Cydia news and information: read the latest development about Cydia, including jailbreak tweaks.
Upon refreshing your Cydia sources this week, you should take note of a new free jailbreak tweak called NavAway by iOS developer Wh0ba.
Just as the tweak’s name suggests, NavAway makes your iPhone’s navigation bar magically disappear as you scroll down in specific scrollable applications. When you begin scrolling back up in the app, NavAway intelligently reveals the navigation bar again for your convenience.
Having a jailbroken iPhone or iPad means being able to customize it such that it delivers an experience unlike anyone else’s handset, and with a new free jailbreak tweak called Cabello by iOS developer daniel63194, you can do just that.
Cabello compliments your handset’s hardware buttons with customizable effects, such as custom sounds and haptic feedback. Right out of the box, the tweak lets you configure these parameters for the Home button, volume buttons, and the sleep/wake button.
Folders are incredibly useful for managing cluttered Home screens, but their core design hasn’t changed much in some of the most recent iterations of iOS.
If you’re looking for a completely redesigned folder experience in iOS 11, then we encourage you to check out a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed CoolFolder by iOS developer 4nni3.
Depending on how often you take FaceTime or Phone calls on your iPhone, you might find it handy to have your handset automatically accept incoming calls from specific people under specific circumstances.
You can configure your iPhone to answer phone calls automatically if you have iOS 11, but a jailbreak tweak called AutoAnswer X (iOS 11) by iOS developer Elias Limneos provides a better long-term solution with more features and configuration than you could ever dream of receiving in an official iOS update from Apple.
Unlimited data plans are everywhere these days, but a significant percentage of the population still uses capped plans. Anyone in the latter category likely pays closer attention to their monthly data usage than unlimited users do. But in any case, iOS’ native cellular data monitoring system leaves a lot to be desired.
Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called ShowGoneCellularData by iOS developer Kevin Muller can help. This tweak compels iOS to display detailed cellular data usage stats for apps you’ve previously removed.
If you appreciated the first Apace jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson, then you’ll likely have a sweet spot for its iOS 11-compatible successor: Apace 2 (iOS 11).
Apace 2 augments your iOS handset’s Now Playing interface with features relevant to the app you use to listen to your favorite tunes. Whether you’re partial to Spotify, Deezer, or the native Music app, you could potentially benefit from what Apace 2 brings to the table.
Hot off the heels of a Rollectra/SemiRestore11 update this Labor Day weekend, developer and ex-Electra Team member Pwn20wnd has released another update to the un-jailbreaking tool on Tuesday. The latest update brings the utility’s version number up to 1.1.2.-1.
In case you’re in need of a refresher, the update that dropped on Labor Day weekend added support for iOS 11.3-11.4.X devices that had been jailbroken with Electra. Furthermore, it added a new option for un-jailbreaking your handset without losing your user data.
Looking for a new way to spice up that iOS 11 jailbreak? Then perhaps you should try a new jailbreak tweak release called Windmill by iOS developer LaughingQuoll.
Hot off the heels of the latest Cydia source refresh, Windmill brings a customizable toolbar to the iOS platform. With it, you can quickly get to your Home Screen, access the App Switcher, and return to your most-recently-used app in a jiff.
The jailbreak community hasn’t missed a beat since the Electra Team released its Electra1131 jailbreak tool. That said, we’ve seen several exciting jailbreak tweak releases.
This weekly roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks released from August 27th to September 2nd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and outline the rest afterward.
A handful of jailbreak tweaks have been released in recent memory that colorize the Now Playing interface in iOS 11, but one of the newest is ColorFlow 4 (iOS 11) by iOS developer David Goldman.
With ColorFlow 4 installed, the Now Playing interface adopts new color schemes that match the dominant colors of your album artwork. The animated GIF above depicts a few examples of how the tweak works on both the Lock screen and the native Music app.
Electra is the primary way to achieve a jailbreak on iOS 11 these days, but it’s still a great idea to have an un-jailbreak tool handy just in case something goes wrong. Rollectra/SemiRestore11, released in July by former Electra Team member Pwn20wnd, quickly filled these shoes. It utilized APFS snapshots to revert any device pwned with Electra to a stock state.
As of this week, however, Pwn20wnd released an updated version of the tool. Version 1.1-2 is available both as an upgrade in Cydia and as a separate jailed package that can be side-loaded even when you aren’t in a jailbroken state.
If you’ve gone through the trouble of jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad and are perusing for a fun and quirky way to customize it, then look no further than a new free jailbreak tweak called YouRespring by iOS developer Dev4i.
YouRespring lets you give your handset’s respring screen a fresh coat of paint. It replaces the traditional black screen with the central white spinner you see above with any animated GIF that you might fancy having as your respring screen.
