Pwn20wnd revises the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release with additional bug fixes
Hot off the heels of three Cydia Substrate updates released by Saurik throughout the night, the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release received two new revisions on Monday. These are the tenth and eleventh revisions to this particular pre-release version since Pwn20wnd released it for public testing more than two weeks ago.
Citing the changelog published on Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository, the two new unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release revisions encompass the changes outlined below:
NextUp tells you what song is coming up next in iOS’ Now Playing interface
Apple designed iOS’ Now Playing interface to display relevant information about the music you listen to at any given time, such as the album artwork, artist name, and song title, but it also provides you with useful music controls in a pinch.
But one place where the Now Playing interface falls short is in summarizing what you can expect next in your music playlist, and that’s where a new jailbreak tweak called NextUp by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson comes into play.

Just yesterday, hacker Pwn20wnd updated the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release with a bevy of bug fixes and stability improvements for public testers; but as it would seem, he wasn’t finished fine-tuning the jailbreak tool just yet.
At least three more revisions to the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release have been published to Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository since we ran our story Saturday afternoon. Citing the changelog, the updates encompass these changes:
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: HUE2, Night Maps, and more
It’s been a big week for the jailbreak community. Not only was the Electra jailbreak updated for the first time since the Summer months, but the first public beta of the Sileo package manager was also released, which aims to compete directly with Cydia.
Regardless of whether you prefer Cydia or Sileo for your jailbroken handset, you’re probably wondering how you can make the best of your pwned iOS 11 device. Fortunately, this roundup will discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, December 24th to Sunday, December 30th.
More updates to the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release incorporate new features and fix several bugs
It’s been two weeks since hacker Pwn20wnd launched the initial unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release for public testing, and we’ve seen a bevy of revisions to the pre-release since then. Just this week, the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release received two additional updates to fortify the jailbreak tool even further.
Citing the changelog published on Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository, the two new unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release revisions encompass the changes outlined below:

Saurik updates Cydia Substrate in response to ‘freezing’ and ‘respring loop’ reports
Saurik (Jay Freeman) launched an official iOS 11-centric update for Cydia Substrate less than two weeks ago, but it wasn’t long after installing it that some jailbreakers started reporting arbitrary freezes and problems with specific jailbreak tweaks. Flustered jailbreakers took to a support page on GitHub, where Saurik said that he successfully reproduced the bug and was looking into a fix.
If you were one of many affected by these bugs, then you’ll be excited to learn that Saurik pushed two consecutive updates to Cydia Substrate – the first (version 0.9.7010 came late Friday night, while the second (version 0.9.7011) came early Saturday morning. Naturally, the latter encompasses the latest fixes.
Night Maps brings a universal Dark Mode experience to various mapview-supported apps
Dark Mode-centric jailbreak tweaks have become quite the hot commodity as of late, but many lack support for the different types of mapviews used in the bevy of map and navigation apps available for download in the App Store.
Enter Night Maps, a new jailbreak tweak by iOS developer FoxFortMobile that fills this particular niche. As shown above, Night Maps brings a universal Dark Mode experience to the mapview of almost any map or navigation app you might use on your iPhone or iPad.
