Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
Your iPhone comes with a feature known as Do Not Disturb that can help mitigate the influx of notifications when using your device or sleeping, but have you ever wished you could minimize interruptions while using specific apps?
If so, then we advise checking out a powerful new jailbreak tweak called QuietApps by iOS developer smokin1337. With it, you can configure a plethora of convenience options on a per-app basis.
Given everything that’s been happening lately with the unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 3, it can be easy for some to forget about Electra and some of the noteworthy developments that were in the works for it.
One that struck us in particular was Sileo, a full-blown package installer that was supposed to replace Cydia on jailbroken iOS 11 devices. Five months ago, the Electra Team teased that Sileo would be “coming soon.” Fast-forward to today, and it’s still not available; so… where is it?
It was only a few days ago that Pwn20wnd pushed the first unc0ver v2.0.0 pre-release for public testing, and the hacker has already issued three separate revisions with a bevy of new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
The latest of said updates was issued Sunday morning. Citing a Tweet shared by Pwn20wnd moments later, it fixes a rather annoying bug known to impact the trust cache injection:
Another week, another roundup. This one encompasses all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia from Monday, November 26th to Sunday, December 2nd.
As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases and then outline the rest afterward.
Just a few days ago, iOS hacker Pwn20wnd launched a pre-release version of unc0ver v2.0.0 to the public with preliminary support for Cydia Substrate, several useful new features, and a blanket of bug fixes and performance improvements. The next day, he pushed a revamped version of the pre-release to the public with more bug fixes; but it now seems he wasn’t finished yet.
On Saturday, Pwn20wnd announced via Twitter that he had dropped yet another new version of the unc0ver v2.0.0 pre-release with even more bug fixes:
Just yesterday, iOS hacker Pwn20wnd dropped a pre-release version of unc0ver v2.0.0 with preliminary support for Cydia Substrate, a bevy of new features, and a long list of bug fixes and improvements. But he also noted that he would update the pre-release again if bugs were reported.
Pwn20wnd made good on his promise Friday afternoon after he shared an updated version of the unc0ver v2.0.0 pre-release via his Twitter account. As suspected, the new pre-release fixes bugs that were reported in the initial pre-release during the last 24 hours:
As your iPhone accumulates missed notifications, the icons on your Home screen become littered with little red dots indicating the number of missed notifications you have. Apple calls these red dots notification badges.
There’s no way to customize how notification badges look on a stock device, but if you’re jailbroken, then you can take advantage of a new jailbreak tweak called BadgeColors by iOS developer Cole Cabral.
It’s been a little while since we’ve seen any updates for the unc0ver jailbreak tool; the latest update to be released was version 1.1.4, more than three weeks ago. But despite what appeared to be a sudden halt in rapid update releases, it appears that iOS hacker Pwn20wnd has indeed been hard at work on another update for the iOS 11-centric jailbreak tool.
The public beta of unc0ver v2.0.0 has announced by Pwn20wnd via his Twitter account on Thursday, signaling what some might consider to be a major update for the jailbreak and many of its internal mechanisms:
If you’re a frequent Instagram user, then you’ve probably gotten accustomed to the 60-second upload limit that prevents you from sharing longer videos to the platform from your mobile device. Fortunately, jailbreakers can now circumvent this silly restriction with a new free jailbreak tweak called IG Video by iOS developer pxcex.
After you install IG Video, you’ll be able to upload videos longer than 60 seconds to your Instagram account, which means the prompt you see in the screenshot example above no longer has any bearing over what you can upload to Instagram.
Apple stopped signing iOS 12.0.1 on Tuesday, a move that prevents all iPhone and iPad users from downgrading their firmware via iTunes to any version lower than iOS 12.1.
It’s been almost one full month since Apple publicly released iOS 12.1, signaling one of the Cupertino-based company’s longest firmware signing windows in recent memory; most windows only last for about two weeks.
As we conclude the Thanksgiving holiday this weekend, we just wanted to mention how thankful we are to have a jailbreak and to have such wonderful readers like you here at iDB.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia from Monday, November 19th to Sunday, November 25th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases and then outline the rest afterward.
At first glance, it might seem like your iPhone has just one volume control that you can change with the volume buttons at the side of the handset, but there are actually nine different volume controls present on your handset.
It can be challenging to discern which volume control you’re adjusting when you press your device’s volume buttons, and so iOS developer midkin just launched a new jailbreak tweak called SmartVolumeMixer to make life a bit easier in this department.
