Ekip brings tighter integration between your jailbroken iPhone and your Mac

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 30, 2020

AirDrop, iCloud, and a bevy of other services provided by Apple have helped to create a nearly seamless user experience for those owning both an iOS device and a Mac. But if you’ve ever wanted a tighter integration than what already exists, then you’d be S.O.L., at least… without the help of a jailbroken handset.

Fortunately for those who do have jailbroken handset(s) at their disposal, a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Ekip by iOS developer maximehip can upgrade the level of integration that users might come to expect while using their iPhone or iPad and their Mac in the same general vicinity.

Upgrade your jailbroken iPhone’s Do Not Disturb indicator with Lune

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated October 27, 2021

Apple’s iPhone and iPad come standard with a notification-hampering feature known as Do Not Disturb, which can keep your handset silent when you don’t feel like being bothered by rings, dings, and other noises. More recently, Do Not Disturb began showing an unsightly banner on the Lock Screen when enabled, and not all users have taken kindly to it.

Lune is a free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Litten that was just recently rewritten from scratch to provide a new way of discerning when Do Not Disturb is turned on via the Lock Screen. It does so by displaying a configurable Moon icon wherever the user may choose to put it, just as depicted in the screenshot example above.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 29, 2020

The unc0ver Team has been extraordinarily silent despite FreeTheSandbox and ZecOps releasing a new tfp0 exploit with support for iOS & iPadOS versions 13.5.1-13.7recently , but that silence was broken this Sunday evening following a rather intriguing announcement.

The announcement, shared in a Tweet by the unc0ver Team and retweeted by unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd reveals exactly what the team has been working on all this time — a reworked version of Substitute:

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Boardy, iPadSwitcher, JBStatusNotifier, & more…

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 29, 2020

The jailbreak community has been filled with all kinds of interesting news recently, with the release of a new iOS 13.5.1-13.7-facing exploit and further updates to popular jailbreak tools like Odyssey to support it. But perhaps the most exciting thing about all of this is the jailbreak tweak side of things — the meat and potatoes that makes jailbreaking worth it.

In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweak releases in one convenient place so that you won’t have to bother searching for all of it yourself. This roundup will encompass all the latest jailbreak tweak releases between Monday, November 23rd and Sunday, November 29th. So without further ado, let’s get started!

iPadSwitcher ports the iPad’s superior App Switcher UI to pwned iPhones

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 28, 2020

Love it or hate it, the App Switcher is something we use every day while interacting with our iPhones. Not only does it provide a rapid way of returning to recently used applications, but it also lets users force-quit those that aren’t currently needed. Unfortunately, the App Switcher user experience isn’t identical from one platform to another…

Anyone who owns an iPad in addition to an iPhone would be able to attest to just how superior the iPad’s App Switcher user experience feels. Fortunately for jailbreakers, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed iPadSwitcher by iOS developer dpkg_ can bring that same user experience to pwned iPhones.

Boardy syncs your iPhone or iPad’s clipboard with your Mac or PC

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated March 28, 2022

Anyone that does serious multitasking between devices, especially with regard to their iPhone or iPad and their personal computer, is certain to take a liking to a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Boardy by iOS developer Greg0109.

JBStatusNotifier alerts jailbreakers to the Jailbreaks.app signing service’s certificate status

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 25, 2020

Apart from checkra1n, side-loadable jailbreak apps like Odyssey and unc0ver comprise of the overwhelming majority of modern jailbreak tools. While these jailbreak apps are easy to install via a computer with AltStore or Xcode, users demand computer-free options, and that’s the exact reason why signing services such as Jailbreaks.app exist.

As convenient as signing services can be in the short-term, they come with a rather conspicuous caveat: their certificates are often revoked, rendering them useless until a new certificate becomes available. With that in mind, Jailbreaks.app developer iCrazeiOS has released a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed JBStatusNotifier that will help jailbreakers identify when the Jailbreaks.app certificate becomes revoked or signed.

Substrate Safe Mode updated to support jailbroken iOS 14 devices

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 25, 2020

If your jailbreak depends on Cydia Substrate for tweak injection, then now would be a good time to launch your preferred package manager and refresh your sources. This is especially the case if you’re enjoying the perks of a pwned version of iOS or iPadOS 14 by way of the resilient checkra1n jailbreak.

Upon doing so, those jailbreakers should find an updated release of Substrate Safe Mode ready to be installed, subtly dubbed version 0.9.6005.

Yobun Pro provides jailbreakers with quick access to advanced shortcuts

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated March 1, 2021

One of the many things iOS users may notice is that Apple spends lots of time refining the platform’s user experience with each and every substantial iteration, paying special attention to user-friendliness regardless of what a user’s age or technical know-how might be. One of the unfortunate burn backs of having such a foolproof platform is that users aren’t typically provided with much by way of advanced settings.

While the issue above can be somewhat of a bummer to those more knowledgeable in the arts of technology, the good news is that jailbreakers aren’t bound by the confines of Apple’s interface simplicity. Jailbreak tweaks, such as the newly released Yobun Pro by iOS developer Plat Ykor, offers convenient shortcuts for advanced controls that iPhone users can’t normally access on a stock handset.

This tweak badgers iPhone users about their low battery until they charge it

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 23, 2020

While a lot of iPhone users tend to be sticklers when it comes to their handset’s battery level and keeping it charged up, we also see a fair share of folks who don’t seem to mind gambling on the cusp of a completely dead or just barely charged device. Can anyone say “triggered?”

BatteryFlow Reborn is a new and free jailbreak tweak developed by ItzNebbs with the intent of making iPhone users more actively aware of their handset’s low battery situation by continuously bombarding them with notification alerts and banners.

Fuji brings desktop-like windowed multitasking to jailbreakers at no extra charge

Anthony Bouchard ∙ November 21, 2020

Apple has improved the multitasking experience on the iPad by leaps and bounds over the years – quite literally going from an iPhone-style App Switcher to side-by-side apps over the course of just a few years. But for whatever reason, multitasking on the iPhone still bestows upon users what some might consider to be a cumbersome experience.

Those wishing that they could simply run windowed applications on their iPhone just as they can on their Mac or Windows PC might take a liking to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Fuji by iOS developer dcsyhi, because as depicted in the series of screenshot examples above, that’s precisely what this tweak allows iPhone users to do.
