Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Akara, PerfectCalc, & more…

After what felt like an unending lull in the jailbreak community, things started getting kicking back up again in the past couple of weeks after a whole lot of hubbub about upcoming untether releases and reassurances that iOS & iPadOS 15 could see jailbreaks despite Apple’s best efforts to make jailbreaking harder to achieve.

CAHighFPS can force higher frame rates in some iPhone games that cap at 30fps

When you play games on your fully-loaded gaming PC, you expect your graphics card to crank out the highest graphics at the highest frame rates for the best aesthetics. This also means having a gaming display panel that supports those high frame rates.

When it comes to smartphones, users are less picky. But the Apple’s ProMotion displays promise up to 120 frames per second under certain circumstances. So is it too much to ask to take advantage of higher frame rates when available?

While there’s certainly no shortage of things that you can do with a jailbroken iPhone or iPad these days, perhaps one of my favorite things to customize is Control Center because I use it so frequently throughout the day.

EntitlementFix: Another jailbreak tweak that patches at least 3 known 0-day exploits

It was only about a week after Apple released iOS & iPadOS 14.8 with patches for the zero-click exploits that were actively weaponized in the wild and by the Pegasus spyware that iOS developer Mario Cheung released a jailbreak tweak called FORCEDEXIT to address the issue on pwned handsets running affected firmware versions.
