Jailbreak Tweaks to check out

Things have been getting more intense for the jailbreak community lately, not only due to of the surge in jailbreak tweak development but also because of the completion of the Meridian jailbreak for all 64-bit iOS 10 devices.

This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks that have been launched in Cydia from August 13th until August 19th. As usual, we’ll begin by talking about our favorites, and then we’ll wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.

Mapsic incorporates music controls into Apple and Google Maps

Hot off the heels of Cydia’s latest repository refresh is a new jailbreak tweak called Mapsic by iOS developer Antique, which incorporates an elaborate music player experience into the Apple and Google Maps apps.

The screenshot examples above depict how Mapsic looks in both apps. In both instances, the music player is both low-key and visually-stunning.

Avertas reincarnates Auxo’s popular multitasking gestures on iOS 11

Auxo was one of the most popular multitasking tweaks ever made, and while most people enjoyed it because of the redesigned App Switcher, the tweak was also renowned for its intuitive multitasking gestures like Hot Corners and the Quick Switcher.

Auxo hasn’t been updated with iOS 11 support and it probably never will be. But that doesn’t mean you have to live without its award-winning multitasking gestures. A new free jailbreak tweak called Avertas by iOS developer kunderscore is now available that ports these features to jailbroken iOS 11 devices.

EinsteinVibes brings haptic feedback to iOS’ Calculator app

There've been a lot of haptic feedback-based jailbreak tweaks released in my day, but EinsteinVibes by iOS developer LacertosusDeus is one of the first I’ve seen that brings haptic feedback to the stock Calculator app in iOS.

EinstienVibes harnesses the power of Apple’s Taptic Engine to provide Calculator app users with a subtle vibration each time they tap on any of the app’s buttons.
