Ensure iOS’ banner notifications aren’t blocking navigation bar buttons with miniBanner 14

Anthony Bouchard ∙ June 27, 2021

Banner notifications are just one of the native components of iOS 14 that could do with some intuitive design changes by Apple. More specifically, I’ve long felt that they’re just a little bit too large, often covering up navigation bars in apps when they appear for the short time that they do.

Countless jailbreak tweak releases in the past have attempted to remedy this situation by putting notification banners on a diet – an effort to reduce their intrusive footprint over whatever interface you might be using. The latest of such releases is miniBanner 14 by iOS developer MissThee.

This jailbreak tweak lets users add empty space between app icons with invisible widgets

Anthony Bouchard ∙ June 26, 2021

Jailbreakers, whether they use themes or not, tend to be of the mindset that device customization should be a human right. Apple seems to disagree; but I digress.

One way jailbreakers customize their handsets is by changing their Home Screen’s app icon layout. Unfortunately, Apple designed the Home Screen so that app icons would snap into place without the ability to leave spaces in between app icons.

Level up your iPhone’s App Switcher with the Gemini jailbreak tweak

Anthony Bouchard ∙ June 25, 2021

If there’s anything that jailbreaking my iPhone has taught me over the past several years, it’s that I should always come to expect more from iOS than Apple provides for it out of the box.

The aforementioned rule of thumb holds true in so many different respects, but one particular element of iOS that I find to be lacking features and intuitive integration is the App Switcher. It’s just… boring.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ June 25, 2021

Your iPhone’s wallpaper is arguably one of the most personal things you’ll customize on your handset right out of the box. Having said that, it’s a popular thing even for jailbreakers to customize.

One thing worth staring, however, is that jailbreakers do things a little differently. Rather than using boring motionless wallpaper images, jailbreak tweaks can apply unique effects to your wallpaper images that you simply can’t experience on a stock handset.

TWSafeSearch auto-deletes your search history in the Twitter app

Anthony Bouchard ∙ June 25, 2021

Privacy is a growing concern each and every day, and it’s easy to see why given the prevalence of trackers and and data breaches affecting the user accounts of various online services.

If you’re a Twitter user, then one way you can improve your account’s privacy is by keeping your search history scrubbed. Think Private Browsing for Twitter; this ensures that anyone looking over your shoulder or gaining unauthorized access to your account won’t know what you’ve been looking up.

Upgrade the boring low power banner on jailbroken iOS with Surge

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated August 25, 2022

As you run your iPhone’s battery far into the danger zone, iOS displays a low power banner to let you know that you should visit a charger as soon as you can.

The low power banner that comes with a stock installation of iOS is particularly barebones, and could do with some spicing up. TitanD3v seems to agree with this sentiment, and a such, a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Surge has been conceived.

LPM Enabler lets jailbroken iPads utilize Low Power Mode ahead of iPadOS 15

Anthony Bouchard ∙ June 24, 2021

One of the things iPadOS 15 will do for the iPad is port the iPhone’s handy Low Power Mode feature to Apple’s tablet for when the battery needs preserving.

It’s a shame that it took Apple so long to implement Low Power Mode on iPads out of the box, especially considering that it’s not a particularly complicated or unreasonable feature. But if you’re a jailbreaker, then you needn’t wait for iPadOS 15 to be released later this Fall to enjoy Low Power Mode on the iPad.

Flowing gives jailbreakers a smoother Home Screen paging animation

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated April 16, 2022

On any stock iPhone or iPad, swiping left or right on the Home Screen results in a paging effect as you move from one page to the next. This paging animation automatically locks your focus to the next or previous page of app icons, dependent on which way you swiped.

Some people like the paging animation, but it’s something that has been around since the dawn of the iPhone. If you’d prefer something a little different, then we might suggest checking out a new and free jailbreak tweak release called Flowing by iOS developer TitanD3v.
