Erie adds haptic feedback to your iPhone’s button presses

One of the things we see a lot of in the jailbreak community are tweaks that bring haptic feedback to the iPhone, and a new free release called Erie by iOS developer Sniper_GER follows in these footsteps.

This tweak lets you spoof your Status Bar’s carrier and signal information

When I first started jailbreaking many years ago, it seemed like tweaks for modifying the carrier details in the Status Bar were a hot commodity. Given just how much times have changed, you really don’t see tweaks like the classics anymore.

The new Signal jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Sniper_GER is a blast from the past, as it lets you spoof the Status Bar’s cellular information on any jailbroken device whether you have service or not.

Apple secures patent for foldable phone

This tweak disables the bothersome screenshot banners in several apps

A developing trend inside of App Store apps is to display an in-house notification banner anytime you snap a screenshot from within those apps. Although they’re supposed to make sharing things more accessible, some people don’t find the provided sharing options useful.

A whole host of recent jailbreak tweaks responded to these banners in apps like Instagram and Spotify, but a new free release called KillinAppsScreenshot by iOS developer CydiaGeek strives to become the ultimate all-in-one solution to disable these annoying banners in every one of your apps.
