Lars Fröder (@opa334dev), the mastermind behind the Dopamine jailbreak and the TrollStore perma-signing utility that many of us have come to use on a regular basis, shared a teaser last night of what appears to be a “Lite” version of TrollStore.
The RootHide Procursus-based bootstrap for TrollStore received a new beta update early Thursday morning, officially bringing it up to version 1.2.4 beta.
It wasn’t too long ago that we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Oneko that added a pet cat to your iPhone’s screen that would follow every tap you made in virtually any interface.
iOS developer PoomSmart is out with another jailbreak tweak this week dubbed CamElasped+ that displays sub-seconds in the Camera app’s timer when the user begins recording video.
Most people regard the iPhone as one of the most accessible mobile devices out there, and this is because Apple puts a lot of time and effort into its user interface design so make it as easy to use as humanly possible. That said, it astounds me that jailbreak tweak developers always find ways to improve on it.
Just last week, we told you about a fork of the Serotonin semi-jailbreak called NathanLR by iOS developer Nathan (@dedbeddedbed) that improves compatibility with rootless-oriented jailbreak tweaks and uses a more reliable exploit — the same one used by TrollInstallerX.
Anyone who has a CarPlay-enabled vehicle knows just how convenient the additional iPhone connectivity features can be. CarPlay allows certain iPhone apps to run on the vehicle’s head unit, making those features more accessible and safer to use while driving. Unfortunately, some features are locked out for obvious safety reasons.
Aemulo, one of the most comprehensive jailbreak tweaks for tinkering with the Near Field Communications (NFC) capabilities of jailbroken iPhones, has apparently moved from the Chariz to the Havoc repository in a move that developer Amy While (@elihwyma) says is primarily motivated by the need for alternative payment options.
While the jailbreak community certainly isn’t bustling with a new jailbreak every few months like the glory days, there are still tons of developers maintaining jailbreaks and tweaks to further the dream.
It was only yesterday that Epic Games announced the availability of its massively popular Fortnite mobile game for the iPhone and iPad in the European Union via both the AltStore PAL and Epic Games Store alternative marketplaces.
Apple released iOS & iPadOS 17.6.1 just last week with important bug fixes and security improvements for iPhones and iPads alike. Unfortunately, Apple has also once again blockaded firmware downgrades by choosing to stop signing the previous firmware – iOS & iPadOS 17.6.
Sideloading apps has become a popular pastime for iPhone & iPad owners because it allows them to install apps that are otherwise restricted from being distributed on the App Store. Unfortunately, installing apps in this manner can be a double-edged sword because you’re limited to sideloading a certain number of apps with a free Apple developer account.
