Jailbreak tweaks of the week: QuickCenter, & more…
It was a busy week for Apple; after releasing updates for all of its platforms and even unveiling the new iPhone SE and 9.7-inch iPad Pro, the company now has numerous new features in its operating systems and even more devices to choose from.
For the jailbreak community, the week has been pretty still, but nevertheless, the week did come with some Cydia gems that we're going to cover in this roundup. As usual, we'll start first with our favorites, and then go down the list with the rest of the jailbreak tweak releases that came out this week.
MacID update adds multi-Apple Watch support, improved battery life, pairing reliability, & more
The popular MacID app for iOS and OS X has received an update on Friday that adds support for new features in the newly-released watchOS 2.2 and iOS 9.3 firmware.
MacID has been made popular for its ability to unlock Mac computers with Touch ID or from an interactive notification on the wrist of the app's user by way of their Apple Watch, rather than having to type a pasword to unlock the Mac from a sleep.
Version 1.3.3 of MacID is now available in the App Store for iOS devices and Apple Watches, and version 1.3.3 of MacID for the Mac is available from the developer's website.

CKCounter displays the number of messages in your texting conversations
Chances are a lot of you use your Messages app on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to keep in touch with others via iMessage or SMS.
If curiosity has ever struck you as to how many messages have been sent back and forth in each conversation you have sitting in your message list, then you might find interest in a new free jailbreak tweak called CKCounter.
This tweak inverts the respring and reboot screen colors on your iPhone
Typically, on any black-colored iOS device, the respring or reboot screen is going to be black with a white Apple logo; and conversely, any white-colored iOS device will have a white respring or reboot screen with a black Apple logo.
Although some people may like the small variance Apple has given their devices, others may like to have the option to switch it up for themselves.
For those people, a new jailbreak tweak called InvertRespring will invert the respring and reboot screen's background and Apple logo colors to their opposites, and is now available for free in Cydia.
QuickCenter brings 3D Touch features to Control Center
Control Center is one of the more useful parts of iOS where you can easily toggle on or off some of your most important features, and where you can access shortcuts to your device's most useful utilitarian apps.
Unfortunately, Apple wasn't thinking three-dimensionally when they launched the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, and as a result, Control Center doesn't take advantage of the 3D Touch display. That's where a new jailbreak tweak release called QuickCenter, which can be had from Cydia for $0.99, comes to the rescue.
