Cydia news and information: read the latest development about Cydia, including jailbreak tweaks.
With each meaningful iteration of iOS, Apple slightly tweaks the aesthetic of the iPhone’s Lock screen, but these changes aren’t significant enough to warrant much praise. That said, if you’re looking for something extraordinary, then you might have more luck with a jailbroken handset.
Enter Jellyfish, a jailbreak tweak by iOS developers Justin Proulx and Ayden Panhuyzen that aims to modernize the look and feel of your handset’s Lock screen interface.
Many forget that the Cydia app itself can be tweaked by way of Saurik’s Cydia Substrate framework, but not iOS developer aJboCydia; he has just released a new free jailbreak tweak called Store Features that lets users customize the Cydia app.
Right out of the box, Store Features empowers users with each of the following features:
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd revised the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release on Monday to beta 34 to reinstate the changes that were previously pulled from beta 33 for further testing and to implement more bug fixes and improvements.
Pwn20wnd announced the revised unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release just this morning via Twitter:
Citing the changelog on the jailbreak tool’s GitHub repository, unc0ver v3.0.0 beta 33 encompasses the following changes:
02/25/2019 - v3.0.0~b34 was released for public testing with the following changes:
- Fix the root cause of the "Reload System Daemons" failures on iOS 12
- Add an apt lists cache file to ease load on repositories
As it would seem, today’s minor revision fixes a known error on jailbroken iOS 12 handsets and incorporates a cache file that should help reduce the strain on the repository servers. Consequently, repositories should load more quickly and with fewer errors after jailbreaking.
It should be noted that the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release is still a beta, and while it might be tempting to hop onboard right now, we’d strongly advise waiting for the official public release to prevent any possible bugs from manifesting and because not all devices are supported yet (this includes A7-A8 and A12 devices).
Those already jailbroken on iOS 12 with the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release are being advised to download and run this update as soon as possible to take full advantage of the new features and improvements.
The latest public release of the unc0ver jailbreak tool is v2.2.6 with support for iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 4 – the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release is the only iteration that supports iOS 11.4-11.4.1. Both versions of the unc0ver jailbreak tool can be had from Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository.
If you’re not already on a jailbreakable version of iOS 12, then be advised that iOS 12.1.1 beta 3 is still being signed, which means you can still downgrade to it via iTunes. You can use IPSW.me to check the signing status of any firmware version before attempting a downgrade via iTunes.
Are you using the latest version of unc0ver, or are you waiting until the official public release? Let us know in the comments section below.
The popularity of dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks has only continued to skyrocket over the past several years, and now that unc0ver can jailbreak iOS 12, many avid jailbreakers are looking for ways to implement the perfect dark mode experience on iOS 12.
If you fit the description above, then you’ve come to the right place because iOS developer LaughingQuoll has just released the latest iteration of his popular Noctis jailbreak tweak. The new iOS 12-compatible build has been fittingly-named Noctis12.
iOS is a well-polished mobile operating system, but one thing Apple continues to ignore time and time again is that atrocious native volume HUD. There’s no shortage of jailbreak tweaks that aim to improve this experience on the iPhone and iPad, but perhaps one of our favorites to date is a new release called BelleVolume by Luke Muris and Geometric Software.
BelleVolume relocates the volume indicator to the middle of the Status Bar, which prevents it from obstructing your view in various everyday scenarios. On notched devices such as the iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max, the volume indicator materializes just below the notch; other devices display the volume indicator where the time would normally appear.
Freshly-jailbroken on iOS 12 and looking for a way to spice up your handset’s look and feel? If so, then you might take a liking to a brand-new free and open-source jailbreak tweak called Notifica by iOS developer Nepeta.
Notifica lets imaginative minds run wild with a plethora of aesthetic-centric customization options for your iPhone or iPad’s incoming notifications, banners, and widgets. For starters, Notifica empowers you to do virtually any of the following:
It was just recently shared that Pwn20wnd was working on 4K device support (A7-A8) for the unc0ver iOS 12.0-12.1.2 jailbreak, but that hasn’t stopped the hacker from performing routine maintenance to ensure the long-term stability of your jailbreak.
Pwn20wnd has just pushed beta 33 of the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with a bevy of bug fixes and improvements concerning the tool’s newfangled iOS 12 support. The hacker announced the update via Twitter Sunday morning:
There’s been a lot of hype in the jailbreak community these past several weeks as we inch ever so close to a full-fledged iOS 12 jailbreak, but those already pwned on iOS 11 might be wondering what kind of jailbreak tweaks they should install.
This roundup will go over all the jailbreak tweaks released this week in Cydia. It will encompass all the tweaks released from Monday, February 18th to Sunday, February 24th in addition to some others. As always, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites first and then outline the rest afterward.
Those familiar with jailbreaking have undoubtedly heard about Sileo, a third-party package manager endorsed by the Electra Team that aims to compete with Cydia for market share; but what if we told you that you didn’t need to have a jailbroken handset to give Sileo a try?
Indeed, in an unforeseen turn of events, the Sileo Team released a public .ipa file on Saturday that can be side-loaded onto non-jailbroken handsets via Cydia Impactor or installed directly with online services such as Ignition.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd revised the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release to beta 29 on Friday with official support for iOS 12.0-12.1.1 on A8X-A11 devices, but as you might come to expect, this momentous initial release is being closely trailed by a multitude of bug fix updates to warrant tool stability for the end user.
Two of those updates came as revisions to the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release on Saturday. Citing a couple of Tweets shared by Pwn20wnd, beta 30 and beta 31 each tie up some of the initial tool’s loose ends and incorporate an important “safety improvement:”
After much anticipation, hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd has dropped the 29th beta of the unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release with full support for iOS 12. Unlike the ‘partial’ iOS 12 support that unc0ver picked up just under two weeks ago, today’s news means that unc0ver now bundles an iOS 12-compatible version of Cydia and Cydia Substrate.
Important to note right off the bat is that this is a public beta and should be treated as such. The unc0ver v3.0.0 pre-release does not yet support every device that can run iOS 12, however, that’s expected to change soon as work on the jailbreak tool continues throughout the public beta.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd is continuing the hype for his upcoming iOS 12 jailbreak on Friday as he inches closer to dropping the first public beta.
Subtle hints made their way to Twitter this afternoon as Pwn20wnd changed his name once again from “Pwn20wnd is preparing unc0ver for iOS 12…” to “Pwn20wnd is preparing to drop unc0ver for iOS 12:”
