BatteryFlow Reborn is a new and free jailbreak tweak developed by ItzNebbs with the intent of making iPhone users more actively aware of their handset’s low battery situation by continuously bombarding them with notification alerts and banners.
There’ve been a lot of exciting announcements in the jailbreak community these past few weeks, from checkra1n getting support for A10(X) devices, to the release of a new exploit encompassing iOS 13.5.1-13.7 and the jailbreak tools that received support thereafter. These announcements make it that much more exciting for us to showcase jailbreak tweak releases as they become available.
In this roundup, we’ll show you all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, November 16th to Sunday, November 22nd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite tweaks first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward, where we’ll also give you a summarized outline of all the most exciting jailbreak news from this past week.
Apple has improved the multitasking experience on the iPad by leaps and bounds over the years – quite literally going from an iPhone-style App Switcher to side-by-side apps over the course of just a few years. But for whatever reason, multitasking on the iPhone still bestows upon users what some might consider to be a cumbersome experience.
Those wishing that they could simply run windowed applications on their iPhone just as they can on their Mac or Windows PC might take a liking to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Fuji by iOS developer dcsyhi, because as depicted in the series of screenshot examples above, that’s precisely what this tweak allows iPhone users to do.
Lots of iPhone users take their handset’s battery performance very seriously, and given just how much of our lives appear to be driven by the apps we use every day, this doesn’t come off as much of a surprise.
While the iPhone’s Status Bar displays a persistent battery level indicator to alert users to the current charge state of their device, one thing it doesn’t do is provide users with an adequate understanding of the current load on their battery. That’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed BattRate by iOS developer Julio Verne comes into play.
Hot off the heels of everything going on with the Odyssey jailbreak and the newly released exploit for iOS 13.5.1-13.7, the checkra1n team seemingly appeared from out of nowhere Friday evening with an unexpected update for its bootrom exploit-powered jailbreak tool, checkra1n.
The checkra1n team announced the release of the new update, dubbed version 0.12.1, via Twitter just minutes ago:
The Odyssey Team updated its jailbreak tool on Friday to add support for the newly released iOS 13.5.1-13.7 exploit, and while the updated tool attracted a lot of positive response from the community, some avid jailbreakers were left disappointed after learning that handsets equipped with A8 or A9 chips and running the newly supported firmware versions weren’t supported – at least not at the time of this writing.
A Tweet shared by the Odyssey Team this Friday afternoon, offered some transparency into the current situation:
Odyssey jailbreak loyalists were excited to learn about the Wander Shortcuts extension when it launched just under three months ago. With it, Odyssey users could install and update their jailbreak on-device directly through Apple’s native Shortcuts app.
Following the news that the Odyssey jailbreak tool had been updated to version 1.2 early Friday morning with support for a newly released tfp0 exploit for iOS & iPadOS 13.5.1-13.7, Wander developer BurritoSoftware likewise launched an update for the popular Shortcuts extension, bringing it up to version 1.2.1:
The Odyssey Team updated its iOS 13-centric Odyssey jailbreak tool at the crack of dawn Friday morning to version 1.2, adding support for the new iOS 13.5.1-13.7 exploit that was released by FreeTheSandbox in collaboration with ZecOps just yesterday.
An announcement about the release was Tweeted by the Odyssey Team’s official Twitter account this morning with a link for avid jailbreakers to download the tool for themselves:
Those suffering from impaired vision may find it more challenging to read web pages in the Safari web browser on the iPhone and iPad. While pinch to zoom offers a viable short-term solution, it doesn’t necessarily make reading websites with tiny text any less cumbersome because users would still need to pan and scroll around on the website to keep zoomed text in sight while reading.
SafariReader is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer ljinc that sets out to offer a more ideal solution to the aforementioned qualm. It does so by empowering the user to adjust the website’s text zoom level with nothing more than a double-tap.
Perhaps you’ve got a jailbroken iPhone or iPad and you’re looking to personalize your handset’s user interface more than you can out of the box. Or perhaps you’re happy with the user interface, but simply wish that you could use different colors than the ones Apple provides to you.
If either of the aforementioned circumstances sounds like it applies to you, then we think you’re going to enjoy a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed ProjectX by iOS developer Ethan Whited, as it can make colorizing the iOS or iPadOS user interface, regardless of the app, possible with just a few taps.
