Pwn20wnd just got done updating the unc0ver jailbreak tool to version 3.3.0 beta 3 this morning, and in an unforeseen turn of events, he has just updated unc0ver again this afternoon to beta 4 with an important reliability fix involving the Sock Puppet exploit for iOS 12.2.
Pwn20wnd announced the updated version of unc0ver just a few moments ago via Twitter:
Following yesterday’s Sock Puppet exploit release by @NedWilliamson, jailbreak developers such as Pwn20wnd and the Electra Team have been scrambling to implement support into the unc0ver and Chimera jailbreaks.
While the unc0ver jailbreak has supported Sock Puppet since yesterday afternoon, the Electra Team said that it was internally testing iOS 12.2 support for Chimera and that a release was imminent. Despite having no stern ETA at the time, the Electra Team officially released Chimera v1.2.0 just this morning with support for iOS versions 12.1.3-12.2.
Just yesterday, Pwn20wnd updated the unc0ver jailbreak with support for @NedWilliamson’s Sock Puppet exploit, which brought official support for iOS versions 12.1.3-12.2. This afternoon, Pwn20wnd updated unc0ver again, bringing the tool up to version 3.3.0 beta 3.
Pwn20wnd announced the update via Twitter just this morning, noting that it incorporates several bug fixes:
iOS’ notification system certainly gets the point across when you receive a notification, but it hasn’t had much of an aesthetic overhaul for quite some time now. If you’re jailbroken and in the market for a somewhat exhilarating new notification experience, then you might take a liking to a newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed GlyphAlert by iOS developer c1d3r.
Just as the name implies, GlyphAlert takes a glyph-centric approach to letting you know when you have an incoming notification. The glyphs, such as those shown in the screenshot examples above, are animated and can be assigned to specific applications, depending on what they represent.
One of the things I like about having an iOS device is that I can set a Live Photo as my wallpaper if I wanted to. On the other hand, animating that Live Photo generally requires some kind of user interaction from the Lock screen, and this tends to make the experience less exciting overall.
A newly-released jailbreak tweak called AutoDynamicWallpaper(A12 Support) by iOS developer anima gets you around this silly bottleneck by forcing any Live Photo-centric wallpapers you might have to play automatically as the device wakes. With that in mind, you won’t need to interact with your Live Photo-based wallpaper in any way to enjoy its liveliness.
Pwn20wnd just got done updating the unc0ver jailbreak tool with support for the new ‘Sock Puppet’ exploit by @NedWilliamson with support for firmware versions up to iOS 12.2, and as it would seem, the Electra team isn’t too far behind.
In a series of Tweets shared just this afternoon, the Electra Team revealed that it would soon update the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool with support for the new ‘Sock Puppet’ exploit:
In what could only be described as a surprising treat for the jailbreak community, Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v3.3.0 betas 1 and 2 to the general public on Thursday with official support for all firmware versions up to iOS 12.2. This means that in addition to the previously-supported iOS 11.0-12.1.2, unc0ver now supports iOS versions 12.1.3, 12.1.4, and 12.2.
Pwn20wnd announced the updated unc0ver jailbreak tool just this afternoon, adding that it takes full advantage of @NedWilliamson’s tfp0 exploit, which has been subtly named ‘Sock Puppet’ by its creator:
Getting notified of unnecessary messages from an overly active email thread? In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to mute emails in the Apple Mail app on your iPhone or iPad and customize its settings.
Just yesterday, hacker and unc0ver jailbreak lead developer Pwn20wnd confirmed that both Cydia and Cydia Substrate would run without any turbulence on iOS 12.2. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the announcement led many to ask if the same would be true about Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 update, which is poised to drop sometime this Fall.
Pwn20wnd appeared to share this same curiosity, and so he deployed Cydia and Cydia Substrate on an emulated and pre-jailbroken installation of the iOS 13 beta to find out. The results of his test were announced on Twitter early this morning:
Apple yesterday opened its first developer accelerator program in Shanghai, China.
As you move from one part of town to the next, your iPhone intelligently moves from one cellular connection to another in an effort to maintain the highest-quality internet connection that it can. Unfortunately, sometimes the iPhone favors slower connections with a higher signal over faster connections with a lower signal, and this can impact performance.
Those who’d like to have more control over their handset’s cellular network selection might take a liking to a newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed NetworkManager by iOS developer NoisyFlake, as it lets you switch between preferred network type(s) on the fly.
After jailbreaking an iPhone or iPad, you might respring the device from time to time, as it can help you save changes made to jailbreak extensions in addition to other things. With that in mind, wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a dedicated shortcut for respringing or performing other boot options in a pinch?
Those in agreeance may want to check out a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called Spotpower by iOS developer Castyte, as it makes many of these essential functions more accessible to the common jailbreaker. Moreover, it implements these features into a familiar interface that many will use daily: Apple’s own Spotlight search.
