This tweak brings 3D Touch shortcuts to Control Center on iOS 10

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 5, 2017

You’ve got to love it when jailbreak developers find a way to turn inconspicuous things into handy shortcuts. They’ve been doing it for years, and now the tradition continues even today with the Yalu iOS 10.0-10.2 jailbreak.

A new free jailbreak tweak called Wormhole, developed by candoizo, is the latest to join the bloodline of jailbreak tweaks, as it lets you turn two of your Control Center toggle buttons into 3D Touch-sensitive shortcuts for respringing your device and visiting your favorite website.

Support for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus still coming to Yalu jailbreak

Joaquim Barbosa ∙ February 4, 2017

Since our most recent post on the subject of Luca Todesco's Yalu jailbreaks for iOS 10, we have been receiving queries from our readers about the status of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Although the two flagship devices were supported on the first version of the tool, which was for iOS 10(.1(.1)), they were omitted from the follow-up tool for iOS 10.0-10.2.

This has caused some to doubt whether these devices will ever see a stable build of the jailbreak, and whether they have been forgotten about. Fortunately, these worries are groundless; support for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is still very much planned.

These tweaks remove the page bounce effects from Control & Notification Center

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 4, 2017

If you’ve been on iOS 10 long enough, then you are probably familiar with the ‘bounce’ animation that occurs whenever you swipe between pages in either Control Center or Notification Center. They’re most pronounced when you hit a dead end and attempt to keep swiping.

Not everyone is a fan of the bounciness, so a developer named Callum Yarnold created two new jailbreak tweaks dubbed CCNoPageBounce and NCNoPageBounce to help negate these animations.

How to enter No Substrate Mode on the iOS 10 jailbreak

Joaquim Barbosa ∙ Updated April 22, 2019

Now that yalu102 has been out a while, along with its unstable predecessor for iOS 10.0-10.1.1, many of our readers will no doubt be running one of these two jailbreaks. As is always the case with a jailbreak on a new iOS version, many tweaks are not yet updated, and some can cause crashes or even bootloops.

It is consequently useful to be able to get into No Substrate Mode, to be able to escape tweak-related crashes and remove offending tweaks. The process has changed slightly since the days of the untethered jailbreak due to the fact that current semi-untethered tools do not boot into a jailbroken state. In this guide, we'll show you how No Substrate Mode is accessed on the Yalu jailbreaks.
