Juin brings the Spotify app’s Now Playing interface to the Lock Screen

Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming services on the iPhone besides Apple Music, and it’s easy to see why. Not only does Spotify offer a compelling music database to choose from, but it even pre-dated Apple Music to become one of the most successful music streaming services on the iOS platform and was one of the first music streaming apps to sport a dark app interface that went along nicely with iOS 13’s Dark Mode feature.

Another thing that stands out to a lot of Spotify app users is the Now Playing interface, which features a large central play and pause button and a beautiful full-screen album artwork display. Spotify’s Now Playing interface is unique to the Spotify Music app itself, but with the help of a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Juin by iOS developer Litten, you can now go ahead and enjoy it on the Lock Screen too.

Give your Camera app a Sci-Fi-inspired makeover with FuturistiCam

Jailbreakers who open their favorite package manager and refresh their sources this weekend will likely happen upon a peculiar and newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed FuturistiCam by iOS developer PlatYkor.

At first glance, FuturistiCam makes iOS’ native Camera app user interface look like something right out of a science fiction movie. It appears to bring custom aesthetics and sound effects to the Camera app so that it’s both fun to use for the end user and attention piquing to anyone who might be around you.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Lynx 2, MilkyWay 3, Sharecuts, & more…

It’s that time of the week again, and while things have definitely slowed down as we await a full-blown iOS & iPadOS 14 jailbreak with support for all compatible devices, that’s not to say that cool developments aren’t happening with each passing day.

In this roundup, we’ll showcase all the latest jailbreak tweak releases and news from Monday, December 14th to Sunday, December 21st. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorite releases first, and then wrap things up with a roundup of everything else at the end.

Social Composer lets jailbreakers update social media and share messages from anywhere in iOS

Social media has become such an integral part of peoples’ day to day lives that you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone without an app from this category on their smartphone or tablet. Be it Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, or something else not listed here, the simple fact is many make use of these online tools in an effort to keep in touch with one another when they’re otherwise out of touch.

How to set a generator with nonceEnabler on iOS 9 and 10

First off, this guide is only necessary for 64-bit devices which are currently jailbroken on old firmwares, such as iOS 9 and some versions of iOS 10. The jailbreaks for those firmwares did not always include a way to set a generator for use with futurerestore, and nonceEnabler provides that ability. Nearly all newer jailbreaks provide their own simpler ways of setting a generator, and they do not need to use nonceEnabler, nor this guide. If your device is not currently jailbroken on an old firmware such as the ones mentioned in this guide, and/or has its own method of setting a generator, refer instead to our main futurerestore guides.

Klean gives jailbreakers a more interesting date and time display

When you find yourself a bit curious as to what time it is, you might take a quick glance at your iPhone’s Lock Screen to take advantage of the massive time display iOS shows within the top half of the screen. It works, but we wouldn’t go out of our way to say it’s particularly beautiful.

If you’re interested in something a bit more eye-catching, and perhaps even more functional by way of the kind of information that gets displayed, then we’d advise checking out a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Klean by iOS developer Ali Maulana.

PhotosPro lets jailbreakers upgrade their Photos app with useful features

Photos App Icon iOS

The Photos app is the best way to peruse the library of photographs you’ve taken, images you’ve saved, and videos you’ve captured via your iPhone or iPad, but that doesn’t mean the app isn’t without its flaws. In fact, there are many ways Apple could make the app better.

iOS developer ahmedmakls realizes the aforementioned fact, and that’s one reason why he just released a new and free jailbreak tweak called PhotosPro. In a nutshell, the tweak offers an allotment of useful features for the native Photos app, allowing you to enjoy more of the app than Apple would typically allow you to.

Colouration lets jailbreakers add a custom splash of color to their device

If you’re fortunate enough to have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad at your disposal, then that means you have the ability to make your device look completely different from anyone else’s by way of jailbreak tweaks. Whether you prefer subtle aesthetic changes or substantial aesthetic changes, there’s a little bit of something for everyone.

Today we’ll be giving you first-hand look at the newly released Colouration jailbreak tweak by iOS developer kanns. The name practically gives the tweak away, as it’s quite literally a system-wide colorization tweak that allows you to tint user interfaces and change system colors to be whatever you might prefer over Apple’s native selections.

Quiet lets jailbreakers silence app notifications via the Home Screen

One of the things you can do with a 3D Touch or Haptic Touch-compatible iPhone or iPad is assert a light press or tap-and-hold on individual app icons from the Home Screen to reveal a hidden menu with app-centric options in it. This feature is useful not only because it provides faster access to the most popular features of the app in question, but it can also be a fun way to access them.

While most of these menus sport standard options such as sharing the app, removing the app, or editing the Home Screen, users may also find app-specific options when performing these gestures on apps in which the developer has devoted time or effort into implementing specialized options. Interestingly enough, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Quiet by iOS developer Greg0109 can add another handy feature to these menus: the ability to mute notifications for that specific app.

Lynx 2 is an all-in-one tweak that every jailbreaker needs

Lynx 2 banner.

It’s no secret that the jailbreak community enjoys all-in-one jailbreak tweaks that provide more bang for the buck, and while there’s certainly no shortage of such tweaks spanning the plethora of repositories available today, not all of them are created equally. Need proof of their popularity? Just ask any veteran jailbreaker if they've ever heard of Springtomize before and they'll probably say they've used it.

Get a floating music player on your pwned iPhone with MusicBox

Apple’s market-leading music player and streaming service bundled into a nice little package is one of the key reasons why someone might pick an iPhone over a competing smartphone, and while Apple has made accessing music controls much easier over the years with the introduction of Control Center, some find that the music player may still be more than a comfortable number of taps away.

That’s where a newly released jailbreak tweak called MusicBox by iOS developer Greg0109 comes into play. This tweak brings a floating music player to the iOS platform, allowing the user to interact with and control their Now Playing track from anywhere in the operating system without so much as needing to open a single interface to do so.
