Tweak your pwned handset’s volume HUD with Volume Controller
As you interact with the volume buttons on your iPhone or iPad, a subtle yet functional volume HUD appears on the screen for a brief moment to advise you what your current volume level is. Users can also make fine adjustments to their handset’s volume level by performing tap and drag gestures on the volume HUD interface itself.
But let’s say you wanted a different volume HUD shape or X/Y positioning on the screen — this is something Apple doesn’t offer as a native feature on the iPhone or iPad out of the box. Fortunately, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Volume Controller by iOS developer Tomasz Poliszuk can help with that.
Luca Todesco teases full exploit and PAC bypass for iOS 14.0.1
The only iOS & iPadOS 14 devices that can be publicly jailbroken at the time of this writing are those sporting A9 and A9X processors, and while that could change in the very near future as the checkra1n team works on adding A10 and A10X support, the bigger question involves the likes of much newer devices that aren’t even susceptible to the checkm8 bootrom exploit.
Fortunately, renowned hacker and checkra1n team member Luca Todesco shared a particularly interesting announcement via Twitter Monday afternoon in the form of what appears to be a working exploit and PAC bypass for iOS & iPadOS 14 devices:
ABC Research may release an iOS 14 exploit, but only if Apple patches it first
There’s a certain stigma surrounding jailbreaking and iOS & iPadOS 14 right about now, and all of it stems from the fact that Apple made its latest and greatest mobile operating systems a lot tougher to crack. But tougher doesn’t mean impossible, and that’s a fact, Jack.
With that in mind, it seemed appropriate to follow up with our optimistic attitude following Brandon Azad’s eye-tearing departure from Project Zero with a bit of good news: software security research group ABC Research appears willing to release an iOS & iPadOS 14-compatible exploit to the general public, assuming certain criteria are met…

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Bakgrunnr, Dove, Puck, and more…
With a new mobile operating system upon us and a recently teased iOS 14-centric security vulnerability, the wait has started to see if and when a new jailbreak tool will be made and released to liberate Apple’s device users from the company’s so-called ‘walled garden.’ That aside, those who are already jailbroken are surely wondering about the best ways to take advantage of their pwned handset, and that’s what this piece will be all about.
In this roundup, we’ll showcase all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, September 28th to Sunday, October 4th. As always, we’ll kick things off by showcasing our favorite tweaks first and then move on to an outline of all the rest afterward.
Centauri lets jailbreakers on iOS 14 customize the native Batteries widget
One of the most substantial changes Apple implemented in the new iOS and iPadOS 14 software updates a couple of weeks ago involves widget functionality. Once confined to the Today page, widgets can now be integrated directly into the Home Screen user experience; furthermore, those same widgets have become more advanced and interactive than they were in previous versions of iOS and iPadOS, but they’re still far from perfect.
If you’re fortunate enough to have a jailbroken iOS or iPadOS 14 device at your disposal (currently only possible with the checkra1n jailbreak and an A9 or A9X handset at the time of this writing), then you may now take advantage of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Centauri by iOS developer MTAC to unlock new features specifically designed for iOS and iPadOS 14’s native Batteries widget.
Dove is a free all-in-one jailbreak tweak for customizing iOS 13
All-in-one jailbreak tweaks have become a dime-a-dozen these days as jailbreak tweak developers begin to realize just how much jailbreakers prefer using one tweak that can do everything over using a plethora of smaller tweaks to achieve the same means.
The latest all-in-one jailbreak tweak to hit the shelves is a new and free release called Dove by iOS developer fahlnbg, and it covers a wide variety of iOS elements, including but not limited to the App Switcher, the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, Control Center, and notifications, among other things.
