iOS developer Soongyu Kwon is out this Thursday with an updated version of Mugunghwa, a popular system customization app for TrollStore users whether they’re jailbroken or not.
TrollTools, one of the most popular system customization apps to perma-sign with the TrollStore utility, was updated to version 2.1 on Saturday by iOS developer sourcelocation with a slew of improvements that users will surely embrace with welcome arms.
Some people like iOS’ badge notification system, and some people hate it. Regardless of which of those camps you reside in, a newly released jailbreak tweak called Badger by iOS developer 0xilis promotes a wealth of customization that you’d be hard-pressed to find in any other single jailbreak tweak.
While many continue to wait for the emergence of an iOS & iPadOS 15 jailbreak, the good news is that TrollStore can offer temporary refuge by way of tweaked and modified apps. In fact, a new TrollStore-enabled app called Mugunghwa by iOS developer Soongyu Kwon makes it possible to change your app icon notification badge colors even without a jailbreak.
Sometimes when receiving a slew of iPhone or iPad notifications while you’re away, you might feel inclined to simply ignore them rather than marking them as read. That’s a bad habit that iOS developer wrp1002 hopes to break with the release of a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed GrowingBadges.
One thing that hasn’t changed much over the years is the look of the red notification badges that appear over the Home Screen’s app icons whenever they have missed notifications that require attention.
Do Not Disturb mode is an indispensable feature on iPhones and iPads that I’ve grown particularly fond of over the years. Although it isn’t new, I still use it just as much today as I did when it first came out.
There’s just one problem — it’s can be all too easy to forget that you turned Do Not Disturb mode on in the first place, which sometimes results in missed notifications that you otherwise didn’t intend to silence.
Jailbreakers may recall earlier this month when we showed you a new jailbreak tweak dubbed AnimeMyBadges by iOS developer Antony M that provided a rather interesting breathing animation for your Home Screen’s notification badges. It was simple, short, and sweet, but if you were looking for a different notification badge animation, then you would have found yourself out of luck.
That changed this week with the release of AnimeMyBadges Pro, a paid upgrade from the aforementioned free release that offers nearly a dozen different badge animation styles to choose from.
It’s typically an easy task to remove a notification badge from an app — merely open the app in question and acknowledge the notification. In some instances, however, the process isn’t quite as cut and dry. The Setting app, for example, likes to display a notification badge when there are pending software updates for your handset.
After receiving a notification from one of your apps, iOS and iPadOS put a badge on the Home Screen’s app icon to alert you to missed and/or pending notifications. The badge appears as a static red dot at the top-right of the icon, and while we’ve seen jailbreak tweaks-a-plenty that permit color customization of these badges, tweaks for animating said badges seem to be far less common.
Enter AnimeMyBadges, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Antony M that gives Your handset’s notification badges a unique breathing animation that causes them to wax and wane with what can only be described as the in-and-out rhythm of a breath.
I have always hated the way notification badges look on the iOS Home screen. Although the red dots are great at catching my attention, they do so in an incredibly hideous way, and I sometimes think that it takes away from the beauty of Apple’s platform.
If you agree that iOS’ notification badge system is due for a facelift and you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad at your disposal, then you just might want to try a new and free jailbreak tweak called BadgeBar by iOS developer JannikCrack.
Albeit true that Apple’s native badge notification system leaves a lot to be desired in terms of color customization, the jailbreak community has long offered solutions to this communal grievance. Unfortunately for our wallets, many of those solutions cost the end user money in some way, shape, or form.
Here to shake things up a bit is a newly released jailbreak tweak called Pastel by iOS developer ConorTheDev, which lacks a price tag of any kind. With that in mind, you can now customize the color of your jailbroken iPhone’s notification badges without paying a cent out of pocket.
