We fashion together an easy-to-digest jailbreak tweak roundup every week such that you can make well-informed decisions about what to install on your pwned handset. This week is no different.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released on most significant repositories from Monday, August 5th to Sunday, August 11th. As always, we’ll discuss our favorite releases first and then cap things off with an outline of the rest afterward.
If you’ve ever fancied setting custom display brightness and/or speaker volume levels for individual apps before, then it’s your lucky day. A newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed Appaze by iOS developer AnthoPak lets you do these things with ease.
As shown in the screenshot examples above, Appaze utilizes the Home screen’s native 3D Touch menus to function. Upon pressing firmly on an app icon to reveal its menu, users will find two new additions, including “Set custom brightness” and “Set custom volume” at the top of the list.
It makes no sense to put fruit and ninjas together. It just wouldn't work, right? Well, Halfbrick Studios decided to make a juicy, addictive combination that took the world by surprise. I'm talking about Fruit Ninja Classic an unexpected game for the iPhone that was released back in 2010.
Now, with even a VR version of the game and a Youtube Red series, the Fruit Ninja series is still popular, addictive and tasty. But, we're not here for the current state of the game. Instead, we're interested in its past. Welcome to Retro Review, and today we'll be taking a look at the original, the classic, the one that started it all: Fruit Ninja Classic.
Apple’s iPhones sport some of the best mobile point-and-shoot cameras in the industry. While their megapixel counts aren’t always as high as some of the Android-powered handsets out there, an iPhone’s camera stands apart from the rest because of the powerful software that drives it, and this includes the Portrait mode that comes baked into the native Camera app.
Portrait mode comes in handy at times when trying to snap the ideal photograph of a subject – be it an object or a person. Sadly, it’s limited to handsets that are equipped with dual cameras, with the iPhone XR being the lone exception to this rule, but jailbreakers can now take advantage of a newly-released jailbreak tweak called PortraitXI by iOS developer foxfortmobile to circumvent this needless limitation.
If you’ve been using an iPhone for more than a week, then you probably don’t need to be reminded to “swipe up to unlock” or “press home to unlock.” Apple designs its devices to display this text whenever you’re looking at your locked handset’s Lock screen, and to some, it feels unnecessary.
If you’re ready to rid yourself of that silly text with something more useful, then chances are you’ll come to appreciate a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called WeatherUnlockText by iOS developer XCXiao. This tweak replaces the standard text string with weather information for your current location, as shown in the screenshot example above.
Users of the Chimera or Electra jailbreaks will be happy to hear that the Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager on Tuesday with bug fixes and performance improvements.

The People album in the Photos app is a pretty cool collection that’s assembled for you to quickly view pictures of the people in your life. So when someone new enters that you start snapping photos of, you might want them in that People album too. Unfortunately, they may not show up there as quickly as you might like.
Luckily there is a really easy way to add a new person to the People album in your Photos app or iCloud Photos library. Here’s how.
If you’re enjoying an iOS 11 or iOS 12 jailbreak by way of the Electra Team’s Chimera or Electra tools, then you might be excited to learn that the Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager Sunday morning, bringing the public release up to version 1.2.9.
The Sileo Team announced the update early this morning via Twitter, noting that it would make the user interface significantly faster when doing critical tasks such as refreshing sources or downloading packages:
It's been a crazy a week with all these jailbreak tool updates and what not, but if you've been keeping up with it all and you're interested in tweaking your pwned handset, then you're in the right place.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, July 29th to Sunday, August 4th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up with an outline of the rest afterward.
The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles that Apple tucks away inside of Control Center can be useful at times, but they lack the level of interactivity that I’d expect from 21st Century software. Apple’s iOS 13 update this Fall will change this by letting users interact with nearby Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices directly from Control Center, but those running iOS 12 or earlier aren’t so lucky.
Enter QuickCC, a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer ichitaso that brings this iOS 13-centric functionality to pwned iOS 11 and 12 devices for users who demand more from their software.
