Pwn20wnd teases substantial speed and stability improvements in upcoming unc0ver update
Those who’ve been closely subscribed to the jailbreak scene as of late might’ve noticed the sudden stereo silence from team unc0ver following the release of the Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak for iOS 12.0-12.1.2, but don’t be fooled. Pwn20wnd still works on the unc0ver jailbreak to this day, but he doesn’t push updates as incrementally as before.
In a Tweet shared just this morning, Pwn20wnd said he’s been working on significant updates for both the unc0ver jailbreak tool and Cydia itself. Specific details regarding those updates aren’t yet known, but we do know that they should make things discernably faster and improve system stability:

Give your Home screen’s app icon labels a makeover with LabelChanger
One of the things you interact with every day when using your iPhone or iPad is its Home screen, so wouldn’t it be nice if you could customize more about it than just the wallpaper?
If you agree with the notion above, then you just might take a liking to a newly-released free jailbreak tweak dubbed LabelChangerby iOS developer Dave van Wijk.
This tweak enables Apple’s native pairing UI for the new AirPods on pre-iOS 12.2 devices
If you’re trying to use a pair of second-generation AirPods with an iOS handset running any firmware below iOS 12.2, then you’re likely all too familiar with the ‘limited’ functionality that ensues. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way, especially for jailbreakers.
AirPort is a newly-released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Boo that makes second-generation AirPods behave more like the original AirPods on pre-iOS 12.2 firmware. More specifically, it ensures that the beautiful pairing UI appears when you open your AirPods in the proximity of your handset and displays the proper AirPods-style glyphs in the Battery widget on the Today page.

BrowserDefault lets you change the default web browser on your iPhone
Some people love iOS’ Safari web browser, but if you’re the type of person who would rather use a third-party alternative like Chrome or Firefox, then you might be disappointed to learn that Apple doesn’t let you configure a default web browser apart from Safari. On the other hand, those with jailbroken handsets can have their cake and eat it too.
With the help of a new jailbreak tweak called BrowserDefault by iOS developer lpane, you can choose the default web browser apart from Safari that your handset will use to launch web links when tapped.
Customize your Lock screen text’s aesthetics with Fabric
One of the best ways to show your jailbroken device off to the rest of the world is to customize how it looks, and a newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed Fabric by iOS developer CreatureSurvive will help you do just that.
As you might’ve noticed in the screenshot examples above, Fabric lets you get creative with the text strings that appear on your Lock screen; this includes, but isn’t limited to, the date and time. Not only can you change how large the text is, but you can choose custom fonts and formatting, among other things.
This tweak can hide apps from your Home screen
If you have a lot of apps on your Home screen that you don’t use as often as others, then you aren’t alone. The most common solution to this matter is to cram those apps into a folder; but if you’re OCD like I am, then you may not want to look at an unwanted folder icon either.
Here to help with this dilemma is a newly-released jailbreak tweak called HideYourApps by iOS developer Menushka Weeratunga. With this tweak, you can hide specified apps from your Home screen, eliminating the need to make an unwanted folder to house them.
RotaryPass brings a rotary-style passcode entry interface to iOS
For years, the iPhone’s passcode interface has appeared as a traditional number pad. But if you’re looking for something a bit more exotic that will help your handset stand out from the crowd, then you just might come to appreciate a newly-released jailbreak tweak called RotaryPass by Geometric Software.
As you can discern for yourself in the screenshot examples above, RotaryPass brings an entirely new passcode entry interface to your iPhone – more specifically, one that’s based on those antiquated rotary-style telephones that were commonplace before the 21stcentury.
BTPower puts a battery level icon in the Status Bar for any connected Bluetooth headset
Some folks have so many Bluetooth peripherals in their possession that keeping track of their battery levels becomes a daunting task. Apple made things a little bit easier by implementing the Battery widget in the Today view, but if you’re anything like me, then you might find it to be more convenient to see that information directly in the Status Bar.
A number of Bluetooth headsets that I’ve used for phone calls in the past already supported Status Bar-centric battery level displays, but not all. A newly-released free jailbreak tweak called BTPower by iOS developer Karimo299 ensures that all your Bluetooth headsets exhibit this behavior for simplified battery level tracking.
