Jailbreak tweaks of the week: AutoUnlockX, NoSimAlert, Zenith, and more

Jailbreak Tweaks to check out

With Pwn20wnd actively updating the unc0ver jailbreak tool again this week, it’s clear that the community’s needs are not being ignored. That said, jailbreak tweak developers have launched a bevy of captivating releases this week, and we’re about to share those with you.

This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks we've shown you this week, starting Monday, December 3rd to Sunday, December 9th.

Unc0ver Jailbreak Resources package updated to version 0.11 to fix jailed state bug

If you’re using Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak on your iOS 11 handset, then it would be in your best interest to launch Cydia and refresh your sources at your earliest convenience.

As it would seem, the Unc0ver Jailbreak Resources package by iOS developer Sam Binger has been updated to version 0.11 on Friday with a critical bug fix. Pwn20wnd announced the update on Twitter Friday afternoon:

Linus Henze releases Safari-centric exploit targeting iOS 12.1 and earlier

Matrix code hacked iPhone.

It was only a few days ago that we learned about a sandbox escape PoC for iOS 12.0-12.0.1, and while it was just a proof of concept, there’s always the potential that a talented hacker could make use of it for future endeavors; perhaps even jailbreak development.

Fortunately, that’s not the only iOS 12-centric vulnerability floating around in the wild these days. As it would seem, a Safari-based exploit targeting iOS 12.1 and below (and macOS 10.14.1 and below) was also released this week by iOS tinkerer Linus Henze.

The best teleprompter apps for iPhone and iPad

Best Teleprompter Apps for iPhone iPad

If you’re ready to move away from physical notes and index cards for your presentations or videos, then it’s probably time for a teleprompter app. With a convenient app, you can always have your notes with you, adjust the settings to fit your needs, and never lose your notes for those repeat presentations.

To lend you a hand in finding the tool that works for you, we’ve created this roundup of the best teleprompter apps for iPhone and iPad.

Pwn20wnd drops unc0ver v2.0.2 pre-release with revoke prevention, faster jailbreaking, & bug fixes

Hacker Pwn20wnd began the pre-release train at the end of November with unc0ver v2.0.0, but public testing quickly died down after a few iterations helped squash bugs. Consequently, unc0ver v2.0.1 was released mere days ago to bring the tool out of its ‘pre-release’ stages.

As of Thursday, however, Pwn20wnd launched another unc0ver pre-release for public testing; this time with the version number 2.0.2. Pwn20wnd made an official announcement about the new pre-release this afternoon via his Twitter account:

NoSimAlert hides those annoying ‘No SIM Card Installed’ alerts

If you’ve got a stack of old, deactivated iPhones laying around without SIM cards like I do, then you’ve probably become very familiar with iOS’ inherently annoying ‘No SIM’ alerts. Not only does iOS display “No SIM” in the Status Bar, but it feels the need to display Lock screen banners and pop-up alerts to remind you of the obvious not just twice, but three times in a row.

As a jailbreak enthusiast and jailbreak tweak reviewer, I use deactivated and SIM-less iPhones all the time, and I’ve come to loathe these No SIM alerts. Fortunately, a jailbreak tweak called NoSimAlert by iOS developer SparkDev can help tremendously in this department.

Melior is the volume HUD Apple should add to future iterations of iOS

Repeating the sad story about how iOS’ volume HUD leaves a lot to be desired feels a lot like beating a dead horse. You’d think Apple would have done something about this concern by now, but as always, it’s the jailbreak community that offers the fastest refuge.

Melior is a volume HUD-centric jailbreak tweak coded by iOS developer SparkDev and designed by Dennis Bednarz that produces one of the cleanest alternatives to iOS’ terrible volume HUD that we’ve seen.
