ScrollBack returns you to your place on a page after accidentally scrolling to the top via the Status Bar

In case you were unaware, you can quickly jump back to the top of a scrollable page in iOS by tapping on the Status Bar. This gesture has been possible in iOS for the longest time, and while it’s helpful, I’ll be the first to admit that sometimes I tap it by accident.

Nothing can be more frustrating than losing your place on a scrollable page and starting over at the top again, but a new free jailbreak tweak called ScrollBack by iOS developer leftyfl1p strives to make your life a little bit easier in these scenarios.

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.

While most tweaks along these lines bring haptic feedback by way of screen taps, Erie takes a different approach by imposing haptic feedback whenever you press a button on your device.

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.
