In a rarely seen walk back on Tuesday, iOS security researcher and Dopamine jailbreak lead developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) released and then pulled an updated version of the Dopamine jailbreak tool in the form of version 2.3.
While perusing /r/jailbreak this past week, I happened upon a new and somewhat interesting release by Redditor /u/Smart-Ad-8635 called MySign that strives to be a convenient on-device sideloading platform for iPhones and iPads.
While some weeks are slower than others when it comes to news spouting from the iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities, the fact remains that the iDownloadBlog team keeps close tabs on the latest developments that could have an impact on our readers.
One of my biggest qualms with the Lock Screen on any iPhone or iPad is the fact that the number pad for passcode entry always has the same layout. This means that even if someone who’s glancing over your shoulder doesn’t know exactly what numbers you’re tapping on, they can instead easily memorize the positions of the number buttons you tap on to gain access to your device.
The first thing you see whenever you unlock your iPhone or iPad and begin using it is the Home Screen. This is the part of your device that acts as the springboard into your favorite apps and user experiences.
Music listeners who primarily use the Spotify application to stream their favorite songs, and who also have a jailbroken device at their disposal, have a strong potential to be able to enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called CanvasSync by iOS developer pkgFiles.
The palera1n jailbreak, which relies on the venerable checkm8 hardware-based bootrom exploit to perform its magic, picked up a minor update this week in the form of version 2.1 beta 1.
The iDownloadBlog team monitors for new developments in the iPhone jailbreak community and reports what we find all week long, but if you might’ve missed some of that important knowledge from this past week, then you’ve come to the right place because this will be a dedicated roundup piece aimed at helping you get caught up.
We previously showed you how you can change the root user password on your jailbroken handset with an on-device terminal app like NewTerm. But since then, the process has changed slightly, especially if using modern rootless jailbreaks on iOS or iPadOS 15 and later, such as Dopamine or palera1n. Fortunately, we will share the updated process with you in today’s tutorial.
Have you ever wanted to spawn phony notifications on your iPhone or iPad from your favorite apps? If so, then a new and open-source project called Spawn Me by iOS developer ItsKofo might be of interest to you.
One of the key features of iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia is the ability to remotely control your iPhone from your Mac. But what if we told you that you did not need to update and lose your jailbreak to enjoy this functionality?
Every single week, the iDB team works tirelessly to bring its readers the iPhone & iPad jailbreak-oriented news they deserve. But we know people get busy throughout the week, which is why we make an easy-to-digest roundup every Sunday.
