Sileo Team launches Sileo v1.2.9 beta 1 for testing

While it’s not uncommon for the Sileo Team to release an updated Sileo package manager every now and again, the team deviated from their traditional release cycle on Friday by launching a ‘Sileo Beta’ that can be deployed alongside the stable Sileo installation.

The Sileo Team announced the news early this morning via Twitter, noting that Sileo v1.2.9 beta 1 would be available from the default Chimera/Electra repositories on their respective jailbreaks:

Retro review: Doodle Jump

If you're an iPhone veteran, then you might remember Doodle Jump, one of the biggest hits on the App Store. It was simple, addictive, and everyone wanted to play it. This game showed the world what mobile gaming was capable of. It was so popular, it was selling 300,000 copies a month. And all that just with the help of a green doodle monster jumping around trying to get as high as possible.

Fast forward 10 years later. With millions of copies sold, you can find Doodle Jump on almost every platform. However, this brings the question, has the game aged well? With so many different kinds of addictive games available, does Doodle Jump still deserve a place on your device? Or is it better to just remember it as a classic mobile game? Well, that's what we're going to discuss here as we go back in time and review Doodle Jump.

This tweak adds audio balance controls to Control Center

You can easily fine-tune your handset’s volume level with the Control Center-centric volume scrubber, but have you ever wished that you could have easier control over your handset’s audio balance from the same place?

If you answered yes to that question, then you’ll absolutely love a free jailbreak tweak dubbed CCAudioBalance by iOS developer shiftcmdk, because this tweak adds a full-featured audio balance adjustment tool to Control Center’s full-screen volume scrubber interface, as shown above.

Pin your favorite preference cells to the top of the Settings app with StickAround

If you’re anything like me, then you probably use certain things in the Settings app more than others. Unfortunately, iOS doesn’t make it any easier to get to those things, regardless of how often you use them.

Here to change that about iOS’ Settings app is a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called StickAround by iOS developer Squ1dd13. With this tweak, you can pin your favorite preference panes to the top of the Settings app, making it significantly easier to get to the things that matter to you the most.

CustomSiriBG lets you change the Siri interface background

If you’re interested in changing the default background of the Siri interface to something new, then you just might want to check out a newly-released and free-to-download jailbreak tweak dubbed CustomSiriBG by iOS developer TylerD3V.

In the screenshot example above, you’ll notice that the default Siri background has been changed to something more Pokémon-centric, and of course, you can always use something different if Pokémon isn’t your thing.

Apple no longer signing iOS 12.3-12.3.2, hindering downgrades from iOS 12.4

Apple is no longer signing iOS 12.3, 12.3.1, or 12.3.2 for its mobile device lineup as of Wednesday evening, a move that prevents users from restoring to any firmware version older than iOS 12.4, which was released to the general public just last Monday.

It’s not uncommon for Apple to stop signing older versions of iOS, especially a week or two after releasing a new update, but it’s particularly noteworthy that Apple stopped signing at least three iterations of iOS in one fell swoop this week, which doesn’t happen too often.
