Volify adds a volume slider to Spotify’s Now Playing interface

Spotify is a wonderful alternative to Apple Music on Apple’s mobile device lineup, but the app’s third-party Now Playing interface is missing an obvious element that I would’ve expected most music players to incorporate: a simple volume level slider.

If you’re jailbroken and you’d like to add a volume level slider to your Spotify app’s Now Playing interface, then we invite you to try out a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Volify by iOS developer ginsu.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: BigSurCenter, SafariBlocker, Yuna, & more…

With everything that has been happening in the jailbreak community recently, we’d understand if you’re having trouble keeping up. That’s why we create these weekly easy-to-digest roundups, since we want all jailbreakers to know about the latest developments and tweak releases as they happen.

In this roundup, we’ll discuss the latest jailbreak tweak releases and news from this past week, spanning Monday, March 22nd to Sunday, March 28th. We’ll kick things off by going over our favorite releases in detail and then wrap things up with an outline of everything else at the end.

MusicLyricsShare lets jailbreakers tap and hold on Apple Music lyrics to share them

There are two types of people in this world: 1) those who listen to music because it sounds good; and 2) those who listen to music to hear and follow along with the lyrics. If the latter camp sounds like you, then chances are you might have a sudden urge to share said music lyrics from time to time.

MusicLyricsShare is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer ETHN that streamlines this process in Apple’s Music app by letting users tap and hold on the individual lyric blocks that appear when a song streams via Apple Music.

WaveAway provides modest iOS customization without the price tag

Whether you’re new to jailbreaking or merely looking for a quick and easy way to personalize various parts of the iOS user interface without investing money, WaveAway is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Sangster that might be of interest.

WaveAway is best described as a free all-in-one jailbreak tweak that provides a myriad of different options for customizing your handset’s mobile operating system. It’s not quite as in-depth as many of the paid all-in-ones out there, such as Springtomize, but as a free release, it’s definitely worth checking out.

IPCarrier replaces the Status Bar’s carrier text with your IP Address

Intermediate and advanced jailbreakers often do more with their devices than merely download and install jailbreak tweaks — many will SSH into their devices to carry out deeper device customization in the file system itself.

SSH connections require knowledge of the handset’s local IP address, which can be found in the Wi-Fi preference pane in the Settings app. But those who use SSH often, especially on networks besides their own, might be interested in a faster way to access their handset’s local IP address, and we have the solution.

This tweak enables the numeric battery percent in the Status Bar for notched iOS 14 devices

A popular feature that is noticeably missing from notched iPhones that continues to exist on older Home Button-equipped handsets is the Battery Percent display for the Status Bar’s battery level indicator.

For whatever reason, Apple thought it would be a good idea to remove this feature entirely while continuing to harbor assets in the mobile operating system for an upgraded and better looking Battery Percent display on such devices.
