Unofficial palera1n GUI based on latest version released amid continued wait for official GUI
While the palera1n jailbreak has proven to be resilient for arm64 (A11 and older) devices due to being based on a bootrom hardware-based exploit called checkm8 that can’t be patched by Apple with a mere software update, the fact remains that a lot of people are turned off by it being a command line-based jailbreak tool as opposed to offering an easy click-based graphical user interface (GUI) like checkra1n once did.

FrontboardAppLauncher project brings us one step closer to windowed multitasking on TrollStore devices
While TrollStore is most commonly known as a perma-signing utility that allows for the permanent installation of sideloadable apps via a CoreTrust exploit, a lesser-known fact is that TrollStore’s powerful CoreTrust exploit offers elevated privileges for your iPhone or iPad’s system.
