It’s Sunday again, and that means it’s time to wrap up the weekend with another jailbreak tweak roundup.

In this piece, we’ll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the week. As usual, we’ll kick things off by showcasing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up with an outline of everything else.

Give the Spotify app some color with this tweak

The Spotify Music app usually adopts a black and green color scheme, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle if you’d prefer to change things up. A new free jailbreak tweak called Colorify by iOS developer chloeeisoaky lets you change the app’s color scheme to your liking.

Shown above, you can gaze upon some examples of how the Spotify Music app looks after modifying its core colors. These include the background, the tabs at the bottom of the app, and even the text that describes the music you’re looking at.

With Electra being the most current jailbreak tool for Apple-branded handsets, we’re beginning to see more iOS 11-oriented jailbreak tweaks in Cydia as time goes by.

Get a better battery level indicator on your iPhone X with Bazzi

If you’re looking to get more out of the battery indicator on your jailbroken iPhone X, then we’d recommend checking out a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Bazzi by iOS developer NeinZedd9.

Unlike the traditional battery level indicator in the iPhone X’s notched Status Bar, Bazzi aims to provide users with more information at a glance by displaying the battery level percentage within the battery level indicator itself. This ultimately lets you avoid having to open Control Center to see the numeric percentage.

LaughingQuoll makes the ‘Eleven’ series of jailbreak tweaks free in Cydia

If you had (or still have) a jailbroken iOS 10 device, then you may already be familiar with a particular collection of jailbreak tweaks by iOS developer LaughingQuoll that could make your handset look like it was running iOS 11.

The entire suite went by the collective name ‘Eleven,’ and while each tweak in the collection initially had its own individual price tag, that all changed Monday evening after LaughingQuoll announced a significant price slash via Twitter.

We're starting to see more iOS 11-oriented jailbreak tweak releases as time goes by. Many of those have are exclusive to the iPhone X, but some still work on Apple’s other handsets.

In this roundup, we’ll talk about every new jailbreak tweak released in Cydia throughout the past week. As usual, we’ll kick things off by showcasing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up by outlining the rest afterward.

Last chance to restore your device to iOS 11.1.2 with futurerestore!

Update: iOS 11.2.6 is now unsigned. You can no longer use futurerestore to restore any device to any firmware below iOS 11.3. Do not attempt the restores mentioned in this article.

With the official release of iOS 11.3, the clock is ticking on iOS 11.2.6 signing. Normally this wouldn't mean much to jailbreakers, who would be staying on a lower jailbroken firmware. This time however, it's different. Many users on iOS 9 and 10 jailbreaks are waiting to see how the iOS 11 tools turn out before making the jump. So far, iOS 11.2-11.2.6 have maintained SEP and baseband compatibility with iOS 11.0-11.1.2 (the last jailbreakable firmwares), which allowed users to make the jump at any point, or wait it out a little longer.

This tweak hides the notch on the iPhone X

While many iPhone X users have embraced the handset’s distinct notch, there are still tons of people who just can’t seem to get over it.

If you’re one of the latter and your iPhone X is jailbroken, then a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed noNotch by iOS developer Jake James might be worth checking out.

RealCC improves Control Center’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles

Control Center’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles don’t entirely disable their corresponding wireless radios on iOS 11, but instead limit their capabilities such that system processes like AirDrop and Instant Hotspot, among others, continue working.

If you wish that iOS 11’s Control Center-based Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles worked as you’d expect them to, then you might be interested in a new free jailbreak tweak called RealCC by iOS developer Jake James.
