Sileo updated with support for editorials, more Swift-driven UI

In a brand-new update for the Sileo package manager Sunday evening, the Sileo Team incorporated support for built-in editorials so that avid jailbreakers who are interested in reading about jailbreak-centric news can now do so in addition to installing their favorite packages.

According to the official Tweet shared just minutes ago via the Sileo Team Twitter page, the team notes that editorials will appear for users under the ‘New’ tab in the app, integrating with an existing list of newly released packages and package updates:

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: BetterQueuing, MessageUnread, and more…

There sure have been some spicy jailbreak tweak releases lately, and that's one reason why we're all fired up about showing you the latest and greatest ways to modify your pwned iPhone or iPad.

In this roundup, we'll show you all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, May 11th to Sunday, May 17th. As usual, we'll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.

Calendate replaces the Calendar app icon’s label with the current month

Apple designed iOS’ Calendar app to present the current date as a large number on the Home Screen icon itself. I have just one gripe though – most traditional calendars also display the current month somewhere, but Apple’s dynamic Calendar app icon doesn’t seem to follow this tradition.

If you’re interested in aligning your iOS Calendar app icon experience with the traditional paper calendar experience, then you’re certain to appreciate a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Calendate by iOS developer ArtikusHG.

Chapters lets iPhone users name individual Home Screen pages

The iPhone’s Home Screen has always been somewhat bland. The introduction of folders in iOS 4 brought with it a new dimension of app icon organization, but even to this day, I still find myself asking for more on my iOS 13 devices.

If you’re on the same page as me and looking for an interesting new way to organize your Home Screen’s app icons, then we think you’ll enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Chapters by iOS developer Kritanta. Simply put, this tweak lets users label each one of their Home screen’s pages.

Accessory Spotlight: Satechi Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter V2

Welcome to Accessory Spotlight, a weekly column where we highlight an accessory that we find to be incredibly useful, a fantastic value, or both. This week we’ve selected Satechi's Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter V2. There are obviously dozens of USB-C hubs out there, but we like this one for its build quality and wide variety of ports.

How to save photos, videos and scans taken in Notes to Photos on iOS

Settings Notes iPhone Table

If you use the Notes app on your iPhone or iPad for not just note-taking but capturing photos, videos, and scans to reference within your notes, you can also save those items to your Photos app.

This means that if you want to use that capture for something else, you can find it easily in Photos rather than opening the Notes app for it. Maybe you thought this was happening all along, only to discover recently that it’s not.

Here’s how to automatically save photos, videos, and scans taken in Notes to Photos on iPhone and iPad.

Concept: iPad Air with under-glass Touch ID

Apple is rumored to be working on a fourth-generation iPad Air tablet featuring an in-screen Touch ID fingerprint reader that should release sometime later this year. 3D designer Robert Hallon from Slovakia has now imagined what such a product might look like.

ColorMyHome lets jailbreakers add a fresh coat of paint to the Home Bar

If you have an iPhone newer than the iPhone X, except for a few select budget handsets, then you probably have a Home Bar instead of a Home Button. Apple designed it to be omnifunctional, providing users with a means of getting to the App Switcher, Home Screen, and navigating between recently used apps; but one thing they seem to have forgotten is customization.

Fortunately, jailbreakers don’t need to put up with a bland Home Bar experience. That’s because a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called ColorMyHome by iOS developer TheLazyITGuy enables Home Bar colorization on liberated handsets.

BetterQueuing unlocks powerful music-queuing features in Apple Music

If you use Apple Music as your primary means of media consumption, then you might find yourself somewhat limited by the options presented when you perform a Haptic Touch gesture on songs in a particular playlist, especially in the song-queuing department.

BetterQueuing is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Arandomdev1 that brings improved song-queuing capabilities to this particular interface, and as shown in the screenshot examples above, it provides users with a myriad of new ways to interact with their queued playlists with little effort overall.
