Cydia news and information: read the latest development about Cydia, including jailbreak tweaks.
Raise to Wake is easily one of my favorite features that comes stock on some of Apple’s latest handsets, so it’s a shame that the iPhone 6 and earlier don’t support it.
Fortunately, if you have a jailbreak, you can change that by installing a new free jailbreak tweak called Wake It Up by iOS developer XCXiao.
Veteran jailbreak tweak developer Carlos Perez, more colloquially known to the jailbreak community as CPDigitalDarkroom, made a substantial announcement via Twitter on Monday that he would make all of his paid jailbreak tweaks free and open source.
In a big thank you to the community for its support over the years, Perez also noted how making all his projects free and open source wasn’t a sign of his departure from jailbreaking. Instead, it was an attempt to inspire a new generation of jailbreak tweak developers.
With jailbreak tools under development for both iOS 10.3-10.3.3 and iOS 11.0-11.1.2, it’s tough to discern where users should be for the best experience possible these days. Nevertheless, developers continue to release new jailbreak tweaks despite the erratic state of the community.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the new jailbreak tweaks released throughout the week. As usual, we’ll kick things off by showcasing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.
Whenever you receive long text messages or emails, iOS automatically limits the amount of text that displays inside of your incoming notifications. In most cases, this means unlocking your device to read the entire message rather than reading it from the Lock screen notification preview.
A new free jailbreak tweak called MoreLinesNotifications by iOS developer CydiaGeek tries to solve this problem by maximizing the amount of text that each incoming notification displays.
CoolStar launched the tenth beta of his Electra jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-11.1.2 on Wednesday, but it seems that we can expect another update very soon.
You might recall that the beta 10 changelog cited several new pre-packaged tools, and it now seems clear as to why…
On Wednesday, CoolStar released the tenth beta of his Electra jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-11.1.2. The new release incorporates a bevy of bug fixes with the intention of making the experience more stable for everyone.
Electra still doesn’t install Cydia because Saurik hasn’t updated it for iOS 11 just yet, but users can take advantage of SSH connectivity to install tweaks and extensions for personal enjoyment.
Customizing the application Dock has always been a favorite past-time for jailbreakers, and a new free tweak dubbed Marina by iOS developer CydiaGeek takes that notion into consideration.
Out of the box, Marina lets you customize the number of apps in your Dock and change how it displays on your Home Screen. Imbued with these abilities, you can make your dock both more functional and better-looking than it would be on a stock device.
Amid everything happening with the iOS 11 jailbreak situation as of late, there hasn’t been very much going on in the iOS 10 department. On the other hand, Sticktron changed that over the weekend by releasing G0blin RC2 to jailbreak most iOS 10-3-10.3.3 devices.
G0blin RC2 comes just two weeks after the launch of G0blin RC1, and it brings a plethora of significant bug fixes and improvements that should appeal to anyone handling a stock iOS 10.3-10.3.3 device.
Despite the crazy roller coaster that the iOS 11 jailbreak department has been on lately, developers are still releasing jailbreak tweaks for customizing the iOS experience.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about this week’s noteworthy releases. As always, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorites and outline the rest of them afterward.
Not even 24 hours after the release of Electra beta 8-2, CoolStar pushed beta 9 of the iOS 11.0-11.1.2 jailbreak tool on Saturday with a slew of additional bug fixes and performance improvements.
Just like the LiberiOS tool that launched last year, Electra utilizes Ian Beer’s open-source tfp0 exploit to jailbreak supported devices. Notably, it doesn’t install Cydia because Saurik hasn’t updated it for iOS 11 just yet. Instead, users need to resort to SSH for installing extensions.
One of the fundamental reasons people jailbreak their devices is being able to customize the look and feel of their device, and a new free jailbreak tweak called customizedNotes by iOS developer CydiaGeek lives up to that expectation.
Just as the name implies, customizedNotes lets you personalize iOS’ stock Notes app, allowing you to stand out from every other iPhone user out there.
Security researcher Ian Beer made headlines last year after finding and releasing a tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.0-11.1.2, which powers jailbreak tools like Electra and LiberiOS, just to name a few. But now there’s a new kernel exploit in town, and it impacts later iterations of iOS.
Citing Apple’s security content web page, Tuesday’s iOS 11.2.5 update patches a kernel-level exploit discovered by security researcher Russ Cox, and it purportedly works on iOS 11.2-11.2.1.
