Jailbreak tweaks of the week: AwesomePageDots, QuickCC, StickAround, and more
It's been a crazy a week with all these jailbreak tool updates and what not, but if you've been keeping up with it all and you're interested in tweaking your pwned handset, then you're in the right place.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, July 29th to Sunday, August 4th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up with an outline of the rest afterward.
This tweak makes Control Center’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles more interactive
The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles that Apple tucks away inside of Control Center can be useful at times, but they lack the level of interactivity that I’d expect from 21st Century software. Apple’s iOS 13 update this Fall will change this by letting users interact with nearby Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices directly from Control Center, but those running iOS 12 or earlier aren’t so lucky.
Enter QuickCC, a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer ichitaso that brings this iOS 13-centric functionality to pwned iOS 11 and 12 devices for users who demand more from their software.
Customize the sound and appearance of your iPhone’s keyboard with CuKey
The keyboard is something that most iPhone and iPad users will interact with on a daily basis, and with that in mind, it makes sense that some users might want to make it theirs.
If you agree with the idea above, then you’ll likely come to appreciate a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called CuKey by iOS developer DevelopApple. This tweak lets you customize a variety of keyboard-centric attributes, such as its appearance and sound, among other things.
Vinculum brings a Nexus-inspired app drawer to your jailbroken iPhone
If you’re any bit familiar with the Google Nexus 7.0 Nougat app drawer, then it might’ve crossed your mind once or twice about what it might like to have a similar experience on the iOS platform.
If you’re keen about the idea thus far, then you’ll definitely want to try a refreshed jailbreak tweak dubbed Vinculum by iOS developer William Vabrinskas. As you’ll see in the screenshot examples above, this tweak brings app drawer-like functionality to your pwned iPhone or iPad.

Sileo Team launches Sileo v1.2.9 beta 1 for testing
While it’s not uncommon for the Sileo Team to release an updated Sileo package manager every now and again, the team deviated from their traditional release cycle on Friday by launching a ‘Sileo Beta’ that can be deployed alongside the stable Sileo installation.
The Sileo Team announced the news early this morning via Twitter, noting that Sileo v1.2.9 beta 1 would be available from the default Chimera/Electra repositories on their respective jailbreaks:
Retro review: Doodle Jump
If you're an iPhone veteran, then you might remember Doodle Jump, one of the biggest hits on the App Store. It was simple, addictive, and everyone wanted to play it. This game showed the world what mobile gaming was capable of. It was so popular, it was selling 300,000 copies a month. And all that just with the help of a green doodle monster jumping around trying to get as high as possible.
Fast forward 10 years later. With millions of copies sold, you can find Doodle Jump on almost every platform. However, this brings the question, has the game aged well? With so many different kinds of addictive games available, does Doodle Jump still deserve a place on your device? Or is it better to just remember it as a classic mobile game? Well, that's what we're going to discuss here as we go back in time and review Doodle Jump.
