It wasn’t long ago that security researcher Ian Beer released a handful of convenient exploits for some of the latest iterations of iOS 11, and now CoolStar's Electra jailbreak tool is well on its way to supporting these particular firmware versions as a result.
While the official Electra web page hasn’t been updated with a new version of the tool just yet, the Electra Team continues to update the jailbreak community with progress milestone announcements as they transpire.
There are some exciting things happening in the jailbreak community as of late, especially since CoolStar is getting the chance to bring iOS 11.3.1 support to the popular Electra jailbreak tool thanks to Ian Beer’s new tfp0 exploit.
In this roundup, we’ll be talking about all the jailbreak tweaks released from June 11th until June 17th. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward for your convenience.
If you do excessive amounts of typing on your iOS device, then you may be able to benefit from a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed FastDeleteKey by iOS developer CydiaGeek.
FastDeleteKey makes it so that you don't have to wait forever for the keyboard's backspace function to delete large blocks of text. The tweak brings tunable backspace velocities to iOS so that you can move along at just about any rate of speed you desire.
Trampoline is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Patrick that gives your iOS device a revised app-launching/closing animation; and just as the name suggests, it’s quite springy.

Ian Beer’s newly-released tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.3.1 ignited a lot of hope for a corresponding jailbreak tool, and it shouldn’t be long before jailbreak tool developers like CoolStar are able to deliver a functional product to the public masses.
But Beer hasn’t stopped there; the renowned security researcher shared a new proof-of-concept VFS exploit dubbed ‘empty_list’ on Twitter this Wednesday that seems to be facilitating innovative works in the jailbreak community.
Renowned security researcher Ian Beer recently outed yet another tfp0 exploit, this time for iOS 11.3.1. But while certain jailbreak developers are hard at work on a public jailbreak tool that utilizes said exploit, others seem to be moving ahead and devising jailbreaks for newer versions of iOS.
A video shared in a Tweet by Richard Zhu this week appears to demonstrate a functional jailbreak on an iOS 11.4 device.
Whenever you begin a screen recording on your iPhone or iPad with the handy Control Center shortcut in iOS 11, your device displays a red indicator in the Status Bar to remind you that a screen recording is in progress.
For those who’d rather not see a red indicator in their recordings at all, a new free jailbreak tweak called SilentRecorder by iOS developer Kiran Patil is now available in Cydia that can help.
Starting with iOS 11, the Dock has become much smarter on the iPad. Not only does it serve as a spot for your favorite apps, but it can also suggest other apps based upon your usage.
Unfortunately, iPhone users don’t get the same treatment, but a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed FloatingDock by iOS developer Kiran Patil can change that.
If you send an enormous amount of text messages (iMessages included) to your contacts, then a new free jailbreak tweak called CountMyMessages by iOS developer Kiran Patil may be of interest to you.
Just as the name implies, this tweak provides you with a way of monitoring the total number of messages you’ve sent or received from within the stock Messages app.
If the iPhone or iPad that you use to listen to your favorite media happens to be jailbroken on iOS 11, then you may want to check out a new free jailbreak tweak called Straw by iOS developer Jake Kaslewicz.
This tweak acts as your own personal song announcer by presenting a banner at the top of your display every time a new track starts playing.
The jailbreak community is pumped up with all sorts of new excitement over the news that Ian Beer found and plans to release a tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.3.1. More importantly, CoolStar’s Electra jailbreak is expected to add support for the new exploit in due time.
If you’re as excited as we are about the upcoming ability to jailbreak iOS 11.3.1, then take a moment to familiarize yourself with some of the latest new jailbreak tweaks. This roundup discusses all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the past week, beginning with our favorites.
Apple stopped signing iOS 11.3.1 on Friday, a move that prevents most iPhone and iPad users from downgrading their firmware to anything older than iOS 11.4.
iOS 11.4 was just released about a week ago, so this news shouldn’t come off as much of a surprise. Nevertheless, it’s sure to drum up some disappointment considering the likelihood that iOS 11.3.1 will gain jailbreak support thanks to a new tfp0 exploit released by security researcher Ian Beer.
