The Sileo Team has been somewhat busy this past week, cranking out regular updates for the Sileo package manager, which handles add-on and extension installations by default on jailbreaks created by the Electra Team, including Chimera and Electra.
As it would seem, this weekend is no different. The Sileo Team announced the release of Sileo version 1.1.4 early Saturday morning via Twitter:

As we previously reported, Apple is on the hook for missing contractual purchasing obligations concerning Samsung-built OLED display panels bound for iPhones. According to Samsung's earrings guidance released Friday, the Galaxy maker has actually received a cool $638 million from the Cupertino firm during the June quarter after Apple couldn't fulfill its previously agreed-upon purchasing order volume and no middle ground could be found.

One thing I’ve long wanted from iOS, but still don’t have to this very day, is a fully-integrated Lock screen experience, complete with notifications, weather information, and widgets in addition to the expected date and time indicator.
While the Today page is a compromising feature on Apple’s behalf, it still doesn’t provide that unified experience I’ve wanted for so long. Fortunately, a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Manta by iOS developer Ben Giannis addresses my complaints with the stock iOS Lock screen, and it does so in an incredibly pleasant manner.
If you’re in the market to add a bit of quirkiness to your iOS device’s Home screen, then you might want to look into a new jailbreak tweak called Luminous by iOS developer Sirius24.
As you’ll notice in the screenshot examples above, Luminous gives every one of your Home screen’s app icons a colored underglow. But perhaps more importantly, the tweak is fully-configurable, allowing just about anyone to achieve the look and feel that they’re aiming for.
Whatever sport you love, baseball, football, soccer, there’s likely an app for that. You can even find some apps specific to your favorite teams, leagues, and tournaments. But if you enjoy all sports and want a quick and easy way to check a game score on your break at work or while waiting for a cab, these are the best iPhone apps for sports scores.
One enthusiast has so far been able to connect an Iomega Zip drive and even an Amazon Kindle to his iPhone running iOS 13 and access them through the much-improved Files app. But how about connecting some really old stuff to an iPhone or iPad, like a floppy drive?

For the fastest way to loan money to a friend or pay them back after borrowing some yourself, you can use Apple Cash, formerly named Apple Pay Cash. Once you set it up, you can send money to your contacts or request money from them via the Messages app. The service has been around for a while, but there are still many who haven’t taken it for a spin yet.
If you fall into this category, this tutorial shows you how to set up and send money with Apple Cash.
A native dark mode experience is one of the most sought-after features that Apple will include in its upcoming iOS 13 and iPadOS software updates poised to release this Fall, but in addition to that, we’re also particularly fond of the long-overdue volume HUD upgrade that will also come standard with these updates.
If you’re jailbroken and unable to update to iOS 13 or iPadOS when these software updates launch later this year, then you might want to try a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called 13HUD by iOS developer Muirey03. With it, you can experience the iOS 13-style volume HUD on pwned iOS 11 and 12 devices.
The Electra Team released an updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool on Tuesday, not long after the Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager. Chimera v1.0.9 is now the latest version of the jailbreak tool available.
