Puck brings an ultra low power mode to jailbroken devices

Low Power Mode.

Some people are more battery conscious than others, but some folks truly don’t mind letting their battery level get so low that it lurks in the danger zone — a state of inevitable automatic shutdown.

If you align with the latter camp and you’re using a jailbroken device, then this may pose problems for tweak reliability and usability because modern jailbreaks tend to be semi-tethered or semi-untethered. With that in mind, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Puck by iOS developer Litten may be a handy addition to handsets that see deeper battery drain than others on a regular basis.

Colorize 3D Touch and Haptic Touch menus on the Home Screen with Koi

Anthony Bouchard ∙ September 30, 2020

Having the ability to customize iOS or iPadOS’ native aesthetics is one of the top reasons to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad. That said, if you have a pwned handset at your disposal and you enjoy making it stand out from the crowd, then we think you may come to love a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Koi by iOS developers Litten and woodfairy.

Koi is an incredibly simple tweak that offers its users an aesthetically pleasing color upgrade for the Home Screen’s 3D Touch or Haptic Touch menus, but unlike other tweaks released in the past, Koi colorize the background blur rather than the menu interface itself.

CClock adds a date and time module to Control Center on pwned iPhones

Anthony Bouchard ∙ September 30, 2020

The Status Bar plays host to a digital clock almost all of the time, except of course when you launch Control Center. Once you do, the clock disappears from the Status Bar and is replaced by the cellular and Wi-Fi connection indicators and your carrier’s name instead.

Few people would refer to this as a problem, but it’s an annoyance for some who wish that the time would merely remain in the Status Bar even after Control Center is launched. Fortunately, a new and free jailbreak tweak called CClock by iOS developer Obumbravit offers a useful workaround.

Legizmo lets iOS 13 jailbreakers install watchOS 7 on their Apple Watch

Anthony Bouchard ∙ September 29, 2020

Jailbreakers are often the few prideful few who refuse to update their iPhone’s firmware for the sake of enjoying the plethora of benefits that a pwned device brings to the table. Unfortunately for jailbreakers who use Apple Watches, this means keeping their favorite wearable on a lower firmware too; but that may not be the case anymore.

Enter Legizmo, a new development that was created to allow jailbreakers to update their Apple Watch firmware without upgrading the firmware of their jailbroken iPhone. For example, someone with a jailbroken iOS 13 iPhone should now be able to install and use watchOS 7 without a hitch, something that Apple normally blocks via the Watch app until the iPhone gets updated first.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated November 12, 2020

The latest available jailbreaks at the time of this writing are Odyssey and unc0ver, each of which support up to and including iOS and iPadOS 13.5 on all devices. With that in mind, one Tweet in particular shared this Tuesday evening by the Twitter account @FreeTheSandbox appears to be turning quite a few heads in the jailbreak community.
