The Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager late Tuesday evening with a plethora of improvements, officially bringing the Chimera and Electra jailbreak-centric package manager to version 1.4.0 in the process.
The Sileo Team announced the update via the official @GetSileo Twitter page, and from what we can gather, this is a particularly ‘big’ update for users and repositories alike:
The Electra Team has dropped an updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool on Tuesday, bringing the public release up to version 1.3.7.
Citing the official announcement, which was shared early this morning via the Electra Team’s official Twitter account, this update implements support for getting and setting nonce generator on A12(X) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.2 and 12.4:
If you ever enter phone numbers manually into the iPhone’s native Phone app when placing calls, then you might find that the green call button at the bottom of the app is more challenging to reach one-handed than it needs to be.
iOS developer iCraze identified the setback with this and has released a new jailbreak tweak dubbed LongerCallButton to address it.
While there are slight variances in the Dock's background appearance between iPhone models, such as the iPad-style rounded corners on the iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max when compared to the rectangular appearance on every other handset, the fact remains that all iOS devices have a Dock background of some sort.
If you’re in the market to do away with the Dock’s transparent background to maximize your Home screen wallpaper’s visibility, then we think you’ll take a liking to a newly released jailbreak tweak called ClearDock12 by iOS developer NoisyFlake.
It’s a great time to be an active participant in the jailbreak community – not only because you can jailbreak iOS 12.4, Apple’s latest non-beta public mobile operating system, but also because A12(X) support with Cydia is just around the corner.
That said, if you’re jailbroken and you’re looking for ways to trick out your handset, then you’ll definitely want to check out this roundup. Below, we’ll discuss our favorite jailbreak tweak releases this weak and then outline the rest afterward.
It was only a few days ago that the Sileo Team first made Sileo Beta v1.3.6 available to the general public for testing purposes, but as you might come to expect, that was only the start of things.
A newer Sileo beta, launched Saturday evening as v1.3.6 beta 7, was announced just a few minutes ago via the official Sileo Team Twitter account:
Apart from a few refreshed application icons and a nice new wallpaper here and there, Apple hasn’t done much to improve the Home screen experience since the original iPhone. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that it’s a point of interest when it comes to customization on jailbroken handsets.
One such example is a brand-new jailbreak tweak release dubbed Carabiner by iOS developer LaughingQuoll. As shown in the screenshot example above, Carabiner crams several interfaces into the Home screen, providing a gorgeous all-in-one experience that provides more information at a glance.
If you’re in search of a way to make your jailbroken iPhone’s App Switcher more useful, then you may want to turn your attention to the likes of a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed XSwitcher by iOS developer CUNSTUCK.
As shown in the screenshot example above, XSwitcher lets you access various useful shortcuts in the App Switcher by just swiping down on any of your available application preview cards in the App Switcher interface.
The Dock on any stock iPhone’s Home screen is limited to just four application icons, but with a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed 2dock by iOS developer Nepeta, you can effortlessly double the app real estate for any iPhone’s Dock.
As you might’ve noticed from the screenshot example above, 2dock doesn’t make the Dock scrollable, nor does it push all the app icons together and cause crowding. Instead, it transforms the Dock we all know and love by turning it into a dual-row interface.
Home screen folders on an iPhone can hold up to nine apps per page at a time, but in certain cases involving extreme Home screen-centric UI customization often necessitate delicate icon balance, and the native look and feel can sometimes appear unsightly or asymmetrical.
If you’d appreciate a nicer-looking folder icon on your Home screen, then chances are that you might take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called 2x2 by iOS developer Nepeta.
I’ve always been a proponent of keyboard-enhancing jailbreak tweaks for the iOS platform, and with that in mind, I’m particularly excited to share the news of a recent release dubbed iKeywi 4 (iOS 11~12) by iOS developer hiraku.
As you might’ve inferred already from the name, this isn’t the first iteration of the iKeywi tweak; it’s the fourth. Each new iteration has brought with it support for newer versions of iOS and introduced new features for users to enjoy, and this release is no different.
The Sileo Team surprised us all on Wednesday with a new beta iteration of the package manager that gets installed by default on iOS 11 and 12 devices liberated with the Electra Team’s Chimera and Electra jailbreaks.
Citing the Sileo Team’s announcement, shared via Twitter several minutes ago, Sileo Beta v1.3.6 simplifies the process of converting webview-based jailbreak tweak depictions to native depictions.
