We're starting to see more iOS 11-oriented jailbreak tweak releases as time goes by. Many of those have are exclusive to the iPhone X, but some still work on Apple’s other handsets.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about every new jailbreak tweak released in Cydia throughout the past week. As usual, we’ll kick things off by showcasing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up by outlining the rest afterward.
The way iOS displays your current battery level has been approximately the same since the first iteration of the mobile operating system; albeit with a few minor changes present in some of the most significant updates over the years.
For anyone interested in a fresh take on iOS’ battery level indicator, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed BatteryBar by iOS developer DGh0st may grab some attention.
Update: iOS 11.2.6 is now unsigned. You can no longer use futurerestore to restore any device to any firmware below iOS 11.3. Do not attempt the restores mentioned in this article.
With the official release of iOS 11.3, the clock is ticking on iOS 11.2.6 signing. Normally this wouldn't mean much to jailbreakers, who would be staying on a lower jailbroken firmware. This time however, it's different. Many users on iOS 9 and 10 jailbreaks are waiting to see how the iOS 11 tools turn out before making the jump. So far, iOS 11.2-11.2.6 have maintained SEP and baseband compatibility with iOS 11.0-11.1.2 (the last jailbreakable firmwares), which allowed users to make the jump at any point, or wait it out a little longer.
While many iPhone X users have embraced the handset’s distinct notch, there are still tons of people who just can’t seem to get over it.
If you’re one of the latter and your iPhone X is jailbroken, then a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed noNotch by iOS developer Jake James might be worth checking out.
Control Center’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles don’t entirely disable their corresponding wireless radios on iOS 11, but instead limit their capabilities such that system processes like AirDrop and Instant Hotspot, among others, continue working.
If you wish that iOS 11’s Control Center-based Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles worked as you’d expect them to, then you might be interested in a new free jailbreak tweak called RealCC by iOS developer Jake James.
AVLock is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer gilshahar7 that attempts to make watching videos more tolerable on the iOS platform.
After installation, you’ll gain access to a new Rotation Lock toggle in the stock iOS 11 video player interface, precisely like the one shown in the screenshot example above.
One of the most significant changes to ship with iOS 11 was the redesigned modular Control Center interface. But despite everything Apple did to make Control Center more customizable, it still lacks color-based personalization.
A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed ColorMyCCModules by iOS developer iKilledAppl3 fills this void by providing users with a way to colorize Control Center’s various modules.
The Cydia store wasn’t bustling with new jailbreak tweaks this week like it was the last, but there were still a handful of noteworthy releases that earned a place in the spotlight at iDB.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the new jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia from March 26th to April 1st. As always, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorites first and then outline the rest afterward for your convenience.
Since the public release of the Electra jailbreak for iOS 11, we’ve seen a bevy of jailbreak tweaks explicitly designed for the iPhone X. Some of the most recent ones focus on the handset’s Home Bar – the bar at the bottom of the screen that you use to close apps, multitask, etc.
A new free release dubbed HomeBarSizer by iOS developer Kiran Patil is no different. As the name suggests, it will let you customize both the size and appearance of your iPhone X’s Home Bar so you can achieve the look and feel you desire.
Now that Electra has been publicly available for a few weeks, we’re beginning to see more iOS 11-oriented jailbreak tweaks in the Cydia Store. That aside, there’ve been plenty of jailbreak tweaks for iOS 10 and earlier added to the mix.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the past week. As always, we’ll start things off by talking about our favorites in detail and then we’ll outline the rest afterward.
The iPhone X lacks a Home Button, so Apple created the Home Bar to take its place. Swiping up on the Home Bar lets users unlock their device, return home from apps, and access the App Switcher, but the Home Bar itself isn’t very aesthetically-pleasing in the long run.
Given the circumstances, a new free jailbreak tweak called ByeHomeBottomBarX by iOS developer CydiaGeek has been released in Cydia this week. As the name suggests, this tweak efficiently hides the Home Bar from view.
The iPhone X is Apple’s latest and greatest flagship smartphone, and while I appreciate the gorgeous edge-to-edge 5.8-inch OLED display Apple put into it, iOS could unquestionably take better advantage of what the display has to offer.
As it would seem, iOS developer Frozen Penguin shared this opinion. Hence a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Saw was born.
