Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Axon, ImageCorrect, InstallProtect12, and more
The jailbreak tweak release schedule has slowed down a little bit since the WWDC 2019 Keynote, presumably because developers are absorbing all the new features to come and pondering about how these ideas can be used to improve existing versions of iOS.

In this roundup, we’ll discuss all of this past week’s jailbreak tweak releases in one convenient place. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases in detail and then we’ll outline the rest of them afterward.
Colorize your iOS apps’ activity indicators with Spoke
As you use iOS, you’ll become accustomed to seeing activity indicators in many of your apps. The activity indicator is denoted by a spinning wheel, such as what you might see when certain apps load or begin communicating with the internet.
iOS’ activity monitors are typically monotonous, serving no other purpose besides letting you know that an app is doing something; but that doesn’t mean they need to be boring. A newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Spoke by iOS developer Unicorn808 lets you colorize these activity monitors.

iPhone hobbyist claims to have ported iOS 13 beta 1 to the iPhone 6 [updated]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve likely heard about Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 for iPhone and iPod touch (iPad gets its own new operating system dubbed iPadOS), which implements native dark mode and a plethora of other jaw-dropping features that users have been requesting from Apple for quite some time. On the other hand, the oldest handsets it supports out of the box are the iPhone SE, 6s, and 6s Plus.
In a seemingly unbelievable turn of events, however, an Apple device tinkerer with the Twitter handle @NighttigerFTW has purportedly managed to get the first iOS 13 beta running on an iPhone 6 with minimal tweaking. The full details below:

BigBoss repository now uses SHA256, paving the way for Sileo support
In an unexpected turn of events this weekend, @0ptimo added official SHA256 support to the BigBoss repository, a move that looks to appease the Sileo Team as an increasing number of people use the Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak to take advantage of the full-fledged A12(X) support in the here and now.
Sileo Team lead developer CoolStar acknowledged the change just this evening via Twitter, noting that an upcoming update for the Sileo package manager will implement native support for the newly-upgraded BigBoss repository:

InstallProtect12 makes you authenticate yourself to install or uninstall jailbreak packages
InstallProtect12 is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak created by iOS developer Castyte, and we’re particularly excited to show it to you.
While most jailbreak tweaks are somewhat subjective depending on the user, this one seems like a no-brainer for most as it seriously augments the jailbroken handset experience on all fronts. More specifically, it necessitates biometric authentication to manage packages in three of the most popular package management apps, including Cydia, Sileo, and Zebra.
Dapple lets you colorize your iPhone’s Status Bar
One of the most exciting things you can do with a jailbroken handset to help it stand out from the crowd is customize its aesthetics. There are many ways you can do this, from applying themes to installing tweaks that change system colors and more.
One of the latest releases that can help in this department is a jailbreak tweak called Dapple by iOS developer dpkg_, which lets users colorize their iOS device’s Status Bar on a per-item basis.
