A rootfs remount is being released for iOS 12, raising hope for a normal iOS 12 jailbreak with Cydia

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 9, 2019

Avid jailbreakers who are on iOS 12.0-12.1.2 currently have one of two options: 1) use rootlessJB 3.0, a developer-centric, SSH-based rootless jailbreak without Cydia; or 2) wait for a full-featured jailbreak solution with Cydia (like Electra or unc0ver) to surface. Fortunately, those who are stuck in the latter boat could be one step closer to jailbreaking as of this weekend.

Hackers @MiscMisty and @Lakr223 took to Twitter early Saturday morning to display a proof of concept of a working iOS 12.x-oriented rootfs remount. But perhaps more importantly, they noted how they would be releasing it very shortly.

Siliqua 2 lets you customize your AirPods’ gesture system

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 9, 2019

A set of AirPods can go a long way when you’re listening to music or watching a movie from your iPhone or iPad, but could Apple’s flagship wireless earbuds be improved with user-configurable software? If you answered yes to that question and you have a jailbroken handset, then you’re in for a treat.

Developer LaughingQuoll has just released Siliqua 2, the successor of a popular jailbreak tweak called Siliqua that launched just under two years ago. With Siliqua 2, you can customize your AirPods’ gesture system, which empowers you with additional control over your media playback directly from the peripheral.

Colorize the Twitter app however you like with TwitterDarkMode

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 9, 2019

Twitter’s official app supports a feature called Night Mode that can give the app a dark-colored makeover on demand; but compared to some other apps, this ‘dark mode’-esque feature leaves a lot to be desired.

Fortunately, iOS developer Chloeeisoaky recognized these shortcomings and responded to them with the release of a new free jailbreak tweak called TwitterDarkMode.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 8, 2019

You can change the resolution of your computer monitor on demand, so why shouldn’t the same logic apply to the display on your smartphone?

It seems like a ridiculous limitation, and if you were thinking along the same lines, then you might enjoy a free jailbreak tweak called Upscale by iOS developers bd452 and Julio Verne.

Cr4shed: A new tweak that can assist in troubleshooting various types of crashes

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 8, 2019

Veteran jailbreakers should be more than familiar with the ever-so-popular CrashReporter app from Cydia. It works as a virtual diagnostic tool to help you discern the reasoning behind certain crashes; especially those concerning apps, jailbreak tweaks, and the SpringBoard itself.

As useful as CrashReporter is, it’s not always easy to understand, and that’s why iOS developer Muirey03 has released a new free jailbreak tweak called Cr4shed.
