Cydia news and information: read the latest development about Cydia, including jailbreak tweaks.
If you like adding personalization on your jailbroken device, then sometimes it’s the simple things that stand out the most. Subtly changing UI colors so they don’t overpower the whole interface or user experience is just one example of this concept.
A new free jailbreak tweak called Tinc by iOS developer ridn lets you tint the interfaces of Notification Center and/or Control Center in iOS any color you like, and is a testament too subtle customization.
If you ever listen to radio apps or random playlists that you didn’t create, then you’re probably familiar with how it feels when you can’t quite figure out what’s playing; a real buzzkill when you like the beat and want to save the song for later.
A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Hypeman by iOS developer ridn can help in this regard, as it keeps you in the loop with song information every time the Now Playing track changes.
Banner notifications throughout iOS 10 are bland, lacking any visual appeal whatsoever. On the other hand, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Cheader by iOS developer ridn aims to fix that.
Once installed, Cheader automatically colorizes your notification banners based on the dominant color found in the icon of the app that delivered the notification.
Control Center is one of the most useful interfaces you can use in iOS, as it provides you with quick access to toggles, shortcuts, and music playback options from anywhere.
If you ever find yourself using a specific Control Center card more frequently than the other and prefer the interface wouldn't remember the card you used last, then you’d probably like a new free jailbreak tweak called PresentPage by iOS developer Cole Cabral.
Every department of iOS has its quirks that some users wished could look or behave a little bit differently. Sometimes those wishes can come true, as long as you're jailbroken.
If you feel this way about Notification Center, then a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Lace by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson might be worth looking into.
The Yalu iOS 10 jailbreak, just like the iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak before it, is a semi-untethered jailbreak. This means you must re-sign the jailbreak app after 7 days with Cydia Impactor in order to keep your jailbreak app functioning after a reboot.
A new free jailbreak tweak called IconCert by iOS developer faz helps you keep better track of your Yalu app’s signing status so you can take the proper action to re-sign it accordingly.
If you’re interested in spicing up the look of Notification Center a bit, then you might like a new free jailbreak tweak called NCWallCustomizer by iOS developer iKilledAppl3.
This tweak lets you change the Notification Center wallpaper by using any image file you have in your Photo Library.
The Dock is a special part of the Home screen that houses your favorite apps and appears on all pages except for the Today page, which is where your widgets appear. On the other hand, if you wanted to change that, you officially can.
A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed ViewDockOnTodayView by CydiaGeek allows the Dock appear on the Today page with all of your widgets and in addition to all of your regular Home screen pages.
Your iPhone’s Personal Hotspot password is displayed as a string of text in the Settings app, which means anyone can look over your shoulder and figure out your password without you knowing.
A new free jailbreak tweak called MaskedHotspotPass by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson helps to do away with this problem by concealing your Personal Hotspot password from the preferences pane.
Whenever you listen to music on your iPhone, the Now Playing interface in Control Center is just a few swipes away. From here, you can see information about your song and control your music playback.
As convenient as the Now Playing page is, a new free jailbreak tweak called AMP by iOS developer CP Digital Darkroom makes the interface even easier to get to by making it the default Control Center card whenever media is playing.
If you’ve got nostalgia for older skeuomorphic versions of iOS, or you’re just looking for a different look and feel for your device altogether, then a new jailbreak tweak called ClassicFolders 2 just might tickle your fancy.
This tweak gives your folders a throwback to the days of iOS 6 and earlier by giving them a page break-style instead of the full-screen effect that's been around since iOS 7.
The Now Playing interface found both on the Lock screen and in Control Center when you're listening to music is the main focus of a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Masq by iOS developer candoizo.
The tweak lets you spice up the look of each interface independently with themes and a trough of aesthetic options. Tailored for the creative mind, Masq is a great addition to themed devices and stock-looking devices alike.
