Jailbreak tweaks of the week: AirPort, HideYourApps, Springtomize 4, and more

We’ve witnessed an unprecedented number of high-quality jailbreak tweak releases in the last several weeks, and for that reason, we like to cap off each weekend with a roundup to ensure that you don’t miss anything good.

In this roundup, we’ll showcase all the most notable jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, May 12thto Sunday, May 19th. As usual, we’ll discuss our favorite releases first and then outline the rest afterward.

Make certain aspects of iOS look a lot nicer with Modernize

Apple works hard to make each incremental iOS release look spiffier, but some places that don’t receive as much attention as they should include the native power down menu and volume HUD interfaces, just to name a few.

With a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Modernize by iOS developer tylerd3v, you can change that. Just as the name implies, it can make the aforementioned interfaces more useful and aesthetically pleasing.

Pasithea 2 clipboard manager for jailbroken devices gets powerful new features & support for iOS 14

One of the weakest links in iOS’ native multitasking capabilities is the clipboard management system, and perhaps unsurprisingly, there’ve been a lot of jailbreak tweaks released in recent memory to address this problem, such as CopyLog and Copypasta to name a few.

As for those who favor the classics over newer and more lightweight releases, Pasithea 2 by iOS developer Cannathea can provide a more full-fledged clipboard-access experience, and with native keyboard integration at that.

Springtomize 4 moves to Packix, picks up official support for iOS 11 & 12

Springtomize is a name that veteran jailbreak enthusiasts should be firmly familiar with. Not only is Springtomize one of the most popular all-in-one tweaks ever conceived in the history of the community, but it’s still being maintained to this very day.

iOS developer Janosch Hübner (sharedRoutine) released an updated version of Springtomize 4 in the Packix repository on Friday with full support for iOS 11.0-12.1.2, and as you might come to expect, this update incorporates support for A12(X) handsets.

How to AirPlay or mirror your iPhone or iPad display to an Apple TV

Mirror iPhone to Apple TV

You can easily send your Mac screen to your Apple TV and either mirror it or use it as a second display. So, if you want to show something you have on your iPhone or iPad up on your Apple TV, this is just as simple.

You can use AirPlay if you have a video on your iPhone you want to show everyone in the room. And if you want to see a bigger picture of something on your device and interact with it, you can use Screen Mirroring.

Here’s how to both AirPlay and mirror your iPhone or iPad display to Apple TV.

Concept: a notch-less iPhone with a hole punch display and a minimal camera bump

Apple is expected to release the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR successors in the fall and much of the debate has thus far focused on that massive rectangular-shaped camera bump that we saw on CAD renderings. One designer has put together some cool mockups imagining the next iPhone with a minimal camera bump and a notch-less appearance thanks to a hole-punch display like we saw on the Galaxy S10 range.

Pwn20wnd teases substantial speed and stability improvements in upcoming unc0ver update

Those who’ve been closely subscribed to the jailbreak scene as of late might’ve noticed the sudden stereo silence from team unc0ver following the release of the Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak for iOS 12.0-12.1.2, but don’t be fooled. Pwn20wnd still works on the unc0ver jailbreak to this day, but he doesn’t push updates as incrementally as before.

In a Tweet shared just this morning, Pwn20wnd said he’s been working on significant updates for both the unc0ver jailbreak tool and Cydia itself. Specific details regarding those updates aren’t yet known, but we do know that they should make things discernably faster and improve system stability:
