Once again, we're experiencing a cooldown period following last week's Apple event, but the jailbreak community is still pulling through with interest-piquing new jailbreak tweak releases intended to make your iOS experience even better.
In this roundup, we'll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the last week, starting with our favorites. We'll outline the rest of them afterward.
Hulu is a great app for watching your favorite movies and TV shows on demand, but like most services, it supports advertisements; even if you’re paying for the reduced-cost monthly bargain plan.
Enter a new free jailbreak tweak called Huu for Hulu by iOS developer WhiteSauce, which gives users more power over their advertisements from the Hulu app. Huu for Hulu doesn’t skip ads entirely, but it does let users scrub past them when needed.
iOS 11 introduced support for modern HEIF and HEVC codecs developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (not Apple's proprietary formats) that keep high-resolution photos and videos taken with iPhone and iPad from eating up all your available storage. This post tells you more about it.

This week's edition of our Apps of the Week roundup features a programmable robot, a fun but powerful music creation app, and an interesting new 1-on-1 chat experience. And as always, we've picked out two great games for you to check out.
PixelWanting to learn more about programming or robotics? Or looking for a fun and educational app for kids? Meet Pixel—your own personal interactive robot. Pixel starts off without any intelligence or emotion, so it's up to you to program some personality and life into the robot. Using a drag-and-drop, blocked-based programming language (Scratch), fun interactions can be programmed in. Pixel is available for free.
SamplebotLongtime readers know that I'm a sucker for a good music creation app. I'm not very good with the creation part, so I'm always looking for new ways to make the process easier. Samplebot kind of fits that description. It's essentially a finger-drummable looping sequencer, which in layman terms means it can record and playback sounds. Features include the ability to record and import samples, loop, sequencer, built-in drum patterns, MIDI control, trim and balance your samples, and of course the ability to quickly share your creations with the world. Samplebot is available for $2.99.
Burst Your BubbleHere's an interesting (and timely) app. Burst Your Bubble is a chat app that aims to match you with someone who has an opposing opinion. Users are given a controversial topic—let's say hotdogs or hamburgers—and asked to choose a stance. If the user picks hot dog, they will be matched up with someone who chose hamburgers, and the pair can then engage in a 1-on-1 discussion. You can vote on trending topics or even submit ideas of your own. The team says you can terminate chats to avoid harassment, but they hope their app will facilitate more civilized debates than not. Burst Your Bubble is available for free.
NBA 2K18Following up the release of NBA 2K18 on the major consoles, 2K this week release the hit game on mobile. It's obviously not going to be as broad as its bigger siblings, but the early reviews look promising—4 stars in the App Store. Features include deeper MyCAREER mode, new "Association" mode, new soundtrack and more. Whether you're a basketball fan, or just a casual gamer looking for a new sports title, this one is worth checking out. NBA 2K18 is available for $8 (with some IAPs).
Pocket Mine 3If you're looking for something a little different to play this weekend, check out Pocket Mine 3. It's the sequel to the sequel of the hit game. You tap blocks to dig and explore dozens of gorgeous locations in an exciting world. Trigger stunning chain reactions, craft and equip powerful gear, unlock treasure chests, collect and trade rare artifacts, and more. Pocket Mine 3 is available for free (with some IAPs).

When Apple informed GPU component supplier Imagination Technology back in April that they would no longer be requiring their services, their shares dropped by nearly 50% by the following day. It has been a bit of a bitter separation, with Imagination saying that Apple would be unable to create their own GPU without violating their patents.
Dock+ for iPhone is a spiffy new jailbreak tweak by iOS developer XCXiao that introduces a plethora of hand multitasking features to the Dock on your iPhone.
Not only does the tweak let you summon your dock from virtually anywhere on your unlocked device with an Activator action, but it even lets you launch several apps as resizable windows side-by-side on your screen.
