Jailbreak tweaks of the week: DragSpring, PhotoManager, Proximitus, Snapper 2, and more

We’re just one step short of a full-fledged A12(X) jailbreak by way of unc0ver, but all we can do at the time of this writing is remain patient until such an update finally surfaces. If you’re using an older handset, then you’re probably looking for new and exciting ways to trick out your jailbroken installation of iOS 11 or iOS 12.

In this roundup, we’ll summarize each of this week’s new jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, April 15th to Sunday, April 21st. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.

Proximitus will notify you when you leave a Bluetooth device behind

Prominent members of the modern jailbreak community are now responding to Saurik’s words of wisdom, beginning with unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd:

Saurik to jailbreak community on A12(X) Cydia Substrate ETAs: ‘Knock it off’

If you’ve been following the jailbreak community as closely as I have recently, then you’ve undoubtedly witnessed a lot of denigration between Cydia Substrate naysayers and Substitute naysayers. Some are fed up in waiting for Cydia Substrate to be updated with A12(X) support, prompting many to harass Saurik for a release date and motivating others to take a different approach to jailbreaking entirely.

In response to much of this mud-slinging and toxicity, Saurik took to Twitter Friday morning to bend the jailbreak community over his knee and give it a good spanking. It’s not very often that Saurik makes a public appearance on Twitter, but when he does, it’s almost always a home run:
