In case you missed it, @0ptimo has officially implemented SHA256 for the BigBoss repository, paving the way for full Sileo support. CoolStar has announced that an upcoming Sileo update will implement the official BigBoss repository out of the box, but why wait?
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how you can add the official BigBoss repository to your Sileo package manager right now.
In an unexpected turn of events this weekend, @0ptimo added official SHA256 support to the BigBoss repository, a move that looks to appease the Sileo Team as an increasing number of people use the Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak to take advantage of the full-fledged A12(X) support in the here and now.
Sileo Team lead developer CoolStar acknowledged the change just this evening via Twitter, noting that an upcoming update for the Sileo package manager will implement native support for the newly-upgraded BigBoss repository:
InstallProtect12 is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak created by iOS developer Castyte, and we’re particularly excited to show it to you.
While most jailbreak tweaks are somewhat subjective depending on the user, this one seems like a no-brainer for most as it seriously augments the jailbroken handset experience on all fronts. More specifically, it necessitates biometric authentication to manage packages in three of the most popular package management apps, including Cydia, Sileo, and Zebra.
One of the most exciting things you can do with a jailbroken handset to help it stand out from the crowd is customize its aesthetics. There are many ways you can do this, from applying themes to installing tweaks that change system colors and more.
One of the latest releases that can help in this department is a jailbreak tweak called Dapple by iOS developer dpkg_, which lets users colorize their iOS device’s Status Bar on a per-item basis.
Live Photos is one of iOS’ fun and quirky proprietary features that brings many of your photographs and wallpaper backgrounds to life. Unfortunately, Apple limits Live Photos functionality on many of its older handsets, such as the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and SE, to name a few.
If you use any of the aforementioned handsets and you’re bummed about having a gimped Live Photos experience, then you might want to turn your attention to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called LivePhotoForNon3DTouch by iOS developer anima.
In an unexpected turn of events Friday evening, the Sileo Team announced the release of an updated version of the Sileo package manager for the Chimera and Electra jailbreaks. The latest version of Sileo is now v1.1.0.
The Sileo Team announced the news just moments ago via Twitter, denoting what was new in the update and how it would impact users:
Carriers generally dislike Apple's stringent terms of business, but they rarely complain out of fear of losing access to the company's iconic smartphone. And now, a new report citing multiple unknown sources alleges that the Cupertino technology giant strong-armed cable companies into selling more iPads and Apple TVs in return for access to iPhone.
iOS 13 has brought detailed street view imagery to Apple Maps thanks to the company's LiDAR-outfitted vehicles that have been roaming the streets of major cities in the US and around the world for years now, dutifully capturing high resolution street-level imagery.
iOS 13 brings a more advanced Files app for iPhone that lets you access external storage devices, including SD cards and USB flash drives, as well as use file servers, archive and unarchive files, share iCloud folders via a link, manage Safari and Mail downloads, and more.
Apple has replaced the itunes.apple.com URLs when accessing listings from App Store and Mac App Store through a web browser with the new apps.apple.com domain in yet another sign that the iPhone maker is unshackling itself from the past and moving forward.
Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 and iPadOS firmware updates come jam-packed with new features that are certain to have jailbreakers’ mouths watering.
Fortunately, the jailbreak community has a way of porting many of Apple’s latest software features to older versions of iOS such that jailbreakers don’t feel so bad about not upgrading, and a new free jailbreak tweak release called Rishima (BETA) by iOS developer iKilledAppl3 is an excellent example of this.
iOS comes with a native text replacement feature that lets users set shortcuts that will automatically expand to full words or phrases when typed. But wouldn’t it be neat if the same concept applied for images?
I’ve long wondered about this myself, and so I’m excited to share that a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed ImageCorrect by iOS developer Satvik Borra brings this feature to pwned handsets.
