Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd dropped a significant update for his jailbreak tool on Saturday with an extensive list of changes that purportedly “fixes all known stability issues” on jailbroken installations of iOS 11.0-12.1.2.
Pwn20wnd announced the updated version of the jailbreak tool, dubbed unc0ver v3.0.0 beta 49, via Twitter earlier in the day:
The alarm feature found in your iPhone’s native Clock app is particularly useful when you need to wake up at a specific time every morning, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to say that Apple could make iOS’ alarm interface a bit more intuitive.
iOS developer Joshua Seltzer recognized some of the inadequacies that are present in the iPhone’s native alarm interface, and to help combat those shortcomings, has just released a new jailbreak tweak called Sleeper in Cydia.
Apple may have officially canceled its AirPower concept due to manufacturing difficulties, but that doesn’t mean that jailbreakers can’t enjoy an AirPower-like experience when charging their multitude of Apple devices.
iOS developer LaughingQuoll has released Maple, a new jailbreak tweak that displays all actively-charging devices connected to your handset as individual AirPower-style banners on the Lock screen.
The Sileo Team on Friday pushed another update to the Sileo beta preview, bringing the pre-release package manager and Cydia alternative’s version number up to 0.8b8 from the previous version 0.8b4.
A Tweet shared by the Sileo Team just this morning describes what’s new in the update:
While perusing the Changes tab in Cydia this week, I happened upon a particularly interesting new jailbreak tweak called Textyle by iOS developer Deniz Basegmez. Upon closer inspection, it looks like something that large sum of jailbreakers might want to try for themselves.
As shown in the screenshot example above, Textyle integrates with iOS’ native Action Menu interface, which materializes after selecting any string of text. When it appears, you can modify the selected text’s aesthetics with different types of Unicode-based fonts and styles.
Unless you live in silent mode all day, you should already know that your iPhone makes all sorts of different sounds as you perform certain actions like unlocking the device and typing on your keyboard. But don’t you ever wish you could customize those sounds to your liking?
With a new free jailbreak tweak called Roxanne by iOS developer iKilledAppl3, you can. This tweak brings a slew of options to the table for customizing the sounds of locking, unlocking, entering your passcode, typing, and opening/closing Home screen folders.
Your iPhone is more than a phone – it’s also a powerful point-and-shoot camera that comes out of the box with a ‘Burst Mode’ built-in that can capture a multitude of photographs in rapid succession.
Burst Mode can be incredibly useful, except when it’s not, and if you happen to find yourself accidentally burst-shooting your camera shutter more often than you’d like, then you may take a liking to a new free jailbreak tweak called NoBurst by iOS developer iCraze.
Apple on Thursday stopped signing iOS 12.1.4 for its mobile devices, a move on the Cupertino-based company’s part that prevents users from using iTunes to downgrade their firmware to any version below iOS 12.2.
Apple just released iOS 12.2 to the public last Monday, and so the decision to stop signing iOS 12.1.4 today is somewhat abrupt, even to Apple’s standards. The last time Apple stopped signing an older version of iOS, the window remained open for several weeks before Apple flipped their magical anti-downgrade switch.
Whether you’re taking a trip abroad or need to know the exchange rate for business, a currency converter for your iOS device can come in super handy.
To help you out on your search, we’ve scoured the App Store for the best currency converter apps for iPhone and iPad that don’t cost a dime, peso, or euro.
Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool supports all iOS versions from iOS 11.0-12.1.2 and most iOS devices in between, but it only partially supports A12(X) devices at the time of this writing because of reasons that we outlined in a piece published earlier this week.
Two of the most significant roadblocks that have prevented a full-fledged A12(X) jailbreak from surfacing are that Cydia Substrate needs to be updated with compatibility for these devices and that Pwn20wnd still needed to update Unrestrict library for sandbox patches on arm64e devices. Fortunately, the latter is no longer a problem as of today.
At least one of the three new iPhones allegedly coming later in 2019 is expected to feature three rear cameras, and now a photo uploaded this morning to Chinese social network Weibo suggests that three rear lenses will be arranged in a triangular configuration.
If you’re in possession of a jailbroken iPhone and you also have a pair of AirPods that are securely encased in one of Nomad’s luxury Horween leather cases, then this is your lucky week!
iOS developer sirhamsalot has just released a fun and quirky new jailbreak tweak called NomadPods that replaces the standard AirPods case icon in the AirPods Bluetooth HUD and in the Battery widget with something that more closely depicts Nomad’s Horween leather AirPods case instead.
