The Electra Team on Friday released updated iterations of the iOS-Centric Chimera jailbreak tool and the tvOS-centric ChimeraTV jailbreak tool, bringing the former up to version 1.2.7 and the latter up to version 1.2.6.

The Electra Team announced the two updates via Twitter early this morning, and from what we can gather, these updates focus primarily on the exploits used by the tools to jailbreak supported handsets:

Like rainbows and hearts? You may also like these Dynamic Wallpapers for jailbroken devices

Your iPhone supports three different types of wallpapers, including still images, Live Photos, and Dynamic Wallpapers. The latter is particularly interesting because it's the closest thing to video wallpapers that Apple has ever provided, but iOS’ native selection of Dynamic Wallpapers out of the box leaves a lot to be desired.

It was only a few weeks ago that we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Dynamic Apples by iOS developer JGeorge, which replaced the stock Dynamic Wallpaper with Apple-esque ones, but if that didn’t do it for you, then perhaps a new free release called Dynamic Rainbow Hearts.

Unc0ver versions 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 released to add iOS 12.3 beta 1 support and improve reliability

We saw an update for the iOS 12-based Chimera jailbreak tool earlier today, and like clockwork, it seems that Pwn20wnd has released a couple of updates for the unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 11 and 12 as well.

Pwn20wnd announced the updates just minutes ago via Twitter, and as it would seem, unc0ver v3.4.2 is now the latest release available to the public. Unc0ver v4.3.2 was released just shortly after v4.3.1:

The Electra Team released an updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool on Thursday, a move that brings the tool up to version 1.2.6.

The Electra Team announced the update just last night via Twitter, noting that it would implement @NedWilliamson’s Sock Puppet 2 exploit for increased exploit reliability on devices running iOS 12.1-12.2:

Pusher streams your iPhone’s push notifications to non-Apple devices

If all your devices – mobile and desktop alike – are of the Apple variety, then you’re probably accustomed to receiving push notifications from your apps on every one of your devices. On the other hand, this won’t necessarily be the case if you have, say, an Apple iPhone, an Android tablet, and a Windows computer.

Pusher is a newly-released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Noah Saso that aims to help unify your push notification experience across all your devices, and astonishingly, this still applies even if your devices aren’t all manufactured by Apple.

Love Minecraft? This tweak makes your iPhone’s Settings app look more like the game

If you’re a huge Minecraft fanatic, then McSettings is a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer kushy that you won’t want to miss.

As you might’ve noticed already from the screenshot example provided above, McSettings themes iOS’ Settings app to look and feel like some of the textured resources that appear in the eccentrically popular Minecraft game by game publisher Mojang.
