CoolStar seeds second beta of Odyssey v1.3.1 with bootstrap fix for cicuta_verosa exploit

Odyssey jailbreak tool for iOS 13.0-13.7.

Just under a week ago, CoolStar seeded Odyssey v1.3.1 beta 1 to members of the Sileo / Odyssey Discord channel for public beta testing. The biggest change was initial support for the new cicuta_verosa kernel exploit by @ModernPwner.

It wasn’t long after the beta release that the Odyssey Team learned of an issue involving bootstrapping a fresh device when using the cicuta_verosa exploit. Consequently Odyssey v1.3.1 beta 2 is now available with a fix.

The Shy dims iPhone Home Screen icons after moments of inactivity

As a jailbreak hobbyist, I’m always in the market for quirky jailbreak tweaks that make my iPhone do interesting things. I not only enjoy being taking advantage of these small hacks and add-ons for myself, but I also enjoy showing others what they do and watching the expression of surprise that comes across their face before they eventually ask, “how’d you do that?”

One of such tweaks is a new and free release called The Shy by iOS developer haoict, which simply dims your Home Screen’s app icons after a user-determined amount of inactivity. In other words, when you go idle for a few seconds, you get a cool Home Screen effect to complement your inattentiveness.

Miss iOS 13’s wheel-based date picker? This jailbreak tweak ports it to iOS 14

If you ever set up alarms in your iPhone’s native Clock app or upcoming events in the Calendar app, then you’re probably used to having to enter a specific time and date for those types of configurations.

As many noticed, iOS & iPadOS 14 have replaced the traditional wheel-style date selector with an inline version that displays a combo box for the time and a full-blown calendar picker for the date. While some really like this new inline selector, others aren’t used to it and have found it to be more cumbersome.
