Looking for more Cydia repositories? We’ve got you covered
BigBoss became the last-standing default Cydia repository for jailbreak tweak developers and theme creators to submit packages to following the permanent archival of ModMyi and ZodTTD/MacCiti, but did you know there are several other Cydia repositories that you can download fun and exciting jailbreak add-ons from?
No, we’re not referring to piracy repositories and other shady sources; instead, we’re talking about third-party sources hosted by honest jailbreak developers for storing beta software, pre-releases, and jailbreak add-ons that you really can't get anywhere else.
Erie, ScrollBack, Signal, and other jailbreak tweaks to check out this weekend
While there’s been some turbulence in the jailbreak community as of late following the archival of the ModMyi and ZodTTD/MacCiti repositories, the BigBoss repository continues to serve the community by hosting a plethora of new jailbreak tweak releases.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all this past week’s tweak releases. As we do every weekend, we’ll start by showcasing our favorite jailbreak tweaks of the week, and then we’ll outline the rest afterward.
Apple releases iOS 11.2 with Apple Pay Cash, faster wireless charging, and date bug fix
Apple released iOS 11.2 to the public in the middle of the night Friday evening. The software updates brings support for Apple Pay Cash, and faster wireless charging speeds, but this unusual release time indicates that iOS 11.2 has more likely been pushed to fix an issue with a bug that just started appearing for iOS 11.1.2 users.
How to view all photos, sketches and documents stored in your Notes app
The Notes app allows users to take quick notes, make checklists, create sketches, and even store photos and documents. However, finding and organizing all of these stored items can be a bit challenging.
In this article, we will explore how to view all photos, sketches, and documents stored in your Notes app, making it easier to find and access your important information.
ScrollBack returns you to your place on a page after accidentally scrolling to the top via the Status Bar
In case you were unaware, you can quickly jump back to the top of a scrollable page in iOS by tapping on the Status Bar. This gesture has been possible in iOS for the longest time, and while it’s helpful, I’ll be the first to admit that sometimes I tap it by accident.
Nothing can be more frustrating than losing your place on a scrollable page and starting over at the top again, but a new free jailbreak tweak called ScrollBack by iOS developer leftyfl1p strives to make your life a little bit easier in these scenarios.

Erie adds haptic feedback to your iPhone’s button presses
One of the things we see a lot of in the jailbreak community are tweaks that bring haptic feedback to the iPhone, and a new free release called Erie by iOS developer Sniper_GER follows in these footsteps.
While most tweaks along these lines bring haptic feedback by way of screen taps, Erie takes a different approach by imposing haptic feedback whenever you press a button on your device.
This tweak lets you spoof your Status Bar’s carrier and signal information
When I first started jailbreaking many years ago, it seemed like tweaks for modifying the carrier details in the Status Bar were a hot commodity. Given just how much times have changed, you really don’t see tweaks like the classics anymore.
The new Signal jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Sniper_GER is a blast from the past, as it lets you spoof the Status Bar’s cellular information on any jailbroken device whether you have service or not.
Rename the cells in your Settings app with DopeSettings
While perusing the Changes tab in Cydia this week, I happened upon a new free jailbreak tweak called DopeSettings by iOS developer ARX8x. When I installed it, I nearly spit my morning coffee back out on my keyboard because I busted out laughing.
Google updates Docs, Sheets and Slides with iPhone X, iOS 11 & drag and drop support
Google today updated its mobile Docs, Sheets and Slides apps in App Store with full support for iOS 11, the new iPhone X screen resolution and drag and drop on compatible iPads.
This tweak disables the bothersome screenshot banners in several apps
A developing trend inside of App Store apps is to display an in-house notification banner anytime you snap a screenshot from within those apps. Although they’re supposed to make sharing things more accessible, some people don’t find the provided sharing options useful.
A whole host of recent jailbreak tweaks responded to these banners in apps like Instagram and Spotify, but a new free release called KillinAppsScreenshot by iOS developer CydiaGeek strives to become the ultimate all-in-one solution to disable these annoying banners in every one of your apps.
