Fine-tune your pwned handset’s animation speeds with AnimPlus
There’s no shortage of jailbreak community members who enjoy tweaking the animation speeds of their pwned iPhones and iPads. Fortunately, this remains possible even with iOS & iPadOS 14, which can currently be jailbroken with checkra1n on a small subset of older devices with a compatible SoC (A8-A9X at the time of this writing).
Whether you’re on iOS 13 or even iOS 14, a newly released jailbreak tweak called AnimPlus by iOS developer eXqusic will provide you with all the animation-tweaking capabilities you could ever ask for. Whether you wanted your animations to appear fast and snappy or slow and fluid, this is a tweak that can change the perceivable responsiveness of your handset in an instant.
MagSafe Controller lets jailbreakers customize the MagSafe charging animation
It wasn’t long after Apple began demoing the new MagSafe charging animation for the iPhone 12 & 12 Pro lineups that the jailbreak community began requesting a similar charging animation for their existing iPhones. As a result, two new jailbreak tweaks were released last week to port those features over to various pwned handsets.
But what if you weren’t happy with how the MagSafe charging animation looked out of the box? A week ago, you would have been S.O.L., but thanks to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed MagSafe Controller by iOS developer Tomasz Poliszuk, you can customize various aesthetics of the MagSafe charging animation to suit your personality.

iPAPatcher lets you modify apps before side-loading them, no jailbreak needed
One of the best things about being jailbroken is that you can install jailbreak tweaks to augment your favorite apps’ functionalities, whether they were put there by Apple or installed by you via the App Store. Unfortunately, not everyone is or can be jailbroken, and this offers its own unique set of challenges for those using the latest firmware versions or newer devices that aren’t susceptible to current jailbreaks.
Given the aforementioned circumstances, we think that a newly released macOS app dubbed iPAPatcher by iOS developer Brandon Plank may be of particular interest to those who wish to tweak certain apps even when they don’t have a jailbreak at their disposal.
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: AppButton, Crystal, MagSafe, and more…
It seems like jailbreak tweak development has slowed down recently in anticipation of an iOS & iPadOS 14 jailbreak that extends out to more than just A8 to A9X devices. This is normal after a major software update around this time each year, and we expect that things will bounce back eventually. Fortunately, this gives jailbreak tweak developers more time to become inspired, plan ideas, and lastly, bring them to fruition.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, October 12th to Sunday, October 18th. As always, we’ll start by showcasing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of everything else afterward.
EasyAirplaneDisabler fixes Apple’s antiquated Airplane Mode prompt
As a frequent user of Airplane Mode on my iPhone, I can truthfully say that Apple’s prompt reminding me to disable Airplane Mode before I can access data is a blatant disappointment. With nothing more than a button shortcut to the Settings app and a cancel button to exit the prompt, it makes the process of disabling Airplane Mode rather cumbersome.
Because of this, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called EasyAirplaneDisabler by iOS developer AnthoPak seems like it would be a no-brainer for any Airplane Mode user. As depicted in the screenshot examples above, EasyAirplaneDisabler replaces the Settings app shortcut button on the left side of the native prompt with a literal Turn Off button.
These new tweaks bring Apple’s MagSafe charge animation to jailbroken devices
One of the things that makes the brand new and upcoming iPhone 12 & 12 Pro lineup unique is the addition of support for MagSafe accessories. Apple touts MagSafe for iPhone as a larger version of the Apple Watch charger that attaches magnetically to the rear of the handset and charges the device at up to twice the speed of any Qi-enabled wireless charger. As you might come to expect, MagSafe even includes a charging animation unique to itself, as shown above.
It wasn’t long after the introduction of MagSafe that avid jailbreakers began asking whether it’d be possible to have a similar charging animation on their existing pwned devices… and the short answer would be yes. The longer answer is yes, and that a duo of new and free jailbreak tweaks dubbed Lock Screen Battery – MagSafe by Tomasz Poliszuk and MagSafe by iOS developers Ethan Whited and MTAC are already available and make this possible for various devices.
SilentMaps13 makes Apple Maps navigation less intrusive to music playback
It’s fairly common for drivers to listen to music as they cruise around, and with CarPlay and Bluetooth accessories becoming more popular in modern cars, it becomes more and more likely that drivers will stream their music from their smartphone as opposed to the radio. Another thing drivers often use is their handset’s built-in navigation feature, and unfortunately, directions from the Maps app have a tendency to announce directions at all the worst times…
Enter SilentMaps13, a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Greg0109 that helps prevent the Maps app from announcing directions right as the beat of your favorite song drops. The tweak offers user-configurable alternatives to having Siri’s voice interrupt your track, and it’s sure to offer an augmented user experience when used in a navigation-esque setting while listening to music in the car.
