Cydia news and information: read the latest development about Cydia, including jailbreak tweaks.
A few years back, a controversial jailbreak tweak was released that allowed you to use the current time as your iPhone’s unlocking passcode. Intriguingly, that idea appears to be making a comeback following the release of Electra1131.
Enter TimeToUnlock, a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Jake James that revives this relatively classic passcode concept on jailbroken iOS 11 devices.
If you’ve been paying attention to the jailbreak scene recently, then you may have noticed Electra Team member CoolStar recommending that Electra1131 users install the tvOS beta profile on their jailbroken iOS device(s) to prevent iOS from nagging you to install software updates.
Assuming you heeded this advice, you should now have a purple Feedback app on your Home screen for reporting bugs and software issues to Apple. But if you’d rather not have this app, then you can use a new free jailbreak tweak called No Feedback by iOS developer RIshanan to get rid of it.
iOS has one of the best music listening experiences you can get on a mobile platform, but one of the biggest pet peeves I have with it is how the operating system continues to play my song even after I mute my handset's volume.
Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak called AutoPause11 by iOS developer Pa1n fixes this problem on Apple’s latest iOS versions, and it’s available as a free download from Cydia as of this writing.
There’s been a hiatus in jailbreak tweak development during the spans of time that the community patiently awaited an iOS 11.2-11.3.1 jailbreak tool, but that wait is finally over after the Electra Team delivered Electra1131 to the public on Friday.
Despite how slow of a week it’s been, we’re dedicated to showing you everything new in Cydia since our previous weekly jailbreak tweak roundup. So without further ado…
It hasn’t even been 24 hours since the Electra Team released their updated jailbreak tool for iOS 11.2-11.3.1, and more than 34,000 people have already pwned their devices with Electra1131 as of this writing.
These statistics appear in a live counter that is displayed at the very bottom of the official Electra website.
The Electra Team delivered on their promise to release an iOS 11.2-11.3.1 jailbreak, and you can now download Electra1131 from the team’s official website to pwn your device.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to jailbreak iOS 11.2-11.4.1 using Electra. When you’re ready to move forward with the jailbreak process, simply follow these steps:
Electra Team member Pwn20wnd announced via Twitter on Friday that the team’s iOS 11.2-11.3.1 jailbreak tool would be coming “really soon,” and soon after, the official Electra web page received a notable revamp with download links.
As we can see, there are two versions of the Electra1131 jailbreak tool: 1) a developer version that uses a multipath tcp exploit and requires a developer account to be used, and 2) a regular version that uses a vcf exploit and doesn’t require a developer account.
While the Electra Team works hard to produce a working jailbreak tool for iOS 11.3.1 amid unexpected delays, team member CoolStar took to Twitter on Monday to announce a rather attention-grabbing update.
As it would seem, Electra 11.3.1 will incorporate a feature called “Project Repo Unclutter” that automatically filters incompatible jailbreak tweaks from appearing in Cydia’s default repositories (BigBoss, ModMyi, and ZodTTD).
Apple designed the Home screen’s icon labels to be legible against most wallpapers out of the box, but some exceptions exist, especially when using third-party alternatives to the stock offerings. In other situations, users simply want something more expressive than just plain-Jane black or white.
Whatever the case may be, a new free jailbreak tweak called TintIconLabels by iOS developer CydiaGeek is here to help. Just as the name implies, TintIconLabels lets you adjust the appearance of your application icon labels.
Although the jailbreak community is still eagerly awaiting a public jailbreak for iOS 11.3.1 amid Ian Beer's latest exploit releases, there have been some rather interesting jailbreak tweak releases that may hold you over in the meantime.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia this week. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorites and then outline the rest of them afterward.
One of the major improvements that shipped with iOS 11 was the operating system’s redesigned modular Control Center interface. But as nice as it is, it still leaves a bit to be desired.
Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak called BetterCCXI by iOS developer ATWiiks lets you resolve some of the shortcomings that are present in iOS 11’s Control Center interface.
iOS 11 introduced a polarizing makeover for notifications on the Lock screen, Notification Center, and throughout the rest of the operating system. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is onboard with the redesign.
Fortunately, you now have the option of rolling back the look and feel of your iPhone or iPad’s incoming notifications with a new free jailbreak tweak called Nine by iOS developer Jake Kaslewicz.
