These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
One of the things about incoming message notifications on Apple’s mobile platforms that has always sort of ground my gears is the fact that dismissing a missed message notification doesn’t automatically mark those messages as read.
If you’re interested in adding some new flair to the headers in your jailbroken iPhone or iPad’s Notification Center interface, then you might take a liking to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called NCHeaderPercent by iOS developer CydiaGeek.
While the stock Notification Center on your iPhone or iPad might be enough for viewing missed notification and interacting with them, iOS developer iamdega wanted something a bit more, and as a result, their gift to the community is a new jailbreak tweak called NotificationHub that we think is worth taking a closer look at.
One of the most annoying things that I put up with on a regular basis in terms of dismissing iMessage or Gmail notification banners from my Lock Screen or Notification Center is that the app icon badge pertaining to that notification doesn’t actually go away. In essence, launching the app to make the badge go away makes me feel like I’m investing twice the effort to dismiss that notification in its entirety.
If you’re somebody who gets a lot of incoming notifications on a regular basis, then you might find it challenging to feel organized every time you glance at your cluttered Lock Screen.
Newer iterations of iOS have placed additional emphasis on the Lock Screen’s user experience, bringing with it a complete redesign with new features that are intended to lend more user configurability. But other parts of the user interface have been neglected, with Notification Center being a prime example of that.
As notifications stack up on the Lock Screen and in Notification Center while you’re away, you might find yourself coming back to a colorful mess of missed notifications.
It can be convenient to swipe down from the top of your iPhone’s display to get a brief glance at any missed notifications you might have via Notification Center, but the gesture itself sometimes conflicts with the in-app gestures of games and certain full-screen apps.
Gamers and full-screen app users alike share the likelihood of benefiting from the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed PerfectGrabber by iOS developer Netskao.
PerfectGrabber makes it easier to determine the time and your current battery level by incorporating them directly into the Notification Center grabber that traditionally appears when you pull down from the top of the display in a full-screen app, including but not limited to games.
As you use Notification Center to peruse your missed notifications, there might come a time when you need to clear some out of your way. This is why Apple provides the “X” button for clearing certain notifications; but what if the clear button served an even more utilitarian purpose than it already does?
Say hello to a brand new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Numberfications by iOS developer EthanRDoesMC. This tweak effectively replaces the useless “X” in Notification Center’s individual clear buttons with a number to designate just how many notifications are nestled within that particular group.
Although I don’t use my iPhone’s Reachability interface that often, I do think that the gesture for invoking it is particularly clever on notched devices. Unfortunately, since I don’t really use Reachability that much, I find that the gesture goes to waste more than being useful.
If, like me, you rarely use the Reachability interface and would rather use the convenient Home Bar-based gesture for something more useful, then you’ll probably like a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called CantReachMe by iOS developer woodfairy. With it, you can map the native Reachability gesture to a new action of your choosing.
Upon launching your favorite package manager on your jailbroken handset and refreshing your sources this weekend, you should find a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Nougat by iOS developer Shade Zepheri in the changes tab list. And trust us when we say that this is something you’ll almost certainly want to check out.
As you might’ve discerned for yourself already in the screenshot examples above and below, Nougat brings an Android-inspired Notification Center interface to jailbroken iPhones, and it quite literally performs just as good as it looks.
