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 our favorite parts of jailbreaking is that you can customize the locking and unlocking animations of your handset. We haven’t seen a jailbreak tweak of this nature for quite some time, but iOS developer Luke Muris is changing that with a new release called Amour.
Once installed, Amour allows you to customize both the locking and unlocking animations of your jailbroken iPhone or iPad. You’ll discover a preference pane in the Settings app where you can configure the tweak however you like:
iOS’ native Calculator app has received a bevy of revamps over the years, but one thing Apple keeps the same with every iteration is that signature black and orange color scheme.
Depending on how much you’re dying for a fresh aesthetic, you may want to try a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed SoftCalc by iOS developer CydiaGeek.
Looking for another way to spice up your pwned handset so that it stands out from the crowd? If so, then you might take an interest in a new free jailbreak tweak called Cornuicopia by iOS developer i0s_Tweak3r.
Upon installation, you can adjust the corner radius of several UI elements found throughout iOS, including but not limited to:
If you’re like me, then you might consider some of your notifications to be more important than others. But because of how iOS handles them, it’s easy for the most important notifications to get buried underneath all the noise from the rest of your apps.
Although Apple’s notification system isn’t perfect, a new jailbreak tweak called Priority by iOS developers Justin Proulx and Ayden Panhuyzen brings it one step closer. It can help you discern critical notifications at a glance without compromising those from other apps.
Anyone with a jailbroken device should know very well what the respring screen looks like. Depending on the version of iOS you’ve pwned, it might display the Apple logo or merely a black background with a white loading circle.
If you’re looking for a way to customize the respring screen, then a free jailbreak tweak called Gif2Ani V2 by iOS developers MightnightChips and Wizages is a great place to start.
If you’re looking for a new way to receive notifications from your favorite apps, then you might take an interest in a new jailbreak tweak called ShortLook by iOS developers Ayden Panhuyzen, Jamie Bishop, Justin Proulx, and Jose Hernandez.
ShortLook represents your incoming notifications with a fresh coat of paint. While they’d typically appear as banners on your Lock screen, ShortLook depicts them as customizable glyphs that are then centered on a black or transparent background.
By now, almost everyone would agree that the stock volume HUD on iOS is complete and utter garbage. There have been countless jailbreak tweak releases over the years that attempted to remedy this problem, but Ultrasound by iOS developer Ayden Panhuyzen is one of the best we’ve seen thus far.
As shown above, Ultrasound is a minimalist volume HUD replacement that appears at the top left of the display rather than smack-dab in the middle as it usually would out of the box. It’s not much larger than the iPhone X’s notch itself, so if you’re watching videos, it won’t interfere very much.
As most iOS device owners know, you can press and hold on the sleep/wake button to invoke a power down menu on your handset. From there, you can shut it down; but wouldn’t it be nice if you could do more from this interface?
iOS developer Luke Polanowski was thinking along similar lines, and a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Simple Power Down was conceived.
Certain Emojis, especially those depicting hand gestures, support a variety of different skin tones, which are configured on a per-Emoji basis. If you’ve never set a skin tone for a particular Emoji before, then you’re likely to encounter the interface shown above when tapping on it.
While there’s nothing wrong with choosing a skin tone for your Emojis, it’s rather annoying how iOS asks you to select a skin tone for each Emoji individually instead of remembering your choice for all of them. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed NoMoreSkinToneSuggestion by iOS developer A_H_Rabie prevents iOS from asking about skin tones once and for all.
Despite how Apple Maps has matured over the years, Google Maps continues to be one of the most popular navigation solutions on the iOS platform. Google Maps is reliable, easy to use, and encompasses a bevy of conveniences that Apple Maps doesn’t; but one thing it lacks customization.
Here to fix that dilemma is a new free jailbreak tweak called GMEnhancer by iOS developer b01s. This tweak provides users with several ways to modify the stock look and feel of the Google Maps app on pwned iOS handsets.
One of my pet peeves concerning photo deletion on iOS is that everything you delete gets sent to the “Recently Deleted” album in the Photos app rather than being permanently deleted. The result is that you end up deleting everything for a second time to remove it from your device.
Albeit a safety measure in case you change your mind or delete something by accident, this feature creates more work than some people want to deal with. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called FastDeleteX by iOS developer Mohammad Ghzayel solves this problem for anyone who feels the same way I do.
Unsurprisingly, there’s been a slight lull in jailbreak tweak development following the launch of iOS 12, but that hasn’t kept some developers from moving forward with captivating new releases.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, October 1st to Sunday, October 7th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases in detail and then outline the rest afterward.
