brings app drawer-like functionality to your pwned iPhone or iPad.
While it’s not uncommon for the Sileo Team to release an updated Sileo package manager every now and again, the team deviated from their traditional release cycle on Friday by launching a ‘Sileo Beta’ that can be deployed alongside the stable Sileo installation.
The Sileo Team announced the news early this morning via Twitter, noting that Sileo v1.2.9 beta 1 would be available from the default Chimera/Electra repositories on their respective jailbreaks:
You can easily fine-tune your handset’s volume level with the Control Center-centric volume scrubber, but have you ever wished that you could have easier control over your handset’s audio balance from the same place?
If you answered yes to that question, then you’ll absolutely love a free jailbreak tweak dubbed CCAudioBalance by iOS developer shiftcmdk, because this tweak adds a full-featured audio balance adjustment tool to Control Center’s full-screen volume scrubber interface, as shown above.
If you’re anything like me, then you probably use certain things in the Settings app more than others. Unfortunately, iOS doesn’t make it any easier to get to those things, regardless of how often you use them.
Here to change that about iOS’ Settings app is a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called StickAround by iOS developer Squ1dd13. With this tweak, you can pin your favorite preference panes to the top of the Settings app, making it significantly easier to get to the things that matter to you the most.
If you’re interested in changing the default background of the Siri interface to something new, then you just might want to check out a newly-released and free-to-download jailbreak tweak dubbed CustomSiriBG by iOS developer TylerD3V.
In the screenshot example above, you’ll notice that the default Siri background has been changed to something more Pokémon-centric, and of course, you can always use something different if Pokémon isn’t your thing.
Apple is no longer signing iOS 12.3, 12.3.1, or 12.3.2 for its mobile device lineup as of Wednesday evening, a move that prevents users from restoring to any firmware version older than iOS 12.4, which was released to the general public just last Monday.
It’s not uncommon for Apple to stop signing older versions of iOS, especially a week or two after releasing a new update, but it’s particularly noteworthy that Apple stopped signing at least three iterations of iOS in one fell swoop this week, which doesn’t happen too often.
At the bottom of any stock iPhone or iPad’s Home screen are a set of page dots that help you discern what page you’re on at any given time. As useful as this might be, it hasn’t changed much over the years.
If you’re looking for a fresh take on iOS’ Home screen page dots, then you might come to appreciate a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called AwesomePageDots by iOS developer shiftcmdk, as it reinvigorates your Home screen’s page dots with a much more appealing animation.
